Abstract:

The Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme provides a unique resource for medical students and junior doctors as a definitive guide to the Foundation Programme. It is divided into 18 chapters, each covering a core area of the curriculum, including being a doctor, life on the wards, history and examination, prescribing, drugs, resuscitation, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterology, endocrinology, neurology, psychiatry, fluids and renal, haematology, skin and eyes, emergency department, procedures, and interpreting results. It presents evidence-based clinical guidance in a clear way that makes it easy to revise, remember, and implement on the ward. It gives reliable advice on what to do, and when and how to do it, with clinical diagrams that bring theory to life. It helps junior doctors navigate all aspects of their working life, from career development to workplace relations, paperwork to pay and pensions.

Full text

Abstract:

The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties covers each of the 14 core medical specialties encountered through medical school and Foundation Programme rotations. Packed full of high-quality illustrations, boxes, tables, and classifications, it is ideal for use at the direct point of care, whether on the ward or in the community, and for study and revision. Each chapter is easy to read and filled with digestible information, with features including ribbons to mark your most-used pages and mnemonics to help you memorize and retain key facts, while quotes from patients help the reader understand each problem better, enhancing the doctor/patient relationship. With reassuring and friendly advice throughout, this is the ultimate guide for every medical student and junior doctor for each clinical placement, and as a revision tool. This new edition has been reordered to follow a logical progression through the specialties, starting with an examination of the subjects of obstetrics, gynaecology, and paediatrics before moving on to ophthalmology, ear, nose, and throat (ENT), and dermatology. Orthopaedics and trauma are explored, leading through to emergency medicine, pre-hospital emergency medicine, and anaesthesia. Psychiatry and general practice are discussed before moving on to eponymous syndromes, and the book is rounded off by a new final chapter on doctors’ health and performance. Key references are flagged throughout, and included in a separate online resource.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous debates on the system of professions predominantly focused on medicine or a single profession. This chapter argues for an examination of the interactions between differing professions/occupations as an alternative approach to analyzing shifting professional boundaries. The chapter explores empirical data on professional interactions across the entire system from the medical profession to unqualified assistants. Two core themes emerge—firstly, minimal role blurring between doctors and nurses, but more substantive workplace blurring between nurses and health care assistants (HCAs); and secondly, significant role merging between doctors and managers with the gradual, variable development of an elite of medical managers. This chapter argues professional interactions are revealing. They illuminate the extent of autonomy of individual professions; and one discovers novel issues of power, professional control and accountability.

Full text

Abstract:

Oxford Case Histories in General Surgery aims to bring the different subspecialties of general surgery to life for its readers by adopting a case-based discussion format around real-life cases. It is most relevant to those who are just starting out in general surgery, including medical students, surgical care practitioners, foundation doctors, and those entering core surgical training. Each case presents a clinical vignette comprising focussed and relevant clinical and diagnostic information followed by a cases-based discussion that covers relevant clinical material pertinent to the core surgical element of the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum. The case-based discussion format is an important learning tool, as it allows focussed application of textbook knowledge to clinical practice and incorporates that with current evidence-based approaches to clinical and surgical management.

Byock, Ira. The Case Against Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia. Edited by Stuart J. Youngner and Robert M. Arnold. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199974412.013.3.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the debate concerning physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. More specifically, it considers whether doctors should be legally allowed to hasten a patient’s death in light of the statement of principle that they must not kill patients. It begins by discussing fundamental assumptions about the nature of society and the role of professions such as medicine before assessing the arguments of those who are in favor of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia and those who are opposed to it, with emphasis on the tension between principles and pragmatism. Arguing that the acts of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia weaken the moral grounding and structural integrity of the medical profession in service to society, the article presents a case against such practice based on a worldview and ethical framework built on core social values and principles that doctors can adopt to alleviate the suffering of their patients without resorting to death.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the impact of the doctor–patient relationship on patients’ physiology and well-being. The core of the chapter reports recent data on the physiological changes associated with placebo and nocebo effects and relates these findings to the impact of social relationships on health and disease. On average, the placebo effect’s relative weight in therapeutic improvement is around 40%. The most important component of the placebo effect is the doctor–patient relationship, and this is addressed by looking at the evolution of the behavior that underlies any medical act: care of the sick. Natural selection favored the evolution of behaviors aimed at helping group companions who were wounded or sick, through two different mechanisms: kin selection and reciprocal altruism. For a long period of human evolutionary history, care of the sick followed the path of intimate and affectionate relationships. Delegation to unfamiliar experts trained in medical science came much later. The take-home message of the chapter is that the opposition between humanistic and scientific medicine fades if one looks with an open mind at what we currently know about the biological dynamics that regulate the doctor–patient relationship.

