John Wiley and Sons Ltd Foundations of Health Professions Education
Book SynopsisFoundations of Health Professions Education Research Understand the principles, perspectives, and practices for researching health professions education with this accessible introduction Educating healthcare students and professionals is critical to the long-term improvement of human health. Health professions education research (HPER) is a growing field with enormous potential to enrich the education of medical, nursing, and allied health students and professionals. There is still, however, an urgent need for a textbook focusing on the foundations of HPER that will help new and existing HPE researchers ground their work in research philosophies, evidence-based methodologies, and proven best practices. Foundations of Health Professions Education Research meets this need with a broad-based and accessible introduction to the foundations of HPER. Rooted in the latest theoretical and methodological advances, this book takes a global and interdisciplinary approach, designed to provide the widest possible range of backgrounds with a working knowledge of HPER. It promises to become an indispensable contribution to this growing field of increasingly rigorous research. Foundations of Health Professions Education Research readers will also find: An authorial team with decades of combined HPER experience on multiple continentsEducational features such as learning outcomes, illustrative case studies, discussion points, and exercises to facilitate understanding and retentionDetailed discussion of different approaches to HPER including scientific, realist, interpretivist, critical, and pragmatic approaches alongside a range of topics taking you through your entire research journey Foundations of Health Professions Education Research is a useful reference for both new and experienced HPE researchers, including postgraduate students studying HPER.Trade ReviewOne of the first things that struck me before even starting to read this textbook was the inherent difficulty in successfully explaining the somewhat nebulous concepts that underpin so much of health professionals education research. However, the book is structured in such a way that it successfully takes you from the conception of a study through to its completion and application. The authors made topics that can be considered dry (theory), interesting, and included topics (ethics) that other books take for granted. What I most enjoyed about this book is its broad appeal to early and mid-career researchers, as well as more senior researchers new to educational research from diverse healthcare professions. The book manages to strike a nice (but very hard to attain) balance in focus between targeting early career researchers, who may still be struggling with many of these ideas, and the more experienced researchers, who are also probably still struggling with many of these ideas. I particularly liked the diverse case studies, and many of the pause-and-reflect boxes resonated with my experiences of doing research. This is an ambitious book; well done! There is something in here for everyone - and I will be returning to it to deepen my learning. Professor Stuart Wark, Professor of Rural Medicine, University of New England, AustraliaWhat I wouldn’t have given to have this book a decade before. This book operates around what I will describe as the spirit and soul of HPER [health professions education research]. The terms and definitions are there, but with the nuance and context typically missing from ‘how to’ books on educational research. This book excels at not assuming anything, while walking the tightrope of not oversimplifying but still guiding both the novice and the experienced researcher on their journey. The result is the room for us all to consider a wide range of diverse perspectives and views before we, the readers, select what is best for us and our research context. With each turn of the page, the reader is guided towards learning more about the journey, and exploring how the travel experiences applies to an individual’s HPER hike. It is for this reason that I add a fourth ‘p’ to the book’s support of HPER – Purpose. Principles, perspectives, practices and purpose. This book helps you find your purpose in executing your research project, and the purpose in the theory and methods you choose. This book doesn’t just focus on when things go right, but also when they can go wrong. This book will make you think. It will provide you options, it will arm you with knowledge and prompt you to reconsider what you do and why are you are doing it. One of the biggest challenges in academic life is finding the opportunity to be creative and to be reflective. So many of us recognise the value of these skills, and lack the resources to undertake this activity. This book creates the landscape, the space, the guideposts to truly and deeply engage in the HPER journey unlike any other book out there. For this reason, I encourage everyone; beginner, developing, and experienced researcher to pick up a copy of this book and give yourself the joy of seeing, naming, and understanding the subtlety, variation, intricacies, and beauty of HPER.- Associate Professor Michelle Lazarus, Director of the Centre for Human Anatomy Education, Monash University, AustraliaTable of ContentsForeword: Foundations? ix About the Editors xii Author Contributions xiv Acknowledgements xix Chapter 1 Introducing Foundations of Health Professions Education Research 1 Charlotte E.

