John Hampton – författare

Boken EKG på enkelt sätt är en översättning av John Hamptons & Joanna Hamptons bok The ECG made easy som i fyrtiofem års tid har varit den klassiska introduktionen till EKG. I Sverige, till skillnad från i stora delar av resten av världen, presenterar man extremitetsavledningarna enligt Cabrera-systemet. Denna svenska upplaga inkluderar därför ett tillägg om vad som skiljer EKG-registrering i Sverige från de flesta andra länder.EKG på enkelt sätt består av fyra delar. I första delen förklaras grunderna till EKG och hur det används i den kliniska praktiken på ett mycket enkelt sätt. I den andra delen förklaras teorin bakom EKG registrering som en utgångspunkt för grundläggande tolkning av de tolv avledningarna. I den tredje delen presenteras den kliniska tolkningen av EKG hos patienter med bröstsmärta, andfåddhet, hjärtklappning och synkope. Normalvarianter i EKG-registreringar från friska personer presenteras också. I den fjärde och sista delen testar du själv dina kunskaper genom att tolka EKG från verklighetsbaserade patientfall. Boken, som av British medical journal kallas för en medicinsk klassiker, har varit en klar favorit hos flera generationer läkarstudenter och sjuksköterskor. EKG-tolkning upplevs ofta som svårt och abstrakt. EKG på enkelt sätt inspirerar läsaren att se EKG som både något enkelt och en förlängning av patientanamnesen och den fysiska undersökningen. För hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal som behöver grundläggande och lättförståelig kunskap om EKG utgör boken ett oumbärligt stöd.

The grasses and legumes grown in pastures and rangelands form the basis of the worldwide animal production industry. Some species also have a significant role in the sport and leisure industry, for playing surfaces such as golf courses and football fields. It is therefore vitally important to ensure that seed supplies of appropriate species are available for use on a commercial scale. This book is published in association with the International Herbage Seed Production Research Group. It brings together leading researchers and along with its companion volume Forage Seed Production Volume 2: Tropical and Subtropical Species (to be published in late 1998), provides the definitive resource for all those concerned with breeding and profitable seed production for grasses and legumes used within grazing systems or recreation and amenity provision. The book is in two parts. Part 1 covers all aspects relevant to seed production, including improving seed yield and quality, crop management, harvesting, processing and the international seed trade. Part 2 consists of eleven case studies from eight countries covering three continents. This book and its companion should be read by all seed scientists involved in the breeding and commercial production of grass and legume seed. They also represent a valuable asset for all commercial seed suppliers. Additionally, the information presented within the book is important for all students and lecturers within departments of agriculture and plant breeding.

150 casos de ECG es la quinta edición de 150 problemas de ECG; en esta edición se ha modificado el título para destacar la importancia de relacionar el ECG con el paciente al que se le ha realizado dicha prueba, procediendo todos los registros de pacientes reales. Este manual sigue manteniendo el objetivo de las ediciones previas: mejorar los conocimientos del lector acerca del ECG poniendo a prueba sus habilidades de reconocimiento. Para ello se utiliza también una vinculación con otras obras del mismo autor como son ECG en la práctica y ECG fácil, incluyendo referencias cruzadas a lo largo del libro. La obra se divide en dos partes: una primera parte que incluye 75 ECG habituales que representan situaciones habituales que los especialistas pueden encontrarse en su práctica clínica y una segunda parte con 75 ECG más complejos que, aun registrando anomalías importantes, se encuentran con más dificultad en la práctica clínica. La nueva edición incluye más de un 15% de ECG nuevos con el objetivo de presentar ejemplos más claros, manteniendo también algunos registros confusos para que el lector no pierda de vista lo que ocurre en "el mundo real. Siguiendo el esquema de la edición previa, cada ECG se presenta en una única página y se acompaña, en la mayoría de los casos, de pruebas complementarias como radiografías y angiogramas coronarios para ilustrar así los síntomas que podrían asociarse a las diversas patologías cardíacas.

Obra dirigida a lectores que hayan aprendido los fundamentos del ECG pero que quieran obtener el máximo potencial del mismo como herramienta clínica. La obra ofrece información sobre las variaciones de los patrones de los ECG que se observan tanto en personas sanas como en pacientes con problemas cardíacos o de otro tipo, ofreciendo ejemplos claros de cada una de estas anomalías. El índice se organiza en función de las situaciones clínicas y siempre partiendo de que el ECG es parte de la valoración general del paciente, lo que propicia que cada capítulo comience con una breve información sobre anamnesis y valoración. Igualmente, cada capítulo termina con un breve resumen que indica los siguientes pasos una vez que el profesional haya interpretado el electrocardiograma. Contenido con una clara orientación clínica organizado mediante listas de referencias rápidas que permiten al lector localizar de manera ágil toda la información relevante. El autor, al igual que en las ediciones anteriores, se centra en electrocardiogramas individuales de 12 derivaciones para proporcionar así una reproducción realista del entorno clínico.
