Obstetrik - en grundbog er en helt ny lærebog i faget obstetrik. Den afløser den tidligere lærebog Obstetrik. Tekstens grundlag er dels målbeskrivelser fra de tre sundhedsvidenskabelige fakulteter, dels Sandbjerg guidelines og retningslinjer fra Sundhedsstyrelsen. Hensigten har været at skabe en indlæringsvenlig og tidssvarende lærebog, der modsvarer et ønske om en afgrænset, men dækkende lærebog på dansk. Målgruppen er primært medicinstuderende, jordemoderstuderende og alment praktiserende læger.

Ars pariendi – håndgreb og akut behandling ved fødsler er en tværfaglig og praktisk orienteret obstetrisk lærebog om håndteringen af det normale og det komplicerede fødselsforløb. Bogen gennemgår i kortfattet form og med mange tegninger og fotos relevante håndgreb og procedurer samt understøtter klinisk beslutningstagning. Bogens indhold baserer sig i videst mulig udstrækning på eksisterende evidens for god klinisk praksis i Skandinavien. Denne 2. udgave er en gennemgribende revision af tekst og illustrationer og er suppleret med nye selvstændige kapitler om Hjemmefødsel, Dystoci, CTGovervågning og Præterm fødsel. Forståelsen for, hvornår man skal og ikke skal intervenere i fødselsforløbet, er altafgørende på en fødestue. Visse akutte hændelser indtræder så hyppigt på fødestuen, at man som studerende, uddannelsessøgende eller sundhedsprofessionel kan opnå viden og erfaring gennem klinisk praksis. Andre akutte hændelser indtræder derimod så sjældent, at det er vanskeligt alene gennem arbejdet på fødestuen at opøve en praksisbaseret rutine i håndteringen heraf. Ars pariendi – håndgreb og akut behandling ved fødsler dækker således et behov for en kortfattet og let tilgængelig lærebog, som guider sundhedsprofessionelle i beslutninger, håndgreb og teamsamarbejde på og omkring en fødestue. Bogen kan også bruges som opslagsbog i den akutte situation. Forfatterne er primært læger i gynækologi og obstetrik samt jordemødre fra forskellige fødesteder og jordemoderuddannelsen i Danmark. Enkelte kapitler inddrager forfattere fra andre specialer som fx anæstesiologi og klinisk biokemi. Målgruppen er først og fremmest yngre læger under speciallægeuddannelse i gynækologi og obstetrik, speciallæger med vagt på fødegang, jordemødre og jordemoderstuderende samt sygeplejersker ansat på svangre- og barselsafsnit. Bogen kan også have interesse for læger indenfor andre specialer, som indgår i samarbejdet omkring behandling af gravide og fødende.

It's been several years since his divorce, but retired artisan Abdel struggles to adapt to life in a big, empty house. Clinging to routines and late-night talks with the affable bouncer at his favourite Irish pub, he is caught between confronting a painful past and an uncertain future. When he impulsively decides to help the teenage runaway Lo c, he is thrust into the centre of a social drama that quickly takes over his life. Their journey through the alleys and beaches of Cannes brings them into contact with an eclectic cast: a shop owner who curates the belongings of the departed, a rebellious musician who offers Lo c a lifeline, and the ever-present, enigmatic Wanderer. Tom Weber's latest novel is a poignant exploration of grief, resilience, and what it truly means to have lived a life, revealing a world of struggle and solidarity far from the glamour of the festival lights.

Anja and Tito can't believe their luck when the eccentric editor-in-chief of La Lettera asks them to cover the latest edition of the legendary Venice Biennale. But the seemingly routine trip quickly takes a turn as Tito grapples with increasingly complex feelings towards his long-time colleague and friend. From smashed up artworks in the Giardini and the fragile wonders of Murano to vain celebrations in a decrepit Lido hotel, Venice is ripe with symbols and mystery in this highly introspective story. Come along on a journey through the ephemeral city that unravels the innermost nature of love and life itself.

Newly updated with reflections on the city at the center of a global social uprising, this concise history of Minneapolis features stories that are familiar, surprising, and sure to change the way you see the City of Lakes. Minneapolis is Minneapolis because of the water--because of the Mississippi River, and St. Anthony Falls, and the beautiful lakes that dot the city's neighborhoods. Energized by the power of a magnificent waterfall that was harnessed with stolen technology, it became a major, even global, city. In this succinct and thought-provoking book, Tom Weber provides an urban biography of the City of Lakes. The confluence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota River is a sacred place for Dakota people, who have lived here for millennia. Since the city's beginnings in the 1850s, Minneapolis has experienced continual collapses and rebuilding. Some collapses were real, as when the Falls were nearly destroyed; some are metaphorical, as when corruption and the mob threatened to overtake the life of the city. Weber also explores the effects of the rebuilding and who was in charge: who was left in, and who was left out. In this updated paperback edition, a new conclusion recounts the context for and the worldwide reaction to the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in May of 2020. In the midst of a pandemic, the city was thrust into the global spotlight, and a spotlight was turned once again on the legacies of racism and inequality that brought Minneapolis to the breaking point. Cities, like people, are always changing, and the history of that change is the city's biography. This book illuminates the unique character of Minneapolis, weaving in the hidden stories of place, politics, and identity that continue to shape its residents' lives.

C'est Venise que prend corps l'histoire de Tito et d'Anja et que se d roule le th tre d'une relation sentimentale hors du commun. Bien d'avantage qu'une mise en sc ne pour apaiser le d sir romantique des traditionnels touristes, l'envo tante atmosph re de la S r nissime devient le reflet des attentes fantasm es et des d sirs inassouvis de nos deux acteurs dans la premi re novella de ce jeune disciple de Thomas Mann. L'omnipr sence de la cit lacustre, tant t touffante et tant t merveilleuse, va tre la source d'un rapprochement intense entre les deux protagonistes. Cet enchantement trompeur n'est-il cependant pas synonyme d'errance sentimentale? L'union entre Tito et Anja est-elle aussi porteuse d'espoirs que le pr nom retenu par le p re de Tito, en l'honneur de son mar chal favori?
