Since 1855, Ethiopia has had four remarkable emperors who have left a deep mark on the evolution of the country's politics over the last 140 years. Yohannes IV (1872-89) alone has not hitherto had serious and sustained scholarly attention and this present study aims to fill this deficit. 'Magnificent biography makes a significant contribution to Ethiopian studies. This work on a notable ruler, who did much to defend his country against foreign invasion, deserves to be read by all students of Ethiopia' - Richard Pankhurst
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
A comprehensible introduction to the most fascinating research in theoretical physics: advanced quantum gravity. Ideal for researchers and graduate students.
La donna, la famiglia e il lavoro sono temi strettamente connessi. Pietro Germi li ha coltivati, soprattutto la donna e la famiglia, in tutta la sua opera. Considerato un moralista conservatore dalla critica, è stato dimenticato e sottovalutato negli anni Settanta e Ottanta. Le sue posizioni personali sono state confuse con quelle del regista che, al contrario, ha preceduto l’evoluzione sociale non solo nella trilogia satirica ma anche nei suoi ultimi film dove si è interrogato, magari contraddittoriamente, sul rapporto uomo/donna, diventato, come lo ha definito un recensore, la sua (magnifica) ossessione.
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an
This book reviews the recent progress made in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal cancer. Epidemiology, molecular biology, pathology, staging, and prognosis are first discussed. The radiologic assessment of esophageal cancer and the role of endoscopy in diagnosis, staging, and management are then described. The principles of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and systemic chemotherapy for esophageal cancer are explained, and particular attention is paid to the multidisciplinary management of early-stage cervical, thoracic, distal, and junctional tumors. Up-to-date information is also provided on the treatment of metastatic and recurrent disease and on approaches tha...
