Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides the first clinically comprehensive and practical approach to ethical challenges in perinatal medicine. The first chapter introduces and explains the professional responsibility model of perinatal ethics. The professional responsibility model is based on the medical ethics of two major physician-ethics in the history of Western medical ethics, Dr. John Gregory (1724-1773) of Scotland and Dr. Thomas Percival (1740-1804) of England. The professional responsibility model is used to articulate the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient and to operationalize the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy. The book provides practical guidance for clinical judgment and decision making with patients about the responsible clinical management of the wide range of issues |

encountered by perinatologists in clinical practice and research. Topics included: periviability; feticide; intrapartum management; maternal-fetal conflict; innovation for fetal benefit; research for fetal benefit; non-aggressive obstetric management; managing the transition from pregnancy to birth; destructive procedures such as cephalocentesis; critical care for the pregnant patient; home birth; patient-choice cesarean delivery; neonatal care as a trial of management; and setting limits on neonatal care on the basis of clinical judgments of futility. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book covers nanocomposite materials possessing a broad range of multifunctionality. It is intended to elucidate highly original developments from recent research and developments of these critical newly developed engineered materials, covering multiscale modeling, molecular dynamics, finite element method, atomistic based continuum, synthesis and characterization, condition health monitoring, spectroscopic characterization techniques, self-lubricating materials, and conducting polymers. It is a compilation of the recent efforts of some of the most eminent researchers in the world. Providing a range of perspectives from theory and applications, Advances in Nanocomposites: Modeling, Characterization Applications is ideal for engineers, physicists, and materials scientists in academia, defence organisations and industry. |
