Normal Pregnancy: Physiology and Management by Akmal El-Mazny English | June 29, 2019 | ISBN: 1077054904 | 85 pages | EPUB | 1.53 Mb Pregnancy is a peculiar physiological state in which many changes take place to help adaptation of the woman's body to pregnancy. Understanding these changes is essential for discrimination between normal pregnancy symptoms and pathological conditions, and for understanding the effect of pregnancy on preexisting diseases. Although pregnancy is considered a normal physiological event, yet it may be complicated by a disease or a disorder that affects the health or endangers the life of the mother or the fetus. Antenatal care is a program of preventive obstetrics, with a main objective to ensure a safe motherhood, culminating in a safe delivery of a healthy fetus. This book provides a comprehensive review of normal pregnancy, emphasizing its physiology and management, which will be of immense value for obstetricians and allied health professionals. By developing a clear understanding of what is normal, you will better understand abnormalities affecting pregnancy and the rationale behind treatment.

New Directions in Contemporary Australian Poetry By Dan Disney, Matthew Hall 2021 | 295 Pages | ISBN: 3030762866 | EPUB | 2 MB This book sets out to navigate questions of the future of Australian poetry. Deliberately designed as a dialogue between poets, each of the four clusters presented here―"Indigeneities"; "Political Landscapes"; "Space, Place, Materiality"; "Revising an Australian Mythos"―models how poetic communities in Australia continue to grow in alliance toward certain constellated ideas. Exploring the ethics of creative production in a place that continues to position capital over culture, property over community, each of the twenty essays in this anthology takes the subject of Australian poetry definitively beyond Eurocentrism and white privilege. By pushing back against nationalizing mythologies that have, over the last 200 years since colonization, not only narrativized the logic of instrumentalization but rendered our lands precarious, this book asserts new possibilities of creative responsiveness within the Australian sensorium.  Negotiating Latinidades, Understanding Identities within Space By Kathryn Quinn-Sánchez 2015 | 145 Pages | ISBN: 144387163X | PDF | 1 MB Preconceived ideas attached to space limit the ways in which the concept can be envisioned. This edited collection explores many different types of space, including exile, which prohibits one's ability to return home; transnationalism, which encourages movement between national borders typically due to dual citizenship; the borderlands, which implies legal and illegal crossings; and finally, the open road as metaphor for normative, heterosexual masculinity. At issue in all of these representations is the role of freedom to self-define and travel freely across barriers that exist to deter entry into physical and metaphorical spaces. Unpacking social location by clearly discussing identity markers within space allows each contributor to this volume to disentangle the intricacies within Latino/a subjectivities. Specifically, Oscar Hijuelos determines his character based on the experience of exile from his beloved homeland, Cuba. Ernesto Quiñónez' protagonist demands his piece of the pie, or place within the American dream by climbing the social strata through criminal means. Reyna Grande's characters find their identities tied to the success or failure of a dance studio where culture, identity and economics are simultaneously negotiated. When the urban city becomes a metaphor for untamed violence, Daniel Alarcón represents the city/jungle as spaces that reflect two cultures that clash―the modern and the ancient, one left behind and one surging ahead. While on the islands―in New York City or the Dominican Republic―Angie Cruz and Nelly Rosario invoke the space of the sea to portray the friction between being in one physical space while longing to be in the other. Finally, Erika Lopez destabilizes the patriarchal, canonical road novel by deconstructing the stereotype with her protagonist who is a bisexual, motorcycling woman that travels across the US.  Gerald Kaufman, "Necessary Conversations: Between Adult Children And Their Aging Parents" English | ISBN: 1561487988 | 2013 | 225 pages | EPUB | 1075 KB In this timely book, family counselors Gerald and Marlene Kaufman urge adult children and their parents to have direct conversations about the decisions that lie ahead as parents age. The Kaufmans suggest that families use their parents' retirement as the benchmark for having the first discussion about their parents' plans for the next phase of their lives. The Kaufmans point out that most families wait until they're faced with a crisis before having these conversations. The big questions facing aging adults are: 1. Where should they live as they become less able to care for a property? 2. How will they manage their finances so that they are as prepared as possible to meet their needs as they age? Are they ready to invite one or more of their children to become their partners in making financial decisions? 3. Are they ready to invite one or more of their children to become their partners in making their medical decisions? 4. How can parents and children work together in determining when it's no longer safe or wise for the parents to drive? 5. What end-of-life decisions should parents be prepared to make? What is the best way to have those discussions? Necessary Conversations is filled with stories and examples from many families, most with different life circumstances, but all facing these same issues. The chapters end with "Getting Started," a list of suggestions for action, as well as "Questions" for focusing on practical outcomes to the discussions. The book includes a series of exhibits-from a "Needs Assessment for Caregivers" to a "Medications and Supplements List" to a "Driving Contract and Checklist." A thoughtful and useful guide to a life stage that's often dreaded and muddled through. Gerald W. Kaufman and L. Marlene Kaufman have been family counselors for nearly 40 years. This book grew out of a seminar they were asked to lead with their adult daughter and her husband. |
