Sommario/riassunto

Praise for Robust Portfolio Optimization and Management""In the half century since Harry Markowitz introduced his elegant theory for selecting portfolios, investors and scholars have extended and refined its application to a wide range of real-world problems, culminating in the contents of this masterful book. Fabozzi, Kolm, Pachamanova, and Focardi deserve high praise for producing a technically rigorous yet remarkably accessible guide to the latest advances in portfolio construction.""--Mark Kritzman, President and CEO, Windham Capital Management, LLC""The topic of robust

Sommario/riassunto

Effective treatment of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) often requires simultaneous multidisciplinary interventions. The health care provider needs to begin resuscitative efforts quickly, establish the cause of the haemorrhage, and possibly obtain the assistance of other care providers, such as an obstetrician, anaesthetist or radiologist. Avoiding delays in diagnosis and treatment will have significant impact on sequelae and chance of survival.These guidelines therefore include care pathways for the management of PPH, as a practical guide for clinicians. A loose-leaf insert of these care pathways
