Short Guide to Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a rapidly developing area of medicine – diagnostic tools are ever more refined, and entirely new treatments and treatment strategies are arriving, with more on the horizon. And because the virus affects such a large and varying population – up to 170 million at last count – we think it is important to have a pocket reference especially devoted to hepatitis C. We look forward to your comments on the usefulness of our 2014 Short Guide to Hepatitis C, which is an expansion and update of the HCV chapters in Hepatology – A Clinical Textbook (2014), also published by Flying Publisher. As always, we invite qualified people everywhere to translate this book into other languages, and make them available widely. This web-based free-of- harge concept is made possible by unrestricted educational grants from the pharmaceutical industry and has allowed the material to reach countries usually not covered by print media. We are convinced that this new pocket guide concept, focusing here on hepatitis C, will become a valuable source of information for our readers.

Critical Care in in Neurology

Neurocritical care is an ever-changing field. The publishers and author of The Flying Publisher Guide to Critical Care in Neurology have made every effort to provide information that is accurate and complete as of the date of publication. However, in view of the rapid changes occurring in medical science, as well as the possibility of human error, this site may contain technical inaccuracies, typographical or other errors. It is the responsibility of the reading physician who must rely on experience and knowledge about the patient to determine the best treatment and care pathway. The information contained herein is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. The contributors to this book, including Flying Publisher & Kamps, disclaim responsibility for any errors or omissions or for results obtained from the use of information contained herein.

Free Medical Information Doctor = Publisher

Today, doctors can be publishers – computer technology and the internet make it possible, and book projects are tempting in terms of money. A doctor who publishes his own textbooks can earn many times what he would be paid in royalties by a publishing house. More important than this, however, is the fact that a doctor who writes and publishes wants his texts to be read by as many colleagues, students and patients as possible. The best way to achieve this is through free parallel publication of these texts on the internet

Ultrasound Blocks for the Anterior Abdominal Wall - Adult and Pediatric Surgery

Somatic post-surgical pain is invalidating and distressing to patients and carries the risk of important complications. The anterior abdominal wall is involved in most surgical procedures in general, gynecologic, obstetric, urological, vascular and pediatric surgery. Combined multimodal strategies involving nerve blocks, opiates, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for systemic analgesia are necessary for optimal pain modulation. Anterior abdominal wall blocks, transverse abdominal plexus block, iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerveblock, genitofemoral nerve block and rectus sheath block have an important role as components of multimodal analgesia for somatic intraoperative and postoperative pain control. Ultrasound visualization has improved the efficacy and safety of abdominal blocks and implemented the application in the clinical setting. For this reason, they are a very important tool for all anesthesiologists who aim to treat effectively patients’ pain. This guide provides an evidence based comprehensive and necessary overview of anatomical, anesthesiological and technical information needed to safely perform these blocks.

Issues of information support for the process of scientific enterprise's management in the universities and research organizations

This article describes the problem of commercializing of scientific researches in universities. Management tasks are reduced to subtasks and combined formal algorithm. The overall control problem is reduced to a set of formal subtasks combined into a single algorithm. Here the necessity of joint control of all commercialization projects as well as the use of information systems for the successful implementation of the existing commercialpotential is shown.

Tarnkappe Information – Arzneimittelwerbung im Internet : Eine Analyse der Webseiten gebaermutterhalskrebs.com und tell-someone.de

Die Untersuchung der beiden Webseiten verfolgte das Ziel, festzustellen, ob und inwieweit die beiden Hersteller GlaxoSmithKline und Sanofi Pasteur MSD Marketingstrategien auf ihren Informationsseiten anwenden. Es zeigte sich in beiden Fällen, dass dies in großem Maße stattfindet. Durch Gestaltung und Inhalt sind Rückschlüsse auf den jeweiligen Impfstoff möglich. Dadurch wird deutlich, dass die Seiten keine reine Informationsabsicht verfolgen. Zusammenfassend bleibt festzustellen,dass die Hersteller die ihnen eingeräumten Freiheiten zur Information auch zu Marketingzwecken missbrauchen.Der zugrundeliegende Schutzzweck des Heilmittelwerbegesetzes (HWG) wird hiermit konterkariert.

Regarding Information Systems Dependability Analysis

The article presents classification of information systems by different parameters. Factors influencing information systems dependability are also presented. The article describes the strategy of information systems dependability analysis and methods of its increase. The example of analysis of real information system is considered to show how to implement the strategy.
