Analyses of crime and justice in an unprecedented timeWhile COVID-19 lockdowns affected nearly everyone worldwide, feelings of anxiety and fear were exacerbated for those already entangled in the criminal justice system. Scholars recognized the unique opportunity to study crime and the justice system’s response during this period, though they soon realized that determining the pandemic’s effects would be a complicated, nuanced process.Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic features analyses and findings from more than thirty contributors in eleven essays. The collection examines the multifaceted social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to COVID-19 and their impacts on crime and justice. It also explores how professionals across the criminal justice system—police officers, campus police officers, attorneys, judges, correctional staff, and community supervision agents—adapted to unprecedented challenges.The book provides real-world evidence of how unconventional solutions and groundbreaking practices were implemented in response to a global crisis. Contributors analyze how incarcerated individuals, their families, and their supervisors dealt with the fear of transmission, medical care, and death. Their findings, which are necessarily dependent on timing, place, measurement, and operationalization, include both change and stasis, both negative and positive outcomes. For instance, while minor and property-related offenses initially declined, violent crimes like homicide and intimate partner violence increased. Drug usage patterns changed, leading to a rise in opioid overdoses, and despite the rise in digital interactions, there was no significant difference in self-reported cybervictimization. Furthermore, rates of gang-related crimes did not decrease. Policy and public health responses reshaped criminal activities, influencing the methods and motivations behind theft, child and elder abuse, and other offenses. This volume includes in-depth examinations of certain often-overlooked crimes, such as labor trafficking, and provides direct insights into the job challenges faced by criminal justice professionals, from probation personnel to labor rights advocates.Emerging innovations in health risk management within correctional facilities led to increased awareness and focus on specific types of crime. Responses to the pandemic revealed significant challenges, such as burnout among justice system personnel, difficulties in adapting and innovating, and challenges in providing services to vulnerable populations.Through diverse perspectives and empirical approaches ranging from advanced statistical analysis to qualitative interviews, Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities that affect research results. It showcases the resilience and innovation within the criminal justice field and details the challenges professionals in this area tackled during a universally trying time, presenting valuable lessons for future crises.

Fundamentos de anestesia clínica atesora cerca de 30 años de experiencia en la enseñanza de la anestesiología como parte de la serie Anestesia Clínica. Fundada inicialmente por el doctor Paul G. Barash, esta obra presenta, en un formato amigable y de fácil lectura, los fundamentos de ciencias básicas en anestesiología y su aplicación dentro de entornos clínicos específicos.El contenido de esta 2.ª edición sigue organizado en cuatro secciones. La primera es una introducción al ejercicio de la especialidad; en la segunda parte se abordan los fundamentos de anatomía, fisiología, farmacología y tecnología que influyen en la anestesia; los capítulos que abarcan la tercera sección cubren los aspectos clínicos de la anestesia, como evaluación preoperatoria, anestesia en padecimientos específicos, manejo del dolor y tratamiento postoperatorio, entre otros temas; la última sección incluye apéndices, protocolos, guías, y elementos de uso y referencia frecuentes.En una era de constante cambio, esta obra responde a los tres principales desafíos de la educación médica: estar informado con respecto a los últimos avances y descubrimientos biomédicos y biopsicosociales, hacer uso de esa información de manera rentable y en beneficio del paciente, y transmitir el conocimiento por medio de métodos de enseñanza atractivos para las nuevas generaciones que incluyan el uso de herramientas digitales y que faciliten el dominio del conocimiento.

Anestesia Clínica es el libro líder y más completo en anestesiología. Cubre todo el espectro de problemas clínicos y soluciones disponibles en la especialidad.

A Historical Perspective on Evidence-Based Immunology focuses on the results of hypothesis-driven, controlled scientific experiments that have led to the current understanding of immunological principles. The text helps beginning students in biomedical disciplines understand the basis of immunologic knowledge, while also helping more advanced students gain further insights.

The book serves as a crucial reference for researchers studying the evolution of ideas and scientific methods, including fundamental insights on immunologic tolerance, interactions of lymphocytes with antigen TCR and BCR, the generation of diversity and mechanism of tolerance of T cells and B cells, the first cytokines, the concept of autoimmunity, the identification of NK cells as a unique cell type, the structure of antibody molecules and identification of Fab and Fc regions, and dendritic cells.

Provides a complete review of the hypothesis-driven, controlled scientific experiments that have led to our current understanding of immunological principles Explains the types of experiments that were performed and how the interpretation of the experiments altered the understanding of immunology Presents concepts such as the division of lymphocytes into functionally different populations in their historical context Includes fundamental insights on immunologic tolerance, interactions of lymphocytes with antigen TCR and BCR, and the generation of diversity and mechanism of tolerance of T and B cells
