Los países en Latinoamérica siguieron diversos caminos en su desarrollo, dadas sus diferencias culturales, económicas y políticas, pero evidentemente, todos han marcado un avance extraordinario en los servicios prehospitalarios brindados al público. Este libro y sus autores reconocen el esfuerzo y sacrificio personal de aquellos que soñaron y cambiaron la realidad en sus países respectivos. La tecnología tiene un rol importante en el desarrollo de los servicios, pero es el cambio en el concepto de un servicio cuya única función es trasladar pacientes del sitio de suceso al hospital (con muy poca atención médica, si alguna es brindada), a un servicio de atención prehospitalaria, en el que están altamente involucrados con los servicios de rescate. Latinoamérica tiene diversos conceptos de atención, con personal variable tripulando las ambulancias, además de técnicos en urgencias médicas, enfermeros, cinesiólogos y médicos. Una de las preguntas interesantes es la relación entre la realidad local, la tripulación de las ambulancias y los conceptos de atención. Este es un libro monumental, que por primera vez, da un enfoque panorámico de la situación en los países hermanos de Latinoamérica. Este no es solamente un experimento académico importante, sino un documento con implicaciones significativas para servicios que están en la fase de desarrollo adicional. Este intercambio de ideas, conceptos y problemas superados crean una base imprescindible de conocimiento.

Mindshift reveals how we can overcome stereotypes and preconceived ideas about what is possible for us to learn and become. At a time when we are constantly being asked to retrain and reinvent ourselves to adapt to new technologies and changing industries, this book shows us how we can uncover and develop talents we didn’t realize we had—no matter what our age or background. We’re often told to “follow our passions.” But in Mindshift, Dr. Barbara Oakley shows us how we can broaden our passions. Drawing on the latest neuroscientific insights, Dr. Oakley shepherds us past simplistic ideas of “aptitude” and “ability,” which provide only a snapshot of who we are now—with little consideration about how we can change. Even seemingly “bad” traits, such as a poor memory, come with hidden advantages—like increased creativity. Profiling people from around the world who have overcome learning limitations of all kinds, Dr. Oakley shows us how we can turn perceived weaknesses, such as impostor syndrome and advancing age, into strengths. People may feel like they’re at a disadvantage if they pursue a new field later in life; yet those who change careers can be fertile cross-pollinators: They bring valuable insights from one discipline to another. Dr. Oakley teaches us strategies for learning that are backed by neuroscience so that we can realize the joy and benefits of a learning lifestyle. Mindshift takes us deep inside the world of how people change and grow. Our biggest stumbling blocks can be our own preconceptions, but with the right mental insights, we can tap into hidden potential and create new opportunities.

This book has become necessary as a consequence of the rapid expansion of the surgical procedures and implants available for spinal surgery within the "AO Group". We have not attempted to write an in-depth book on spinal surgery, but one which will help the surgeon in the use of AO concepts and implants. We con sider the practical courses held all over the world essential for the teaching of sound techniques so that technical complications and poor results can be avoid ed for both the surgeon and, in particular the patient. This book is a practical manual and an outline of what is taught in the courses. It is intended to help the young spinal surgeon to understand the correct use of AO implants. The indi- tions given will aid the correct use of each procedure. . It must be strongly emphasized that surgery of the spine is technically de manding. The techniques described in this book should only be undertaken by surgeons who are trained and experienced in spinal surgery. Certain techniques, in particular pedicle screw fIxation and cages, have not yet been fully approved by the FDA in the United States. However, throughout the rest of the world, the use of pedicle screws has become a standard technique for the spine surgeon, since it has been shown to improve fIxation techniques and allow segmental correction of the spine. The use of cages has become more and more popular, specifIcally as a tool of minimally invasive spinal surgery.
