Simulation as an Improvement Technique (Elements of Improving Quality and Safety in Healthcare)
by Victoria Brazil Eve Purdy Komal BajajHistorically simulation was used as an education and training technique in healthcare, but now has an emerging role in improving quality and safety. Simulation-based techniques can be applied to help understand healthcare settings and the practices and behaviours of those who work in them. Simulation-based interventions can help to improve care and outcomes – for example, by improving readiness of teams to respond effectively to situations or to improve skill and speed. Simulation can also help test planned interventions and infrastructural changes, allowing possible vulnerabilities and risks to be identified and addressed. Challenges include cost, resources, training, and evaluation, and the lack of connection between the simulation and improvement fields, both in practice and in scholarship. The business case for simulation as an improvement technique remains to be established. This Element concludes by offering a way forward for simulation in practice and for future scholarly directions to improve the approach. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Simulation in Cardiovascular Critical Care Medicine: Integration of Pathophysiology, Monitoring, and Therapy
by Ronald A. Bronicki Sebastian C. Tume Daniel Burkhoff Daniel J. PennyThis book uses a validated cardiovascular simulator to illustrate cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, principles of hemodynamic monitoring, and the impact of therapy in patients with a wide spectrum of critical care diseases. The simulator considers the closed-loop nature of the cardiovascular system and is thus ideally suited for demonstrating the complex and dynamic nature of the cardiovascular system. The book uses the Harvi cardiovascular simulator (Harvi Dynamics, Inc) in which heart chambers are modeled according to the time-varying elastance principles of Suga and Sunagawa, and Guyton’s model of the vasculature, which describes systemic and pulmonary vascular properties by a series of resistances and capacitances. The simulator generates ventricular pressure-volume loops from each of the four chambers, time-dependent tracings of pressure, flow and volumes, and the hemodynamic parameters derived from these signals. The principles of the time varying elastance model are reviewed and then applied to a spectrum of cardiovascular lesions, including acute and chronic systolic heart failure, sepsis phenotypes, pulmonary hypertension, valvular disease, and the impact of therapies such as vasoactive agents and acute and chronic mechanical circulatory support devices. Simulation in Cardiovascular Critical Care Medicine is a valuable resource for all levels of learners in the fields of Cardiology, Critical Care Medicine, and Cardiac Critical Care Medicine.
Simulation in Healthcare Education: An Extensive History
by Harry OwenSimulation in healthcare education has a long history, yet in many ways, we have been reinventing the wheel during the last 25 years. Historically, simulators have been much more than simple models, and we can still learn from aspects of simulation used hundreds of years ago. This book gives a narrative history of the development of simulators from the early 1700s to the middle of the 20th century when simulation in healthcare appeared to all but die out. It is organized around the development of simulation in different countries and includes at the end a guide to simulators in museums and private collections throughout the world. The aim is to increase understanding of simulation in the professional education of healthcare providers by exploring the historical context of simulators that were developed in the past, what they looked like, how they were used, and examples of simulator use that led to significant harm and an erosion of standards. The book is addressed to the healthcare simulation community and historians of medicine. The latter in particular will appreciate the identification and use of historic sources written in Latin, German, Italian, French, Polish and Spanish as well as English.

Simultaneous Global New Drug Development: Multi-Regional Clinical Trials after ICH E17 (Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series)
by Gang LiGlobal simultaneous development is becoming more necessary as the cost of developing medical products continues to grow. The strategy of using multiregional clinical trials (MRCTs) has become the preferred method for developing new medicines. Implementing the same protocol to include subjects from many geographical regions around the world, MRCTs can speed up the patient enrolment, thus resulting in quicker drug development and obtaining faster approval of the drug globally. After the publication of the editors’ first volume on this topic, there have been new developments on MRCTs. The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) issued ICH E17, a guideline document on MRCTs, in November 2017, laying out principles on MRCTs. Beyond E17, new methodologies have been developed as well. Simultaneous Global New Drug Development: Multi-Regional Clinical Trials after ICH E17 collects chapters providing interpretations of principles in ICH E17 and new ideas of implementing MRCTs. Authors are from different regions, and from academia and industry. In addition, in contrast to the first book, new perspectives are brought to MRCT from regulatory agencies. This book will be of particular interest to biostatisticians working in late stage clinical development of medical products. It will also be especially helpful for statisticians in regulatory agencies, and medical research institutes. This book is comprehensive across the MRCT topic spectrum, including Issues regarding ICH E17 Implementation MRCT Design and Analysis Methodologies Perspectives from authorities in regulatory agencies, as well as statisticians practicing in the medical product industry Many examples of real-life applications based on actual MRCTs.
