Python for Beginners -...

Alexa Campbell

Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.

Neonatology - Care of the Newborn

Ava Westwood

Neonatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or premature. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival and well-being of newborns, especially in the first few days and weeks of life, which are critical for the infant’s long-term health. The field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common newborn illnesses to complex and rare congenital disorders, and involves the expertise of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals working collaboratively in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). 
At birth, the infant undergoes a series of physiological changes, transitioning from the maternal environment to the external world. This period of adaptation is a defining feature of neonatology, where the neonatologist’s role is to manage any challenges that arise during this transition. This includes monitoring the newborn’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature regulation, as well as ensuring the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and support. 
Neonatology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, with improvements in neonatal care reducing mortality rates for preterm infants and those with congenital conditions. Innovations such as advanced respiratory support systems, better understanding of neonatal pharmacology, and the development of sophisticated monitoring techniques have drastically improved the chances of survival for critically ill newborns. These advancements have also contributed to a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of prematurity, low birth weight, and other neonatal complications on development.

Where is My F***N Leg?!

David Macintosh

Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.
