Ultrazvukové vyšetření a léčba dětského kyčelního kloubu
Poslední monografie o ultrazvukovém vyšetření dětského kyčelního kloubu vyšla před téměř třiceti lety. Od té doby se sjednotil princip vyšetření a prevence vývojové dysplazie kyčelního kloubu, došlo k výraznému snížení rtg expozice u dětí a rovněž díky včasné diagnostice ke značnému snížení nutných operačních zákroků.
Léčba a prevence vrozených a vývojových vad kyčelního kloubu u dětí má v naší zemi dlouholetou tradici. Systém současných kontrol, tzv. systém trojího síta, je jedním z nejpropracovanějších metodických pokynů a stává se vzorem pro mnoho dalších zemí. Došlo rovněž k úpravě věstníku — metodického pokynu vyšetřování dětských kyčelních kloubů – která v sobě zahrnuje nutnost ultrazvukového vyšetření kyčlí a podstatně omezuje dosud používaný systém rtg kontrol.
Snahou autorů je zavést jednotný systém vyšetření, klasifikace a návazné léčby vývojové dysplazie kyčelního kloubu (VDK). V nové monografii je uvedena také taktika léčby VDK dle celosvětových trendů a kapitola o vyšetření výpotku kyčelního kloubu. Publikace umožní správnou orientaci při vyšetření ultrazvukovou technikou a přispěje k časné detekci a adekvátní léčbě vývojových a vrozených vad kyčelního kloubu.
Publikace by měla sjednotit prevenci a detekci VDK – vyšetření u pediatra, ortopeda i na sonografických a rtg pracovištích.

The friends – each from a very different background – are living in a gorgeous terraced flat in their Edinburgh idyll. As they navigate relationships and the unspoken rules of flat sharing, the troubled world all around them seems rather distant. But in the nearby hometown of one of the flatmates, the Miners' Strike is bringing about a huge political shift. Despite their differences, can these six strangers help each other see the world from a different perspective? Is there such a thing as being too close? And what are the limits of love between friends?

'An extraordinary novel! Full of unexpected love, magic, heartbreak and healing' - Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
The Dread Sorceress Oneira has retired. She's exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions - a near-mythical wolf, a goddess's avatar and a feline that embodies magic itself - Oneira realizes that she's bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.
When she recklessly steals a book from him, Oneira inadvertently initiates a forbidden correspondence. Taunting notes and clever retorts reveal a connection neither has found - nor could ever find - in any other.
But Oneira soon learns that Stearanos, bound to a vile king, is tasked with waging war on the queen she once served. A relationship with him is far too dangerous to pursue despite their mutual desire - and yet, Oneira can't seem to stay away. A bond with Stearanos could alight the long-extinct flame of life within her . . . or it could destroy her entirely.

Alan Opts Out
After successful ad exec Alan Anderson bombs the biggest pitch of his career, he has an epiphany. His entire career has been about making people buy stuff that they don't need so they feel perpetually unsatisfied and less-than. After a lifetime of striving for capitalism, Alan is opting out.
He retires to the ridiculously extravagant playhouse in his family's suburban Connecticut garden (a classic example of something the Andersons didn't need), gives up showering, shoe-wearing, and purchases of all kinds. He might even read a book! This is all very upsetting for his wife Vivian, who is on the verge of being accepted into the insanely elite Queen's Anne Club - guaranteed to make all her insecurities disappear and her children popular.
But maybe everyone will want to buy what Alan's not selling? And, in losing his ambition, might he find what we're all looking for?
For anyone who has ever cared more about how it looked than how it felt, ALAN OPTS OUT is a hilarious take on consumerism, capitalism and wellness.

They share everything, from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shaz's bolder plots; or that Shaz, who comes from a rougher end of town, feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni; or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace - their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another, a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart.

Imagine an ancient tree by a famous shrine, so powerful that visitors come from far and wide to commune with it by moonlight .
When a run of bad luck lands Reito in prison, about to be sentenced, a distant aunt he has never met offers him a surprising way out: he must become the next keeper of the camphor tree.
In his strange new job, Reito welcomes the people coming by nightfall to commune with the tree, all of whom are lost and all in need of something. There is the stern, middle-aged man who hums to the tree for hours; and his glamorous daughter, who has been secretly following him. Then there is the rich, disaffected young man who seems to come grudgingly, with no faith that the tree will even help.
What is the secret of the camphor tree? Can its power be more than just a myth?
Reito begs his aunt Chifune to explain, but she assures him that when he is ready for them, the answers will come to him.
