In the emergency and trauma setting, accurate and consistent interpretation of imaging studies are critical to the care of acutely ill and injured patients. Emergency Radiology: Imaging of Acute Pathologies is a comprehensive review of radiological diagnoses commonly encountered in the emergency room by radiologists, residents, and fellows.  The book is organized by anatomical sections that present the primary ER imaging areas of the acute abdomen, pelvis, thorax, neck, head, brain and spine, and osseous structures.  For each section, the common diagnoses are concisely described and are accompanied by relevant clinical facts and key teaching points that emphasize the importance of radiological interpretation in clinical patient management.  The role of modalities such as plain radiography, CT, ultrasound, MR, and nuclear medicine imaging in managing emergency conditions is highlighted.

This brief covers case studies on Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) and its mitigation. After reviewing the basics of corrosion, it focuses on MIC. MIC is a special type of electrochemical corrosion in which the presence of microbes and bacteria alters the chemistry of liquid media so as to make them more corrosive. These changes are harmful to metallic equipment, processing machinery, marine vessels, etc. in an environment that is host to a wealth of microorganisms. A 2007 US survey estimated corrosion-related damages to cost $276 billion a year, roughly 50% of which are due to MIC. The industries most affected by MIC are power production, oil exploration, transportation and storage, water distribution and more generally all industries involving marine environments. However, means for effectively preventing and controlling MIC are poorly understood. As such, the book’s later chapters address various mechanisms/processes that show promise with regard to MIC mitigation. Lastly, the book discusses the strategies currently being explored to mitigate MIC using green technologies.

Early detection of renal problems coupled with the appropriate therapeutic strategy can radically reduce the progressive nature of, and complications associated with, chronic kidney disease, and in many instances will result in the successful treatment of acute kidney injury. As many patients will not be seen by nephrologists, it is essential that all healthcare professionals, in hospitals and in the community, have an awareness of renal disease - the presenting signs, differential diagnoses, treatment strategies and approach to the management of complications. 'Fast Facts: Renal Disorders' is an easy-to-read, evidence-based guide to renal diseases and disorders for all doctors, nurses and medical students. It includes: • A clear explanation of proteinuria, hematuria, electrolyte imbalances and acid-base disorders • A concise summary of kidney function tests, imaging techniques and biopsy • Important questions for prompt diagnosis of acute kidney injury • Management options for chronic kidney disease and its complications • Practical guidance on the most common renal problems, including glomerulonephritis, systemic disease, UTIs and kidney stones Written by three specialists of international repute, 'Fast Facts: Renal Disorders' provides the key information required for the optimal care of renal patients. This fully updated second edition will help healthcare professionals assess, identify, treat and refer patients with renal problems appropriately. Directly applicable to the clinical setting, it is essential reading for all primary care providers, junior hospital doctors, specialist trainees, renal nurses and medical students. Contents: • Proteinuria, hematuria and renal investigations • Electrolyte disturbances and acid-base disorders • Acute kidney injury • Chronic kidney disease • Hypertension and diabetic nephropathy • Glomerulonephritis • Systemic disease • Inherited kidney disease • Urinary tract infection • Kidney stones • Urinary tract obstruction and tumors • Renal replacement therapy and transplantation
