Product Description
Bilingual edition (English-Spanish). This collection of 15 short stories explores the difficulties and pleasures of being a gay or lesbian Puerto Rican in a postmodern world. The tales touch on gay experiences in cities and outside of them, at times incorporating elements of science fiction, vampires, detectives, and fantasy with characters who live in the present and future. Alternating between humor and sadness, these stories are meant for readers who are not afraid of controversial ideas or taboo topics like sadomasochism, transvestism, prostitution, and pornography. Their style is intimate, sometimes experimental or metaliterary, with intertextual allusions to the work of other gay writers such Manuel Ramos Otero, Manuel Puig, and David Wojnarowicz. ...

The bes book on arterial blood gases interpretaton
This is probably the most important book you should get for ABG interpretation.It is very well written and easy to understand.The working examples are the best part of this book.In particularly, the last two chapters contains many excellent clinical examples.These examples are invaluable for anyone who wish to better care for their patients with respiratory problems.To gain a greater understanding of physiology of respiratory illnesses, you often need to work in ICU for 1-2 years.By working through these examples, you will achieve the same in just a few weeks and be as confident as the respiratory fellow who is supposed to know it all. Most textbooks will only give you theoretical stuff.These examples teach you the actual "how to" at bedside.More importantly, you will get a much better understanding of the physiological principles. Everything starts to make sense after you have gone through this book.

The Book
Yes, this is the book you need to understand acid-base. The secret is the easy to read and well structured approach. You will stop attending many lectures or workshops to understand acid-base.

Very helpful discussion of an important medical topic
If you could only read one book on blood gasses this would have to be the one.

This book covers the nitty-gritty about Arterial blood gasses (ABG).As a PhD who performs biomedical research, I have come across "experts" who resort to physiological babble because they dont know what arterial saturation is really all about.You will if you read this book.

The book centers around four classic expresssions: (1) partial pressure of co2, (2) pH (3) alveolar gas equation, and (4) o2 content.From these four expressions, and a little knowledge of clinical medicine, you will understand just about everything you need to know about ABG.Dont let the equations scare you off; you know them already.

The book is simple to read, and has example problems.The real-world examples/problems really help in applying the knowledge, which I found to be quite useful.The author does not go into deep biochemical details.But if you need a good solid introduction to blood chemistry, or have to review how to read an ABG report this is a great book.

Good for medical professionals but not for students
I am an RT instructor and I chose this book as a text book for my arterial blood gas analysis class.the students found it very difficult to understand and some of the formulas have been abreviated to the point that a novice will have trouble understanding them.This is a very good review for anyone who already has a general understanding of acid base, blood gas and electrolyte interpretation and can clear up some misconceptions, however, this book is not adequate for someone just learning the basics.My students were very unhappy and I wound up not using the text nearly as much as I had planned.

Essential for the ICU
I was given this book when I rotated through the ICU as a 3rd year medical student.I had gone through other training classes that attempted to teach me how to read a blood gas but I never could get it down right.THEN, Iread this one...it put things into the proper perspective and taught mewhat I needed to know when I was reading a blood gas.I highly recommendit! ...
