Abstract:

Operational risk is the ‘risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from external events’. Banks are required to control their operational risk exposure. This chapter discusses the three approaches Basel 2 offers to determine operational risk: the basic indicator approach, the standardized approach, and the advanced measurement approach (AMA). The first two mechanisms which Basel provides for calculating operational risk eschew the analysis of operational risks themselves, and operate on a percentage of lead indicator basis. However, the third a

Abstract:

‘Complicated’ urinary tract infection (UTI) indicates infection occurring in anatomically or functionally abnormal urinary tract. Infections are not only more likely in such circumstances, but they are more likely to lead to complications such as acute pyelonephritis, and are frequently more difficult to eradicate, requiring more prolonged antimicrobial therapy. Some causes may be associated with susceptibility to specific micro-organisms. There may occasionally be a limited place for prophylactic therapy.

Abstract:

Wheezing is an important sign for anesthesiologists. At the preoperative consult it usually indicates bronchospasm from poorly controlled asthma, though many other causes are possible. Intraoperative wheezing also has many potential causes, including bronchospasm, airway obstruction, anaphylaxis, or aspiration. Intraoperative wheezing is an anesthetic emergency that can lead to life-threatening respiratory and cardiac complications. Prompt action to maintain oxygenation, removal of any trigger factors, and, if indicated, bronchodilator administration will usually result in a safe outcome.

Abstract:

Diabetes is a chronic disorder accompanied by a significant illness burden, risk of complications, and with significant impact on psychosocial function. Rates of depression in diabetes are elevated in various studies. Our current understanding indicates a bidirectional relationship, with depression resulting from the illness, but also representing a predisposing factor. As we learn more about this relationship, the role of biological determinants becomes more apparent, including changes in neuroendocrine parameters, and the inflammatory mediators of depression.

Abstract:

Abdominal evaluation of the critically-ill patient is challenging. The patient may have a vague presentation, sometimes with a poor clinical history, few localizing signs, multiple co-morbidities and multi-organ involvement. Often the patient will require resuscitation prior to diagnostic work-up, and support devices such as mechanical ventilators and haemofilters may hamper assessment. Such unreliability of clinical indicators and the myriad of abdominal pathologies in a critically-ill patient may lead to diagnostic uncertainty with consequent delays in treatment. These challenges make imagin

This chapter examines the representations of Pericles, Nicias, Alcibiades, Brasidas, and Thucydides himself, highlighting the similar and contrasting traits that unite them.

This book offers the first coherent and in-depth description and analysis of the Danish pension system, its structure and performance.

Pelvic ring injuries can be life and limb threatening.

Early identification based on mechanism of injury and improved prehospital care can play a major role in the outcome following such injuries. Pelvic ring injuries can lead to significant haemorrhage. Mechanical measures to stabilize the pelvis, in addition to modern concepts of damage control resuscitation (DCR), have been shown to be effective in early management of potentially life-threa

Another, equally if not more severe, problem faced by young workers today is the relatively low quality of the jobs that they were able to get. Other problems include the exclusion of young workers from the labor market and from education and training opportunities

Abstract:

Illustrates how a changing U.S. economy demands a revival of employer-based workforce training and suggests a new model of apprenticeship founded on the best of practices past and present, overseas and at home. Registered apprenticeship provides opportunities to "learn and earn." Research data indicates that individuals who graduate with an apprenticeship certificate have higher starting salaries than those with only a two-year degree. This book examines the rebirth of an age-old concept in the 21st century—apprenticeship. Serving as a call to action with a positive message for parents, entrep

It focuses on the Covenant’s legal influence in Germany, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and examines three issues that uncover broader trends and challenges: first, it shows that the extent to which the direct effects of the ICESCR have been recognized reveals positive and negative influences; second, it indicates how the particularities of the political and l
