Born into a distinguished Arab-American family and raised amid privilege, Lisa Halaby joined the first freshman class at Princeton to accept women, graduating in 1974 with a degree in architecture and urban planning. Two years later, while visiting her father in Jordan, she was casually introduced on the airport runway to King Hussein. Widely admired in the Arab world as a voice of moderation, and for his direct lineage to the prophet Muhammad, Hussein would soon become the world's most eligible bachelor after the tragic death of his wife. The next time they met, Hussein would fall headlong in love with the athletic, outspoken daughter of his longtime friend. After a whirlwind secret courtship, Lisa Halaby became Noor Al Hussein, Queen of Jordan. With eloquence and candor, Queen Noor speaks of the obstacles she faced as a naive young bride in the royal court, of rebelling against the smothering embrace of security guards and palace life, and of her own successful struggle to create a working role as a humanitarian activist in a court that simply expected Noor to keep her husband happy. As she gradually took on the mantle of a queen, Noor's joys and challenges grew. After a heartbreaking miscarriage, she gave birth to four children. Meshing the demands of motherhood with the commitments of her position often proved difficult, but she tried to keep her young children by her side, even while flying the world with her husband in his relentless quest for peace. This mission would reap satisfying rewards, including greater Arab unity and a peace treaty with Israel, and suffer such terrible setbacks as the Gulf War and the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin. Leap of Faith is a remarkable document. It is the story of a young American woman who became wife and partner to an Arab monarch. It provides a compelling portrait of the late King Hussein and his lifelong effort to bring peace to his wartorn region and an insider's view of the growing gulf between the United States and the Arab nations. It is also the refreshingly candid story of a mother coming to terms with the demands the king's role as a world statesman placed on her family's private life. But most of all it is a love story?the intimate account of a woman who lost her heart to a king, and to his people. 517 $aLeap of Faith 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aBiography & Autobiography$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aBiography & Autobiography. 686 $aBIO014000$aBIO022000$aHIS026000$2bisacsh 700 $aal-Hussein$b Noor$01774653 701 $aToren$b Suzanne$01774654 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910151775503321 996 $aLeap of faith$94287373 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04714nam 2201117z- 450 001 9910557353203321 005 20220111 035 $a(CKB)5400000000042358 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/77164 035 $a(oapen)doab77164 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000042358 100 $a20202201d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aMinimally Invasive Urological Procedures and Related Technological Developments 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (142 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-2708-7 311 08$a3-0365-2709-5 330 $aThe landscape of minimally invasive urological intervention is changing. A lot of new innovations and technological developments have happened over the last 3 decades. Laparoscopy and robotic surgery have revolutionised kidney and prostate cancer treatment, with more minimally invasive procedures now being carried out than ever before. At the same time, technological advancements and the use of laser have changed the face of endourology. Several new innovative treatments are now commonplace for benign prostate enlargement (BPE). Management of prostate cancer now involves procedures such as robotic prostatectomy, brachytherapy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy and HIFU. Robotic partial nephrectomy and cryotherapy have changed the face of renal cancer. En-bloc resection of bladder cancer is challenging the traditional management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and becoming commonplace, while robotic cystectomy is also gaining popularity for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Newer surgical intervention related to BPE includes laser (holmium, thulium and green light), water-based treatment (Rezum, Aquablation) and other minimally invasive procedures such as prostate artery embolisation (PAE) and Urolift. Endourological procedures have incorporated newer laser types and settings such as moses technology, disposable ureteroscopes (URS) and minimisation of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) instruments. All these technological innovations and improvements have led to shorter hospital stay, reduced cost, potential reduction in complications and improvement in the quality of life (QoL). 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 606 $aSurgery$2bicssc 610 $aacute kidney injury 610 $aAI 610 $aartificial intelligence 610 $abladder cancer 610 $aCEUS 610 $achronic pelvic pain syndrome 610 $achronic prostatitis 610 $acontrast-enhanced ultrasound 610 $adecision making 610 $adiabetes mellitus 610 $adrinking water 610 $aEHS 610 $aendourology 610 $aESWT 610 $aextracorporeal shockwave therapy 610 $afertility 610 $aHo:YAG laser 610 $aholmium 610 $ahydronephrosis 610 $aIIEF-5 610 $aimage quality 610 $akidney calculi 610 $akidney stone disease 610 $akidney stones 610 $alaser 610 $alaser fiber 610 $alaser lithotripsy 610 $alithotripsy 610 $amachine learning 610 $ametabolic syndrome 610 $amineral composition 610 $amineral water 610 $aMoses 610 $anephrolithiasis 610 $anephrostomy 610 $aNIH-CPSI 610 $apartial nephrectomy 610 $aPCNL 610 $apediatric urology 610 $apercutaneous nephrolithotomy 610 $apredictor factors 610 $aprostate cancer 610 $aQoL 610 $aquality of life 610 $arenal cell carcinoma 610 $arenal tumour 610 $arenal ultrasound 610 $areproductive urology 610 $aRIRS 610 $asingle site surgery 610 $asmall renal mass (3-5) 610 $asparkling water 610 $astill water 610 $asurvival 610 $asutureless 610 $aTFL 610 $athulium fiber laser 610 $aureteroscopy 610 $aurinary incontinence 610 $aurinary reflux 610 $aurolithiasis 610 $aurology 610 $aurosepsis 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 615 7$aSurgery 700 $aSomani$b Bhaskar K$4edt$01296154 702 $aSomani$b Bhaskar K$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557353203321 996 $aMinimally Invasive Urological Procedures and Related Technological Developments$93023821 997 $aUNINA