Abstract:

This title provides a unique resource for medical students and junior doctors as a definitive guide to the medical specialties. It is divided into 14 chapters, each covering a specialty area, including obstetrics, paediatrics, gynaecology, psychiatry, ophthalmology, primary care, ENT, dermatology, anaesthesia, eponymous syndromes, orthopaedics, trauma, emergency medicine, and pre-hospital care. Each chapter aims to cover the core content of the specialty in a concise and logical way, focussing on presentation, diagnosis and management of specific conditions and giving clear advice on clinical management. A unique feature of both books is the use of humour, anecdotes and philosophical asides, helping ensure a rounded, patient-centred approach to the practise of medicine.

Abstract:

Abstract Loss and Grief: Personal Stories of Doctors and Other Healthcare Professionals, is a unique collection of personal narratives that chronicle the journeys of doctors and other healthcare professionals who have been personally impacted by life-altering losses. Edited by internationally recognized practitioners of supportive care medicine and grief counseling, these are unflinching, first-person narratives of authors walking in their own shoes. The narratives reveal losses of cherished loved ones, integrity, dreams, naïve views of colleagues, and the lack of institutional support for these inevitable experiences. Although the narrators are well-established leaders in their fields, serious loss brought each back to the exposed core of their most basic selves. They learned that the professional veneer was too thin to be instructive or protective. Readers might resonate with their own painful experiences and memories, and others might wonder how they will imagine their own future, when these inevitable aspects of being human—loss and grief—strike them, too. In Loss and Grief, the authors’ hope that such openly shared feelings of isolation and suffering will humanize the loss experience, ignite prospective discussions, and illuminate opportunities for education, research, and interventions to prepare us for multiple loss experiences endemic to life.

Jaëck, Frédéric. Generality and structures in functional analysis: the influence of Stefan Banach. Edited by Karine Chemla, Renaud Chorlay, and David Rabouin. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198777267.013.7.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines Stefan Banach’s contributions to the field of functional analysis based on the concept of structure and the multiply-flvored expression of generality that arises in his work on linear operations. More specifically, it discusses the two stages in the process by which Banach elaborated a new framework for functional analysis where structures were bound to play an essential role. It considers whether Banach spaces, or complete normed vector spaces, were born in Banach’s first paper, the 1922 doctoral dissertation On operations on abstract spaces and their application to integral equations. It also analyzes what appears to be the core of Banach’s 1922 article and the transformation into a general setting that it represents. The main achievements of Banach’s dissertation, as well as all the essential features that bear witness to the birth of a new theory, are concentrated in the study of linear operations.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the platformization of the health sector. A burgeoning field of online health platforms has emerged, ranging from personal fitness apps to medical platforms that are used by patients, doctors, and researchers. A global industry of health-related platforms is being stacked onto, and interwoven with, the infrastructural core of the ecosystem; developing sectoral health platforms is a potentially lucrative and data-rich area that major operators are keen to invest in. Examining health platforms, the chapter unravels a peculiar double-edged logic in how their benefit is argued: they offer personalized data-driven services to their customers, while simultaneously serving an overarching public interest in medical research, the outcomes of which ostensibly benefit everyone. Using the platform mechanisms as an analytical prism, the chapter scrutinizes three single platforms, which are illustrative of the health sector: 23andMe, PatientsLikeMe, and Parkinson mPower.

Pousa, Adrián. Optimización de rendimiento, justicia y consumo energético en sistemas multicore asimétricos mediante planificación. Editorial de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (EDULP), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.35537/10915/74504.

