Clinical research in critical care has exploded in the past several years and we now have a much better understanding of how to care for intensive care unit (ICU) patients in areas such as management of sepsis, fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, antibiotic administration and sedation and analgesia. However, despite improved clinical care, many critically ill patients continue to experience complications of critical illness - some complications are iatrogenic and preventable, while others are simply a component of the natural history of critical illness. These complications lead to increased mortality, morbidity, cost and long-term chronic conditions. Non-Pulmonary Complications of ...
This handbook considers topics that have general application to the critically ill patient. Basic pathophysiology and understanding of its role in critical care monitoring and management are covered, followed by a close look at trauma related and non-trauma related entities likely to afflict the critically ill surgical patient.The authors consist of practitioners who are experts in their field. They represent the team approach to critical care management where members from the divisions of anesthesia, internal medicine, respiratory medicine, infectious disease and surgical specialties all contribute in formulating intervention, assessment and management plans for the critically ill surgical patient.By emphasising the surgical conditions requiring critical care, The Surgical Critical Care Handbook will serve as a quick and easy reference for any medical trainee or practitioner aspiring to join the ICU.

Des de la seva primera edició, ja fa mes de 25 anys, el llibre ha anat incorporant a les seves edicions els canvis i avenços produïts en aquest àmbit. Aquesta sisena edició adopta un nou plantejament en l'estudi dels éssers vius que ve de l'actual perspectiva molecular de l'evolució aportada per la genòmica i la proteòmica. L'obra tracta en profunditat la química de la vida i presenta un text d'una gran qualitat científica i els millors recursos de l'edició i la didàctica de les ciències experimentals. El llibre està enmarcat dintre del Projecte Scriptorium, que té com a principal objectiu la publicació en català de llibres bàsics de text universitari de les carreres científiques o tècniques. La participació de l'IEC en el projecte és una garantia de qualitat tant pel que fa al contingut de les obres seleccionades com al llenguatge i a la terminologia emprades en les traduccions.

In Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition, Dr. David Klein builds on the phenomenal success of the first three editions, with his skills-based approach to learning organic chemistry. The Klein program covers all the concepts typically covered in an organic chemistry course while placing a special emphasis on the skills development needed to support these concepts. Students in organic chemistry need to be able to bridge the gap between theory (concepts) and practice (problem-solving skills). Klein's SkillBuilder examples and activities offer extensive opportunities for students to develop proficiency in the key skills necessary to succeed in organic chemistry.
