  Anesthesiology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on pain management, patient sedation, and vital function monitoring during surgical and medical procedures. It plays a crucial role in ensuring patient comfort, safety, and procedural success. Modern anesthesiology has evolved significantly from its early days when crude methods were used to alleviate pain. Today, anesthesiologists employ advanced drugs, monitoring systems, and techniques to provide precise, controlled anesthesia tailored to each patient’s needs. 
  The field of anesthesiology encompasses several key areas, including general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia. General anesthesia induces a state of unconsciousness and is typically used for major surgeries. Regional anesthesia blocks sensation in specific regions of the body, such as spinal or epidural anesthesia used in childbirth and orthopedic procedures. Local anesthesia is used for minor surgical interventions and numbs a small, targeted area without affecting consciousness. 
  Anesthesiologists are highly trained physicians who not only administer anesthesia but also manage critical care, pain control, and perioperative medicine. Their expertise extends beyond the operating room to intensive care units, pain management clinics, and emergency medicine settings. The process of anesthesia administration involves careful patient evaluation, selection of appropriate anesthetic agents, continuous monitoring, and postoperative pain control to ensure a smooth recovery.

  From the world’s foremost neuroscientist of romantic love comes a personal story of connection and heartbreak that brings new understanding to an old truth: better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."This highly accessible audiobook is not only a love story, but also an exploration of the bizarre functions of the brain that create physical and emotional connections between human beings." -AudioFile on Wired for LoveAt thirty-seven, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo was content to be single. She was fulfilled by her work on the neuroscience of romantic love—how finding and growing with a partner literally reshapes our brains. That was, until she met the foremost neuroscientist of loneliness. A whirlwind romance led to marriage, to sharing an office at the University of Chicago. After seven years of being inseparable at work and home, she lost her beloved husband following a devastating battle with cancer.In Wired for Love, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo tells not just not just a science story, but also a love story. She shares revelatory insights into how we fall in love, and why; what makes love last; and how we process love lost—all grounded in cutting-edge findings in brain chemistry and behavioral science. Woven through it all is her moving personal story, from astonishment, to unbreakable bond, to grief and healing. Her experience and her work enrich each other, creating a singular blend of science and lyricism that’s essential reading for anyone looking for connection.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

  Clinical Pharmacokinetics - The...

  Pharmacokinetics is a fundamental aspect of clinical medicine, shaping the way drugs are administered, absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. It provides a scientific basis for determining appropriate drug dosing, optimizing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing adverse effects. Understanding pharmacokinetics allows healthcare professionals to make informed decisions tailored to individual patients, ensuring safe and effective drug therapy. 
  One of the most significant applications of pharmacokinetics in clinical practice is dose optimization. Drug concentration within the body must remain within a therapeutic window—high enough to produce the desired effect but not so high that it causes toxicity. By considering factors such as bioavailability, volume of distribution, and clearance, clinicians can determine the appropriate dosing regimen. This is particularly critical for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, such as warfarin, lithium, and certain chemotherapeutic agents, where even small variations in plasma levels can lead to significant clinical consequences. 
  Pharmacokinetics also plays a crucial role in adjusting drug therapy for specific patient populations. Factors such as age, organ function, and genetic variability can influence how a drug is processed. In neonates and elderly patients, metabolic and renal clearance mechanisms are often reduced, requiring dose modifications to prevent accumulation and toxicity. Similarly, patients with renal or hepatic impairment need adjusted dosing regimens to account for altered drug metabolism and elimination. Advances in pharmacogenomics further refine this approach, allowing for individualized treatment based on genetic variations affecting drug-metabolizing enzymes.

  In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising. 
   
   
   
  Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet's rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called "surveillance advertising." He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance. 
   
   
   
  Surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.
