Music, cognition, and education
Alexander Khalil, Victor H. Minces, John Iversen, Gabriella Musacchia, T. Christina Zhao, and Andrea A. Chiba
While the prioritization of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is a logical step in the effort to develop curricula that meet the increasing technical demands of society, methods of training broad cognitive and pro-social skills such as communication, cooperation, attention and creativity are elusive, yet critical, to the development of a dynamic workforce and healthy society. A growing body of evidence suggests that the practice and study of music may be one such method. The present chapter examines ways in which the practice of music may support education by driving aspects of cognitive development while also calling attention to the fact that music learning, cognitive development and education themselves are inextricably connected to their socio-cultural context. This fact holds important implications both for scientific research on music and for appropriate implementation of music in K-12 curricula.

Serotonin syndrome
Julie A. Gayle, Jacqueline Volpi Abadie, Adam M. Kaye, and Alan D. Kaye
Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening syndrome associated with drug-induced changes in serotonin receptor sensitivities in the central nervous system. Mental status changes, neuromuscular hyperactivity, and autonomic dysfunction characterize the syndrome and can range from benign to lethal. Serotonin syndrome typically results from therapeutic use of two or more serotonergic drugs. However, commonly prescribed serotonergic drugs may interact with medications and drugs used in anesthetic and critical care practice to precipitate serotonin syndrome. It is important to identify the patient at risk, as well as the clinical features of serotonin syndrome should they develop. Prompt recognition of the signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome is essential for efficient diagnosis and treatment of this rare, yet preventable condition.

Essentials of pharmacology for anesthesia, pain medicine, and critical care
Alan D. Kaye, Adam M. Kaye, and Richard D. Urman
In anesthesiology, pain medicine, and critical care, practitioners at all levels need help to stay current with the continually evolving drug knowledge-base and trainees need tools to prepare for in-training and board exams that increasingly test their knowledge of pharmacology. This practical book is aimed at both readerships. It features a unique and practical chapter on the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “black box” warnings that describe what safety precautions should be taken with commonly used drugs. The editors and contributors are pharmacology experts representing a cross-section of clinical specialties and institutions in the United States and include pharmacologists, pharmacists, as well as physicians.

Drug-induced QT prolongation
Elizabeth A. Valentine, Alan D. Kaye, Jackie V. Abadie, and Adam M. Kaye
Abnormal cardiac repolarization, as indicated by prolongation of the QT interval on the standard electrocardiogram, is a risk factor for malignant dysrhythmias such as torsades de pointes. Qt prolongation in the perioperative setting is both common and likely underreported, as a minority of patients are monitored on telemetry in the perioperative period. Though QT prolongation may be congenital, the majority of cases seen in the perioperative setting are drug induced. Many different classes of drugs have been shown to prolong the QT interval, and the administration of multiple QT-prolonging medications may have an additive effect. It is imperative that the clinician be aware of which drugs commonly used in the perioperative setting may cause QT prolongation as well as the unique treatments for management of torsades de pointes beyond standard resuscitative measures.

Diagnosis for Physical Therapists: A Symptom Based Approach
Todd E. Davenport, Kornelia Kulig, Chris A. Sebelski, J. Gordon, and Hugh G. Watts
The first diagnosis book written by PTs for PTs that is based on how patients come into the clinic by their presenting symptom, not by organ system! A pioneering team of practitioners and educators address the growing need for PTs to determine whether a patient s condition is appropriate for physical therapy to identify the relevant underlying pathology and to ensure that a serious condition has not been overlooked. Practical, well organized, and easy to use, it's a resource that you'll consult every day when evaluating and formulating treatment plans for both adults and children.

Pharmacology principles
Alan D. Kaye, Julie Gayle, and Adam M. Kaye
Introduction An increasing number of procedures requiring moderate and deep sedation are being performed outside the surgical suite. As a result, qualified non-anesthesia providers are administering moderate and deep sedation to patients for a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic, and/or surgical procedures. Practitioners should aim to provide patients with the benefits of sedation and/or analgesia while minimizing the associated risks. In order to do so, individuals responsible for patients receiving sedation and/or analgesia should understand the pharmacology of the agents being administered as well as the role of pharmacologic antagonists for opioids and benzodiazepines. Furthermore, combinations of sedative and analgesics should be administered as appropriate for the procedure being performed and the condition of the patient. Policies and standards regarding administration of sedation and analgesia by non-anesthesia providers are addressed elsewhere in the book. The following chapter focuses on the pharmacology of the drugs most commonly used to provide moderate and deep sedation and their available reversal agents.

Anticoagulation and regional anesthesia concerns
Rinoo Shah, Alan D. Kaye, Adam M. Kaye, and Jeffrey Y. Tsai
Interventional pain management is an emerging specialty that uses procedures to diagnose and treat chronic pain. Most of these procedures are performed percutaneously and carry a risk of bleeding [1]. Regional anesthesia similarly uses percutaneous injection techniques for surgery, perioperatively, and postoperative analgesia. Patients undergoing these treatments may be receiving exogenous anticoagulants or have impaired hemostasis.
