Advances in Cardiac Signal Processing

Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies

This book deals with the acquisition and extraction of the various morphological features of the electrocardiogram signals. In the first chapters the book first presents data fusion and different data mining techniques that have been used for the cardiac state diagnosis. The second part deals with heart rate variability (HRV), a non-invasive measurement of cardiovascular autonomic regulation. Next, visualization of ECG data is discussed, an important part of the display in life threatening state. Here, the handling of data is discussed which were acquired during several hours. In the following chapters the book discusses aortic pressure measurement which is of significant clinical importance. It presents non-invasive methods for analysis of the aortic pressure waveform, indicating how it can be employed to determine cardiac contractility, arterial compliance, and peripheral resistance. In addition, the book demonstrates methods to extract diagnostic parameters for assessing cardiac function.

The Thymus Gland Diagnosis and Surgical Management

The critical role of the thymus in the immune system is becoming increasingly well understood. Much of this knowledge is widely dispersed throughout the literature. Although thymectomy is well established as a surgical procedure, these advances need to be made available to the surgeon. Furthermore, neurologists and physicians require a better understanding of the surgical aspects of the thymus. This book, written by selected experts, provides an up-to-date and concise review of the thymus gland for both the surgeon and the physician.

Population Mobility and Infectious Disease Population Mobility and Infectious Disease moves beyond traditional behavioral and demographic theories of disease diffusion to focus on larger issues of social ecology and public health. With depth rarely seen in the international literature, it explores the complex and varied roles of mobile, transient, and displaced populations in the worldwide spread of airborne, waterborne, and sexually transmitted infections. The book argues that while biomedical events cause disease, social forces such as poverty and marginalization magnify them by giving them new opportunities to take hold. Population mobility—either voluntary or forced—brings contact between populations with different disease prevalence rates; outbreaks in turn are compounded by inequalities in access to medical care. From Katrina to Darfur, and from influenza to AIDS, an expert panel of health and social scientists bring the socioeconomic context of epidemics into clear focus: Historical perspectives on migration, development, and [..] Features Compliments some of our upcoming books (i.e.: Evans Infections of Humans and Global Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance) Benefits from cross-promotion with some of Springer's social medicine and sociology titles Contents Foreword.- List of Tables.- List of Figures.- List of Boxes.- Preface and Acknowledgements.- Notes on the Contributors.- List of Abbreviations and Acronyms.- Prologue: Bridging the Divide: Population Mobility and the Emergence of Disease.- Demographic and epidemiological perspectives of human movement.- Part I: Key Themes Pertinent to Migration, Health, and Disease.- Population mobility and the geography of microbial threats.- Health barriers and inequities for migrants.- Social networks, social capital, and HIV risks among migrants.- Part II: Labor Induced Migration and Disease [..] Fields of interest Health Care Administration Target groups Sociologists, epidemiologists, researchers Type of publication Contributed volume

Behavioral Interventions for Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Before AIDS, the role of behavioral interventions in preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases was acknowledged in text books and journals but rarely promoted effectively in public health practice. Informed by a comprehensive knowledge of behavioral theory, intervention methods, and affected populations, the authors of this important book examine the central role of behavioral interventions in combating STDs. The book addresses the complexities and social contexts of human behaviors which spread STDs, the cultural barriers to STD education (ranging from conservative mores to "stay out of my bedroom" libertarianism), and the sociopolitical nuances surrounding treatment. Over forty contributors offer a practical appraisal of what is being done now and what can be improved, such as: an overview of current behavioral and biomedical interventions for STD prevention and control, a discussion of what works for individuals, groups, and communities, up to date thinking about such traditional [..] Features This field of study tends to draw heavily from the medicine.

Bacterial Fish Pathogens

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Disease of Farmed and Wild Fish

Current Concepts on Pathogenesis and Clinical Care

This 4th, revised edition of Bacterial Fish Pathogens fills the need for an up-to-date comprehensive book on the biological aspects of the bacterial taxa which cause disease in fish. Since the 3rd edition was published in 1999, much has changed in the control of disease of farmed and wild fish. Many more scientific articles about bacterial fish pathogens have been published, describing such new pathogens as Pasteurella skyensis, and antimicrobial compounds for the control of disease have been replaced by alternative methods, such as the use of probiotics. This updated book analyses all the new information, including that on new pathogens and new developments on long established diseases, such as furunculosis and vibriosis. Consideration is given to all of the bacterial taxa which have at some time been reported as fish pathogens, whether they are secondary invaders of already damaged tissue or serious, primary pathogens.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a classic female infertility problem affecting an estimated 6-10% of all women and many of whom are unaware of the problem. PCOS is the single most common endrocrinologic abnormality that affects women. It is a disease that affects women from adolescence to menopause. Patients with PCOS are seen by a variety of specialists, including: reproductive, medical and pediatric endocrinologists; general internists, and dermatologists. This book is an edited collection from diagnosis and epidemiology of PCOS to clinical evaluation. There are additional factors that complicate this disease, such as insulin levels and obesity. Women with PCOS are known to be at a high risk for type 2 diabetes.

An in-depth study is required to ensure the accuracy of both medical and engineering data. Where static, dynamic, temperature and impact loads and velocities/accelerations are unknown; they are evaluated using the material properties and fracture geometry of case studies. From the analytical techniques, a prospective study would assist in predicting the outcome of post-trauma damage. Generally, the book covers a wide spectrum of trauma case studies and could be used in medico-legal test cases. The medical opinion can be translated into the engineering analysis there by validating or invalidating the total medical decisions. Hence the engineering profession in many simple and complicate [..] Features Detailed retrospective engineering analysis of trauma Variety of case studies for bone and soft issue injuries Includes Computer-aided methods Written by a team of engineers and a medical doctor Contents Trauma and Traumatic Injuries.- Mechanics of Fracture and Dislocation.- Bones – Tisuess and Material Properties.- Material Properties, Clinical Data on Tolerance Thresholds used for Assessing Numerical Modelling.- Medical Test Case Studies on Traumatic Surgeries.- Medical Devices, Surgical Equipment and Methodologies.- The Engineering Analysis of Medical Case Studies.- Traumatic Injuries, Complications and Management.- Trauma Management, Safety and Health.

Invasive Bladder Cancer There are two main types of bladder cancer: superficial and invasive. The former is four times more prevalent than the latter. Superficial bladder cancers do not invade the muscle wall while invasive tumors do. Invasive bladder tumors have a propensity to metastasize and spread to other areas of the body and are more likely to be fatal than superficial tumors. Invasive Bladder Cancer presents state-of-theart diagnoses and treatments available for bladder cancer that has metastasised into the body in a full color book with over 40 tables and 50 illustrations. It gives a comprehensive review of the subject by a distinguished international team covering epidemiology, screening, diagnostic factors, surgery, chemotherapy and post-operative monitoring.

Frontiers in Regenerative Medicine

The inability of the human body to be able significantly to self repair injured organs and tissues results in a considerable medical and social problem. During the last few years there has been incredible progress, and the achievements in experimental strategies for tissue regeneration, particularly in cell transplantation and stem cell research, have led to potential treatment options for many otherwise fatal conditions. These innovations hold promise for treating or preventing end-stage organ failure; cell therapy and tissue engineering of viable grafts with the potential to grow and remodel could provide prospective new solutions to the serious problems of organ donor shortage. Regenerative medicine–stem cell and gene-based therapy–offers a new approach for restoring function of damaged organs and tissues. Several books have been published on particular aspects of organ and/or tissue replacement but none cover the major new aspects and field of regenerative medicine.

