Sommario/riassunto

Compromised perfusion indicates the inability of the cardiovascular system to sustain the normal distribution of blood flow within the entire body and can be defined as a reduction of perfusion pressure leading to the exclusion of single capillaries or groups of capillaries. Occurring in patients subjected to shock, trauma, extensive surgery and organ transplantation, it reduces the surface area available for



exchange of nutrients and metabolites with the consequence of tissue hypoxia and accumulation of waste products. To counteract compromised perfusion hypertonic/hyperoncotic saline/dextran solutions are used efficiently. This book presents an overview of the most recent findings from studies investigating compromised perfusion. The selected contributions discuss the mechanistic effects and side effects of small volume resuscitation, as well as specific effects of dextran in the field of organ conservation and post-ischemic leukocyte/endothelium interaction. Furthermore, specific aspects of the biology and pathophysiology of microvascular endothelium are considered. Providing a critical review of recent advances, this volume serves as an excellent source of information for all those interested in both clinical and experimental microcirculation research.

Sommario/riassunto

This book systematically examines the linguistic features and socio-cultural issues of ‘Hong Kong English’. The author focuses on authentic data taken from the International Corpus of English (the Hong Kong component) and the Corpus of Global Web-based English to track the ways in which the English language in Hong Kong has been adapted by its users. She also analyses the emergence of new forms and structures in its grammar and discourse. While the phonetic and phonological aspects of this variety of English have been well documented, its grammatical peculiarities and social language use have been hitherto neglected. This book offers original insights into the grammatical and pragmatic/discoursal features of Hong Kong English and will therefore be of interest to those working in fields such as World Englishes and corpus linguistics.
