 Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Related Conditions By Stephan C. Mann, Stanley N. Caroff, Paul E. Keck Jr., Arthur Lazarus 2003 | 217 Pages | ISBN: 1585620114 | PDF | 2 MB Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and other hyperthermic conditions are rare complications of antipsychotic drugs that can cause discomfort, disability, and even death. As a result, every psychiatrist, physician, and mental health care professional needs to be able to spot warning signs of NMS and to administer treatment in time to prevent a fatal outcome. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Related Conditions is an important tool for clinicians, outlining a framework for understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing these little-understood and often overlapping disorders. This new second edition extensively updates and revises the first edition, integrating an explosion of new findings that have occurred since the earlier edition was published in 1989. A new chapter on serotonin syndrome is particularly important, given the rise in use of serotonergic drugs such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). It is the first comprehensive review of this condition to appear in the world literature. Other chapters focus on related conditions such as antipsychotic drugвЂ"related heatstroke, hyperthermia associated with other neuropsychiatric drugs, and malignant catatonia. The heatstroke chapter contains a detailed consideration of thermoregulatory mechanisms, the disruption of which could underlie the pathogenesis of all these conditions. Written by four internationally renowned authorities on NMS, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Related Conditions will equip clinicians with a practical approach based on the most current science. In addition, this balanced monograph will stimulate research, with coverage of controversies and unanswered questions to provide direction for future study.

Nemesis The Battle For Japan 1944 45 by William Collins English | May 5, 2016 | ISBN: 9780007219810 | 704 pages | PDF | 2.84 Mb A companion volume to his bestselling 'Armageddon', Max Hastings' account of the battle for Japan is a masterful military history.Featuring the most remarkable cast of commanders the world has ever seen, the dramatic battle for Japan of 1944-45 was acted out across the vast stage of Asia: Imphal and Kohima, Leyte Gulf and Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the Soviet assault on Manchuria.In this gripping narrative, Max Hastings weaves together the complex strands of an epic war, exploring the military tactics behind some of the most triumphant and most horrific scenes of the twentieth century.

Julia Timpe, "Nazi-Organized Recreation and Entertainment in the Third Reich " English | ISBN: 1137531924 | 2017 | 265 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 3 MB This book explores the activities of the Nazi regime's vast leisure programme. Shortly after coming to power in Germany, it began a large-scale undertaking to bring happiness and a good life to so-called 'Aryan' Germans, carried out by the Nazi leisure organization Kraft durch Freude. Julia Timpe traces Kraft durch Freude's practices and propaganda from 1933 through the Second World War, and analyses Nazi-organized sports classes, entertainment events, and beautification campaigns for industrial sites and the countryside, as well as Kraft durch Freude's activities in entertaining German soldiers and concentration camp guards. Contributing to newer scholarship which focuses on the integratory force of the Nazi promise of a unified 'racial community' of all 'Aryan' Germans, this book highlights that Kraft durch Freude's 'everyday production of joy' was central to Nazism, closely connected to the destructive side of the Third Reich, and ultimately a major reason for Nazism's success among the German population.
 Nazi war crimes, US intelligence and selective prosecution at Nuremberg: controversies regarding the role of the Office of Strategic Services By Michael Salter 2007 | 469 Pages | ISBN: 1904385818 | PDF | 3 MB Reviewing recently declassified CIA documents, this book provides a balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials. Giving new details of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS General Karl Wolff, were provided with effective immunity deals, partly as a reward for their wartime cooperation with US intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former CIA Director, the author also discusses the role of such officials in mobilizing the unique resources of a modern intelligence agency to provide important trial testimony and vital documentary evidence. Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg argues that both war crimes prosecutors and intelligence officials can engage in mutually beneficial collaborations, but that both sides need to recognize and appreciate the problems that may arise from the fact that these institutions are required to operate according to different, and in some cases contradictory, agendas. This topical book gives those studying, or with interests in, international law, criminal law and history an insight into the debates surrounding international war crimes, within the context of the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

Jun Wu, Hao Wu, Hong Wei Andy Tan, "Multi-layer Pavement System under Blast Load" English | 2018 | pages: 239 | ISBN: 9811050007 | PDF | 15,6 mb This book proposes the concept of a multi-layer pavement system to fulfill the blast resistance requirement for pavement design. It also presents a damage pattern chart for multi-layer pavement design and rapid repair after blast load. Such a multi-layer system consists of three layers including asphalt concrete (AC) reinforced with Geogrid (GST) at the top, a high-strength concrete (HSC) layer in the middle, and engineered cementitious composites (ECC) at the bottom. A series of large-scale laboratory impact tests were carried out to prove the usefulness of this concept and show its advantages over other conventional pavement system. Furthermore, field blast tests were conducted to show the actual behavior of this multi-layer pavement system subjected to blast load under real-world conditions. |
