Sindrome Coronarica Acuta, un nuovo modo di fare diagnosi, un nuovo modo di impostare la terapia = Acute Coronary Syndrome : Anew way of diagnosing and setting therapy
Aims to provide the reader with a concise yet comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the issue of acute coronary syndrome, in light of the enormous body of literature published on the subject over the past decade. Introduction to the concepts of electrocardiography and histophysiopathology, the nosological reclassification of acute coronary disease resulting from the introduction of new myocardial necrosis markers into clinical practice is addressed. It also emphasizes the need for physicians to assess the intrinsic risk of the disease by calculating specific scores proposed by clinical studies. Based on these new concepts, the various therapeutic approaches that should be implemented are analyzed, including both purely pharmacological and more "aggressive" approaches in terms of effectiveness. Ample space is therefore given to the use of new antithrombotic treatments and the choice between pharmacological therapy and invasive approaches using coronary angiography and angioplasty. a crossroads that sometimes puts the doctor in difficulty, but which can imply, if the options are faced rationally, a radical change in the patient's destiny.

Silverlight 2 Visual Essentials
Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser. It is a rules–changing, groundbreaking technology that allows you to run rich client applications right inside the browser. Even more impressively, it is able to host true .NET applications in non–Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non–Microsoft platforms (like Mac OS X). Silverlight is evolving fast, and you need a reliable guidebook to make sense of it.

Signal Transduction in the Cardiovascular System in Health and Disease
This book has addressed the contributions of several key signal transduction pathways which are central to our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. Aberrations in these signaling events have been suggested to be involved in a host of cardiovascular pathologies, such as cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart failure and hypertension. All the chapters have been written by well known leaders in the fields, which cover a wide range of intracellular events that regulate various aspects of cardiovascular functions. This book will be of interest to both basic as well as clinical scientists seeking to understand the molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases, and also to those interested in defining targets for cardiovascular pharmacotherapy.

Shipping and Globalization in the Post-War Era : Contexts, Companies, Connections
This volume highlights the contribution of the shipping industry to the transformations in business and society of the postwar era. Shipping was both an example and an engine of globalization and structural change. In turn, the industry experienced and pioneered, mirrored and enabled key developments that led to the present-day globalized economy. Contributions address issues such as the macro-level shift of shipping’s centre of gravity from Europe to Asia, the political and legal frameworks within which it developed, the strategies and performance of both successful and unsuccessful firms, and the links between the shipping industry and the wider economy and society. Without shipping and its ability to forge connections and networks of a global reach, the modern world would look very different.