Laboratory Hemostasis A Practical Guide for Pathologists

Coagulation testing is the basis for the diagnosis of bleeding and thrombotic disorders, as well as the mainstay of anti-coagulant monitoring and management. The laboratory director requires significant expertise to manage the coagulation laboratory. This expertise includes the selection, validation and harmonization of analyzer/reagent combinations across health care organizations that often include physician offices, point of care testing, hospital laboratories and shared core laboratories. Pathologists are often responsible for managing a healthcare system’s coagulation testing, yet the basics of managing a coagulation laboratory are inadequately addressed in many, if not most, pathology residency training programs. In addition, there is no textbook to which residents or practicing pathologists can refer for assistance.

Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System

Einführung in die Genetische Epidemiologie

This book is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Each chapter of the second section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book contains a wealth of invaluable information.

Die speziellen Strukturen des menschlichen Genoms und die Regeln der Vererbung erfordern spezielle statistische Methoden zur Analyse genetischer und umweltbedingter Faktoren von Gesundheit und Krankheit. Dieses Lehrbuch gibt einen umfassenden und leicht verständlichen Einstieg in die statistischen Methoden der Genetischen Epidemiologie und deren Terminologie. Nach einer kurzen und einführenden Zusammenfassung der besonders benötigten Grundlagen der Human- und Populationsgenetik sowie der Studienplanung und Statistik werden die drei Hauptgruppen der Analyseverfahren zur familiären Aggregation, zur Kopplung und zur Assoziation ausführlich dargestellt. Abgerundet und ergänzt wird das Buch durch das in der humangenetischen Praxis wichtige Thema der Risikoberechnung.

Die plötzliche irrationale Angst, an einer schweren Krankheit zu leiden, hat vielleicht jeder schon einmal erlebt. Meist können wir uns mit rationalen Argumenten und notfalls einem Arztbesuch beruhigen. Menschen mit Krankheitsangst oder sogar Hypochondrie jedoch – und das sind immerhin 6-10% in der Allgemeinbevölkerung – leiden stark unter diesen unbegründeten Ängsten, und selbst die ärztliche Versicherung, dass sie gesund seien, bietet keine dauerhafte Beruhigung.

The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer

The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer

The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer presents a broad yet focused treatment of central topics in the field of clinical neurophysiology. This volume was inspired by the clinical neurophysiology lecture series at Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center and Rhode Island Hospital, where faculty and trainees at these renowned teaching hospitals participate in a lecture series over the course of the academic year. Much like the lecture series, The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer is designed to acquaint trainees with the essential elements of clinical neurophysiology.

With the appearance of the new combined clinical neurophysiology subspecialty board exam, trainees aiming for private neurologic practice need to become proficient in the entire gamut of neurophysiologic techniques. The Clinical Neurophysiology Primer meets these needs by providing an approachable yet broad tool of clinical neurophysiology. Created as a primer, rather than an exhaustive comprehensive text, it covers the relevant bases of clinical neurophysiology providing the reader with a practical and useful treatment of a wide range of topics. This CD-ROM version, which includes the color images, is sold separately from the hardcover edition (978-1-58829-996-4).

Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer

Advanced Organic Chemistry

Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer provides a comprehensive picture of the dual role of host responses in promoting and inhibiting tumor progression. This volume represents an important investigation into the emerging intersection of cancer biology and cancer immunology. Divided into four sections, the volume’s first three parts focus on cytokines in the genesis of cancer. The final section describes the notable progress — both in animal models and humans — in demonstrating the use of cytokine or anticytokine therapies for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer brings together an impressive array of internationally distinguished investigators who are devoted to the study of cytokines and cancer. Together, they produce an insightful, comprehensive discussion of cytokines and cancer that will serve as the perfect reference for all those working in the field.

Since its original appearance in 1977, Advanced Organic Chemistry has maintained its place as the premier textbook in the field, offering broad coverage of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. As in the earlier editions, the text contains extensive references to both the primary and review literature and provides examples of data and reactions that illustrate and document the generalizations. While the text assumes completion of an introductory course in organic chemistry, it reviews the fundamental concepts for each topic that is discussed. The two-part fifth edition has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. Among the changes: Updated material reflecting advances in the field since 2001’s Fourth Edition, especially in computational chemistry; A companion Web site provides digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity; Solutions to the exercises provided to instructors online.

The proceedings book of the Biolox Symposium in Seoul is composed of 10 sessions and plenary lectures of the most current knowledge available in the use of Bioceramics and alternative bearings. More than 50 speakers with world-famous reputations from 12 countries come together to a total of 52 topics on recent developments in Bioceramic and alternative bearings in arthroplasty. Among the recent developments in the arthroplasty field, bearing surface occupies one of the most important positions. In Asian culture, sitting with crossed legs and squatting positions are more common compared to the Western culture. Because of such a different cultural background, in arthroplasty, impingement and wearing of liner are more important problems. With this point of view, the interest about bioceramic and alternative bearing is increasing. The written version of the scientific program will allow you to carry home a more concise view of the Symposium presentations.

Baruch A. Brody has been one of the most important voices in bioethics over the last several decades, asking new and challenging questions about a range of problems, examining recalcitrant issues in novel ways, always with the goal of offering practical solutions to complex problems. This volume presents a sustained philosophical analysis of Brody’s contributions to biomedical ethics. The essays in this volume compass epistemological, methodological, and topical contributions to bioethics, including both application and criticism of Brody’s normative moral theory – pluralistic casuistry – Jewish medical ethics, human embryo transfer, medical futility, life and death decisions in pediatrics, euthanasia and endof-life decision-making, the obligations of clinical researchers toward study participants, and professional integrity. Done well, philosophical work can clarify complex issues, facilitate creative problem solving, and lead to real-world solutions to difficult situations.

Wildlife and Emerging Zoonotic Diseases: The Biology, Circumstances and Consequences of Cross-Species Transmission This volume provides an overview of the processes of zoonotic viral emergence, the intricacies of host/virus interactions, and the distinct role of biological transitions and modifying factors. The process of emergence is conceptualized as two transition stages which are common and required for all disease emergence, (1) human contact with the infectious agent and (2) cross-species transmission of the agent, and two transition stages which are not required for emergence and appear unavailable to many zoonotic pathogens, (3) sustained human-tohuman transmission and (4) genetic adaptation to the human host. The latter two transitions are presumably prerequisites for the pandemic emergence of a pathogen. The themes introduced herein are amplified and explored in detail by the contributors to this volume. Each author explores the mechanisms and unique circumstances by which evolution, biology, history, and current context have contrived to drive the emergence of different zoonotic agents by a series [..] Fields of interest Virology; Infectious Diseases; Tropical Medicine Target groups Researchers and scientists in the fields of virology and veterinary sciences Type of publication Monograph

Small bowel obstruction is a common but difficult clinical problem in terms of appropriate diagnosis and timely management. In clinical practice, radiologists play a key role in the assessment of small bowel obstruction and can guide physicians toward appropriate and timely management of the many indeterminate cases and situations. However, to understand and connect the pathophysiology to the imaging features remains the most difficult task radiologists face in their clinical activity. The aim of this book is connect pathophysiology to imaging using many illustrations and examples, emphasizing the capabilities and limitations of multidetector computed tomography and its role in the correct management approach to these disorders. Furthermore, the place of allied imaging modalities (plain film and ultrasound) in the clinical algorithm is comprehensively illustrated.

9-Borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane (9-BBN)

9-Borabicyclo [3.3.1]nonane, a commercially available reagent, is the most versatile hydroborating reagent to synthesize organoboranes (B-R-9-BBN). The reagent exhibits remarkable regio-, chemo-, and stereoselectivity during hydroboration reactions. The organoboranes can be converted to C-H, C-O, C-N, C-S, C-halogen, C-metal and above all C-C bonds. In addition, the suitable substituted / unsaturated R of B-R-9-BBN can be utilized to produce dienes, enynes, allenes etc. with defined stereochemistry. 9BBN’s derivatives have been elegantly used for the asymmetric reduction of ketone moiety. Diels-Alder and Suzuki reactions have expanded the utility of 9BBN for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds required for industry. Consequently, this vast field in the form of a book will be helpful to synthetic organic chemists for easy access to literature, required for chemical transformations.

