Different artificial tools, such as heart-pacing devices, wearable and implantable monitors, engineered heart valves and stents, and many other cardiac devices, are in use in medical practice. Recent developments in the methods of cardiac pacing along with appropriate selection of equipment are the purpose of this book. Implantable heart rate management devices and wearable cardiac monitors are discussed. Indications for using specific types of cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are of interest and their contraindications are considered. Special attention is paid to using leadless devices. The subcutaneous ICD obviates the need for transvenous leads and leadless pacemakers are entirely implantable into the right ventricle. Finally, applications of user-friendly wearable devices for the detection of atrial arrhythmia are debated.
Chapters in Fast Simulation of Computer Architectures cover topics such as how to collect traces, emulate instruction sets, simulate microprocessors using execution-driven techniques, evaluate memory hierarchies, apply statistical sampling to simulation, and how to augment simulation with performance bound models. The chapters have been written by many of the leading researchers in the area, in a collaboration that ensures that the material is both coherent and cohesive. Audience: Of tremendous interest to practising computer architect designers seeking timely solutions to tough evaluation problems, and to advanced upper division undergraduate and graduate students of the field. Useful study aids are provided by the problems at the end of Chapters 2 through 8.
Pain after surgery is a common complaint. This unpleasant feeling due to tissue damage, mental suffering, and distress must be handled adequately. Postoperative pain is a significant concern for patients, relatives and healthcare providers. It may prolong recovery, increase hospital stays and increase the economic burden. Furthermore, postoperative pain can persist and turn into chronic pain. Identification of reliable pain predictors will enable optimal pain management. Pain management involves methods for managing postoperative pain based on the pathophysiology of pain, the role of inflammatory mediators, and the importance of early and effective pain control. The book aims to provide healthcare professionals with a detailed understanding of how to manage postoperative pain effectively and improve patient outcomes.
