El libro de Emergencias aporta un conocimiento completo de las situaciones de emergencias. Instruye cómo estar preparados para reaccionar de forma ordenada y prevista frente a dichas situaciones, y la secuencia de operaciones para la correcta implantación de un plan de emergencias. También analiza cómo poner en marcha el proceso de evacuación y los medios de protección para minimizar las consecuencias del riesgo. Describe también los riesgos que provocan situaciones de emergencia, tal y como el riesgo de incendio con sus medidas preventivas y de protección. Por último, desarrolla las medidas de primeros auxilios que permiten actuar de forma inmediata en situaciones de emergencia. Por otra parte, estudia qué medidas preventivas se pueden aplicar para eliminar y/o reducir riesgos, y qué medidas de protección colectiva e individual existen para su minimización, todo ello desde el ámbito empresarial y legal. Este libro se ha concebido con la finalidad de cubrir la formación de los alumnos de FP de Grado Superior en Prevención de Riesgos Profesionales, para el crédito formativo correspondiente a este tema. Debido al carácter eminentemente práctico de la obra editada, dichos contenidos formativos se adaptan también a profesionales del mundo empresarial que necesiten formarse en prevención de riesgos laborales a través de la formación continua y estén sometidos en su actividad a riesgos derivados de las propias condiciones de seguridad en el trabajo. La colección se ofrece mediante un libro con múltiples ilustraciones, fotografías y esquemas, que contiene además de los módulos formativos, fichas de actividades y pruebas de evaluación. Como complemento al libro se ofrece un CD-ROM que contiene fichas técnicas interactivas de consulta, la Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales, el Reglamento de los Servicios de Prevención y una conexión vía Internet a la reglamentación asociada que permite una actualización permanente de la misma.

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties.

Associated with both acute kidney injury (AKI) and cardio-renal syndromes (CRS), new biomarkers represent both a popular area of investigation and a new opportunity for advancement of therapy. This book contains the resolutions of the most recent ADQI conferences on biomarkers in AKI (Dublin) and on cardio-renal syndromes (Venice). The first part answers specific questions about new biomarkers and their use and utility in AKI: What are the most suitable candidate molecules and physiologic measures, how solid and evidence based is the discovery phase? How can we incorporate the new biomarkers in the AKI conceptual model describing the evolution from susceptibility to insult, decreased GFR and organ death? Even if we have a positive biomarker pattern and we can identify patients at risk or patients with early or even subclinical AKI, how is this information affecting our clinical behavior and practice? The second part is dedicated to the appraisal of the current knowledge about the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in different forms of CRS: it contains contributions on the state-of-the-art knowledge and practice of CRS, particularly focusing on the pathophysiology of the five subtypes. Acute and chronic mechanisms of damage are explored in depth, with particular attention to the primacy of organ involvement and the subsequent pathways of organ crosstalk.Presenting the most recent research in the field of biomarkers, AKI and CRS, this publication is an important educational tool for advanced investigators and clinical experts, but also for students and fellows.