It provides upto-date information on new developments in the field of chronic hepatitis and its various entities. In recent decades we have learned how heterogeneous the clinical entity of chronic hepatitis has become. The liver, as the central organ of metabolism and detoxification, is more than ever a target of disease processes evolving from the spread of obesity in the western world. Apart from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcoholic liver disease is still the most prevalent liver disease in the west. Alcohol-induced liver disease exhibits a broad clinical spectrum from alcoholic steatohepatitis to cirrhosis. Alcoholic hepatitis is a disease entity with a particular poor prognosis.

Targeted Therapies in Cancer From its introduction, oncological chemotherapy has been encumbered by its poor selectivity because most antiproliferative drugs are toxic not only to tumor cells but also to important populations of the body’s non-neoplastic cells. The resultant problems with unwanted side effects are compounded by difficulties in predicting the desired effectivity of chemotherapy in individual patients. This unsatisfactory situation has driven intensive research and development towards more specific and less toxic anticancer drugs over the last few decades. Several results of these efforts have reached the clinic and an even greater number are now in preclinical testing. Common to all these targeted therapies is their interaction with defined molecules present on cancer cells, which adds various degrees of increased selectivity to their toxic effects. As a consequence, detecting the target molecule on tumors before therapy holds great diagnostic potential for predicting the efficacy of the drug and personalizing [..]

On Scene: New Challenges for First Responders and Civil Protection

This book provides information about how leading agencies across the NATO membership are preparing to confront and respond to terrorists deploying Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Weapons of Mass Killing (WMK) and Weapons of Mass Disruption (WMDi). Based on contributions by experts from NATO member states, Israel and the Russian Federation, this book offers information on fourth generation warfare as a new challenge to first responders. It also provides a variety of insights into methods for preparing for and responding to WMD-, WMK-, and WMDi-events, using new technologies and strategies. Furthermore, the book offers solution for restoring the community to functioning after such a major terror attack. Topics include preparing, planning, operations, equipment, training and unique applications of existing technologies for countering terrorist attacks against cities and their infrastructure.

International terrorism remains a significant threat to the peace of the world. Weapons using various materials and delivery systems have been directed against cities and infrastructure, and other materials are postulated to be usable within the near future. Some of these materials are unusual or exotic, while some are modifications of materials used daily for other purposes: biological, chemical, radiological, nuclear and explosive. These materials pose a safety challenge for first responders, slowing the response and potentially killing scarce trained personnel. This book provides information about how leading agencies across the NATO membership are preparing to confront and respond to terrorists deploying Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Weapons of Mass Killing (WMK) and Weapons of Mass Disruption (WMDi).

Neurodegeneration in Multiple Sclerosis In multiple sclerosis (MS), conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) has proved to be a valuable tool to increase diagnostic confidence and for monitoring the efficacy of experimental treatment. However, cMRI has limited specificity and accuracy of cMRI to the most disabling aspects of the MS pathology, known to occur in and outside macroscopic lesions. Modern quantitative MR techniques have the potential to overcome the limitations of cMRI, and their application is changing dramatically our understanding of how MS causes irreversible disability. In detail, there is an increasing body of MR evidence that MS is not only a white matter disease and does not only cause focal lesions, as well as that neurodegeneration is an important aspect of the disease (since the earliest clinical phases), which is only partially related to inflammatory changes. There is also increasing perception that modern MR methodologies should be more extensively employed in clinical trials to derive innovative [..] Features The application of modern quantitative MR techniques is changing dramatically our understanding of how MS causes irreversible disability These techniques evidence that MS is not only a white matter disease and that neurodegeneration is an important aspect of it Contents Background: 1 Neuropathological Advances in Multiple Sclerosis.- 2 Neurophysiology.MRI Techniques to Assess Neurodegeneration: 3 Atrophy.- 4 T1 Black Holes and Gray Matter Damage.- 5 Magnetization Transfer Imaging.- 6 Perfusion MRI.- 7 Diffusion-Weighted Imaging.- 8 Proton MR Spectroscopy.- 9 Functional MRI.-Evaluation of MRI Outcomes: 10 Validation of MRI Surrogates.- 11 Defining Responders and Non-responders.-12 Predictive Models in Multimodal Imaging.Lessons from other Neurodegenerative Diseases: 13 Alzheimer’s Disease.- 14 Other Neurodegenerative Conditions.- 15 [..] Fields of interest Neurology; Neurosciences; Imaging / Radiology; Neuroradiology; Nuclear Medicine Target groups Neurologists, neuroradiologists, radiologists Type of publication Professional book Due August 2007 2007.

Eine Einführung in das wirtschaftliche Denken für Mediziner

Theory and Interpretation

Ressourcen aktivieren in der Psychotherapie

Das rationale, die Verschwendung vermeidende Handeln war schon immer eine Selbstverständlichkeit für Ärzte, Pflegekräfte und andere Mitarbeiter des Gesundheitswesens. Die Notwendigkeit einer expliziten Ausbildung in Ökonomik wurde diesen Berufsgruppen jedoch erst in den letzten Jahren durch die gesetzlich verordneten Sparmaßnahmen bewusst. Das Buch vermittelt als eine „Ökonomie für Nichtökonomen" die Grundlagen der Wirtschaftswissenschaft, so weit sie für das Grundverständnis der Prozesse und Strukturen des Gesundheitswesens notwendig sind. Es soll eine Art Ablagesystem entstehen, in das der Leser eigene Vorkenntnisse und zukünftige Erfahrungen an der richtigen Stelle einhängen kann. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Gesundheitsökonomik durch effizientes Wirtschaften Freiräume für verantwortliches, professionelles Handeln schaffen möchte. Die Gesundheitsökonomik wird damit zu einem hilfreichen Instrument für den Arzt, die Pflegekraft oder andere Mitarbeiter im Gesundheitswesen.

Twelve Lead Electrocardiography: Theory and Interpretation is a revised 2nd edition of Twelve Lead Electrocardiography for ACLS Providers, originally published in 1996. Twelve Lead Electrocardiography for ACLS Providers deals solely with the analysis of the shape (morphology) of ECG waveforms in order to diagnose many conditions not related to rhythm, including ischemia, acute myocardial infarction, and enlargement of heart muscle (hypertrophy). It is aimed at students who already have a familiarity with the analysis of heart rhythms. Almost all other texts of morphologic interpretation for non-cardiologists rely heavily on memorizing electrocardiographic patterns. Memorizing is difficult, and long term retention of memorized data is low. This book is unique because it leads the reader through a set of discrete building blocks of easily understood electrophysiologic principles, and then allows the reader to deduce what the 12 lead electrocardiogram will look like under various circumstances.

Positiv denken? Positiv therapieren! Die „Positive Psychologie“ und Wohlbefindensforschung ist in aller Munde: Erklärtes Ziel ist es, Wohlbefinden, Glück und Zufriedenheit, konstruktive Gedanken, Talente und Stärken bezüglich ihrer positiven Auswirkungen auf das eigene Leben und das anderer Menschen zu erforschen. Wie können diese Fähigkeiten, Stärken und Tugenden Wohlbefinden und ein erfülltes, produktives Leben auch angesichts von Stress und Lebensbeeinträchtigungen begünstigen? Und wie lässt sich Wohlbefinden im Rahmen einer Psychotherapie gezielt fördern? „Therapieziel Wohlbefinden“ zeigt Therapieansätze auf, die sich ganz spezifisch auf Wohlbefinden und menschliche Stärken konzentrieren - sei es Ressourcenaktivierung, euthyme Therapie oder Achtsamkeitsbasierte Therapie. Es geht dabei nicht um Alternativen zur gängigen störungsorientierten Diagnostik, - aber im Mittelpunkt steht hier das (Wieder)erlangen von Wohlbefinden und von „gedeihlicher“ Lebensgestaltung.

