112 vragen over de zorgverzekeringswet: Alles wat huisartsen moeten weten
by Christine Beerepoot Henriëtte van der HorstDit boek geeft antwoord op de meest gestelde vragen rondom de zorgverzekeringswet in de huisartsenpraktijk. Het gaat in op de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wet- en regelgeving. De vragen over de zorgverzekering worden vaak in de huisartsenpraktijk gesteld. Ondanks de goede inburgering van de zorgverzekering in Nederland. Omdat de huisarts het eerste aanspreekpunt is voor vragen over gezondheid en ziekte. Vragen zoals: · Welke zorg valt onder het basispakket? · Wat gebeurt er als de nominale premie niet wordt betaald? · Wat is de hoogte van het verplicht eigen risico? · Valt huisartsenzorg of medisch specialistische zorg onder het verplicht eigen risico? Maar ook meer complexe vragen over geschillen en bevoegde instanties en de regeling voor gemoedsbezwaarden komen aan bod. Jaarlijks vinden er aanpassingen en verbeteringen plaats in de zorgverzekering. Denk daarbij aan de wijzigingen in het basispakket of indexering van eigen betalingen of het eigen risico. In 2015 is de stelselwijziging van de langdurige zorg ingevoerd. Dit heeft geleid tot pakketwijzigingen in de zorgverzekering. De nieuwe Wet langdurige zorg is ingevoerd alsmede de Jeugdwet en de Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning. Ook wordt er uitgebreid stilgestaan bij de actuele ontwikkelingen in de huisartsenpraktijk. Zoals de intrede van de praktijkondersteuners somatiek en GGZ in de huisartsenpraktijk. Daarnaast wordt aandacht besteed aan de vergoedingenstructuur voor de huisarts die sinds 2015 grondig is herzien. Steeds meer asielzoekers of illegalen bezoeken de huisarts. Welke vergoedingen zijn dan van toepassing? 112 Vragen over de Zorgverzekeringswet is een praktisch vraag- en antwoordboek voor de huisarts over de zorgverzekeringswet in de huisartsenpraktijk.

11th International Conference on Practical Applications of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #616)
by Florentino Fdez-Riverola Juan F. De Paz Mohd Saberi Mohamad Miguel Rocha Tiago PintoBiological and biomedical research are increasingly driven by experimental techniques that challenge our ability to analyse, process and extract meaningful knowledge from the underlying data. The impressive capabilities of next-generation sequencing technologies, together with novel and constantly evolving, distinct types of omics data technologies, have created an increasingly complex set of challenges for the growing fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The analysis of the datasets produced and their integration call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, Biology is more and more a science of information and requires tools from the computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the rise of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists with a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. In this context, the interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance in boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new generation of Bioinformatics scientists. The PACBB'17 conference was intended to contribute to this effort and promote this fruitful interaction, with a technical program that included 39 papers spanning many different sub-fields in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Further, the conference promoted the interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists).

by John A. ParrishThe wry and heart-wrenching memoir of a young doctor&’s year behind the frontlines in Vietnam. Assigned to the marine camp at Phu Bai, Dr. John A. Parrish confronted all manner of medical trauma, quickly shedding the naïveté of a new medical intern. With this memoir, he crafts a haunting, humane portrait of one man&’s agonizing confrontation with war. With a wife and two children awaiting his return home, the young physician lives through the most turbulent and formative year of his life—and finds himself molded into a true doctor by the raw tragedy of the battlefield. His endless work is punctuated only by the arrival of the next helicopter bearing more casualties, and the stark announcements: &“12 litter-borne wounded, 20 ambulatory wounded, and 5 dead.&”12, 20 & 5 is an intimate and unique look at the effects of war that Library Journal calls &“an autobiographical M*A*S*H* . . . phenomenal.&”
12.21
by Dustin ThomasonFrom the co-author of the two-million copy mega-bestseller The Rule of Four comes a riveting thriller with a brilliant premise based on the 2012 apocalypse phenomenon--perfect for readers of Steve Berry, Preston and Child, and Dan Brown. For decades, December 21, 2012, has been a touchstone for doomsayers worldwide. It is the date, they claim, when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the world will end. In Los Angeles, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr. Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an urgent case she thinks he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the Getty Museum, is interrupted by a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the black market antiquities trade who thrusts a duffel bag into her hands. By the end of the day, Stanton, the foremost expert on some of the rarest infections in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel, the brightest young star in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an illegal artifact that has miraculously survived the centuries intact: a priceless codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record, written in secret by a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life's work and to one of history's great riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight. Suddenly it seems that our own civilization might suffer this same fate. With only days remaining until December 21, 2012, Stanton and Chel must join forces before time runs out.

