Book Synopsis The Heart Healers by : James Forrester
Download or read book The Heart Healers written by James Forrester and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time, heart disease was a death sentence. In The Heart Healers, world renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. James Forrester tells the story of the mavericks and rebels who defied the accumulated medical wisdom of the day to begin conquering heart disease. By the middle of the 20th century, heart disease was killing millions and, as with the Black Death centuries before, physicians stood helpless. Visionaries, though, had begun to make strides earlier. On Sept. 7, 1895, Ludwig Rehn successfully sutured the heart of a living man with a knife wound to the chest for the first time. Once it was deemed possible to perform surgery on the heart, others followed. In 1929, Dr. Werner Forssman inserted a cardiac catheter in his own arm and forced the x-ray technician on duty to take a photo as he successfully threaded it down the vein into his own heart...and lived. On June 6, 1944 - D-Day - another momentous event occurred far from the Normandy beaches: Dr. Dwight Harken sutured the shrapnel-injured heart of a young soldier, saved his life and the term "cardiac surgeon" born. Dr. Forrester tells the story of these rebels and the risks they took with their own lives and the lives of others to heal the most elemental of human organs - the heart. The result is a compelling chronicle of a disease and its cure, a disease that is still with us, but one that is slowly being worn away by "The Heart Healers".

Book excerpt: Jody Hedlund Brings History to Life Like Few Others In 1763 Massachusetts, Susanna Smith has grown up with everything she's ever wanted, except one thing: an education. Because she's a female, higher learning has been closed to her, but her quick mind and quicker tongue never back down from a challenge. She's determined to put her status to good use, reaching out to the poor and deprived. And she knows when she marries well, she will be able to continue her work with the less fortunate. Ben Ross grew up a farmer's son and has nothing to his name but his Harvard education. A poor country lawyer, he doesn't see how he'll be able to fulfill his promise to make his father proud of him. When family friends introduce him to the Smith family, he's drawn to quick-witted Susanna but knows her family expects her to marry well. When Susanna's decision to help an innocent woman no matter the cost crosses with Ben's growing disillusionment with their British rulers, the two find themselves bound together in what quickly becomes a very dangerous fight for justice.

Many of the exhibitions displayed untold treasures some of which are described in this booklet. And, some of which still exist on the Norfolk Navel Base today. The "Fair" grounds were designed to give free access too strolling. The area was surrounded by a fence with climbing flowers to enhance the area with a pleasant garden atmosphere. Rough, but well worn paths lead over the grounds from one exhibit to another; across rough bridges and throughout wooded areas. A few of the pictures show the Hampton Roads Harbor. In 1907, the pictures show Norfolk not to be solidly developed. However, forty years before, during the great Civil War the Merrimac and the Monitor's battles in those waters had drawn great attention to the area. The scenes from those two ships are incorporated in this history; reviewing our nations great naval development. Theodore Roosevelt was President during this period of time. He showed by his actions, his enthusiasm for this unusual event.

Book Synopsis Real-time 3D Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease by : Shuping Ge
Download or read book Real-time 3D Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease written by Shuping Ge and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is intended for the first teaching text in this field. It will describe the new concepts, methodology, and application of real-time 3 dimensional echocardiography for congenital heart diseases. It will concentrate on a step-wised approach for each and every major CHD Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in young infants. This monograph will be the first text to focus on a relatively new technology, i.e. real time 3- dimensional echocardiography, and its history, technology, approaches, normal study, and clinical application in a variety of congenital heart diseases from fetuses to adults. This technology first became available around the turn of this century. In the last few years, this field has seen rapid progress in technological advancement and expanding current and potential clinical applications. This technology is particularly suited for congenital heart disease in which there is a clear need for more clear and accurate delineation of the congenital heart defects from a 3- dimensional perspective for diagnosis, assessment, and prognosis of these defects. Although there are two monographs for real-time 3D echocardiography adults with heart diseases (Shiota, and Nanda), mostly coronary heart disease, valve heart disease, etc, there is no published monograph related to real-time 3D echocardiography in children with congenital heart disease. This project will fill a gap for potentially a diverse audience including pediatric cardiologists, congenial heart surgeons, anesthesiologists, high risk Ob/Gyn specialists, neonatologists, adult congenital disease specialists, pediatric residents, fellows, nurses, physician assistants, and other health care professionals.
Book Synopsis Hearts Torn Asunder by : Ernest A. Dollar
Download or read book Hearts Torn Asunder written by Ernest A. Dollar and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This study goes beyond the military aspects to examine the psychological and emotional impacts on the participants, both military and civilian.” —Charles R. Knight, author of From Arlington to Appomattox One day after General Robert E. Lee’s surrender on April 9, 1865, more than 120,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were still in the field bringing war with them as they moved across North Carolina’s verdant heartland. Thousands of paroled Rebels, desperate, distraught, and destitute, added to the chaos by streaming into the state from Virginia. Grief-stricken civilians, struggling to survive in a collapsing world, were caught in the middle. The collision of these groups formed a perfect storm long ignored by those wielding pens. Hearts Torn Asunder explores the psychological experience of these soldiers and civilians during the chaotic closing weeks of the war. Their letters, diaries, and accounts reveal just how deeply the killing, suffering, and loss had hurt and impacted these people by the spring of 1865. Dollar deftly recounts the experiences of men, women, and children who endured intense emotional, physical, and moral stress during the war’s dramatic climax. Their emotional, irrational, and often uncontrollable reactions mirror symptoms associated with trauma victims today, all of which combined to shape memory of the war’s end. Once the armies left North Carolina after the surrender, their stories faded with each passing year. Neither side looked back and believed there was much that was honorable to celebrate. Hearts Torn Asunder recounts at a very personal level what happened during those closing days that made a memory so painful that few wanted to celebrate, but none could forget.

Book excerpt: The follow-up book to the popular original "Pieces of the Heart", exploring more emotions, and inspiring another group of readers... Emotions. Life. The saying goes that the eyes are the windows to your soul. Given that to be true, then I submit that life's experiences are the lifeline to the heart. For every experience, there is a new piece added to the heart. With each new experience, comes an emotion. Many come with emotions. Many emotions are new, many are somewhat the same,yet independent of themselves. Each also carries varying degrees at which each emotion is felt...each experience a piece, of varying size, of the heart. And it's the culmination of those experiences that make up our heart. Which emotions do we feel strongest? Which emotions seem to control us? Which emotions make us weak. We all experience differently, create differently, and envision differently. We all have varying degrees of emotions, through our experiences and through our creativity and visions. This collection of experiences will take the reader into a past of memories, triggering thoughts and maybe a smile or two. This collection may take the reader into a present thought process, triggering experiences that readers may be encountering now. Finally, this collection will take the reader deep into thought about their visions of the future. This is a feel good collection of poems that will set the reader at ease, yet will delve into some deep emotions. Enjoy!
