Summary The job of the Catering Convention Services Manager (CCSM) is varied and diverse. The success or failure of an event can depend on the ability of the CCSM to juggle the components without dropping the ball. Chapters of this book scratch below the surface and impart authors' in-depth industry knowledge that will lead readers from the truth of what a CCSM does on a daily basis versus what the job description states, what emotional and technical skills are required, what employers look for in hiring CCSMs, how to relate to external and internal planners, and execution of catering and convention contracts. It gives an overview of job positions within hotels and facilities that CCSMs will work with necessary to fulfill the contracted legal requirements, providing thorough communication, detailed food and beverage industry information, banquet service styles, menu planning, trade statistics, BEO standards, how to deliver service expectations, and reveals a variety of indoor and outdoor event space setup standards. Included are suggested best practices of working with nonprofits, social, wedding, association, corporate, VIP, celebrity events, and tradeshows. Most chapters will have website links for more information on specific topics and explanations on how this industry operates within casino properties. The final chapters discuss revenue upsell opportunities for all stakeholders and industry accounting and the paperwork that pulls this fast-paced catering for convention service business all together.

Statin Prescribing Guide.

2024-05-14T20:37:39Z

by Baliga, Ragavendra R.
Call Number 616.3997
Publication Date 2010
Summary The first HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), lovastatin, has been on the market since 1987. In that time, five more drugs from this class, atorvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin, have been approved by the FDA. Statins, among the top ten most commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S., are now recommended as first-line treatments by all major regulatory agencies in the U.S. and elsewhere. As shown in numerous clinical trials, statins are extremely powerful and effective in reducing LDL cholesterol, accompanied by a significant reduction of cardiac events and strokes. As a class, they are well-tolerated by most patients and are easy to administer. However, the withdrawal of cerivastatin (Baycol) from the market in 2001 due to severe myopathy in some patients, has led to increased concern among clinicians with respect to this and other side effects, such as liver and kidney disease. Some studies suggest that this has led to increased reluctance among clinicians to initiate a statin drug regimen or to adjust dosage to increase therapeutic effect. While a small minority of patients do develop serious complications while on statin therapy, current clinical evidence strongly suggests that the benefits of timely statin administration significantly outweigh the risks. Oxford American Pocket Notes: Statin Prescribing Guide aims to provide clinicians with concise, easily accessible guidance on prescribing statins in various clinical settings. This volume features evidence-based discussion on the indications, pharmacokinetics and safety profiles of the available statins and how these properties translate into selection of the appropriate treatment regimen for the individual patient. Useful tools, such as treatment algorithms, charts, tables and illustrations greatly help enhance the value of this volume as a portable reference tool.