12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management
by Ferdinand K. Hui Alejandro M. Spiotta Michael J. Alexander Ricardo A. Hanel Blaise William BaxterThis comprehensive, case-based resource provides the state-of-the-art knowledge that can help readers improve access and optimize delivery of stroke thrombectomy. Improving access to stroke is of particular importance because patients often misinterpret their symptoms or cannot speak for themselves if they have aphasia. More importantly, access needs to be organized because stroke therapies are all extremely time-sensitive. Scalable, choreographed protocols are necessary for emergency medical systems to ‘capture’ stroke patients and automatically transport and triage to time-sensitive treatments. Many of the chapters in the first section on Fundamentals and Systems provide valuable insight in improving access to stroke care. Replete with illustrative case studies and emphasizing that treatment approaches to stroke should not be comprised of a one-size-fits-all approach, this illuminating title provides the complete thought, detail, insight and organization that will help readers meet the needs of stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management examines the primary technical principles that underlie the current thrombectomy approaches. Instead of continuing the conceptual dichotomy of stent vs. aspiration, many of the chapters look at underlying principles and then discuss ways in which the currently available devices and approaches can best exploit them. The variety, creativity and detail in many of these chapters will help the reader develop a deeper understanding that might assist their ability to successfully take care of their next patient that ‘doesn’t follow the textbook.’ In addition, the anatomic and pathophysiologic classification of the core Twelve Chapters will help readers organize their thinking and approach. This knowledge, particularly because it is organized based on common, challenging syndromes, will arm the reader to quickly recognize patterns and deftly adapt their management approaches to the needs of the patient. An invaluable contribution to the clinical literature, 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management will be of great interest to not only neurosurgeons and neurologists but other specialists, primary care providers, and trainees as well.

The 14 Day Rule and Human Embryo Research: A Sociology of Biological Translation
by Sarah Franklin Emily JacksonThis assessment of Britain’s influential 14 day rule governing embryo research explores how and why it became the de facto global standard for research into human fertilisation and embryology, arguing that its influence and stability offers valuable lessons for successful biological translation.One of the most important features of the 14 day rule, the authors claim, is its reliance on sociological as well as ethical, legislative, regulatory and scientific principles. The careful integration of social expectations and perceptions, as well as sociological definitions of the law and morality, into the development of a robust legislative infrastructure of ‘human fertilisation and embryology’, enabled what has come to be known as the Warnock Consensus – a solid and enduring public acceptance that has enabled successive parliamentary approval for controversial areas of scientific research in the UK, such as stem cell research and mitochondrial donation, for over 30 years. These important sociological insights are increasingly relevant to new biotranslational challenges such as human germline gene editing and the use of AI assisted technologies in human reproduction. As the legislation around the 14 day rule begins to be reviewed worldwide, the important lessons we can learn from its global and enduring significance will apply not only to future legislation governing embryo research, but to the future of biological translation more widely.An important volume for those interested in reproductive studies, biogovernance and biological translation, it is suitable for researchers, clinicians and students in medicine, biosciences, sociology, and science and technology studies.

The 15 Minute Case Conceptualization: Mastering the Pattern-Focused Approach
by Len Sperry Jon SperryOnce understood as useful but optional, case conceptualization is now considered essential and one of the most important of all clinical skills and competencies. As clinicians look for resources to assist in learning and mastering this competency, they must choose among different case conceptualization approaches considering those that are both clinically effective and clinician friendly. <p><p>A truly clinically effective approach explains and guides treatment, and most importantly, predicts challenges and obstacles that are likely to arise over the course of treatment. Most approaches emphasize explaining and guiding treatment but seldom include third function which helps anticipate likely challenges, which if not proactively addressed, are likely to result in therapy interference or premature termination. Research shows that such case conceptualization is essential in determining the course and overall effectiveness of therapy. <p><p>This essential task can be completed in as little as fifteen minutes. A truly clinician-friendly approach is one that is quick to use and easy to master. The 15 Minutes Case Conceptualization is evidence-based, step-by-step approach that is both highly effective and clinician friendly.
