Modern Soft Tissue Pathology
by Markku MiettinenThis book comprehensively covers modern soft tissue pathology and includes both tumors and non-neoplastic entities. Soft tissues make up a large bulk of the human body, and they are susceptible to a wide range of diseases. Many soft-tissue tumors are biologically very aggressive, and the chance of them metastasizing to vital organs is quite high. In recent years, the outlook for soft-tissue cancers has brightened dramatically due to the increased accuracy of the pathologist's tools. All methods of diagnosis are covered here, with an emphasis on the newest immunoassays and other genetic, molecular, and immunologic diagnostic modalities. This book's systematic description of benign and malignant primary soft tissue tumors with didactic, comprehensive panels of illustrations allows the reader to formulate a complete understanding of the morphology of tumor entities at one glance. The book covers both the most common tumor entities and more unusual diseases using more than 1,500 color images, making it a resource for beginning and senior pathologists.

Modern Survival Analysis in Clinical Research: Cox Regressions Versus Accelerated Failure Time Models
by Aeilko H. Zwinderman Ton J. CleophasAn important novel menu for Survival Analysis entitled Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) models has been published by IBM (international Businesss Machines) in its SPSS statistical software update of 2023. Unlike the traditional Cox regressions that work with hazards, which are the ratio of deaths and non-deaths in a sample, it works with risk of death, which is the proportion of deaths in the same sample. The latter approach may provide better sensitivity of testing, but has been seldom applied, because with computers risks are tricky and hazards because they are odds are fine. This was underscored in 1997 by Keiding and colleague statisticians from Copenhagen University who showed better-sensitive goodness of fit and null-hypothesis tests with AFT than with Cox survival tests.So far, a controlled study of a representative sample of clinical Kaplan Meier assessments, where the sensitivity of Cox regression is systematically tested against that of AFT modeling, has not been accomplished. This edition is the first textbook and tutorial of AFT modeling both for medical and healthcare students and for professionals. Each chapter can be studied as a standalone, and, using, real as well as hypothesized data, it tests the performance of the novel methodology against traditional Cox regressions. Step by step analyses of over 20 data files stored at Supplementary Files at Springer Interlink are included for self-assessment. We should add that the authors are well qualified in their field. Professor Zwinderman is past-president of the International Society of Biostatistics (2012-2015) and Professor Cleophas is past-president of the American College of Angiology (2000-2002). From their expertise they should be able to make adequate selections of modern data analysis methods for the benefit of physicians, students, and investigators. The authors have been working and publishing together for 25 years and their research can be characterized as a continued effort to demonstrate that clinical data analysis is not mathematics but rather a discipline at the interface of biology and mathematics.
Modern Taxonomy of Bacteria and Archaea: New Methods, Technology and Advances
by Wen-Jun Li Jian-Yu Jiao Nimaichand Salam Manik Prabhu Narsing RaoThis book introduces the current approaches in prokaryotic taxonomy and streamlines the advanced techniques for use in prokaryotic systematics. While highlighting the key differences in the taxonomy of cultured and not-yet-cultured bacteria and archaea, it presents the genomic technology involved in microbial systematics that serves as comprehensive guidelines for isolating and identifying bacteria. Microbial systematics is a fundamentally important discipline area for microbiologists and those seeking to understand Earth’s biodiversity. As bacterial taxonomy is critical in microbial ecology and clinical microbiology works, the correct identification of microbes is crucial. However, the microbial collection existing and described as cultured species so far are either based on the taxonomic pattern that existed during its time of first cultivation. With evolving technology, many microbes were found to be wrongly classified. Therefore, it is essential to keep in contact withthe developing technology and methods for the correct placement of cultured bacteria and their identification. This book is an excellent guideline for adequately identifying, classifying, and describing novel taxa of bacteria and archaea.

