Defibrillators

Making the Monster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 704min

The year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science fiction stories of all time. Frankenstein: Or, Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on Gothic horror and science fiction genres. The name Frankenstein has become part of our everyday language, often used in derogatory terms to describe scientists who have overstepped a perceived moral line. But how did a 19-year-old woman with no formal education come up with the idea for an extraordinary novel such as Frankenstein? The period 1790-1820 saw huge advances in our understanding of electricity and physiology. Sensational science demonstrations caught the imagination of the general public, and newspapers were full of tales of murder and resurrectionists. It is unlikely that Frankenstein would have been successful in his attempts to create life back in 1818. However, advances in medical science mean we have overcome many of the stumbling blocks that would have thwarted his ambition. We can resuscitate people using defibrillators, we can save lives using blood transfusions and we can prolong life through organ transplants - these procedures are nowadays considered almost routine. Many of these modern achievements are a direct result of 19th-century scientists conducting their gruesome experiments on the dead. Making the Monster explores the science behind Shelley's book. From tales of reanimated zombie kittens to electrical experiments on human cadavers, Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Mary Shelley and inspired her most famous creation, Victor Frankenstein. While thankfully we are still far from being able to recreate Victor's 'creature', scientists have tried to create the building blocks of life, and the dream of creating life forms from scratch is now tantalisingly close. ungekürzt.

Leben mit Herzrhythmusstörungen

Ein Leben mit Herzrhythmusstörungen verändert den Menschen, da er sich mit Problemen konfrontiert sieht, die er bisher nicht bewältigen musste: verschiedene Angstformen können auftreten, depressive Symptome sind häufig begleitend vorhanden und Erlebnisse im Zusammenhang mit der Herzerkrankung können vom Patienten sogar als Trauma eingeordnet werden (beispielsweise das Auslösen eines implantierbaren Cardioverter-Defibrillators). Das Buch vermittelt konkrete Inhalte, Tipps und Übungen für den Patienten und Anregungen für den Therapeuten und Arzt. Der Patient findet effektive Hilfen, die er sofort anwenden kann und die es ihm ermöglichen, seine Lebensqualität langfristig zu verbessern und den Alltag wieder bewältigen zu können. Für den Abbau der Symptome aus den Bereichen Angst und Depression sind auch Erkenntnisse zur eigenen subjektiv eingeordneten Lebensgeschichte (nicht nur der Krankengeschichte) und eine sinnvolle Bewertung derselben nötig, damit eine Veränderung der Situation erfolgen kann. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie dies gelingen kann. Die oft vom Patienten selbst nicht wahrgenommenen eigenen, als unerfüllbar angenommenen "Herzenswünsche" bilden einen bedeutsamen Punkt zur Veränderung der eigenen Sichtweise auf ein Problem.Die Verarbeitung eines Traumas wird mit Techniken unterstützt, die bei regelmäßiger Übung bei der Trauma-Verarbeitung hilfreich sein können. Die Techniken, mit denen ein Herzrhythmuspatient seine Krankheit besser bewältigen kann, sind anschaulich und verständlich aufbereitet und ermöglichen neue Sichtweisen. Der Aufbau des Buches beginnt mit den Grundlagen zum Verständnis von Herzrhythmusstörungen, es informiert, wie Angst, Depression und Trauma mit Herzrhythmusstörungen zusammenhängen und zeigt Hilfen auf. Anregungen zur aktiven Lebensgestaltung, Möglichkeiten der Psychotherapie und Psychokardiologie und spezifische psychokardiologische Angebote (konkrete Modelle ambulanter und stationärer psychokardiologischer Behandlung, Internet-Beratungsangebot für depressive und ängstliche Herzpatienten etc.) sowie hilfreiche Adressen runden den Inhalt des Buches ab. Dieses Buch richtet sich vorwiegend an Patienten mit unterschiedlichen Herzrhythmusstörungen und deren Angehörige. Jedoch bietet es ebenfalls Inhalte für klinisch tätige Psychologen und Ärzte sowie für Angehörige anderer Gesundheitsberufe, die mit kardiologischen Patienten zu tun haben.