The objective of this book is to make its readers better informed and more critical consumers of clinical research to help them recognize the strengths and the weaknesses of scientific publications. In doing so, the reader will be able to distinguish patient-important and methodologically sound studies from those having limitations in design, conduct and interpretation. There are no prerequisites for reading this book. The text is basic and has no statistical formulas. Key take-home messages are listed at the end of each chapter. The large number of cartoons has two purposes: First, to make the text easier to read and generate a few laughs and, second, to underscore specific points, sometimes in a provocative way.

Macrosocial Determinants of Population Health explores social factors such as culture, mass media, political systems, and migration that influence public health while systematically considering how we may best study these factors and use our knowledge from this study to guide public health interventions. Starting from the dual premises that a population is not merely the sum of its individuals and that the improvement of population health is not at odds with the practical desire of improving the health of individuals, Sandro Galea and 33 expert contributors present chapters in three sections. The first section includes eleven chapters that each discuss one macrosocial determinant of population health.

The Papillomaviruses

Today and Tomorrow

There are now 8-10 million cancer survivors in the United States alone (up from 3 million in 1971). Multiple studies have shown that most survivors today were diagnosed more than 20 years ago. As this former patient population ages, the relationships between secondary malignancies, age-related onset of certain malignancies, and screening and prevention become increasingly important, not only to the patient population, but also to the cancer management team treating the patients. There are multiple resources available to serve as oncology textbooks, but nothing to provide the necessary information on patient care for the non-MD members of the cancer patient management team. Cancer Survivorship provides the necessary information about not only the clinical aspects of caring for survivors, but also the psychosocial impacts.

This volume will evaluate the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by infection with human papillomaviruses (HPVs). To date, more than 70 HPV types have been identified, of which over 15 have been reported in cervical cancer biopsies. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women; approximately 500,000+ new cases are diagnosed each year. Although investigations of cervical cancer are most abundant, the report also considers the possible involvement of HPV infection in cancers at other site of the human body.

nano Chancen und Risiken aktueller Technologien

Nanotechnologie gilt als Schlüsseltechnologie des 21. Jahrhunderts mit enormem wirtschaftlichem Potenzial. Scheinbar unbegrenzt sind die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Schon jetzt ist eine ganze Reihe von Produkten mit neuen positiven Eigenschaften im Handel, wie etwa Reinigungsmittel, Kosmetika, Sportgeräte oder Nahrungsergänzungsmittel. Neue Technologie können auch Gefahren in sich bergen. Viel zu wenig ist bislang über mögliche unerwünschte Wirkungen von Nanopartikel auf die menschliche Gesundheit und die Umwelt bekannt. Im diesem Buch geben eine Reihe namhafter Autoren und Autorinnen verschiedener Disziplinen einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung und Entwicklung und zeigen die Chancen und Risiken der Nanotechnologien auf. Physikalischchemische Grundlagen werden ebenso behandelt wie Fragen der Ethik, der Risikokommunikation, des Umweltschutzes, der Gesundheit, des Regulationsund Forschungsbedarfs sowie wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Aspekte.

Psychoanalyse der Lebensbewegungen Zum körperlichen Geschehen in der psychoanalytischen Therapie - Ein Lehrbuch

Dieses Handbuch verfolgt das Ziel, die leibliche Dimension im Wirkungsgeschehen zwischen Patient und Therapeut psychoanalytisch und psychotherapeutisch zu erschließen. Das berührt alle tradierten Grundbegriffe und Behandlungsprinzipien der Psychoanalyse. Viele namhafte Psychotherapeuten/innen bzw. Psychoanalytiker/innen nehmen sich dieser historischen Entwicklungsaufgabe der Psychoanalyse an. Sie führen die Leser an zahlreichen Beispielen verschiedenster Krankheitsbilder (siehe Index der Fallvignetten) zu basalen Formen des Gewahrwerdens, Erfassens und Behandelns. So öffnet die Psychoanalyse ihre Behandlungslehre für das unmittelbare Übertragungs- und Gegenübertragungsgeschehen und fundiert das Prinzip der Nachzeitlichkeit (etwas durcharbeiten, nachdem es geschehen ist) durch das Prinzip der Unmittelbarkeit (implizites Erfassen und Verändern von Vorgängen, während sie geschehen). Features Das unmittelbare Körpergeschehen zwischen Patient und Therapeut wird psychotherapeutisch erschlossen Zahlreiche anschauliche, behandlungsmethodische Anwendungen für Praktiker Methodischer Austausch zwischen Psychoanalyse und Körperpsychotherapie Contents Aus dem Inhalt Einleitung.- Grundlagen und neuere psychoanalytische Konzepte.- Psychoanalyse der Lebensbewegungen.- Analyse der Lebensbewegungen in der Gruppe.- Spezielle Anwendungen.- Weiterbildung und Ausblick.- Verzeichnis der Beispiele.Lit.

Ärztliche Handlungen bei extrem unreifen Frühgeborenen

Umfang und Grenzen der ärztlichen Behandlungspflicht in der Neugeborenenmedizin sind nicht klar umrissen. Sie stellen ein tabubehaftetes Thema dar. Insbesondere der Träger der Entscheidungskompetenz sowie die Entscheidungskriterien sind zwischen Juristen, Medizinern und Ethikern umstritten. Das Buch diskutiert disziplinübergreifend die Problematik solcher Entscheidungen zwischen Leben und Tod. Es wird die klinische Praxis dargestellt, die verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben werden geprüft und auch auf den ärztlichen Heilauftrag sowie das Straf- und Arzthaftungsrecht wird eingegangen. Kritisch betrachtet werden zudem ethische Lösungsansätze und standesrechtliche Richtlinien, so dass am Schluss Behandlungsgrenzen benannt werden und ein Weg aus dem Entscheidungsdilemma aufgezeigt werden kann.

Ever increasing resources are now being allocated for dealing with a wide variety of potential threats, from the reintroduction of eradicated viruses such as smallpox to the possibility of genetically engineered novel pathogens. Despite the potentially devastating consequences of the various projected bioterror scenarios, it remains remarkably difficult to quantitatively assess the actual risk in each of these scenarios. Nevertheless, such risk assessment is crucial for determining the appropriate allocation of resources for research and preparedness.

Despite the potentially devastating consequences of the various projected bioterror scenarios, it remains remarkably difficult to quantitatively assess the actual risk in each of these scenarios. Nevertheless, such risk assessment is crucial for determining the appropriate allocation of resources for research and preparedness. The public anxiety expected during a large-scale bioterrorism attack may even be more damaging than the direct effects of the bioterrorism agent, both in health-related and economic outcomes.

Targeted Interference with Signal Transduction Events Sequencing of the human genome and insights into signaling pathways have contributed to the understanding of cancer etiology and the development of new, improved cancer drugs. DNA mutations of a limited set of genes are responsible for the multiple stages of tumorigenesis and metastasis. Matching of therapeutic intervention with insights into the underlying molecular disease mechanism has led to the development of drugs such as Herceptin and Glivec. The deregulation of pathways due to mutated cancer genes provides the conceptual basis for future progress. Will it be possible to extrapolate this principle and derive more efficient drugs targeting cancer pathway components? Potential drug targets have been identified, but our ability to predict the consequences of inhibition of such components is still limited. The state of development of tomorrow’s cancer drugs, directed against growth factors, growth factor receptors and intracellular signaling molecules with kinase activities, is described in this book.

What it Takes to Sustain Consumer Health Informatics

As the Internet's presence in health care grows more pervasive, an increasing number of health care providers have begun to implement eHealth innovations in their practice. The interactive health communication system (IHCS), one such eHealth solution, provides consumers with information, informal support, and a venue for communication. Investing in eHealth: What it Takes to Sustain Consumer Health Informatics examines the evolution of the IHCS and the significant changes in organizational culture and operational systems that may be required for successful and sustained implementation. This book explores the development of a model (funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in 1998) to predict and explain the degree of success of such implementation efforts. This model allows an institution to benchmark its progress towards IHCS implementation and advises administrators where to invest resources to increase the chance of successful implementation.

