¿Cirugía nasal? ¡No caiga en las garras del síndrome de la nariz vacía! es una fiel traducción de la obra publicada por Christopher Martin ''Having Nasal Surgery? Don''t You Become An Empty Nose Victim!, si bien la edición española incluye un nuevo prólogo del Dr. Steven M. Houser donde refiere el creciente interés mostrado por la comunidad médica en el síndrome, siendo muestra de ello la nueva bibliografía aparecida, añade nuevas páginas webs y libros de interés en los Apéndices B y D e incluye las referencias bibliográficas médicas aparecidas desde el año 2007, en que fue publicada la obra original, al año 2015.

¿Se ha sometido a una cirugía nasal? ¿se encuentra peor que antes de haberse sometido a una cirugía nasal? Si es así, usted podría ser uno de los millones de personas que padecen una afección médica grave conocida como el síndrome de nariz vacía (SNV), una complicación de la cirugía. Los síntomas del SNV incluyen dificultad para respirar, a pesar de tener una buena permeabilidad nasal, sequedad nasal, irritación de garganta, mucosidad espesa y pegajosa, sueño superficial y, a veces, sinusitis crónica. Muchos pacientes con el SNV sufren debido a él graves depresiones e incluso algunos se suicidaron debido a los insoportables síntomas causados por el SNV. Gracias al esfuerzo y respaldo de reconocidos especialistas en SNV, Christopher Martin aporta y ofrece un mensaje genuino al lector y una esperanza para el paciente gravemente dañado por el SNV en su libro basándose en:

1.- Su propio testimonio con el que explica como él mismo viene manejando con éxito el SNV que padece desde años.

2.- Una crítica profunda y bien fundamentada de las cirugías turbinales o también conocidas como cirugías de los cornetes nasales o conchas nasales, que se expone a fin de que sea contemplada antes de que los pacientes que sufran obstrucción nasal decidan si someterse a una intervención para aliviar dicha obstrucción.

3.- Una aproximación crítica a las causas que permiten que todavía millones de personas se sometan cirugías que podrían causar el SNV.

4.- Los mejores tratamientos para SNV, muchos de los cuales también se aplican a la sinusitis, rinitis alérgica, goteo posnasal, ERGE y asma.

This book argues that the UK, as a post-modern globalised state, will require means to have influence over events and opponents that threaten the UK''s interests in the 21st century, and that its means is the Royal Navy. However, unlike other studies, this research emphasizes the role of logistics, especially afloat support logistics and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. In doing so, the author rejects the current theory underpinning military operations at distance, that distance degrades capability, and posits an alternative theory, that time is the key factor, for maritime-based forces. The UK must reengage with its maritime status and maintain a maritime-based capability to protect its interests in the new maritime century as a leader within the international community. The book will be of use to scholars and researchers interested in naval history and defence policy. 

Recent years have seen a growing emphasis on ethics education in different professions, such as medicine and teaching. However, the implications of this emphasis for professional education programs have been underdeveloped. In this volume, philosophers, philosophers of education, and ethics educators engaged in a variety of professional contexts in Canada, the UK, Norway, Malta, and Sweden assess the state of ethics education and the role, if any, of philosophical approaches to ethics for those professional contexts.

This volume speaks to teacher, medical, and business education, and the education of school psychologists. Each of these fields has its own context, aims and expertise, generating distinctive ethical challenges. As such, ethics curricula cannot be uncritically transplanted from one professional context to another. Nonetheless, the arguments and analyses in this volume point to a shared concern about the role of moral respect, self-understanding, and virtue in the education of professionals. The chapters examine a wide range of topics, including empirical ethics, core concepts in professional ethics, moral agency, the ethics of ethics education, risk-taking, professional ethics as a practice with its own ethical requirements, and the tensions between the individual (client, patient, student) and the increasing generalization of professional systems. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethics in Education.
