Anestesia Clínica es el libro líder y más completo en anestesiología. Cubre todo el espectro de problemas clínicos y soluciones disponibles en la especialidad. Para ello, esta galardonada obra proporciona una visión profunda de la farmacología, la fisiología, las enfermedades coexistentes y los diferentes procedimientos quirúrgicos a los que se enfrentan los pacientes y el personal de anestesiología. Su contenido de vanguardia sin equivalentes en cuanto a claridad y profundidad, junto con el contenido multimedia adicional, aporta los conocimientos esenciales y más novedosos de la especialidad, de modo que médicos residentes y especialistas puedan aplicar de manera eficaz los estándares más recientes de atención y tomar decisiones clínicas con seguridad. Como en sus ediciones predecesoras, la 9.ª edición también está dividida en 10 secciones que cubren todo el espectro de la especialidad: la sección 1 abarca, en cinco capítulos introductorios, la historia de la anestesia, el alcance de la práctica, y riesgos y seguridad. La sección 2 se enfoca en la ciencia básica y los fundamentos de la anestesia, mientras que la 3 aborda los principios fisiológicos de los principales sistemas de órganos. La sección 4 se centra en la farmacología y los diferentes anestésicos. En la sección 5 se desarrollan cuestiones sobre valoración y monitorización preoperatorias. La sección 6 analiza el manejo anestésico básico y, en la 7, se estudian las subespecialidades de la anestesiología. La sección 8 describe la anestesia para diferentes tipos de cirugía, y la sección 9 cubre el manejo posanestésico, del dolor y en cuidados intensivos. La última sección, la 10, incluye siete útiles apéndices.

Fundamentos de anestesia clínica atesora cerca de 30 años de experiencia en la enseñanza de la anestesiología como parte de la serie Anestesia Clínica. Fundada inicialmente por el doctor Paul G. Barash, esta obra presenta, en un formato amigable y de fácil lectura, los fundamentos de ciencias básicas en anestesiología y su aplicación dentro de entornos clínicos específicos. El contenido de esta 2.ª edición sigue organizado en cuatro secciones. La primera es una introducción al ejercicio de la especialidad; en la segunda parte se abordan los fundamentos de anatomía, fisiología, farmacología y tecnología que influyen en la anestesia; los capítulos que abarcan la tercera sección cubren los aspectos clínicos de la anestesia, como evaluación preoperatoria, anestesia en padecimientos específicos, manejo del dolor y tratamiento postoperatorio, entre otros temas; la última sección incluye apéndices, protocolos, guías, y elementos de uso y referencia frecuentes. En una era de constante cambio, esta obra responde a los tres principales desafíos de la educación médica: estar informado con respecto a los últimos avances y descubrimientos biomédicos y biopsicosociales, hacer uso de esa información de manera rentable y en beneficio del paciente, y transmitir el conocimiento por medio de métodos de enseñanza atractivos para las nuevas generaciones que incluyan el uso de herramientas digitales y que faciliten el dominio del conocimiento.

Periodic differential equations appear in many contexts such as in the theory of nonlinear oscillators, in celestial mechanics, or in population dynamics with seasonal effects. The most traditional approach to study these equations is based on the introduction of small parameters, but the search of nonlocal results leads to the application of several topological tools. Examples are fixed point theorems, degree theory, or bifurcation theory. These well-known methods are valid for equations of arbitrary dimension and they are mainly employed to prove the existence of periodic solutions. Following the approach initiated by Massera, this book presents some more delicate techniques whose validity is restricted to two dimensions. These typically produce additional dynamical information such as the instability of periodic solutions, the convergence of all solutions to periodic solutions, or connections between the number of harmonic and subharmonic solutions. The qualitative study of periodic planar equations leads naturally to a class of discrete dynamical systems generated by homeomorphisms or embeddings of the plane. To study these maps, Brouwer introduced the notion of a translation arc, somehow mimicking the notion of an orbit in continuous dynamical systems. The study of the properties of these translation arcs is full of intuition and often leads to "non-rigorous proofs". In the book, complete proofs following ideas developed by Brown are presented and the final conclusion is the Arc Translation Lemma, a counterpart of the Poincaré–Bendixson theorem for discrete dynamical systems. Applications to differential equations and discussions on the topology of the plane are the two themes that alternate throughout the five chapters of the book.

'Islam in Europe' and 'Islamophobia' are subjects of vital global importance which currently preoccupy policy-makers and academics alike. Through the examination of various European Muslim groups and institutions that have branched off from Islamic movements - including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir and Jama'at-i Islami - this book outlines the configuration of social, political and religious processes that have given rise to new kinds of European Muslim organisations. The authors offer a new perspective on these Muslim groups and seek to reclaim them from the often highly-charged public debates by placing them within the context of their origins as politicised religious movements on the one hand and their ongoing incorporation into European societal structures on the other. They also consider the relationship of these organisations to their 'parent' movements and examine the presence of Islam in European education and higher education institutions. Taking into account the connection between Islamic movements and the perceived surge of 'Islamophobia' in Europe, this book does not debate the question of whether these groups fit into normative or cultural structures of European nation-states, but rather examines how these structures have changed through their interaction with these groups and the growing Muslim population within Europe. It does not consider political Islam as the antithesis to a refined notion of secularism, but as a form of public religion which contributes to the ever-changing structure of Europe's secular regimes. Featuring the work of more than 40 scholars from around the world, this is the comprehensive guide to Islamic movements in Europe, offering original, definitive perspectives on Muslims and Islam in Europe today. It will be essential reading for policy-makers, political commentators and scholars alike.
