Abstract: This book creatively communicates the human and professional sides of the journey to the first ever near total face transplant, the response to this milestone in the medical community, and the effect it has had on the individuals involved. It focuses on the evolution of Professor Maria Siemionow as a microsurgeon and the processes by which she sensationally overcame the challenges her team encountered including the successful manipulation of the immune system to avoid rejection of the face tissue by the recipient. Face to Face: A Short History of Face Transplantation combines the medical and human elements of the development of face transplant surgery. It is not only targeted at the surgical professional and trainee, but also the general public who wish to read about the journey of how a significant medical advancement was made. It is also great reading to inspire girls of an age where they are thinking about career paths to believe they can do something extraordinary and could persuade some to pursue a career in an STEM subject.

Contents: 1. Inching Ahead -- 2. Anatomy Lessons -- 3. Wanderings -- 4. Of Scalpels and Family -- 5. Becoming a Microsurgeon -- 6. The Face Is Different from the Heart -- 7. Louisville Fellows -- 8. Transplants -- 9. Ethical Considerations -- 10. The Candidate -- 11. The Time Comes -- 12. Ten Years Pass -- Addendum -- Appendix -- Cutlines.

Abstract: Electrocardiography has an ever-expanding role in pediatric cardiology evaluation. The specific competencies required for its optimal use in this setting, however, generally lie beyond the expertise of cardiologists used to dealing with adults. This guide - the product of extensive practical experience in the field of pediatric cardiology - proposes a very simple method for reading neonatal and pediatric ECGs that is based on the application of straightforward criteria and permits the immediate recognition of normal and pathological patterns. The first part of the guide presents and describes this methodology and the parameters of normal pediatric ECGs, while the second part focuses on specific pediatric anomalies. More than 150 ECGs displaying both normal and pathologic findings are included, all of which have been collected from clinical practice and analyzed using the proposed method. This book will be an invaluable reference tool for all cardiologists who deal with newborns and children.

Contents: Normal ECGs -- ECG Reading Method -- Normal Parameters of Pediatric ECGs -- Pathological Scenarios -- Right Ventricular Overload -- Left Ventricular Overload -- Biventricular Overload -- Miscellaneous ECGs -- Miscellaneous ECGs -- Applications for Pediatric ECGs.

Abstract: This book examines all aspects of narrative medicine and its value in ensuring that, in an age of evidence-based medicine defined by clinical trials, numbers, and probabilities, clinical science is firmly embedded in the medical humanities in order to foster the understanding of clinical cases and the delivery of excellent patient care. The medical humanities address what happens to us when we are affected by a disease and narrative medicine is an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes the importance of patient narratives in bridging various divides, including those between health care professionals and patients. The book covers the genesis of the medical humanities and of narrative medicine and explores all aspects of their role in improving healthcare. It describes how narrative medicine is therapeutic for the patient, enhances the patient-doctor relationship, and allows the identification, via patients' stories, of the feelings and experiences that are characteristic for each disease. Furthermore, it explains how to use narrative medicine as a real scientific tool. Narrative Medicine will be of value for all caregivers: physicians, nurses, healthcare managers, psychotherapists, counselors, and social workers. Maria Giulia Marini takes a unique and innovative approach to narrative medicine. She sees it as offering a bridge--indeed a variety of different bridges--between clinical care and "humanitas". With a sensitive use of mythology, literature and metaphor on the one hand, and scientific studies on the other, she shows how the guiding concept of narrative might bring together the fragmented parts of the medical enterprise. John Launer, Honorary Consultant, Tavistock Clinic, London UK.

Contents: 1. Evidence Based Medicine and Narrative Medicine: a harmonic couple -- 2. Bridging from mythology to contemporary care: the art of listening -- 3.

Designing health care based on patient's needs and rights -- 10. Building a bridge between economic investment and medical humanities: the fears to overcome -- 11. A selection of narratives.