Simultaneous Systems of Differential Equations and Multi-Dimensional Vibrations (Mathematics and Physics for Science and Technology)
by Luis Manuel Braga da Costa CamposSimultaneous Differential Equations and Multi-Dimensional Vibrations is the fourth book within Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Trajectories and Vibrations, Six-volume Set. As a set, they are the fourth volume in the series Mathematics and Physics Applied to Science and Technology. This fourth book consists of two chapters (chapters 7 and 8 of the set). The first chapter concerns simultaneous systems of ordinary differential equations and focuses mostly on the cases that have a matrix of characteristic polynomials, namely linear systems with constant or homogeneous power coefficients. The method of the matrix of characteristic polynomials also applies to simultaneous systems of linear finite difference equations with constant coefficients. The second chapter considers linear multi-dimensional oscillators with any number of degrees of freedom including damping, forcing, and multiple resonance. The discrete oscillators may be extended from a finite number of degrees-of-freedom to infinite chains. The continuous oscillators correspond to waves in homogeneous or inhomogeneous media, including elastic, acoustic, electromagnetic, and water surface waves. The combination of propagation and dissipation leads to the equations of mathematical physics. Presents simultaneous systems of ordinary differential equations and their elimination for a single ordinary differential equation Includes cases with a matrix of characteristic polynomials, including simultaneous systems of linear differential and finite difference equations with constant coefficients Covers multi-dimensional oscillators with damping and forcing, including modal decomposition, natural frequencies and coordinates, and multiple resonance Discusses waves in inhomogeneous media, such as elastic, electromagnetic, acoustic, and water waves Includes solutions of partial differential equations of mathematical physics by separation of variables leading to ordinary differential equations
Sin aliento: La carrera científica para derrotar a un virus mortal
by David QuammenLa apasionante crónica de la carrera contrarreloj para descifrar el SARS-CoV-2 y frenar una pandemia devastadora. Finalista del National Book Award «Unacrónica iluminadora y apasionada de la crisis que ha definido nuestro tiempo».The New York Times David Quammen, uno de los mejores escritores científicos del mundo y autor de Contagio (Debate, 2020), la obra de referencia sobre enfermedades zoonóticas (las que saltan de animales a humanos), nos sumerge en la frenética carrera por descifrar el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, encontrar su origen y hacer posible el desarrollo de vacunas para combatir la pandemia de COVID-19. Tras entrevistar a casi un centenar de científicos, entre ellos los virólogos más importantes del panorama internacional, Quammen denuncia cómo durante décadas los expertos advirtieron de que esta pandemia llegaría, pero sus consejos fueron ignorados por razones económicas o políticas. Además, también se encarga de descifrar las claves para entender algunas teorías sobre el origen del virus y descartar otras suposiciones más escandalosas pero menos fiables. Este libro nos traslada a la primera línea de batalla contra la COVID-19 a través de los ojos de aquellos científicos que lideraron esta lucha, y lo hace con la prosa comprensible y reveladora de un maestro incomparable como Quammen. La crítica ha dicho:«Relata con apasionante detalle la respuesta científica a la pandemia del Covid-19. Una lectura obligada».Publishers Weekly «Sin aliento es lo más parecido que tenemos a una historia rigurosa de los orígenes del virus hasta las vacunas y variantes, contada a través de los científicos implicados y de la característica prosa ágil de Quammen. Se lee como un thriller a tiempo real».Chicago Tribune«Quizá el verdadero valor de este libro radique en que Quammen aporta la mirada de un naturalista a estos debates. Al final, uno se queda con una profunda apreciación de la diversidad de la naturaleza y la casualidad de la selección natural, que todos los días está barajando y reorganizando los genomas de los virus de maneras que los científicos sólo pueden empezar a imaginar».The GuardianSobre Ébola:«Una aterradora y fascinante obra maestra de divulgación científica que se lee como una historia de suspense.»Walter Isaacson «David Quammen es una estrella deslumbrante de la literatura científica.»Edward O. Wilson Sobre El árbol enmarañado:«Mucho más que un reportaje sobre algunos hechos científicos atractivos; es una auténtica fuente de maravillas».Thomas Levenson, The Boston Globe «Una obra maestra de un nuevo campo de la biología molecular [...] un relato impresionante sobre quizás la revolución científica más desconocida del siglo XX.»Kirkus Reviews Sobre Contagio:«El libro que me ayudó a entender la dinámica de lo que estaba pasando.»Paolo Giordano«Deslumbrante Quammen: desvela lo que nos hace vivir y lo que nos mata con pasión, humor y conocimiento.»Daniel Arjona, El confidencial

Sine Syndromes in Rheumatology
by Jozef Rovenský Manfred Herold Martina VašákováSine syndromes (SSs) represent atypical forms of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, the courses of which are often severe. While the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases can be determined according to an established set of diagnostic criteria based on clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters, Sine Syndromes do not fulfill the standard criteria used to assist in the classification of patients with rheumatological disorders. This concise book gives an overview of atypical courses in common inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, or systemic lupus erythematosus. Each chapter reviews similar cases reported in the literature and presents current data on treatment options. Drawing on their vast clinical experience, the editors provide a series of detailed case reports in order to illustrate the different types of disease. The book is intended to facilitate early diagnosis and effective therapy in patients where a schematic approach may not prove sufficient. Sine Syndromes in Rheumatology will serve as a useful and easily accessible reference for specialists in rheumatology as well as for practitioners in the fields of internal medicine, pediatrics, and orthopedics.
