Essential Guide to Blood Coagulation, Second Edition By
2013 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 1118288793 | PDF | 2 MB
Thrombotic and bleeding disorders affect at least 10 million people in the US alone. There has also been a great deal of concern over travel-related deep vein thrombosis and therefore much more interest and research into the field of blood clotting. This new and concise practical guide will cover all the essentials one needs to know when managing thrombotic and bleeding disorders. The field of haematology is undergoing major advances in thrombosis research, including significant additions to recommended treatment protocols. The Essential Guide to Coagulation will distil the most clinically, up-to-date and relevant material from the literature for all those working in the field.Faced with a bleeding patient, it may be difficult to discern whether blood loss is due to a local factor or secondary to an underlying haemostatic defect. There are a range of simple and specialized laboratory texts which can be performed to further define the cause of bleeding in a patient. Since thefirst edition there have been many developments in the field including many new anticoagulant drugs. These new classes of "direct thrombin inhibitors" slow the coagulation cascade by directly binding to thrombin, a clotting factor essential in the clotting process. If thrombin is blocked, clot formation is delayed. A key component of this guide will be the latest treatment strategies available for patients.Content: Chapter 1 Schematic presentation of the hemostatic system (pages 1-5): Nils EgbergChapter 2 Proposals for sampling instructions (pages 6-10): Margareta Blomback and Nils EgbergChapter 3 Laboratory investigations (pages 11-38): Jovan P.

W.K. Stratton, "Backyard Brawl: Inside the Blood Feud Between Texas and Texas A&M"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 1400051118 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 0.6 mb
It happens once a year, creating a seismic divide throughout the country. It pits brother against brother. It breaks up business deals. It ruins relationships. And once it's finished, all both sides want is for another year to pass by so they can do it again. It is the Texas/Texas A& M football game. And in the football-obsessed state that is Texas, no single game resonates more.

Architecture and the Nazi Cultural Landscape: Blood, Soil, Building
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032276924 | 358 Pages | PDF (True) | 132 MB
For the Nazi regime, cultural landscape was indeed a heritage resource, but it was much more than that: cultural landscape was the nation. The project of Nazi racial purification and cultural renewal demanded the physical reshaping and reconceptualization of the existing environment to create the so-called "new Nazi cultural landscape." One of the most important components of this was a set of monumental sites thought to embody blood and soil beliefs through the harmonious synthesis of architecture and landscape. This special group of "landscape-bound" architectural complexes was interconnected by the new autobahn highway system, itself thought to be a monumental work embedded in nature. Behind this intentionally aestheticized view of the nation as cultural landscape lay the all-pervasive system of deception and violence that characterized the emerging totalitarian state.
Blood of Others: Stalin's Crimean Atrocity and the Poetics of Solidarity by Rory Finnin
English | April 7, 2022 | ISBN: 148750781X | True EPUB | 352 pages | 1.6 MB
In the spring of 1944, Stalin deported the Crimean Tatars, a small Sunni Muslim nation, from their ancestral homeland on the Black Sea peninsula. The gravity of this event, which ultimately claimed the lives of tens of thousands of victims, was shrouded in secrecy after the Second World War. What broke the silence in Soviet Russia, Soviet Ukraine, and the Republic of Turkey were works of literature. These texts of poetry and prose - some passed hand-to-hand underground, others published to controversy - shocked the conscience of readers and sought to move them to action.

Robert Pike, "Defying Vichy: Blood, Fear and French Resistance"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0750985526 | 320 pages | EPUB | 8.7 MB
July 1940 saw the collaborationist Vichy regime replace the French Republic after the country suffered heavily at the hands of the German onslaught during World War II. A small number of people sought to make a stand in whatever way they could, despite fear and mortal danger. From railway workers and couriers to guerrilla fighters and foreign agents, each played their part in destabilizing Marshal Pétain's poisonous regime. This book casts new light on the Resistance, using unique first-person accounts and newly translated archival records to highlight how ordinary people refused, protested, fought, and ultimately became heroes of the Resistance.
Steven Berkoff, "Collected Plays 'Ritual in Blood', 'Impressions of a Crucifixion', 'Oedipus"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0571205879 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.2 mb
This is a collection of three history plays, each displaying the sparkling muscularity of language that marks Berkoff out as one of the foremost wordsmiths in the English language. Set in thirteenth-century England, Ritual in Blood looks at the persecution of the Jews. Messiah begins with the image of Christ on the cross and pits His humanity and transcendent goodness against the evil of those who would kill Him. Finally, Berkoff offers a sharp and accessible adaptation of Sophocles's Oedipus tragedy.