Full text

Abstract:

Los procesadores multicore asimétricos o AMPs (Asymmetric Multicore Processors) constituyen una alternativa de bajo consumo energético a los procesadores multicore convencionales formados por cores idénticos, pero también plantean grandes desafíos para el software de sistema. Los AMPs integran cores complejos de alto rendimiento y cores simples de bajo consumo. La mayoría de los algoritmos de planificación existentes para AMPs intentan optimizar el rendimiento global. Sin embargo, estos algoritmos degradan otros aspectos como la justicia o la eficiencia energética. El principal objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es superar estas limitaciones, mediante el diseño de estrategias de planificación más flexibles para AMPs. Asimismo, en esta tesis mostramos el impacto que la optimización de una métrica tiene en otras. Para mejorar el rendimiento global, la justicia o la eficiencia energética en AMPs, el planificador debe tener en cuenta el beneficio que cada aplicación alcanza al usar los distintos cores en un AMP. Dado que no todos los hilos en ejecución de una carga de trabajo obtienen siempre el mismo beneficio relativo (speedup factor–SF) al usar un core de alto rendimiento, debe tenerse en cuenta esta diversidad de SFs para optimizar los distintos objetivos. El sistema operativo (SO) debe determinar de forma efectiva el SF de cada hilo en ejecución. En esta tesis proponemos una metodología general para construir modelos de estimación de SF precisos basados en el uso de contadores hardware. La mayoría de los algoritmos de planificación existentes para AMPs, han sido evaluados empleando o bien simuladores o plataformas asimétricas emuladas o bien prototipos de planificadores en modo usuario. Por el contrario, en esta tesis doctoral, evaluamos los algoritmos propuestos en un entorno realista: empleando implementaciones de los algoritmos en el kernel de SOs reales y sobre hardware multicore asimétrico real.

Full text

Abstract:

This text provides an overview of major critical theorists from across disciplines—including the humanities, social sciences, and education—that discusses the importance of these critical perspectives for the advancement of LIS research and scholarship. The practical application of library and information science is based upon 75 years of critical theory and thought. Therefore, it is essential for students and faculty in LIS to be familiar with the work of a wide range of critical theorists. The aim of Critical Theory for Library and Information Science: Exploring the Social from Across the Disciplines is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the critical theorists important to the LIS audience, and to give insights into how such theory can be incorporated into actual LIS research and practice. This book consists of chapters on individual critical theorists ranging from Aglietta to Habermas to Spivak, written by an international group of library and information science scholars. Each chapter provides an overview of the theoretical stance and contributions of the theorist, as well as relevant critical commentary. This book will be particularly valuable as a reference text of core readings for those pursuing doctoral or masters level degrees in LIS.

Abstract:

La falta de consistencia ente el contenido curricular, forma de enseñanza y resultados; discrepancia entre la percepción de significancia del aprendizaje en Cuidados Paliativos, con la enseñanza actual de las competencias “core” han llevado a repensar la educación en este campo desde hace más de dos décadas, con pocos logros pero importantes logros en el país, en especial el marco normativo que incluye el derecho a una muerte digna y la obligatoriedad por parte de los prestadores de servicios en salud para garantizar el cuidado al final de la vida. Si bien ha sido un paso importante a nivel nacional, no es consecuente con la poca formación de los médicos, enfermeras y psicólogos en este campo. en el caso puntual de las ciencias de la salud, en Colombia de 59 programa de medicina, solo 9 han implementado la formación en cuidados Paliativos de forma optativa en el pregrado, sin evidencia en el ejercicio profesional de un aprendizaje significativo o niveles deseables de resolución de problemas clínicos al final de la vida. Existe solo dos grupos de investigación y 4 especialidades, dos de las cuales se oferta como supra especialidad. La nueva manera de ver la enfermedad, desde la complejidad, considera los fenómenos de emergencia, autoorganización, cooperación e inclusión. La propuesta curricular, sincitio de este trabajo de investigación, está sustentada en una amplia y profunda revisión de la literatura y evaluación por el experto en Cuidados Paliativos y referente Latinoamericano en Educación en cuidados Paliativos, Presidente de FEMEBA (Federación Medica Argentina), Médico, anestesiólogo Roberto Wenk. Los elementos angulares epistemológicos de la propuesta curricular son las visiones del neoconstructivismo, la pedagogía cognitiva y la transdisciplinariedad.

