Abstract:

This chapter, reports on a prospectively matched controlled trial in which Inouye et al. examined the comparative effectiveness of a targeted multicomponent strategy for reducing the risk of delirium with that of usual standard care. The six targeted baseline risk factors in delirium-free patients admitted to a medical service in a teaching hospital were cognitive impairment, sleep deprivation, immobility, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and dehydration. Using standardized interventions for each of these when present, 42/426 (9.9%) of those in the intervention group had a first-incident

Abstract:

Part of the enduring fascination of the Salem witch trials is the fact that, to date, no one theory has been able to fully explain the events that ravaged Salem in 1692. Countless causes, from ergot-infected rye to actual demonic posession, have been offered to explain why the accusations and erratic behavior of seven village girls left hundreds accused, over 20 dead, and the townspeople of eastern Massachusetts shaken. Through a multitude of resources, this authoritative reference guide explores the Salem Witchcraft episode, including the religious and political climate in Puritan New England

Abstract:

While Jesus’ rejection in his hometown is common to all three synoptic accounts, the placement of this episode differs. Mark and Matthew narrate his rejection at the synagogue of Nazareth only after a period of successful ministry elsewhere. Luke collapses the Markan timeline by relocating the scene in the synagogue in Nazareth to the initial preaching tour through Galilee, and he also recounts an unsuccessful attempt to cast Jesus from the cliff outside the town. This trajectory of rewriting can be extended to include the Diatessaron of Tatian, where the first half of the Lukan pericope is le

Abstract:

Neuraxial anaesthesia (NA) is the primary form of anaesthesia used for caesarean delivery. The popularity of NA has increased in no small part due to improvements in mortality and morbidity associated with the techniques. However, intraoperative inadequacy of NA might expose patients to the risks of repeated NA techniques, general anaesthesia, and the long-term psychological effects of pain during caesarean delivery. Additionally, clinicians may also become exposed to the medicolegal consequences of failed NA. Prevention of failed NA requires a sound knowledge of the causes and risk factors as

This chapter emphasizes the role of contingency and questions attempts to explain the French Revolution as the embodiment of natural rights theory.

Indeed, Paine was not the primary author of the key narrative section of Rights of Man; this was Lafayette’s, and it expressed Lafayette’s self-serving propaganda. Rather, the chapter argues

Abstract:

Beyond the Barricades is an original study of government after the 1848–9 revolutions. It focuses on a number of conservative ministers in Prussia who sought to learn lessons from their experiences of upheaval and introduce a wave of reforming activity in the 1850s. Using extensive primary research, the work explores Prussia’s entry into the constitutional age, charting initiatives to recast criminal justice, agriculture, industry, communications, urban life, and press management. The reforms of the 1850s strengthened state contact with the Prussian population, making this a classic episode of

Daniel Stevens analyses the use of the language of divine commitment in the Epistle to the Hebrews, arguing that the author distinguishes promise from the cultic language of covenant to sketch a unique mixture of continuity and discontinuity among the people of God across time. Stevens stresses through an exegesis of relevant passages that rest is not the primary content of promise, nor is it the primary lens through which the other instances of promise language should be understood; suggesting instead that the promise is most closely associated with the benefits promised to Abraham, and then

The book reconstructs the stories of three Jewish women runaways and reveals their struggles and innermost convictions.

Primary headaches are benign, diagnosed entirely on the history, and form the major morbidity in the problem of headache. They often exist in episodic and chronic forms.

These colour changes may be accompanied by paraesthesiae and other sensations, but pain is not usually a prominent feature.

Abstract:

Based on data from several clinical trials, either rate control or rhythm control is an acceptable primary therapeutic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation. However, since atrial fibrillation tends to recur no matter the therapy, rate control should almost always be a part of the treatment. If a rhythm control strategy is selected, it is important to recognize that recurrence of atrial fibrillation is common, but not clinical failure per se. Rather, the frequency and duration of episodes, as well as severity of symptoms during atrial fibrillation episodes should guide treatment decis
