Une référence pour les professionnels des SI de santéLes établissements de santé connaissent depuis le début des années 2000 une informatisation galopante: informatisation du dossier médical et des fonctions support que sont la biologie et l'imagerie, mais aussi apparition de l'informatique dans des domaines étonnants tels que les systèmes pneumatiques ou la supervision des enceintes réfrigérées. Peu d'ouvrages abordent spécifiquement ces techniques dans le monde de la santé. Certes, il est possible de trouver des publications sur le projet de mise en place d'un dossier patient informatisé ou d'un PGI (Progiciel de Gestion Intégrée) couvrant les différents processus administratifs, mais peu abordent ces systèmes techniques, périphériques au coeur de métier et pourtant indispensables à ce dernier.Cet ouvrage traite des trois grands domaines relevant des systèmes informatiques dits "techniques" l'imagerie, les laboratoires et tous les autres types de systèmes, famille fortement hétérogène qui englobe tout ce qui n'est pas dans les précédents.Décideur, professionnel de l'informatique ou cadre, chacun peut tirer profit de l'approche multiculturelle adoptée par les trois auteurs, des professionnels de terrain ayant accumulé des années d'expérience dans les domaines concernés.À qui s'adresse ce livre ?Au biologiste ou au radiologue désireux de s'informer sur les systèmes d'information en lien avec son activitéAu chef de service souhaitant connaître les enjeux à venir dans son domaineÀ l'étudiant en quête d'informationsAu responsable médical ou cadre administratif en lien avec ces secteurs

Agir en homme de pensée et penser en homme d'action. Henri Bergson.

Zingiber officinale, often referred to as ginger, is the scientific name for the blooming plant-producing underground rhizome. The rhizome may be used both in the kitchen and in traditional forms of healing. It is a herbaceous perennial that may survive for many years and generates annual pseudostems (false stems made of the coiled bases of leaves) that reach heights of around one meter, and bare, thin leaf blades. Antioxidants and bioactive compounds are present in ginger. This book explores recent developments in ginger production and biochemical research against the background of current and impending environmental change.

Animal welfare has become a topic of serious discussion worldwide. Humane breeding has become an issue that has been given international attention in recent years. However, many people are still very unfamiliar with this concept. The foundation of humane feeding is based on AW. The main appeal is to allow animals to have five freedoms. When animal feeding meets these conditions, it can be regarded as meeting the basic requirements of humane feeding. The basis for the sustainable implementation of humane breeding is actually consumers. If consumers do not support the concept of humane feeding and do not agree with the price difference that should be paid for the production of humane products, then producers have no resources to put humane concepts into the production process. Therefore, only when consumers pay attention to humane production in terms of consumer behavior, more producers are willing to raise livestock and poultry in a humane way. As long as the insistence of both consumers and producers is satisfied, animals can be treated better.

This book presents information on the biology, ecology, taxonomy, and fisheries of sharks. The analysis of data shows that cartilaginous species, including sharks, rays, and chimeras, are by far the most endangered group of marine fish. Sharks are particularly vulnerable to exploitation because of their K-selected life-history strategy. Overfishing, wide use of non-selective fishing practices and habitat degradation are leading to dramatic declines of these species in most marine areas. In general, sharks are not targeted but are caught incidentally. In many fisheries, they are, however, often landed and marketed. Therefore, this book provides recommendations for protecting and managing sharks' stocks. A better understanding of the composition of incidental and targeted catches of sharks by commercial fisheries and biological and ecological parameters are fundamentally important for the conservation of these populations.

The biological and mechanical connection between muscles and bones is made by tendon tissue. The physiological function of tendons is to enable joint movements by transmitting the force of muscle contraction. Due to their connective tissue content, tendons have semi-elastic properties and are thus vulnerable to structural failure and inflammatory degeneration, both of which have extremely disabling effects, particularly pain and hampered joint function. This book examines the causes of mechanical and inflammatory structural pathologies of the tendons and related therapeutic approaches for managing these injuries and conditions.

Volcanic geology is a rapidly growing research field within earth sciences. It is a research field that provides the fundamental basic data to be able to reconstruct volcanism that generated eruptive products and the sedimentary processes acted upon to redeposit and rework volcanic pyroclasts. Due to the broad time and spatial scales over which volcanism takes place, it is difficult to determine the correct link between the preserved rocks and the type of volcanism responsible for their formation. Volcanic rocks represent geological processes that occur in a distinct and rapid pattern compared to other geological processes. This book provides insight into the problem of determining the scale of volcanism and linking it to the volcanic rock record. It includes comprehensive reviews and case studies representative of volcanism in diverse geological environments. This book provides a broad overview of the problems, complexity, and usefulness of the active volcanism-based volcanic geology approach to interpreting volcanic rocks in the geological record.
