Esperti della Unione Europea la definirono come "l'integrazione, il monitoraggio e la gestione dei pazienti, nonché l'educazione dei medesimi e del personale, usando sistemi che consentano un pronto accesso alla consulenza di esperti e alle informazioni del paziente, indipendentemente da dove esso o le informazioni risiedano". Con i nuovi metodi di raccolta e trasmissione di dati, non è quindi più il paziente a spostarsi ma le informazioni che lo riguardano.Il volume introduce il lettore alla Information and Communication Technology (ICT) applicata alla medicina e ne illustra l'impatto sulla diagnostica e sulla terapia medica. Nell'ambito dello sviluppo di applicazioni software è fondamentale "parlare la stessa lingua"; g...

Based on dozens of intensive interviews with parents, clinical psychologists, teachers, therapists, and more, An Unlikely Trust is the fictional story of Alina, a young girl adopted from Russia. After a lengthy adoption process, Alina's parents are confounded by their daughter's behavior upon arriving in America. They were aware that she did not speak English and expected some developmental delay, but they did not foresee that the tiny four-year-old would hoard her food, deeply mistrust affection from others, and fail to initiate or respond to most social situations. Most concerning, though, are Alina's rages. When she is frightened, overwhelmed, or confused, Alina lashes out with the strength and stamina of a person many times her size, leading to injury, property destruction, and eventually police intervention and hospitalization. Alina's parents know that their daughter needs help--more than they can provide-and work endlessly on her behalf. From seeking a diagnos...

Automotive Oscilloscopes and Waveform Analysis The rapid growth of technology used in cars has highlighted the need for a piece of diagnostic equipment that will give you X-Ray Vision, and show you the heartbeat of a vehicles electrical and electronic system. An OBD scan tool is vital for modern vehicle diagnostics; however, trouble codes will only take you so far. The problem can arise when the phrase 'fault code' is used in connection with diagnosis. A code will rarely point you directly to the root cause of a vehicle fault, but can help focus your diagnosis on a specific area and run functional tests. It is the oscilloscope (or scope) that can truly test the operation and health of a system component. An important thing to remember about oscilloscopes, is that they should be easy to set- up and use; otherwise they'll be passed over for a more familiar tool within your comfort zone. Remember that nothing ever happens within your comfort zone. There is a great deal of mi...
