In anaesthetist Dr Kevin Fong s television programmes he has often demonstrated the impact of extremes on the human body by using his own body as a guinea pig So Dr Fong is well placed to share his experience of the sheer audacity of medical practice at extreme physiological limits where human life is balanced on a knife edge Through gripping accounts of extraordinary events and pioneering medicine Dr Fong explores how our body responds when tested by the extremes of heat and cold vacuum and altitude age and disease He shows how science technology and medicine have taken what was once lethal in the world and made it survivable This is not only a book about medicine but also about exploration in its broadest sense and about how by probing the very limits of our biology we may ultimately return with a better appreciation of how our bodies work of what life is and what it means to be human

Practical Implementation Science is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate health professional students who want to master the steps of using implementation science to improve public health. Engaging and accessible, this textbook demonstrates how to implement evidence-based practices effectively through the use of relevant theories, frameworks, models, tools, and research findings. Additional real-world case studies across public health, global health, and health policy provide essential context to the major issues facing implementation domestically and globally with consideration of communities in low-to-middle-income countries. The textbook is organized around the steps involved in planning, executing, and evaluating implementation efforts to improve health outcomes in communities. Coverage spans assessing the knowledge-practice gap; selecting an evidence-based practice (EBP) to reduce the gap; assessing EBP fit and adapting the EBP; assessing barriers and facilitators of implementation; engaging stakeholders; creating an implementation structure; implementing the EBP; and evaluating the EBP effort. Each chapter includes a "how to" approach to conducting the task at hand. The text also addresses the practical importance of implementation science through disseminating, scaling up, and sustaining EBPs and de-implementing practices that are no longer effective. All chapters include learning objectives and summaries with emphasized Key Points for Practice, Common Pitfalls in Practice, and discussion questions to direct learning and classroom discussion. Fit for students of public health, health policy, nursing, medicine, mental health, behavioral health, allied health, and social work, Practical Implementation Science seeks to bridge the gap from scientific evidence to effective practice.

Prólogo de José Luis Graña Gómez. El lector tiene en sus manos un texto con el que se pretende proporcionar una serie de alternativas terapéuticas para la intervención con drogo-dependientes que presentan un trastorno de personalidad. Para ello, se hace una aproximacion al problema de la patologia dual como fenomeno que interfiere de un modo determinante en la evolucion del tratamiento de la adiccion. Igualmente, se profundiza en la conceptualizacion del trastorno de personalidad segun el DSM-IV-TR para que el lector conozca los trastornos del Eje II y pueda identificar las peculiaridades clinicas que los diferencia de otros. Se describen las caracteristicas del drogodependiente con trastorno de personalidad con el objeto de diferenciarlo de otros drogodependientes sin esta psicopatologia. Asimismo, se muestran estrategias de intervencion de corte cognitivo-conductual para el tratamiento de este tipo de personas, atendiendo a su vez los aspectos mas relevantes para la intervencion con los familiares de estas.

Sherwin B. Nuland, profesor y médico cirujano en los Estados Unidos, sorprendió al mundo hace unos años con un libro fascinante que enseguida se convirtió en un best-seller: Cómo morimos (Alianza Editorial, 1995). Era una documentada reflexion sobre la muerte: el ser humano enfrentado al ultimo capitulo de la vida. Uno de los grandes tabues de la sociedad contemporanea, ante el que no siempre sabemos situarnos, aparecia por primera vez desmenuzado y tratado en todos sus detalles y desde muy diversas perspectivas por un autor que, a sus conocimientos cientificos, une sobre todo un profundo compromiso con la condicion humana. Este nuevo libro de Nuland nace en cierto modo como consecuencia del anterior. En Como morimos el autor nos situaba en la antesala de la muerte. Se trataba, en definitiva, de aprender a morir. De lo que se trata ahora es precisamente de lo contrario, de enfrentarse a la vida, al secreto de esa maquina prodigiosa, compleja, deslumbrante y unica que es el ser humano: su espiritu y su naturaleza fisica. La sabiduria del cuerpo es un viaje por nosotros mismos. ¿Como funciona este mecanismo maravilloso en el que habitamos? ¿Cual es su equilibrio, su asombrosa armonia interior? ¿Como mantenerla, estimularla, vivirla adecuadamente? Nuestros cuerpos tienen la sencilla y al mismo tiempo milagrosa funcion de mantener la vida. El desorden de la quimica, el aparente caos de los tejidos, la fragil estabilidad de las celulas son capitulos o porciones de un universo grandioso que nos sostiene y se sostiene a si mismo. El verdadero secreto de la supervivencia de nuestra especie consiste precisamente en haber trascendido la mera supervivencia, en haber hecho uso de la biologia para andar el largo camino del mono al ser humano. Ese viaje es la historia central de La sabiduria del cuerpo.