Physik für Mediziner

A Life (Un)Worthy of Living

Eine Einführung

Reproductive Genetics in Israel and Germany

Physik spielt in der Medizin eine wichtige Rolle. Sie erklärt nicht nur, warum der Mensch trotz Schwerkraft gut durchblutet wird, sondern auch, warum Oberflächenspannung für die Tropf-Dosierung wichtig ist. Physik für Mediziner erklärt die Grundlagen kurzweilig, anschaulich und präzise. Beispiele stellen den Zusammenhang zu Klinik und Alltag her. Rund 450 Abbildungen, Rechenbeispiele und Praktikumsversuche vertiefen den Stoff. Das Lehrbuch orientiert sich am Gegenstandskatalog und die Testfragen sind nach Prüfungsrelevanz gewichtet. Auf der dazugehörigen Internetseite lehrbuch-medizin.de/physik finden sich Zusammenfassungen, Original-Prüfungsfragen und Links zu erklärenden Filmen. So ist die Prüfungsvorbereitung ein Klacks. Der Harten ist nicht nur für die Prüfungsvorbereitung geeignet, sondern mit dem ausführlichen Sachverzeichnis ist er ein wertvolles Nachschlagewerk. Medizinstudenten, sowie auch Studierende der Biologie und Pharmazie wissen den Harten zu schätzen.

Based on a variety of empirical materials the study reveals dramatic differences between the way that the German and Israeli societies address the question of a life (un)worthy of living: while in Germany, social, cultural, religious and legal conditions restrict the selection of embryos based on prenatal diagnosis, in Israel they strongly encourage it. A close comparative analysis of the ways that these two societies handle the delicate balance between the quality and sanctity of life illuminates the controversy around reproductive genetics in an original and provocative way. The study is also innovative in its use of contemporary social theory concerning the politics of life in comprehending the differences between two societies positioned at opposite extremes in their adoption of reproductive genetics. It thus offers an original cross-cultural discussion concerning present-day techno-medical manipulations of life itself.

Aging: The Paradox of Life Why We Age

Emergencies in Urology is a comprehensive textbook covering one of the few remaining white spots on the map of urological literature. To date only a small number of publications have been dedicated to the topic of urgent and emergent problems in urology – important as these are in our daily clinical life.Therefore the editors, both of them internationally recognized urological experts, have taken the effort to present an in-depth study into virtually every possible urgent urological situation with which a urologist may be confronted today. Consequently, the book includes chapters on topics such as urological trauma, urosepsis, urinary obstruction, oncological emergencies, intra- and postoperative complications, acute problems in children, and many more.To obtain the best possible expertise in such a wide field, renowned expert authors have contributed their experience to this book. They did so not only by writing the regular book chapters but also by delivering short stories about urgent situations [..] Features Provides a comprehensive review of all urgent problems in Urology The authorship is comprised of leading experts in the world First class drawings illustrate the procedure Contents Urologic Emergencies: Overview.-The Clinical Approach to the Acutely Ill Patient.-New Developments in Anesthesia.- Anaphylaxis.-Urosepsis.- Fournier's Gangrene.- Urologic Emergencies in Pregnant Woman: Special Considerations.-Urologic Emergencies in Children: Special Considerations.- Autonomic Dysreflexia and Emergencies in Neurogenic Bladder.- Failure of Urinary Drainage: Upper Urinary. - Failure of Urinary Drainage: Lower Tract. -Scrotal Emgergencies.-Oncologic Emergencies.- Urologic Paraneoplastic Syndromes.- Trauma: Urologic Trauma: General Considerations.- Modern Trauma: New [..] Fields of interest Urology/Andrology; Emergency Medicine Target groups Urologists; emergency medical practitioners Type of publication Professional book Due May 2007 2007.

For centuries people have been puzzled by the inevitability of human aging. For most of the second half of the twentieth century aging remained a mystery, or an unsolved biological problem. At the end of the 20th century a remarkable scientific discovery emerged. It was not a single discovery in the usual sense, because it was based on a series of important interconnected insights over quite a long period of time. These insights made it possible for the very first time to understand the biological reasons for aging in animals and man. It can already be said, however, that the many observations and insights that explain aging will not be accepted as established knowledge for a long time. The field is still full of scientists, and non-scientists, who are just happy to go on speculating about the "mystery" of aging. The aim of this book is to dispel ignorance by explaining in non-technical language what are the reasons for aging and the myth of excessive prolongation of life. Features The first overview of the topic written in non-technical language Because it avoids technical terminology, it is easily readable Covers a lot of ground that can only be found in specialised monographs or journals The author has a wide ranging knowledge of all the important areas of biology Also discusses ageing and longevity in relation to human activities such as religion and war Contents Preface.- Author's note.- Longevity.- Body architecture.- Maintenance of the body.- Causes of ageing.Ancient origins of ageing.- Mice and men.- How many genes?.- Evolution of human longevity.- Myths of life extension.- Doctors' dilemma.- Modulation of longevity.- Ageing and the angels.- Population pressure and warfare.- Dialogue between life and death.Road to discovery.- Resolution of the paradox.- Selected references.- Acknowledgements.- Glossary.Index.

Gene Therapy for Cancer The possibility of treating cancer, a disease frequently defined by genetic defects, by introducing genes that target these very alterations has generated tremendous enthusiasm. This enthusiasm, however, has been tempered by an increasing number of obstacles to successful therapy, including vector systems that do not reach systemic metastases, therapeutic genes with redundant mechanisms allowing for cellular resistance, and toxicities in clinical trials that result in premature closure.

The detailed and comprehensive observations presented in this book on acquired cystic disease of the kidney and renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients are drawn from the author’s nearly three decades of experience. Beginning with the first clinical case in 1978 and including subsequent follow-up studies and questionnaires, the volume is an excellent clinical reference for practicing physicians. As the author makes clear, it is essential that examination before operations for renal transplantation should include imaging of the original kidneys. Extensive use of color illustrations and numerous case studies assist the reader in understanding the nature of acquired renal cystic disease and renal cell carcinoma, how they are diagnosed, and how screening should be conducted for renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients. This essential information has never been more important than now, in view of the growing number of hemodialysis patients.

Acute renal failure induced by rhabdomyolysis after strenuous, prolonged exercise such as marathon running or mountain climbing is a well-known medical phenomenon, but exercise-induced acute renal failure after short-term anaerobic exercise - for instance, short-distance track races - has been recognized only recently. This monograph provides in-depth information on exercise-induced acute renal failure after short-term anaerobic exercise, which causes severe pain in the loin and patchy renal ischemia with no sign of rhabdomyolysis. Half of the patients suffering from this condition experience renal hypouricemia, for which approximately 20% are treated with dialysis.

Das Mammakarzinom ist die häufigste Krebserkrankung der Frau. Beträchtliche chirurgische Fortschritte der letzten Jahre haben sowohl eine günstigere Prognose als auch verbesserte kosmetische Ergebnisse bewirkt. Auf diese wird konzise eingegangen und ein Überblick über derzeit gängige interventionelle, resektive und onkoplastische Konzepte geboten. Neben den präsentierten Konzepten werden aber etablierte Therapien durch zum Teil noch experimentelle operative und strategische Modalitäten ergänzt: Einerseits ist es notwendig, Standards und Qualitätsnormen darzulegen und auf ihre Etablierung hinzuweisen. Andererseits ist das chirurgische Wissen - und darauf aufbauende Behandlungsstrategien – ständig im Fluss. Wesentliches Gewicht des Buches liegt auf dem, was über das evidenz-basiert Bewährte hinausgeht.