TFM Publishing Ltd Managing LONG COVID Syndrome
Book SynopsisOver ten percent of people infected with the COVID virus will suffer with long COVID syndrome. Up until now, more than one million people have been affected with this syndrome in the United Kingdom alone, and the incidence worldwide is estimated to be more than 35 million people, although this may be the tip of the iceberg. The World Health Organization has highlighted a need for the three Rs -- Recognition, Research and Rehabilitation. Long COVID syndrome can be frustrating and disabling, even many months or years after the infection; sufferers complain of fatigue, pain, post-exertional malaise, cognitive dysfunction and many other systemic symptoms. It can be challenging for healthcare professionals to recognise the disease and for patients who are suffering from the condition it can have a wide and far-reaching impact on their lives and day-to-day activities. Being a relatively new condition, many healthcare professionals, now more than ever, need to have the requisite knowledge to recognise and manage this severely debilitating disease. This book will be useful to all frontline healthcare professionals to help diagnose, manage and direct patients to the available resources. General practitioners, physiotherapists, pain therapists, nurses, surgeons, physicians, junior doctors, psychologists, medical students and other clinicians will be able to update their knowledge on long COVID syndrome with this easy-to-read book. Patients will also find the book useful to understand the basis of the disease and how they can seek help. This comprehensive treatise covers a wide variety of topics on long COVID syndrome including the aetiopathogenesis, recognition, systemic involvement, investigations, guidelines on management, available resources, systemic management and pain/fatigue management. This book will be handy for candidates preparing for various examinations conducted by the Royal College of General Practitioners, UK (MRCGP), Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK (FRCA), Faculty of Pain Medicine, UK (FFPMRCA), College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland (FCAI), European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EDAIC), Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FANZCA), World Institute of Pain (FIPP/CIPS), National Board of Examinations of India (Dip NB), and the American and Canadian board examinations, as well as other examinations conducted by medical boards across the globe. The author is a consultant in pain medicine who has published extensively on various topics and specialises in treating long COVID patients. He has written many textbooks in the fields of anaesthesia and pain, and conducts regular examination courses attended by candidates from all over the world. He is also a regular invited lecturer on the specialist subject of long COVID syndrome.

Oxford University Press Social Neuroscience
Book SynopsisThe field of social cognitive neuroscience has captured the attention of many researchers during the past ten years. Much of the impetus for this new field came from the development of functional neuroimaging methods that made it possible to unobtrusively measure brain activation over time. Using these methods over the last 30 years has allowed psychologists to move from simple validation questions -- would flashing stimuli activate the visual cortex -- to those about the functional specialization of brain regions-- are there regions in the inferior temporal cortex dedicated to face processing-- to questions that, just a decade ago, would have been considered to be intractable at such a level of analysis. These so-called intractable questions are the focus of the chapters in this book, which introduces social cognitive neuroscience research addressing questions of fundamental importance to social psychology: How do we understand and represent other people? How do we represent social grTrade ReviewTodorov, Fiske and Prentice have assembled the leading figures of the nascent field of social neuroscience in a volume that is rich with ideas and the data to support them. Using data from brain lesions, EEG, and fMRI, the authors consider how brain systems are organized to support social behavior. The text considers brain systems involved in issues such as racism and dehumanized perception, the distinction between thinking about the self and about others, self-regulation and the symbolic processing of affect, emotional decision making, the components of trustworthiness in face perception, and the fate of the soul. This book is very accessible and will appeal to a broad audience that includes scientists within related fields of psychology and neuroscience, but also non-experts who are interested in how social behavior is organized in the brain. --Gregory McCarthy, Professor of Psychology, Yale University "Social Neuroscience has revolutionized how people think about social behavior. In a collection of compelling rigorous essays, the leading experts lay out the foundations of this exciting new field. This is the cutting edge of science." --Shelley E. Taylor, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles "Social Neuroscience provides an up-to-date survey of key themes and findings, focusing on cognitive neuroscience studies in humans. Contributions from many of the major players in the field cover topics ranging from face perception, to stereotyping and bias, to regulation, decision-making and moral judgment. Especially valuable are brief synthetic commentaries at the end of each section. The volume will be an accessible introduction for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, and a valuable reference source for all investigating human social cognition. Importantly, the contributions all convey the excitement of the field and point to future studies, fuel for motivating the next generation of young scientists in social neuroscience." --Ralph Adolphs, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, California Institute of Technology "Social Neuroscience: Toward Understanding the Underpinnings of the Social Mind is an informative and valuable resource for a diverse audience and various professional fields- including social psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, medicine, political science, economics, and philosophy- as well as for laymen with an ardent interest in biophilosophical inquiry." -- Sigmund Hough, PhD, ABPP, Assistant Professor, Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School; Maggi Budd, PhD, MPH, ABPP, Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; PsychCRITIQUESTable of ContentsIntroduction - A.

Its use as a reference will be facilitated after an initial read of the whole book, which will also provide clinicians with a solid overview of the field... the strength of this volume lies in its brevity. I very much liked the short, half to one-page descriptions of syndromes provided in the appendix, and found myself reaching for this book more than once during the review process to familiarize myself with a specific surgical procedure or refresh my memory of a specific seizure type." -- Christian von Thomsen, Psy.D., Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA "The book Neuropsychology of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery provides a fabulous overview of epilepsy and seizures that includes diagnosis, etiology, and treatment, with a focus on neuropsychological aspects of the epilepsies and their management. The book is easy to read, and includes tables that nicely summarize a wealth of information...This volume is sure to become a core reference and teaching guide for the neuropsychology of epilepsy for years to come." -- Mike R.