Behar Rainer SalfeldDieses Buch zeigt Wege auf, wie jedes Krankenhaus die vermeintliche Quadratur des Kreises lösen kann: zum einen noch bessere medizinische und pflegerische Leistungen zu erbringen, zum andern nachhaltig die Gewinnschwelle zu erreichen. Auch wenn deutsche Krankenhäuser im internationalen Vergleich erstaunlich gut dastehen, so muss sich der gesamte Sektor weiterhin enormen Herausforderungen stellen: Rund die Hälfte der Häuser schreibt rote Zahlen, Wirtschaftlichkeit und finanzielle Basis werden von Jahr zu Jahr schwächer. Die Ideen, Konzepte und Vorschläge der Autoren, um diesen Entwicklungen gegenzusteuern, geben den neuesten Stand der nationalen und internationalen Reformdiskussion wieder. Zugrunde liegen eigene Erfahrungen in der Führung von Krankenhäusern, in Forschung und Lehre sowie in der Beratung von Krankenhäusern und Krankenhausgruppen im In- und Ausland. Für die vorliegende 4. Auflage wurden das Kapitel zu dem Leistungsgeschehen auf den Stationen komplett überarbeitet und ein Kapitel zur Wirtschaftlichkeit und dem Controlling des klinischen Betriebs ergänzt.
Modernes Krankenhausmanagement: Konzepte und Lösungen
by Benjamin I. Behar Rainer Salfeld Kerstin Eisenbeiß Frank LöscherDieses Buch zeigt Wege auf, wie jedes Krankenhaus die vermeintliche Quadratur des Kreises lösen kann: Zum einen noch bessere medizinische und pflegerische Leistungen zu erbringen und zum anderen nachhaltig die Gewinnschwelle zu erreichen. Dies in einem Umfeld, in dem die Bundesländer versuchen, sich zunehmend aus der Investitionsfinanzierung zurückzuziehen, während gleichzeitig die Krankenkassen und -versicherer wieder verstärkt auf Kostensenkungen im Krankenhausbetrieb drängen.Auch wenn sich deutsche Krankenhäuser im internationalen Vergleich erstaunlich gut behaupten, so stellt „Weitermachen wie bisher“ schon längst keine angemessene Antwort auf die vielfältigen Herausforderungen mehr dar. Wer im überaus anspruchsvollen gesundheitspolitischen Umfeld überleben will, muss vielmehr bereit sein, neue Initiativen zu entwickeln und mit dem nötigen langen Atem auch konsequent umzusetzen. Die hier vorgestellten Ideen, Konzepte und Vorschläge geben den neuesten Stand der nationalen und internationalen Reformdiskussion wieder. Zugrunde liegen eigene Erfahrungen der Autoren in der Führung von Krankenhäusern, in Forschung und Lehre sowie in der Beratung von Krankenhäusern und Krankenhausgruppen im In- und Ausland.Die 5. Auflage wurde um zwei neue Kapitel zu den Themen Bekämpfung künftiger Pandemiewellen und Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen ergänzt.

Modernity and Cultural Decline: A Biobehavioral Perspective
by Colin Feltham Matthew Alexandar Sarraf Michael Anthony Woodley of MenieThis book argues that despite the many real advantages that industrial modernity has yielded—including large gains in wealth, longevity, and (possibly) happiness—it has occurred together with the appearance of a variety of serious problems. Chief among these are probable losses in subjective existential purpose and increases in psychopathology. A highly original theory of the ultimate basis of these trends is advanced, which unites prior work in psychometrics and evolutionary science. This theory builds on the social epistasis amplification model to argue that genetic and epigenetic changes in modernizing and modernized populations, stemming from shifts in selective pressures related to industrialization, have lowered human fitness and wellness.
Modernity in Health and Disease Diagnosis: The Account from STEM Women (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Eucharia Oluchi NwaichiThis book gathers contributions highlighting the role of women in science, with a focus on health and disease.Women have contributed in no small way to the wealth of knowledge and discoveries in various aspects of health.The 21st century has been dubbed the "Knowledge Economy" due to a substantial increase in the accessibility of information, leading individuals to become more knowledgeable and well-rounded.Given the fact that irrespective of the field of study, knowledge eventually decays, more women in the 21st century have been at the forefront extending the frontiers of knowledge in the field of STEMM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics Medicine) - engaging in rigorous research and making significant contributions in the field. Letting their voices heard through their well-researched published studies is a significant way of encouraging other upcoming women scientist and bringing advances in disease diagnosis to achieve SDG3.The contributions in this book aim to increase visibility of women in the field of science and to serve as a source of inspiration to everyone.