Congenital malformations are worldwide occurrences, they know no national borders, do not distinguish between races, ethnicities, rich or poor. These severe physical abnormalities, present at birth, happen more often than is usually realized, once in every 33 births. They strike every part of the body, limbs, head, heart, and all others. The most frequent of them all are the many types of malformations of the cardiovascular system, the heart and its blood vessels, which happen in about once in every 250 births. Study of these conditions during the twentieth century took many forms, revolving about examination and analysis of their causes, genetic, nongenetic, and complex.

Creating Intense and Curative Therapeutic Relationships

As cognitive behavior therapy becomes increasingly integrated, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) remains a rich therapeutic method. FAP synthesizes aspects of psychodynamic and object relations therapy with traditional CBT methods, and author/ practitioners Robert Kohlenberg and Mavis Tsai originally created this book to be more than a simple how-to manual. Rather it is a powerful framework for clinicians seeking to rethink their approach to the therapeutic relationship. Now in paperback, this classic work is more relevant than ever. The book begins with the theory behind the therapy (including its roots in B. F. Skinner’s behavior-analytic work in the 1970s), explaining why clients’ unique needs may extend beyond well-mapped routes to change. From there, the authors present the clinical principles of FAP and their uses in treating diffuse, resistant problems. Case illustrations model the therapeutic dyad, show FAP techniques in action, and offer crucial caveats. The ground rules: how, and [..] Features Provides conceptual framework not isolated techniques Offers a psychotherapeutically useful version of radical behaviorism Contains ethical guidelines Covers borderline, narcissistic and multiple personality disorders

Forensic Document Examination introduces the reader to the basic principles of handwriting and the factors that affect their development. The book discusses the basic concept of the characteristics of writing that are compared when making an identification or elimination of a writer. In addition, readers will be able to recognize the signs of forgery and disguise and to distinguish between simulation and disguise.

The multiple actions of estrogens on different cell types have not only intrigued endocrinology researchers but also inspired the development of selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, that modulate estrogen signaling in a cell type-specific manner. Current molecular understanding of estrogen action has greatly profited from advances in molecular cell biology to dissect the mechanisms of estrogen-regulated gene expression in target cells, from in vivo analyses using genetic models deficient in estrogen signaling and from synthetic estrogen receptor ligands with isoform- or pathway-selective activity. These advances, and their implications for clinical use, were discussed by leading researchers from industry and academia during an international symposium held in Berlin, 1-3 March 2006.

Ethische und rechtliche Aspekte

In der Debatte um ethische Probleme am Lebensende spielt die Frage von Patientenverfügungen eine wichtige Rolle. Mit dem Patientenverfügungsgesetz 2006 soll einerseits die Autonomie des Patienten gestärkt werden, andererseits der behandelnde Arzt klar und leicht erkennen können, welche Folgen eine Patientenverfügung hat. Neben grundsätzlichen ethischen und rechtlichen Fragen befassen sich die Beiträge auch mit praktischen Aspekten der Umsetzung des neuen Patientenverfügungsgesetzes, z.B. seine Anwendung für ausländische Patienten, sozialrechtliche Aspekte, das Verhältnis Patientenverfügung – Vorsorgevollmacht sowie haftungsrechtliche Konsequenzen. Vergleichend zur neuen österreichischen Regelung wird die Rechtslage in anderen Ländern, u.a. in Deutschland und den USA näher beleuchtet. Zuletzt werden sowohl die praktischen Auswirkungen für den behandelnden Arzt als auch die Funktion der Patientenverfügung im Zusammenhang mit der Hospiz- und Palliativarbeit in Österreich erörtert.

Most physical and mental health professionals will agree that their time, space, and funds are generally in short supply, even under optimal conditions. Their participants (clients or patients), too, will admit to similar deficits of time and patience, even with optimal motivation. Overburdened mental health facilities are trying to cope with limited budgets and overworked and underpaid personnel. Low-Cost Approaches to Promote Physical and Mental Health addresses both sides of this shortfall by offering either self-administered or easily administered verbal and non-verbal interventions designed to promote positive health behaviors while requiring little or no outside funding.

This volume opens with an exploration of the Confucian recognition of the family as an entity existing in its own right and which is not reducible to its members or their interests. As the essays in this volume show, this recognition of the family supports a notion of family autonomy that contrasts with Western individualistic accounts of proper medical decision making. There are analyses of basic concepts as well as explorations of their implications for actual medical practice. The conflicts in East Asian countries between traditional Confucian and Western bioethics are explored as well as the tension between the new reproductive technologies and traditional understandings of the family. The studies of East Asian reflections concerning the moral status of human embryos and the morality of human embryo stem cell research disclose a set of concerns quite different from those anchored in Christian and Muslim cultural perspectives. The volume closes with an exploration of how Confucian cultural [..] Features A detailed view of implications of Confucian thought for bioethics An introduction to why East Asian medical practice and the norms for human embryonic research are so different from that in North America and Europe Provides a detailed exploration of why the concept of the family plays such a central role in East Asian medical decision making A description of why the research ethics debate regarding human [..]

A concept and its system of implants, a method and its results

The author of this multimedia work sets himself an ambitious goal: to allow a surgeon to achieve the revision of a prosthesis without too many difficulties (or too much apprehension!) with guaranteed results if he follows the proposed method step by step, and this, even if he is not very experienced in this discipline.To fulfil this purpose, the author provides a clear definition of the press-fit concept (principles and practical applications) and from there, he offers a logical and rigorous method for, first of all, planning the surgery, and then, performing it.The written text is also available as a computerized slide show, coming with a browsing system in order to make a pre-operative planning, which gives real pedagogic value to the whole of this work.

Cancer Metastasis and the Lymphovascular System: Basis for rational therapy

Medizin A. Lerner, Rambam Healt Care Campus, Haifa, Israel; D. Reis, Rambam Healt Care Campus, Haifa, Israel; M. Soudry, Rambam Healt Care Campus, Haifa, Israel

Severe Injuries to the Limbs

Modern weapons and high-energy accidents inflict devastating damage to soft tissue and bone. The gold standard for stabilizing high-energy fractures is immediate external fixation followed by thorough debridement of soft tissues and dead bone and irrigation, since these injuries are always grossly contaminated. The next stage of treatment – the coverage of exposed bone by vital soft tissue and definitive skeletal stabilization and reconstruction – can be a complex surgical challenge. The protocol of staged external fixation developed by the authors: primary temporary unilateral tubular stabilization followed by definitive circular Ilizarov (hybrid) fixation, is outlined and comprehensively described in this book. The text provides guidelines for the young surgeon as well as the senior orthopedic trauma surgeon in staged definitive limb functional reconstruction. The rationale and advantages of a logical progression of surgical steps are explained and fully illustrated throughout, drawing from an [..]

Peyronie's Disease A Guide to Clinical Management

Staged Treatment

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedures have opened a window of opportunity for the study of micrometastasis. In eighty percent (80%) of metastasis there lies an orderly pattern of progression via the lymphatic network, while 20% of the time systemic metastasis occurs, bypassing the lymphatic system. During the past two decades, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the anatomical, functional, cellular and molecular aspects of the lymphovascular system and the metastasis process. · Molecular imaging advances help to localize early cancers more precisely. · Current status of the immune responses in the draining lymph nodes against cancer is summarized. · New paradigms of early cancer growth, proliferation, overcoming apoptosis are exploited in the development of anticancer treatment. In this book, basic scientists and clinicians exchange ideas so that laboratory findings can be applied to clinical dilemmas, and clinical problems can be targeted for research in the laboratory.

Previously considered rare, Peyronie's disease affects nearly 10% of adult men. Recent advances in woundhealing disorders have substantially increased the understanding of Peyronie's disease and its pathophysiology. In Peyronie's Disease: A Guide to Clinical Management, international authorities review the current nonsurgical and surgical therapeutic options for dealing with this fibrotic disorder. A variety of state-of-the-art research techniques is discussed, including tissue analysis, cell culture of fibroblasts derived from Peyronie's plaques, and animal models that attempt to mimic the in vivo process of tunica albuginea fibrosis while also providing an opportunity for manipulation with novel therapeutic techniques.