Full text

Abstract:

This book provides the qualitative research community with some insight on how to evaluate the quality of qualitative research. This topic has gained little attention during the past few decades. We, qualitative researchers, read journal articles, serve on masters’ and doctoral committees, and also make decisions on whether conference proposals, manuscripts, or large-scale grant proposals should be accepted or rejected. It is assumed that various perspectives or criteria, depending on various paradigms, theories, or fields of discipline, have been used in assessing the quality of qualitative research. Nonetheless, until now, no textbook has been specifically devoted to exploring theories, practices, and reflections associated with the evaluation of qualitative research. This book constructs a typology of evaluating qualitative research, examines actual information from websites and qualitative journal editors, and reflects on some challenges that are currently encountered by the qualitative research community. Many different kinds of journals’ review guidelines and available assessment tools are collected and analyzed. Consequently, core criteria that stand out among these evaluation tools are presented. Readers are invited to join the author to confidently proclaim: “Fortunately, there are commonly agreed, bold standards for evaluating the goodness of qualitative research in the academic research community. These standards are a part of what is generally called ‘scientific research.’ ”

Full text

Abstract:

This volume is designed to mark the outstanding legacy of Professor Wojciech Sadurski’s scholarship in the field of comparative constitutional law. It provides a rich palette of chapters that aim to rethink the state of the art in this field, in light of the latest challenges to the foundations of liberal constitutionalism. Edited by former doctoral students of Professor Sadurski, the volume transcends the celebration of his major academic contributions by linking his pioneering writings, inter alia on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), to core dilemmas in the turbulent state of the rule of law in western democracies. It consolidates contributions by numerous current and former students, as well as colleagues and friends around the globe in admiration of his didactic style, tireless work, civil dedication, and priceless commentary influencing the work of generations of constitutional scholars. Besides drawing on Wojciech’s fields of interest, the book aims to provide a full overview of the crucial dilemmas in dealing with the current decline of liberal democracies and populist challenges to the rule of law throughout Europe—events that he predicted early on in his writings about the Jörg Haider affair in Austria and the introduction of Article 7 TEU by the Amsterdam Treaty. The major themes of the chapters are thus as follows: 1. Populism and democratic decline in CEE; 2. The EU role: Article 7 TEU vis-à-vis the rule of law in Hungary and Poland; 3. Constitutional review and militant democracy: between public reason and new forms of populism.

Abstract:

This book explores the welfare experiences of the sick poor between the 1750s and through the so-called crisis of the Old Poor Law ending in the 1830s. It brings together a large dataset of accounts, vestry minutes, bills, contracts and letters by or about the poor to provide a comprehensive and colourful overview of the nature, scale and negotiation of medical welfare. At its core stand the words and lives of the poor themselves, reconstructed in painstaking detail to show that medical welfare became a totemic issue for parochial authorities by the 1830s. The book suggests that the Old Poor Law confronted a rising tide of sickness by the early nineteenth century. While there are spectacular instances of parsimony and neglect in response to such rising need, in most places and at most times, parish officers seem to have felt a moral obligation to the sick. Indeed, we might by and large construct their responses as considerate and generous. To some extent this reflected Christian paternalism, but we also see other factors at play. These include a growing sense that illness, even illness amongst the poor, was and should be remediable and a shared territory of negotiation between paupers, advocates and officials. The result was a canvas of medical welfare with extraordinary colour and depth. By the 1820s, more of the ill-health of ordinary people was captured by the poor law and being doctored or sojourning in an institution became part of pauper and parochial expectation. These trends are brought to vivid life in the words of the poor and their advocates, such that the book genuinely offers a re-interpretation of the Old Poor Law in it slater phases form the bottom up.

Abstract:

This book is an accessible and practical core text on the three domains of health protection: Communicable Disease Control, Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response (EPRR), and protection of the public from environmental hazards (Environmental Public Health). The editors have attempted to develop an “all hazards approach” to dealing with health protection situations. Most health protection books confine themselves to one of the three domains, whereas this book presents a practical and all hazards approach, with some account of the overarching principles of health protection on which day-to-day practice rests. The target audience is health protection practitioners, students, doctors, nurses and other non-medical professionals who may encounter health protection issues in their daily practice. From a clear introduction to the essential principles of health protection work, the book guides readers through how to manage real health protection incidents using a combination of case studies and quick reference action checklists. Each case study provides a common health protection scenario which develops in stages, in the same way as a real-life case or incident. As the story unfolds, the reader will learn about the nature and significance of the specific threat to population health, the practical steps and issues involved in an effective public health response and the health protection principles underpinning that response. Other chapters outline the general principles of health protection, providing a deeper understanding of key tools and mechanisms, as well as insights into new and emerging health protection issues. A series of individual checklists dealing with a broad range of commonly-faced diseases, hazards and incidents complete the book. These give concise and practically-focused information that can be used even by non-specialists in time-pressured situations. In particular, the variety of chapters covered throughout the book, on Communicable Diseases, Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response, and Environmental Public Health, offer a unique perspective borne out of practical experience, not easily accessible elsewhere.
