John F. Murray, for many years Chief of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division of the hospital and a Professor at the University of California, San Francisco, takes readers on his daily ward rounds, introducing them to the desperately ill patients he treats as well as to the young physicians and medical students who accompany him. Writing with compassion and knowledge accumulated over a long career, Murray presents the true stories of patients who show up with myriad disorders: asthma, cardiac failure, gastrointestinal diseases, complications due to AIDS, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, emphysema. Readers will come away from this book with a comprehensive understanding of what an ICU is, what it does, who gets admitted, and how doctors and nurses make decisions concerning life-threatening medical problems. Intensive care for critically ill patients is a new but well-established and growing branch of medicine. Estimates suggest that 15 to 20 percent of all hospitalized patients in the United States are treated in an intensive or coronary care unit during each hospital stay, so there is a real possibility that the reader will either be admitted to an ICU himself or herself or knows someone who will be. Murray not only offers a real-time account of the diagnosis, treatment, and progress of his patients over the course of one month but also conveys a wealth of information about various diseases and medical procedures in succinct and easy-to-understand terms. In addition, he elaborates on ethical dilemmas that he confronts on an almost daily basis: the extent of patient autonomy, the denial of ICU care, the withdrawal of life support, and physician-assisted suicide. Murray concludes that ICUs are doing their job, but they could be even better, cheaper, and--most important--more humane. His chronicle brings substance to a world known to most of us only through the fiction of television. 606 $aIntensive care units$vAnecdotes 606 $aCritical care medicine$vAnecdotes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntensive care units 615 0$aCritical care medicine 676 $a362.1/74 700 $aMurray$b John F$g(John Frederic),$f1927-$0101559 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449771503321 996 $aIntensive care$92447195 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05971nam 2200841 a 450 001 9910820091803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781118575116 010 $a1118575113 010 $a9781118574355 010 $a1118574354 010 $a9781118574836 010 $a1118574834 010 $a9781299186620 010 $a1299186629 035 $a(CKB)2550000001005867 035 $a(EBL)1124003 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000872619 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11547732 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000872619 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10831345 035 $a(PQKB)11063471 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1124003 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10658425 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL449912 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781118574355 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1124003 035 $a(OCoLC)834544202 035 $a(OCoLC)858312316 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn858312316 035 $a(OCoLC)827785527 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB178691 035 $a(Perlego)1002381 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001005867 100 $a20120917d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRadio resource allocation and dynamic spectrum access /$fBadr Benmammar, Asma Amraoui 205 $a1st edition 210 $aLondon $cISTE ;$aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (94 p.) 225 0 $aFocus series in waves,$x2051-2481 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9781848214453 311 08$a1848214456 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aTitle Page; Contents; ACRONYMS; INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER 1.

The increasing number of normalized standards paves the way for an increase in the range of services available for each consumer. Moreover, the majority of available radio frequencies have already been allocated. This explains the emergence of cognitive radio (CR) - the sharing of the spectrum between a primary user and a secondary user. In this book, we will present the state of the art of the different techniques for spectrum access using cooperation and competition t 410 0$aFocus series (London, England) 606 $aCognitive radio networks 606 $aRadio resource management (Wireless communications) 606 $aRadio frequency allocation$xManagement 615 0$aCognitive radio networks. 615 0$aRadio resource management (Wireless communications) 615 0$aRadio frequency allocation$xManagement. 676 $a621.38411 700 $aBenmammar$b Badr$01641054 701 $aAmraoui$b Asma$01641055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820091803321 996 $aRadio resource allocation and dynamic spectrum access$93984924 997 $aUNINA
