Siittiökato : mikä meitä ympäristössä oikeasti uhkaa? / Jouko Tuomisto.
Siittiökato – Mikä meitä ympäristössä oikeasti uhkaa? esittelee havainnollisesti elinympäristömme monet riskit. Teoksessa nostetaan esiin sellaisia riskitekijöitä, jotka ovat terveytemme kannalta merkittäviä, mutta joita ei aina ymmärretä kovin tärkeiksi. Toisaalta teoksessa pyritään asettamaan kohdalleen ne riskit, jotka aiheuttavat huolta ilman syytä. Kuinka määritellään riski, kun monet kemikaalit ovat pieninä määrinä hyödyllisiä, mutta suurina määrinä myrkyllisiä?
Sairastavuustilastoinnin kehittäminen ja OECD:n laatuindikaattorit Suomessa / Mika Gissler … [et al.].
Julkaisussa kokeillaan ensimmäisen kerran kahden uuden kansainvälisen tilastointimenetelmän soveltuvuutta suomalaiseen terveydentilan ja terveydenhuollon palvelujärjestelmän seurantaan. Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos (THL) arvioi eurooppalaisen sairastavuuslistan ja OECD:n kehittämien terveydenhuollon laatuosoittimien soveltuvuutta suomalaiseen rekistereihin perustuvaan terveystietojärjestelmään. Julkaisussa esitetään kansalliset trendit ja sairaanhoitopiirikohtaiset vertailut vuosille 2005-2009.
Hoitamalla hyvää oloa / Kyllikki Anttila, Tuulikki Kaila-Mattila, Suvi Kan, Eeva-Liisa Puska, Riitta Vihunen. – 14.-16. p.
Hoitamalla hyvää oloa on hoitotyön menetelmien perusteos, joka antaa käytännön valmiudet auttaa, tukea ja aktivoida ihmistä silloin, kun hän itse ei selviydy arkipäivän tilanteista. Kirja kuvaa ihmisen perustarpeita, niihin vaikuttavia tekijöitä ja niitä hoitotyön menetelmiä, joilla perustarpeista voidaan huolehtia ja ihmisen elämänhallintaa tukea.
Teos on tarkoitettu ensisijaisesti lähihoitajan ammatillisiin opintoihin, mutta se soveltuu myös käsikirjaksi käytännön hoitotyöhön sekä tietolähteeksi hoitoa ja tukea tarvitsevan henkilön läheiselle, perheelle ja omaiselle.
Kirjassa on otettu huomioon:
– lähihoitajakoulutuksen tutkinnon perusteiden uudistuminen
– hoitotietojen systemaattinen kirjaaminen FinCC-luokituksen avulla
– potilaan näkökulma
– ammattiosaamisen näytöt ja tutkintotilaisuudet.
Hoitotyön taidot ja toiminnot / Hanna Rautava-Nurmi… [et al.]
Hoitotyön taidot ja toiminnot -kirja kattaa sairaanhoitajan ammatillisen osaamisen perusteet.

Hoitotyön toiminnot on jäsennelty rakenteisen kirjaamisen komponentteihin, joten kirja auttaa myös tehdyn työn dokumentoinnissa.
Kirjassa on käytännönläheisiä
– vinkkejä tiedonhakuun ja ajankohtaisiin hoitotieteen tutkimuksiin
– toimintaohjeita hoitotoimiin
– esimerkkejä hoitotyön prosessin eri vaiheista ja hoitosuunnitelman tekemisestä.
Teos on suunnattu sairaanhoitajaopiskelijoille, mutta se toimii myös hoitotyön ammattilaisten käsikirjana.

Pediatric neuroimaging / editors, A. James Barkovich, Charles Raybaud. – Fifth Edition.
The thoroughly updated Fifth Edition of Pediatric Neuroimaging is a highly illustrated text-reference that describes and illustrates the full range of pediatric disorders diagnosable by modern neuroimaging. Covering the diagnosis of brain, spinal, and head and neck disorders in the pediatric patient, the text is rooted in the principle that the proper interpretation of studies requires the acquisition of high-quality images and an understanding of the basic concepts of neuroembryology, normal development, and pathophysiology. Much coverage is given to the disorders seen in everyday practice. The emphasis is on CT and MRI, which are the optimal imaging modalities in children.
The first two chapters describe useful imaging techniques in this patient population and the imaging manifestations of normal development, to distinguish that from manifestations of disease. The final ten chapters of the book are divided by groups of diseases, with numerous drawings and images that illuminate the underlying pathologic and embryologic/genetic bases of each disorder. The goal is provide a basic approach to groups of diseases, then offer detailed information about the clinical manifestations, underlying biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and/or pathology of specific disorders.
The book incorporates the essential concepts for obtaining good images and understanding normal development, which helps the reader to distinguish normal developmental changes from disease.

Epigenetic alterations in oncogenesis / Adam R. Karpf, editor.
The purpose of this book is to provide an up to date review of the nature and consequences of epigenetic changes in cancer. Epigenetics literally means “above” genetics, and consists of heritable gene expression or other phenotypic states not accounted for by DNA base sequence. Epigenetic changes are now known to make a large contribution to various aspects of tumorigenesis. These changes include alterations in global and promoter specific DNA methylation, activating and repressive histone modifications, and changes in higher order chromatin structures. Each of these topics will be covered in this book.

Biology and regulation of blood-tissue barriers / edited by C. Yan Cheng.
This book was written by many outstanding investigators who have spent decades to study different aspects of blood‑tissue barrier function. They have summarized some of the latest and fascinating development in their fields of research including the blood‑brain barrier, the blood‑retinal barrier, the gut barrier, the blood‑biliary barrier, the blood‑follicle barrier, the blood‑epididymis barrier, the blood‑testis barrier, the tight junction barrier in general as well as barriers in the female reproductive tract. Included are also chapters that focus on topics that are physiologically applicable to all blood‑tissue barriers. Many of these chapters also include information on specific human diseases, such as pathological changes of the gut barrier that cause bowel disorders resulting from inflammation of the epithelial lining in the intestine, and infertility in men as a result of disruption of the blood‑epididymal and/or blood‑testis barriers; and on new therapeutic approaches (e.g., drug delivery across the blood‑brain and the blood‑retinal barriers).
Complement therapeutics / John D. Lambris, V. Michael Holers, Daniel Ricklin, editors.
This book highlights progress and trends in the rapidly evolving field of complement-related drug discovery and spotlights examples of clinical applications. As an integral part of innate immunity and critical mediator in homeostatic and inflammatory processes, the human complement system has been identified as contributor to a large number of disorders including ocular, cardiovascular, metabolic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases as well as in ischemia/reperfusion injury, cancer and sepsis. In addition, complement is often involved in adverse immune reactions to biomaterials, cell and organ transplants or drug delivery systems. Although the complement cascade with its close to 50 extracellular protein targets has long been recognized as an attractive system for therapeutic modulation, the past few years have seen a particularly strong boost in interest. Fueled by novel research insight and the marketing of the first complement-targeted drugs, a plethora of highly creative treatment approaches and potent drug candidates have recently emerged and are currently evaluated in disease models and clinical trials.
The chapters in this book cover a wide range of topics related to the development of complement therapeutics, ranging from the molecular and functional description of complement targets to the presentation of novel inhibitors, improved treatment strategies as well as examples of disease models and clinical applications. The broad and up-to-date overview on a highly versatile and dynamic field renders this book an indispensable source of information for researchers and clinicians dealing with therapeutic and disease-related aspects of the human complement system.
