Pocket Guide Pain Management
In the United States about 50 million people sufer from recurrent or chronic pain, and nearly 10% of adults take medication for pain daily. Further, the disease burden of pain is expected to grow, relative to other illnesses and conditions. Despite the advances in pain medicine, most physicians are not - equately trained to treat chronic or even acute pain. As in other felds of medicine, pain medicine has long been dominated by expert op- ion relying on personal expertise, and only recently has a systematic evaluation of treatments in the terms of “evidence-based medicine” been performed. And also as in other felds of medicine, a lot can be achieved in pain medicine when certain basic diagnostic and therapeutic pathways are f- lowed correctly; more than can be achieved when only a few specialists are able to treat these conditions. “Standard operating procedures” (SOPs) are supposed to be concise practical aids for clinicians, standardizing treatments, diagnostic pa- ways and procedures in one of sometimes many possible ways.
PNF in Practice : An Illustrated Guide
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an approach to therapeutic exercise which therapists all over the world have found effective for treating patients with a wide range of diagnoses. The approach presented in this richly illustrated guide is based on the concepts set out by Dr. Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret Knott. The fully revised third edition demonstrates how the principles of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and aspects of motor learning and motor control (from "hands-on" to "hands-off" management) are applied in modern PNF evaluation and treatment. The section on Activities of Daily Living has been expanded with new photos and more in-depth text instructions. A new fresh design and layout highlight the clearly structured way in which philosophy, basic procedures and treatment patterns of PNF are presented.
Pneumologia interventistica = Interventional Pulmonology
Pulmonology has always distinguished itself from other medical specialties for its important and rich heritage of diagnostic and therapeutic instrumental methods, which have their roots in physiology. Scientific research and technological innovations of the last 30-40 years have provided the pulmonologist with increasingly improved tools, which have contributed to expanding his knowledge, skills and diagnostic and therapeutic potential. The term "interventional pulmonology", adopted by international and national scientific societies (ACCP, ATS, ERS, AIPO, SIMER), includes the traditional methods of diagnostic and therapeutic bronchial endoscopy in adults and children and medical thoracoscopy, but also the transparietal needle aspiration technique, the positioning and management of the thoracic drainage and the most recent TBNA, EBUS, autofluorescence, and others which constitute an indispensable part of the pulmonologist's cultural background. The application of these methods in daily clinical practice, together with other important diagnostic and therapeutic aspects peculiar to pulmonology has contributed to making the figure of the pulmonologist irreplaceable in modern healthcare.

PCR-based Detection of Brucella Species in Milk and Dairy Products from Syria Countryside as Surrogate Marker of Risk of Infection to the Urban Population
Brucellosis, also known as Malta or undulant fever, is a chronic, febrile, occupational disease caused by the Brucella bacterium. Brucella is an intracellular parasite that invades the phagocytes and causes a debilitating illness in humans that requires combined and extensive antibiotic treatment. This highly virulent stealth pathogen is transmitted by the consumption of infected, unpasteurized animal-milk products. Infection can also occur by direct contact with infected animal parts through cuts and abrasions on the skin. In animals, this pathogen causes sterility and spontaneous abortions, leading to significant economic losses to livestock production. The disease remains to be one of the most important health disorders spread worldwide and its eradication continues to be a difficult challenge.
Oyooni: a deep learning-based arabic assistant for visually impaired people
Since the beginning of time, visually impaired people have been relying on other senses to interpret their surroundings and function properly, using mobility tools and white canes to guide them. About a decade ago, their quality of life was leveled up by the advances in deep learning and computer vision that were able to achieve state-of-the-art results to assist blind people in daily tasks. Unfortunately, these progresses are very limited in Arabic language. Hence, this project presents “Oyooni” (Arabic for “My Eyes”), a voice-powered Arabic assistant, that introduces several contributions to the Arabic language community, and showcases four deep learning models trained to be used by Arabic-speaking users, in the hopes of helping visually challenged people detect Syrian banknotes, caption scenes in Arabic, detect color and recognize Arabic written text.
