【前言】站在護理師的角度第六大身體評估──視覺化評估：護理師像運用聽診器一樣使用超音波真田弘美時光飛逝下，上一本著作《超音波護理實務！超音波的判讀與應用》出版至今已六年。這段期間無論是我個人或是社會都有大事發生。就我個人而言，從我任職於金澤大學開始，長達三十年以上的醫療團隊夥伴西村元一醫師，在凌雲壯志下的五十八歲離開人世。長期推廣護理超音波的西村醫師是上一本著作的共同編輯。失去他對身為護理師的我們來說真的是一大衝擊。另一方面，那個時候的我剛好參與了將自主排尿指導費納入保險的相關工作，並提出由護理師填寫排尿日誌和測餘尿量列為給付條件。傳統測餘尿量的黃金標準方式是藉由置入導尿管測量之。然而有鑑於這麼做不僅有尿路感染的風險，還會為病人帶來痛苦，日本傷口造口與失禁管理學會（Japanese Society of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Management）建議引進能即時測量的非侵入性超音波。此舉使護理師能在非診斷目的下使用超音波的情況越來越普遍。有此背景加上第一線的醫療大幅從醫院轉為居家，居家護理師運用這類超音波視覺化技術，明顯為療養病人帶來了一大福音。而這得歸功於AMED（國立研究開發法人日本醫療研究開發機構）於2017年到2019年實施的資助計畫。換句話說，在居家醫療中最令病人感到痛苦的「倒嗆」和「便秘」問題，顯然在居家護理師使用超音波並透過ICT與醫生合作下，得以在家進行有效評估。包括生命末期前進食不會倒嗆，長期仰賴挖便的病人能在廁所排便，一再驗證超音波對於療養照護大有助益。考量今後的居家醫療，包括觀察心臟衰竭、肺炎、臨終期腹水、胸水等，在醫生的指示下使用超音波影像，能讓有護理需求的療養病人無需再等待。也就是當我強烈感到有必要具體實現讓病人無須苦苦忍耐的療養生活時，很幸運的我結識了這本書的共同編輯野村岳志醫師。超音波影像視覺化的意義在於，除了必能提高護理師的評估能力外，與其他專業人員，尤其是醫師合作時，做為溝通工具幫助非常大。野村醫師告訴我，日本正積極訓練護理師在急救現場使用超音波，在今後的醫療場域中，護理師將是關鍵人物且其重要性無人能比。我和分享這段話的野村醫生，以及我還是醫事放射師時就一起工作的藪中幸一先生，三人共同完成了這本書。內容包含第一章超音波技術的概要；第二章護理師從事療養照顧工作時所需的評估技巧；第三章協助診療行為的

杜甫一生的虛構自傳一個穿越了多個時代、多場戰火、多種語言的杜甫，帶著他的多重身影重返我們的生活現場。— 西川「世界偉大的隨筆家之一 」——《紐約時報》「一位隱蔽的文學領袖」My favorite essayist is Eliot Weinberger.His remarkable breadth of calm concern is impressive.—Gary Snyder (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 1975)­This is a book concerned with mortality, friendship, and regret.­The psyche looking back at its life. As such, The Life of Tu Fu sometimes feels like a poetic biography of my own life, or maybe yours.—Forrest Gander (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2019)溫伯格巧妙地運用拼貼手法，從杜甫一千多首浩瀚的詩歌中擷取靈感，將其詩句、意象與情感重新編織成五十八首全新的詩篇。這些詩篇猶如一幅幅流動的畫卷，描繪出杜甫顛沛流離的一生，以及他所經歷的戰亂與瘟疫。儘管時空相隔千年，但在後疫情時代，我們或許更能體會杜甫詩歌中那種深刻的孤獨與蒼涼。這部作品不僅是對杜甫一生的致敬，也是對我們自身、對苦難和對人生短暫易逝的反思。Drawing inspirations from a vast oeuvre of more than a thousand poems, Eliot Weinberger has deftly composed a montage of ­fifty-eight poems derived and adapted from the lines, images, and feelings in Tu Fu’s poetry. These poems weave a tapestry of Tu Fu’s turbulent life and times of war and disaster.In the post-pandemic era, we may appreciat

If you’ve ever longed to start again, doubted your own courage, or simply needed a reminder that dreams don’t expire with age, this book was written for you.Step into my journey — and perhaps, into a braver version of your own.Cinnie是個看不出年紀的神秘女人，身上同時具備天真好奇與世故洞察兩個相反特質，有種把世界當成大遊樂場的開放心態，造就這本獨一無二的作品。讀者可以把本書當成求學遊記，你會看到她們在異國文化差異裡苦中作樂，也會看到她們在孤單環境中的堅韌和努力，細品她們對待每一縷溫暖善意的感恩，更會看到一位媽媽對孩子最深刻、最廣袤、無邊無際的永恆親情。這是一本為了女兒才存在的書，而我們何其有幸，得以透過Cinnie的細膩觀察和溫柔文字，一起進入這個讓人跟著劇情心情起伏跌宕，又哭又笑的幸福時空中。——鄧心彤（耕己出版總編輯）

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges.
