Major organisational disasters are not random. They are predictable. In the months and years before every catastrophic failure, before the Deepwater Horizon blowout, the Grenfell Tower fire, the Space Shuttle disasters, the Pike River explosion, the warning signs were already present. They were systematically unseen. Organisational blindness to accumulating risk is not a malfunction. In many organisations, it is the system working exactly as designed. This book explains why and what can be...

This is a unique book in that it brings together the two key investigative techniques in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, namely ultrasound and endoscopy. So often in the past they were regarded by their exponents as rival techniques but it is now recognised that they are complementary to each other. Consequently future trainees in endoscopy should become efficient in transvaginal sonography and vice versa. Ultrasound can be used to study the morphology of the pelvic organs such as the endometr...

Since the pioneering work of Donald and his first Lancet paper in 1958, the use of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology has evolved rap idly. The introduction of grey scale techniques enhanced our ability to identify different tissues on the basis of their texture. However, it was the introduction of the linear array real-time scanner in the mid seven ties that changed ultrasound from being an "eccentric art form" to a readily available and usable technique. This led to the first repor...

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.“Reasonably practicable” is the most important phrase in modern work health and safety law, and the most misunderstood.Used daily by regulators, lawyers, executives, and safety professionals, the term is often treated as a shield: something invoked after harm has occurred to justify inaction, cost-cutting, or silence. In reality, it is meant to be a test of foresight, decision-making, and moral responsibility, applied before...

An introductory chapter on Systemic Pathology lists out all important definitions. Clinical aspects of diseases represented in maroon screen boxes. Morphologic aspects of dise...

The fetal period of human growth and development has become an area of intense study in recent years, due in large part to the development of diagnostic ultrasound. More than 2,000 articles have been published in the last five years describing anatomy and pathology in utero, as reflected in sonographic images. Yet, no stan dard reference exists to correlate these images with fetal gross anatomy and at tempts to draw parallels from adult structure have often led to false assumptions. The di...