Modernizing Medicare: Harnessing the Power of Consumer Choice and Market Competition
by Robert Emmet Moffit and Marie FishpawTop policy experts offer Medicare reform solutions for the millions of seniors whose health care depends on America's fastest growing federal entitlement.In Modernizing Medicare, editors Robert Emmet Moffit and Marie Fishpaw bring together a rare combination of leading scholars and policy practitioners to outline a vision for Medicare reform and provide solutions for the millions of seniors whose health care depends on it. Contributors include a former Medicare trustee, a former Medicare administrator, and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. Detailing Medicare's biggest problems, this team of top policy experts offer solutions based on personal freedom of choice, transparency of price and performance, and market competition among health plans and providers that will secure patients more affordable, more accountable, and higher quality medical care. They also address Medicare's reform needs and analyze the promising performance of the Medicare Advantage program. The authors outline Medicare's major financial problems and the best solutions for Medicare patients and taxpayers alike. While Medicare's accelerating spending is generating higher deficits and debt, standard cost-control strategies—such as payment reductions and price controls—jeopardize patients' access to high-quality care.

Modified Cyclodextrins for Chiral Separation
by Dongping Sun Siu-Choon Ng Weihua TangModified Cyclodextrins for Chiral Separation offers a review of the latest advances in developing modified cyclodextrins as chiral selectors for various chromatographic and electromigration techniques. Over the years, many descriptions of chiral separation have appeared in academic journals and books, but most of them have been devoted to either the development of analytical methods and protocols or the summary of different chiral selectors, including cyclodextrins for chiral separation applications. This is in marked contrast to this volume which focuses on the research endeavors concerning the development of cyclodextrin derivatives specifically as either chiral mobile phases for capillary electrophoresis, or chiral stationary phases for various chromatographic techniques including gas chromatography, or high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. The ongoing thread in this book is the synthesis of structurally-defined cyclodextrin derivatives and their applications in enantiomer separation by means of different analytical techniques. Modified Cyclodextrins for Chiral Separation is intended for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge of cyclodextrin chemistry and chiral separation, and in what cyclodextrin modification can be made to suit the needs of chiral selectors for different analytical techniques. It primarily focuses on the state-of-the-art cyclodextrin chemistry which is the basis for all chiral selectors used in these chiral separation techniques.

Modified Inferior Turbinoplasty
by Paolo GottarelliHumans can resist 40 days without eating and 4 days without drinking, but only 4 minutes without breathing: this tells us much about its fundamental importance. Breathed air is slowed down, filtered, warmed and humidified by the nose; many mechanisms are involved in this act, which prevent bronchial tubes and pulmonary alveolus from receiving an excessive and sudden air load. It is well known, on the other hand, that breathing through the mouth causes a lot of problems: inflammatory diseases of the upper airways, sleep apnea syndrome, but also, in some cases, bronchial, pulmonary and even cardiac disorders, that are more easily affecting patients not able to breathe correctly through the nose. For this reason, restoring an efficient nasal function is a very important - and in some cases crucial - issue. This book describes in details an innovative surgical technique called modified inferior turbinoplasty, which offers an excellent solution to the problems associated with the lower turbinate hypertrophy. A turbinate (or nasal concha) is a long, narrow, curled bone shelf that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose. Most surgical interventions treat only the soft parts of hypertrophic turbinates using laser therapy, radiofrequency treatment, and electrocoagulation, but these procedures often lead to relapse. With this technique, in contrast, all anatomic parts of the turbinate are treated, including bone tissue: the surgeon reduces the inferior nasal concha and the internal nasal tissue, and the mucosa is then remodeled with sutures. The modified inferior turbinoplasty allows the complete avoidance of swabs in the nose, which is fundamental for patients well-being and grant them a quicker recovery. The book will be very useful for othorinolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, endoscopic and maxillofacial surgeons.