Asthma bronchiale und COPD haben sich zu Volkskrankheiten von großer medizinischer und gesundheitsökonomischer Relevanz entwickelt. Nahezu jedes 10. deutsche Kind ist von Asthma bronchiale betroffen. Nach Prognosen der WHO wird die COPD im Jahr 2020 die dritthäufigste Todesursache weltweit sein. Neben Genetik, veränderten Lebensgewohnheiten und Umwelteinflüssen haben Faktoren wie Geschlecht, Alter, Komorbidität, sozioökonomischer Status, Bildung und Arbeitslosigkeit einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Ausprägung, den Verlauf und den Therapieerfolg beider Krankheiten. Ein adäquates Herangehen an die vielschichtige Problematik muss mehrdimensional und differenziert als langfristige Aufgabe und nicht episodenhaft im Sinne einer kurzfristig angelegten Reparaturmedizin gesehen werden.

Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures An Atlas

Femoral neck fractures occur primarily in the elderly population, and nowadays arthroplasty is chosen most frequently as a treatment solution. In the era of financial restrictions in health care system noninvasive internal fixation is an attractive choice, because in addition to the lower immediate costs the rehabilitation period might also be shorter. In this illustrated atlas the authors deal with epidemiological aspects, anatomical and biomechanical specialities of the given region, diagnostic and management potentials, satisfactory both for orthopaedic and trauma specialists. By means of presenting minimally invasive technique step-by-step, and their own results, the aim is to persuade the reader that the ratio of complications remarkably can be diminished by urgent surgery, based on selective indication criteria. Aspects of postoperative treatment and rehabilitation are also clarified in details. The research team under the guidance of Professor Manninger collected experiences of 50 years. Features Comprehensive monograph of the femoral neck fractures Description in detail of non-invasive internal fixation More than 800 representative figures, xrays and drawings Contents Aus dem Inhalt Proximal femur fractures.

Thyroid Cancer in Clinical Practice

Pro und Contra - eine wissenschaftliche Diskussion

Besonders im Frühling haben Entschlackungskuren Hochsaison und entsprechen dem Bedürfnis der Menschen mobil, fit und gesund zu sein. Niemand scheint jedoch genau zu wissen, was eigentlich "Schlacken" sind. Eine einfache Erklärung sind nicht verstoffwechselte Produkte, die im Körper, vor allem im Interstitium oder der "Grundsubstanz" liegen bleiben und die weitere Funktionstüchtigkeit des Körpers beeinträchtigen sollen. Diese "Schlacken" aber existieren nicht als stofflich vorfindliche Substanzen, wendet die naturwissenschaftliche Medizin ein. Macht es also Sinn, von Schlacken zu sprechen? Und was genau verstehen die einzelnen naturheilkundlichen Schulen darunter? Ebenso ist das Thema der Balance aus Säuren und Basen im menschlichen Körper höchst umstritten. Und obwohl es pathophysiologisch keine Hinweise auf eine "Übersäurung" gibt, werden Produkte und Therapie, die den Körper mit "Basen" versorgen, sehr breit nachgefragt. Pro und Contra werden von namhaften Experten aufgezeigt und wertfrei diskutiert.

A concise and comprehensive review of findings and differential diagnoses found on the oral board examination for diagnostic radiology. Drawing on pertinent and key differential diagnoses, the authors have assembled and organized the diagnoses most likely to appear on the exam and illustrated them with essential images to reinforce the findings associated with each differential. Additionally, with each finding set is provided a mnemonic to augment recall of any missing components of the differential that would be considered important. Because of their concise presentation, many cases can be examined, interpreted, completed, and memorized very rapidly in a single sitting. Since the majority of cases contain prototypical representations of pathology, the book also serves as an excellent reference source for many years after the reader has taken and passed the oral board examination.

Orthopädisch-traumatologische Knacknüsse

Intervening in the Brain Changing Psyche and Society

The preceding decade has witnessed tremendous progress in clinical as well as theoretical neuroscience. In its wake, powerful new instruments of neuromodulation acting directly on the brain have been developed. However, few areas of scientific development seem to exhibit as close a connection between dreams of progress and nightmares of disaster as contemporary neuroscience. "Mind doping" is a populist slogan at hand, suggesting a deprecatory parallel to the practice of doping in sports. The present book subjects the whole range of questions associated with these problems to a thorough exploration. Extensive state-of-the-art accounts of the relevant clinical and theoretical neurosciences are followed by an in-depth philosophical analysis of the problems of personal identity and a comprehensive disquisition on legal and ethical questions posed by present and foreseeable future practices of neuroenhancement.

Therapie von Entscheidungskonflikten Das Volitronics-Prinzip

This book is a derivative of Dr. Miller’s well-regarded Cerebral Palsy and focuses on rehabilitation techniques. The book discusses the theory and techniques used by physical and occupational therapists, and also provides suggestions for implementing an Individual Education Plan. Tables and algorithms are included to help in the decision-making process for determining what treatment would be most beneficial. Chapters in section one deal with fundamental aspects of cerebral palsy management, from understanding motor impairment, to evaluating equipment use, to navigating the relationship with the families of patients. In section two, physical therapists cover specific rehabilitation techniques, including neurodevelopment therapy, hippotherapy, and assistive devices. On the accompanying CD there are more than 100 case studies, as well as videos of children with gait disorders.

Entscheidungskonflikte betreffen zumeist den zwischenmenschlichen Bereich und sind überwiegend mit negativen Erfahrungen verbunden. Sie bedeuten oft Unannehmlichkeiten, Stress, Leistungsverlust und Zerstörung. In diesem Buch wird ein neuer Ansatz vorgestellt, wie solche Konflikte therapeutisch zu lösen sind. Das zugrundeliegende Volitronics Prinzip beruht auf einem neuen biokybernetischen Hirnmodell und einer neuen Entscheidungslogik. Im praktischen Teil des Buches (Teil I) wird die therapeutische Vorgangsweise konkret und anhand von Fallbeispielen vorgestellt. Für die Analyse der den Entscheidungskonflikten zugrundeliegenden Intentionen wird eine modifizierte Freud'sche Traumanalyse angewandt. Die Therapie von Entscheidungskonflikten ist nicht nur für Menschen in Krisen, sondern modifiziert auch für Depressionen anwendbar, was sich von dem im theoretischen Teil des Buches (Teil II) dargestellten Hirnmodell ableiten lässt.

Congenital Diseases and the Environment In recent years, increasing attention and resources have been brought to bear on the relationship between the environment and congenital diseases. These diseases were previously thought to be mostly due to genetic causes. Even though the importance of genes as factors in causation is accepted, environmental factors seem to be implicated just as strongly. This book explores some further concepts that have arisen from more recent perceptions of environmental effects and their possible interactions with living systems. Amongst the topics discussed are:-effects of prenatal exposure to toxic chemicals-intra-uterine exposure to drugs-effects of endocrine disrupters-environmental risk and sex ratio in newborns-surveillance of environmental impact-research and policy. Discussion and presentation of old and novel ideas is targeted at developing a more holistic and united perception of the interaction between congenital diseases and the environment.

Primary Care Sleep Medicine A Practical Guide

Crib death (SIDS) is the most frequent cause of death for infants during the first year, striking 1 out of every 700-1,000. Scarce knowledge in the field of SIDS and its pathology has led to a continued and growing concern with finding an explanation, with the goal of being able to either predict or quickly diagnose the infant or term fetus. A systematic study of the autonomic nervous system and cardiac system has been performed on a large number of infants and fetuses who died suddenly and unexpectedly, as well as in age-matched control cases. The neurological and cardiac findings are described here, and the relationship between SIDS and unexplained fetal death is discussed. This book helps pathologists, forensic pathologists, pediatricians, obstetrics, and neonatologists in recognizing all potential morphological substrata and puts forward a well-researched postmortem study for use in a standardized autopsy protocol for use in all cases of sudden unexpected infant and fetal death. Features Based on a large number of cases Valuable help in recognizing pathological structures Provides a standardized autopsy protocol to be applied to all cases Contents Introduction and Aims.

