L'accoucheur en cuissardes
by Jean Désy (2015)
About this book
"Je dédie ce recueil aux étudiants en médecine que j'ai eu le bonheur de côtoyer depuis une quinzaine d'années. J'aime passionnément leur enseigner. Quel talent et quelle intelligence chez ces êtres neufs qui avancent, qui sont allumés, qui "étincellent" dans l'existence, pour qui j'ai tant d'affection. Je leur dédie ces histoires parce que ce sont ces mêmes étudiants qui, après certains cours, alors que j'avais ouvert la discussion sur des éléments plus personnels ou plus cliniques, m'ont demandé de leur raconter quelques anecdotes tirées de mes expériences, de ma pratique médicale sur la Côte-Nord et autour de Québec, au Nunavik et à la Baie-James."--Memento.

Repentance
Louis E. Newman
In this candid and comprehensive probe into the nature of moral transgression and spiritual healing, Dr. Louis E. Newman examines both the practical and philosophical dimensions of teshuvah, Judaism's core religious-moral teaching on repentance, and its value for us -- Jews and non-Jews alike -- today. He exposes the inner logic of teshuvah as well as the beliefs about God and humankind that make it possible. He also charts the path of teshuvah, revealing to us how we can free ourselves from the burden of our own transgressions by: Acknowledging our transgressions; Confessing; Feeling remorse; Apologizing; Making restitution; Soul reckoning; Avoiding sin when the next opportunity arises
Evidence-based medicine for PDAs
Allan F. Platt
Evidence-Based Medicine for PDAs: A Guide for Practice is the first text to give medical practitioners and students the practical basics of PDAs and evidence-based medicine applications necessary for excellent, cost effective patient care. Offered in a clear and applicable format, this book covers information on the latest treatments, necessary equipment, basic software, reducing medical errors, and medical coding. Health care providers can review diagnoses, read about the latest therapy, check for harmful drug interactions, and obtain preventative information - even between patient examinations. Organized by an instructional case-based approach with an accompanying demonstration CD-ROM, this guide provides an interactive visual and auditory experience to accommodate all types of learners. A great resource to help medical educators, students and practicing clinicians integrate EBM into their daily patient care in a practical way.
Variation Principle in Informational Macrodynamics
Vladimir S. Lerner
The Variation Principle In Informational Macrodynamics (VP) introduces the process' integral information measure, which has a distinctive difference from traditional information approaches that use an entropy function. The VP's minimax mathematical mechanisms formalize the regularities of the cooperative informational dynamics, connecting randomness and regularities, stochastic and determinism, reversibility and irreversibility, symmetry and nonsymmetry, stability and instability, regular and chaotic dynamics, thermodynamics and informational dynamics, time-reversible and time-irreversible processes, reveals the information dynamic mechanisms of evolution and development. The mathematical formalisms and methods, implemented in the forms of computer models, algorithms and programs, provide new general tools for Information Systems' Modeling in such areas as biology, intelligent systems, computer and information technology, including communications, data modeling and data management. Variation Principle In Informational Macrodynamics, with its examples and applications, will meet the needs of a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry, as well as graduate-level students in computer science, mathematics and engineering.
