This classic textbook on cardiac anatomy has been updated in its fifth edition with additional high quality surgical and pathological photographs, as well as new information and recent findings of the last decade. Beginning with an overview of surgical approaches to the heart, the book goes on to discuss the surgical anatomy of the cardiac chambers, the valves, and the circulation and conduction system within the heart, moving on to cover malformations, lesions, and abnormalities. This edition is informed by the most up-to-date research findings, and a new chapter has been added which reviews cardiac development. A complimentary digital companion now accompanies the book, allowing readers to view the images in high-resolution on screen. Written from the stance of the cardiac surgeon, this updated book is essential reading for consultants and trainees in cardiac surgery, cardiology and cardiovascular radiology, and anatomists.

The Oxford Textbook of Cardiac Anatomy delivers an authoritative and graphically detailed resource of the heart's structure, written by leading experts who have shaped the field through groundbreaking research and clinical insight. This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth description of all cardiac components as they appear in the living body, bridging basic anatomy with clinical relevance. Beginning with cardiac development and the pericardial coverings, the textbook guides readers through the anatomy of each chamber, the arterial pathways, and the atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial junctions. Detailed accounts are provided of features such as the cardiac conduction system and mural architecture, authored by those responsible for major advances in cardiology and cardiac interventions. The arrangement of cardiomyocytes, the vascular and nervous systems, and the heart's conduction pathways are explored in depth, supported by cutting-edge imaging-including synchrotron techniques-and richly illustrated autopsy specimens. The book concludes with a comparative look at cardiac anatomy across animal species used in experimental research, offering valuable context for translational studies. Essential reading for anatomists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, and researchers, this textbook is a definitive reference for understanding the heart's structure in both diagnosing and treating cardiac diseases and interventions.

In 2006, RAND conducted the National Computer Security Survey (NCSS), the first nationally representative cybersecurity survey of businesses within the United States on behalf of the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This report documents the methodology used to develop and field the NCSS, as well as the sampling design and weighting methodology used.

Reports the results of a workshop on ensuring the security of information against malevolent actions by insiders in the intelligence community with access to sensitive information and information systems. Reports the results of a workshop on the problems of ensuring the security of information against malevolent actions by insiders in the intelligence community (IC) with access to sensitive information and information systems. Attendees discussed community system models, vulnerabilities and exploits, attacker models, and event characterization, and discussed databases that would aid them in their work.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome draws together the experiences of the leading experts in the field. Through their work in all aspects of congenital cardiac care, they have become acknowledged as the world leaders in the diagnostic, medical and social needs of children born with hypoplasia of the left heart. More importantly, for the first time the book recognizes the crucial contributions made by the families of these children. Diagnostic possibilities, options for medical and surgical treatment and a history of their evolution are looked into and the book also gives an insight into the longer-term effects that treatment has on the child and its family. As well as including contributions from medical clinicians, nurses, and psychologists, for the first time a forum is provided for the parents, who have complemented the contributions from the medical and nursing experts to provide a holistic view of the lives and experiences of the children born with this condition. No other publication, currently available, offers such a comprehensive overview of the care required by a child with hypoplasia of the left heart. This book provides the ultimate reference for anyone treating children with this heart condition, particularly paediatric cardiac clinical and nursing teams, radiologists and radiographers, obstetric medical and nursing teams, psychologists, pathologists, geneticists and workers in social care.

Making future DoD models and simulations more composable; A discussion of actions the Department of Defense could take to improve the composability of its future models and simulations, i.e., the ability to select and assemble components in various combinations to satisfy specific user requirements. Factors that determine what can be composed and the expense and risk of composing various components are examined, and suggestions are presented on both policies and investments that would enhance prospects for composability.

This title projects the impact of information technology and the information revolution on areas across the globe for the next 10 to 15 years.

A conference sponsored by the National Intelligence Council in May 2000 concentrated on technical trends in the information revolution focusing on the resulting new artifacts and services that might become widespread during the next 20 years. Participant

It is widely believed, and increasingly documented, that the United States is vulnerable to various types of information warfare attacks. Threats range from nuisance attacks by hackers to those potentially putting national security at risk. The latter might include attacks on essential U.S. information systems in a major regional crisis or theater war. The purpose might be to deter (or coerce) a U.S. intervention, to degrade U.S. power projection capabilities, to punish the United States or its allies, or to undermine the support of the American public for the conflict.

This series of videos, with accompanying book, is based on demonstrations pre-recorded by the authors in order to shows the essence of the abnormal morphology with carefully selected autopsy specimens. Findings are compared with appropriately dissected normal hearts. The book contains illsutrations based on specimens and diagrams used in the videos with extensive material from the authors. The videos are entitled: "Atrioventricular Septal Defects", "Hearts With Isometric Atrial Appendages", "Tetralogy of Fallot and Double Outlet Right Ventricle" and "Hearts With Univentricular Atrioventricular Connection".
