Educational Standards for Nurses: With Other Addresses on Nursing Subjects (Routledge Revivals)
by Isabel Hampton RobbOriginally published in 1907, this title was one of several influential textbooks on nursing written by Isabel Hampton Robb, a nursing theorist. The first superintendent of nurses at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing she helped to found key organizations for nurses in the USA. Her work in nursing has led to her being thought of as a founder of modern American nursing theory, and many of the standards she implemented are still in place today. Hampton also played a large role in advancing the social status of nursing, previously thought of a profession for the lower classes. Her work in developing a curriculum of more advanced training during her time at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing raised the status of the profession. Nursing education today would not be what it is without the contribution of Isabel Hampton Robb.

Eerie New Mexico
by Ray John AragónNew Mexico's night sky generated speculation about alien visitation for centuries before the Roswell Incident of 1947.

Eet Minder Leef Langer U Praktiese Gids Vir Kalorie Beperking Met Optimale Voeding
by Anca IoviţăTydens my derde jaar in die mediese skool, het ek op ‘n aanlyn artikel afgekom oor kalorie beperking met optimale voeding. Ek het gelees oor ‘n oënskynlik eenvoudige dieët ingryping wat die gemiddelde en maksimale lewensduur van laboratorium diere soos gis, vrugte vlieë, wurms en muise verleng het. Op daardie tydstip was ek nie bewus dat sulke eksperimente reeds gedoen word op nie-menslike primate ook nie. <P><P> Eerlikwaar, ek het afgemaak as nuuskierigheid, ‘n ingryping wat ‘n effek het op eenvoudige organismes soos vrugte vlieë, maar wat nooit op sulke komplekse wesens soos ons sal werk nie. Dit was net te goed om waar te wees. <P><P> Tyd het verby gegaan en my verkeerd bewys. Gegewe ‘n vroeë kindertyd fassinasie met die grense van lewens verlenging, het ek ingenieurswese en medisyne gestudeer in ‘n poging om radikale verlengde menslike lewensduur te bewerkstellig. Na ‘n kort rukkie van navorsing oor neurale prostese in ‘n Duitse laboratorium, het ek besef dat kunsmatig ingeplante toestelle binne in die menslike liggaam nie ‘n lang termyn oplossing was nie. <P><P> Ek het huis toe gekom waar ek met my mediese residensie in geriatries begin het, die tak van medisyne wat spesialiseer in ouderdom-geassosieerde siektes. ‘n Snaakse ding het toe gebeur. Om te lees oor teorieë van oud word is een ding. Daaglikse sorg vir mense 3 – 4 keer jou ouderdom is totaal ‘n ander ding en ek het begin om die kolletjies te verbind. <P><P> Ek het opgelet dat sommige mense verouder soos wyn en ander soos asyn.

Effective Medical Leadership
by Bryce TaylorThe modern hospital represents a complex community in which life and death decisions are made on the front lines of patient care, and difficult operational and strategic initiatives are developed in the offices of institutional leaders. Effective Medical Leadership describes the unusual position of a medical leader in an organization often administered by non-medical managers.Through extensive and situational examples in the complex hospital setting, Dr. Bryce Taylor illuminates the principles of leadership, focusing on the challenges, the solutions, and the daily life of the head of a division, department, or program. In hospitals, just as in other large organizations, effective leaders must appreciate the big picture, pay attention to detail, and, above all, care about the careers of their constituents in addition to patient health. Here, Taylor outlines successes as well as failures, emphasizing that leadership, while an imperfect science, is based on common sense, integrity, an orientation to the welfare of colleagues, and a passionate and consistent commitment to the mission of an organization.

Effects of Exercise on Hypertension
by Linda S. PescatelloAs the first primer on the effects of exercise on human hypertension, Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems provides the state-of-the-art effects of exercise on the many possible mechanisms underlying essential hypertension in humans. The book contains chapters by distinguished experts on the effects of exercise on physiological systems known to be involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as less well known aspects of hypertension such as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure profile and oxidative stress. An emerging area, the effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure is also covered. A unique aspect of the book is that it covers the effects of exercise mimetics on vascular cell adaptations in order to begin to elucidate some of the cellular mechanisms that may underlie blood pressure reductions with exercise training. Lastly, the book will end with a chapter on the interactive effects of genes and exercise on blood pressure. Chapters are grouped by physiological system or mechanism. The text begins with two overview chapters; one on the general effects of aerobic exercise training and the second on the general effects of resistance exercise training on blood pressure. Each chapter begins with a bulleted list of key points. Effects of Exercise on Hypertension: From Cells to Physiological Systems will be of great value to professional individuals in cardiovascular medicine, the cardiovascular sciences, allied health care professionals, and medical and graduate students in the cardiovascular sciences and medicine.
Efficient Cognition: The Evolution of Representational Decision Making
by Armin W. SchulzAn argument that representational decision making is more cognitively efficient, allowing an organism to adjust more easily to changes in the environment. Many organisms (including humans) make decisions by relying on mental representations. Not simply a reaction triggered by perception, representational decision making employs high-level, non-perceptual mental states with content to manage interactions with the environment. A person making a decision based on mental representations, for example, takes a step back from her perceptions at the time to assess the nature of the world she lives in. But why would organisms rely on representational decision making, and what evolutionary benefits does this reliance provide to the decision maker? In Efficient Cognition, Armin Schulz argues that representational decision making can be more cognitively efficient than non-representational decision making. Specifically, he shows that a key driver in the evolution of representational decision making is that mental representations can enable an organism to save cognitive resources and adjust more efficiently to changed environments. After laying out the foundations of his argument—clarifying the central questions, the characterization of representational decision making, and the relevance of an evidential form of evolutionary psychology—Schulz presents his account of the evolution of representational decision making and critically considers some of the existing accounts of the subject. He then applies his account to three open questions concerning the nature of representational decision making: the extendedness of decision making, and when we should expect cognition to extend into the environment; the specialization of decision making and the use of simple heuristics; and the psychological sources of altruistic behaviors.
