Métodos de investigación clínica y epidemiológica + StudentConsult en español


Book Description

Se presenta la nueva edición de la obra de los Dres. Josep Ma Argimon y Josep Jiménez, en la que se mantiene la filosofía que les llevó a escribir la primera edición en el año 1991. Así, el hilo conductor de la obra sigue siendo la elaboración de un protocolo de estudio, de forma que aquellos profesionales que se enfrentan al reto de diseñar una investigación puedan seguir, paso a paso, las diferentes fases, desde los planteamientos iniciales y la definición del objetivo, hasta la planificación de la estrategia de análisis. Este título, muy consolidado entre el público profesional a lo largo de sus sucesivas ediciones, constituye una guía práctica y de referencia para el estudio de los fundamentos del método científico y, en concreto, el diseño y desarrollo de un protocolo de estudio y la lectura e interpretación crítica de un artículo científico. En esta nueva edición, además de revisar todos los contenidos, especialmente algunos relacionados con la gestión del proyecto, se ha incluido un nuevo capítulo dedicado específicamente a la variable de respuesta. También se han revisado en profundidad y ampliado los aspectos relacionados con los estudios de equivalencia y no-inferioridad. Con la finalidad de que la obra sea lo más didáctica posible, los conceptos teóricos se ilustran con más de 300 ejemplos, actualizados y revisados, que se diferencian del texto para no entorpecer la lectura de los capítulos. Otra importante novedad es la inclusión de contenidos online accesibles a través de la plataforma www.studentconsult.es . Dichos contenidos incluyen: - Casos de estudio, - Presentaciones didácticas, - Glosario de términos en español e inglés, - Preguntas abiertas de cálculo, - Preguntas con respuesta verdadero/falso, - Preguntas de múltiple elección.

The Soils of Mexico


Book Description

Mexico is an extensive country with an extremely complex mosaic of landscapes. The soils of Mexico have still not been completely studied, and there are few publications available on this subject. This book provides a state-of-the-art view on Mexican soils, their geographical distribution, their use and degradation. This is a first attempt to give a systematized characteristic of the soil resources of Mexico. Land resources of the second-biggest economy in Latin America are critical for its sustainable development, and a demand for adequate soil information is high. The information contained within can be used for any soil-related research done in Mexico and in neighboring countries. The book includes detailed characteristics of soils of all the physiographic regions of Mexico with maps, photos and explanatory schemes. The book is based on the experiences of the authors in research and soil survey, as well as on the existent, mainly ‘grey’ literature on Mexican soils. The book is recommended for researchers and university readers, students of all levels and decision-makers, working in the area of soil science, environmental issues, Earth sciences, land management and nature conservation.

Electrotherapy Explained


Book Description

Electrotherapy Explained is an excellent research-based exploration of the major types of electrophysical agents used in clinical practice, particularly human and also animal. For the fourth edition, two new authors join the writing team, presenting the latest information for today's clinicians. The text has been completely updated with a major rewrite of the material, particularly that on electrical stimulation. This book continues to focus on evidence: clinical and biophysical evidence that affects how and which electrotherapies may be of use clinically and when. The inclusion of biophysics as well as clinical evidence and principles of application, enables clinicians to move away from traditional 'recipe-based' approaches and rely more on their own clinical reasoning. The focus remains on humans but the relevance of the principles for using and applying different modalities is explained clearly, providing guidelines for clinicians across disciplines and specialties. Up to date research detailing the evidence both supportive and deprecatory for the use of each modality Written by experts from biophysics and the clinical domains Comprehensive and well referenced Clear and well chosen illustrations elucidate the text Text boxes and summary sections help to break down what is sometimes a complex subject into manageable and memorable chunks Contraindications and risks have been updated in light of the most recent research Three books for the price of one - the website (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780750688437) contains the entire texts of 'Physical Principles Explained' by Low and Reed, and 'Biophysical Bases of Electrotherapy' by Ward. The text directs readers to the website for further reading at relevant points.

The text takes a problem-oriented approach and recommends interventions consistent with both theory and the clinical efficacy of the intervention for specific, clearly identified clinical disorders. This edition has a new chapter on electrical stimulation and biofeedback for genitourinary dysfunction, including incontinence management in both women and men. All the intervention-based chapters have a new format that emphasizes evidence-based practice and practical application. Additional self-study questions are included in each chapter. NEW TO THIS EDITION: New chapter on Electrical Stimulation and Biofeedback for Genitourinary Dysfunction (Chapter 9) includes topics such as incontinence management in both women and men, and gives solid evidence to support or refute specific procedures. New organization Chapter on mechanisms of pain transmission and pain control with electrotherapy will be moved up to chapter 4 to make the first four chapters the theoretical basis for the clinical application chapters that follow. Chapter on electrophysiologic evaluation will become the last chapter (chapter 12) in order to enable students to meet core educational competencies. New chapter format for the intervention chapters (chapters 5-11) adds consistency and clarity to emphasize evidenced-based practice and practical application. Additional self-study questions are included in each chapter to enhance understanding of key concepts. New emphasis on evidence-based preferential practice patterns.
