Summary
Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the applications and their validation (how reliable are the results?), and the clinical evaluation of the applications (are the techniques useful?). It discusses visualization techniques from research literature as well as the compromises required to solve practical clinical problems. The book covers image acquisition, image analysis, and interaction techniques designed to explore and analyze the data. The final chapter shows how visualization is used for planning liver surgery, one of the most demanding surgical disciplines. The book is based on several years of the authors' teaching and research experience. Both authors have initiated and lead a variety of interdisciplinary projects involving computer scientists and medical doctors, primarily radiologists and surgeons. * A core field of visualization and graphics missing a dedicated book until now * Written by pioneers in the field and illustrated in full color * Covers theory as well as practice.

Summary
Following on from the very popular first book 'Nurse Facilitated Hospital Discharge' 'In these challenging economic times, with change and cost saving being predominant features in the NHS, I offer you, the reader, a thought: "The faster the speed at which you travel, the further ahead you need to look", to adapt current practice, and align it to future needs, to deliver value for money.' Liz Lees Timely Discharge From Hospital is aimed at practitioners working in acute, community, intermediate and ambulatory care settings; all areas of practice are featured. Each section is arranged in themes but written to stand alone, allowing the reader to dip in and out. The book is further enhanced by a comprehensive selection of case studies. Part 1: Fundamental perspectives of practice - there are 3 leading chapters which set the scene for the discharge of patients from hospital. Part 2: The UK perspective - there are 4 chapters which demonstrate policy, practice and progress regarding discharge planning in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Part 3: Education and training - there are 3 chapters which interface theory with practice providing a sense of direction in education to lead and support practitioners wishing to develop mechanisms for training. Part 4: Multi professional considerations of patient discharge in practice - there are 7 chapters which explore the contribution of different professionals to timely discharge practice. The Nursing coordination & complex discharge issues, Pharmacy, PALs, Medicine, Occupational Therapy and Bed management are all featured. Part 5: Case examples in practice - There are 14 pragmatic cases which illuminate practice points from a clinical perspective.

Summary
Annotation Representatives of industry, government, caregivers, and consumers join scholars and policy analysts in comparing market forces to regulation as potential means for righting what is wrong with managed care. The contributors that John E. Billi and Gail B. Agrawal have gathered here quickly move the healthcare debate beyond the classroom, think tank, and statehouse to the boardroom and examining room. Some argue strongly that the solution is to be found in the democratic process and government intervention, while others maintain that only market forces in a competitive environment can respond quickly to the needs of consumers and purchasers alike. The contributors' diverse opinions about the oversight of managed care reflect an enduring divide, one that will affect how society ultimately resolves questions about the inevitable tradeoffs among health-care quality, cost, and access in an environment of limited resources. The Challenge of Regulating Managed Carewill appeal to policymakers, those in the medical field, and all readers interested in the American experience with managed care. John E. Billi is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Medical Education; Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, University of Michigan Medical School; and Associate Vice President for Medical Affairs, University of Michigan. Gail B. Agrawal is Associate Professor of Law, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
