Applying Evidence-Based Laboratory Medicine: A Step-By-Step Guide By Christopher P. Price, Joanne Lozar Glenn, Robert H. Christenson 2009 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 1594250898 | PDF | 48 MB This workbook offers a step-by-step guide to applying the principles of evidence-based laboratory medicine (EBLM) in routine practice. The term "evidence-based" is increasingly becoming part of the language in the practice of clinical medicine, and in laboratory medicine. In laboratory medicine, it is also becoming clear that the "evidence" differs somewhat from that on which the specialty was founded. The foundation of laboratory medicine is an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that describe the pathology of disease, but in applying this knowledge to patient care the emphasis moves from understanding disease mechanisms to improving health outcomes. By applying EBLM to daily practice, laboratory professionals can Ensure appropriate use of tests at the requesting, decision-making, and application phases. Make the business case for implementing new diagnostic tools and strategies that meet clinical needs. Become full members of the clinical team and take an important role in implementing change. The key is understanding the question being asked-and then applying the A5 EBLM Cycle: Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Assess. This workbook walks readers through this process by providing a wide range of case studies that illustrate applications of EBLM in routine laboratory practice. Readers are then encouraged to record their own examples, consider how they might be addressed using the principles of EBLM, formulate research questions, and then follow those questions to their evidence-based solutions. Throughout the text, sidebars and exercises offer additional helpful information and highlight key concepts. Whether used alone or with colleagues, this workbook provides the knowledge and practice that will give readers confidence that they are indeed learning how to apply the best available scientific evidence to diagnostic challenges, and in the process, playing a central role in patient care.

 Max Griffiths, "Angels in the Outback: The Australian Inland Mission: A Century of Service to the Outback" English | ISBN: 1921719583 | 2012 | 352 pages | EPUB | 10 MB Just before World War I, Australia's outback suffered from the decline of its goldmines and the hard times on its pastoral runs. The white inhabitants were few, and were rarely if ever visited by clergymen, doctors, or nurses. The region's long-distance mailman was the most regular visitor, but the letters and newspapers he brought were sometimes weeks old. It was the Reverend John Flynn, a young Presbyterian clergyman from Victoria, who set out to ease the loneliness of many outback people. Working under the banner of his Australian Inland Mission, Flynn eventually was helped by travelling padres who held religious services where two or three people were gathered together. He was also assisted by young nurses who opened makeshift hospitals far from the doctor's surgery. The difficulties that they faced are traced in this book. We meet Sister Latto Bett, travelling on an open trolley along one of the few outback railways and holding up an umbrella to protect her from the intense heat. We glimpse Padre Plowman riding a camel, for it was still the main carrier in a vast arid area. In the late 1920s, the world's first flying doctor service was founded. It was made possible by Flynn's supporters: a young and dedicated Melbourne doctor named George Simpson, along with Alfred Traegar of Adelaide, who devised a pedal wireless that linked outback homesteads and camps with the faraway pilot and doctor, as well as the engineers who managed to fit a stretcher inside the cramped cabin of the tiny Qantas aircraft of that era. Above all, Flynn received financial help from two Victorians - the Reverend J.A. Barbour and H.V. McKay, the celebrated maker of harvesting machines. Tens of thousands of other Australians, many of whom were poor, donated the money that spread this aerial network across the continent. After Flynn died, his role as leader was taken up by Fred McKay, a North Queenslander, and then by Max Griffiths, who is the author of Angels in the Outback. This remarkable story is told for the first time in all its detail and with the understanding of an insider. The people and the atmosphere of the times are carefully brought to life, weaving together important strands of Australian history.  James E. Despain, Jane Bodman Converse, Kenneth H.

America's Prisoner: The Memoirs of Manuel Noriega By Peter Eisner 1997 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 0679432272 | PDF | 48 MB Important messages sometimes come from unlikely messengers. Manuel Noriega may be a demon in the eyes of most Americans, but he has a unique and alarming view of the reasons behind the U.S. invasion of Panama. His book is certain to be one of the most newsworthy and controversial events of the year, containing revelations about dealings with George Bush, Oliver North, William Casey and the CIA, Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro, and Moammar Quadafi.Noriega's story was independently investigated by Peter Eisner, a top foreign correspondent who has reported on Latin America for more than twenty years. Eisner's reporting confirms many of Noriega's assertions and provides additional perspective on his conduct as head of Panama's military, his relations with key U.S. officials, and the damage inflicted upon the people of Panama by the U.S. invasion. Eisner's reporting raises new questions about allegations that Noriega was a drug dealer, a murderer, and a thief.America's Prisoner is one of the most unusual and important accounts ever written about U.S. aggression and duplicity. It's the story of how we have imprisoned a man -- and a nation.  Mark Stelzer, "Along the Way: The Life, Lessons, and Legacy of Father Hugh F.

 Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University By Emily J. Levine 2021 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 022634181X | PDF | 6 MB During the nineteenth century, nearly ten thousand Americans traveled to Germany to study in universities renowned for their research and teaching. By the mid-twentieth century, American institutions led the world. How did America become the center of excellence in higher education? And what does that story reveal about who will lead in the twenty-first century?Allies and Rivals is the first history of the ascent of American higher education seen through the lens of German-American exchange. In a series of compelling portraits of such leaders as Wilhelm von Humboldt, Martha Carey Thomas, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Emily J. Levine shows how academic innovators on both sides of the Atlantic competed and collaborated to shape the research university. Even as nations sought world dominance through scholarship, universities retained values apart from politics and economics. Open borders enabled Americans to unite the English college and German PhD to create the modern research university, a hybrid now replicated the world over. In a captivating narrative spanning one hundred years, Levine upends notions of the university as a timeless ideal, restoring the contemporary university to its rightful place in history. In so doing she reveals that innovation in the twentieth century was rooted in international cooperation―a crucial lesson that bears remembering today. |