What They Didn’t Teach You at Medical School During medical training there are certain tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the common reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school, but are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book will help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.

Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation

In the network of cardiologists within the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology there is a strong view that the time indeed is right to publish definitively on the methods involved in cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation. We are facing a transition from conventional cardiac rehabilitation to a phase of combined preventive and rehabilitative efforts, as witnessed in the recent Joint Task Force Guidelines on Preventive Cardiology. For this revision of our clinical routines we lack a practical textbook, based upon the conditions and resources of European health care. This textbook is designed to fill that gap.

Parasiten des Fischfilets Erscheinungsbild, Biologie, Lebensmittelsicherheit

In der Lebensmittelhygiene spielt bisher die Einschätzung krankhafter Veränderungen in der Körpermuskulatur von Fischen im Vergleich zum mikrobiellen Verderb und der Kontamination mit pathogenen Erregern und Umweltchemikalien eine relativ untergeordnete Rolle. In diesem Buch werden die Fischarten der Welt aufgelistet, deren Körpermuskulatur pathologisch verändert sein kann. Ganz überwiegend sind dafür Parasiten die Ursache. Eine Reihe dieser Parasiten kann beim Menschen nach dem Verzehr zu Erkrankungen führen. Die Lebensmittelunternehmer und die Mitarbeiter der Kontroll- und Hygienebehörden müssen das Erscheinungsbild im Filet kennen, um es von ähnlichen Abweichungen differenzialdiagnostisch unterscheiden zu können.

Advanced Bioimaging Technologies Immunotherapy in 2020 in Assessment of the Quality of Visions and Trends for Targeting Inflammatory Disease Bone and Scaffold Materials Techniques and Applications

This book provides a perspective on the current status of bioimaging technologies developed to assess the quality of musculoskeletal tissue with an emphasis on bone and cartilage. It offers evaluations of scaffold biomaterials developed for enhancing the repair of musculoskeletal tissues. These bioimaging techniques include micro-CT, nano-CT, pQCT/ QCT, MRI, and ultrasound, which provide not only 2-D and 3-D images of the related organs or tissues, but also quantifications of the relevant parameters. The advance bioimaging technologies developed for the above applications are also extended by incorporating imaging contrast-enhancement materials. Thus, this book will provide a unique platform for multidisciplinary collaborations in education and joint R&D among various professions, including biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and basic and clinical medicine.

This volume features contributions from participants of the ESRF symposium on "Immunotherapy in 2020 —Visions and Trends for Targeting Inflammatory Diseases" held in Potsdam near Berlin, Germany, in October 2006. The symposium presentations covered the main mechanisms of immunoregulation such as peripheral and central tolerance, epigenetic programming, immunologic memory, and regulatory networks in inflammation as well as novel experimental and clinical approaches for targeting inflammation in autoimmunity and transplantation. An important related question is how recent findings in immunological research can lead to improved diagnostics, new drugs, and better therapies. The targeting of novel pathways and immunoregulatory mechanisms, the challenge of immunologic memory for lastingly successful anti-inflammatory therapy, new approaches for adoptive T cell and polyclonal antibody therapies, and the individualization of immunomodulatory therapies are thereby topics of this volume.

Fecal incontinence is a frequent, distressing condition that has a devastating impact on patients’ lives. However, patients are typically embarrassed and reluctant to acknowledge this disability, so they relinquish the possibility of being cured and remain socially isolated. Since fecal incontinence may result from various pathophysiological situations, an accurate diagnostic work-up of each patient is fundamental. Today, a wide range of therapeutic options is available, but making the correct choice is pivotal to the successful management of this condition. This book is aimed at all physicians involved in the assessment and treatment of fecal incontinence. Its main purpose is to review the latest advances in the epidemiologic, socio-economic, psychologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of fecal incontinence, in order to establish guidelines for effective treatment.

This comprehensive and easy-to-read monograph is an authoritative update on clinical prostate cancer. It has been prepared by an international, multidisciplinary team at the invitation of the International Prostate Health Council think tank. The management of prostate cancer – the most prevalent type of cancer in men in the Western world – has been revolutionized by the vastly increased knowledge and new fact-finding research on its natural (treated) history, the new concepts on diagnosis and prognosis, and a broad range of valid, competing treatment options. A particular strength of the book is its presentation of the therapeutic options for patients with localized and advanced disease, including hormonal treatment. Medical and radiation oncologists as well as urologists will find an invaluable overview of the current concepts and practice in this rapidly evolving field. Contents Epidemiology of prostate cancer.

Vienna – A Doctor’s Guide

Wien für Mediziner

15 walking tours through Vienna’s medical history

15 Spaziergänge durch das alte medizinische Wien

"The streets of Vienna are paved with history of medicine," the famous Viennese writer and journalist Karl Kraus could have said. In fact, an attentive visitor can’t move through the city without being reminded by all the street names, historical buildings, monuments or memorial stones that Vienna has been a capital of medicine where students and doctors from all over the world came to learn. This city guide is meant for all the visitors of this fascinating city, who are interested in the history of medicine. 15 walks through the city show the reader the traces of the old medical Vienna: the Fools’ Tower, Freud’s private practice and apartment, the workplaces of many famous physicians, through the Old General Hospital, the old university, or the most important pathological museums. Many unknown details and anecdotes are included as well as a short history of Vienna and some gourmet tips and the famous Viennese coffee shops for relaxing.

"Die Straßen Wiens sind mit Medizingeschichte gepflastert." So könnte man einen Satz von Karl Kraus abwandeln. Tatsächlich kann sich ein aufmerksamer Besucher kaum durch die Stadt bewegen, ohne durch einen Straßennamen, ein Gebäude, ein Denkmal oder eine Gedenktafel daran erinnert zu werden, dass Wien einst eine medizinische Weltstadt war, in die Studenten und Ärzte aus der ganzen Welt pilgerten, um hier zu lernen. Dieser Stadtführer richtet sich speziell an den medizinhistorisch interessierten Besucher – aber auch Bewohner – dieser immer wieder faszinierenden Stadt. In 15 Spaziergängen begeben sich die Leser auf eine Spurensuche im alten medizinischen Wien: zum Narrenturm oder zu Freuds Ordination oder den Wirkstätten berühmter Ärzte, durch das Alte Allgemeine Krankenhaus oder zu den wichtigen medizinhistorischen Museen etc. Mit vielen unbekannten Details und Anekdoten bietet der Reiseführer auch eine kurze Medizingeschichte Wiens – ergänzt durch einen kleinen Lokalführer für den [..]

Infections and their complications are a very important clinical area in the intensive care unit setting. Community-acquired infections and nosocomial infections both contribute to the high level of disease acquisition common among critically ill patients. The accurate diagnosis of nosocomial infections and the provision of appropriate therapies, including antimicrobial therapy effective against the identified agents of infection, have been shown to be important determinants of patient outcome.

This book peels away the "veneer of certainty" which many of us attach to health risk and benefit information given to us in our daily lives. It was written and designed primarily to assist the public in comprehending and interpreting the uncertainty associated with the overwhelming amount of information on medical and environmental health risks. The book uses unique, visual presentations and case studies to explain the benefits of medical screening tests (e.g., mammography, prostate and colorectal cancer screening, cholesterol screening) and drugs (e.g., statins, Vioxx) and the risks associated with exposure to environmental contaminants (e.g., lead, dioxin, radon). This book will help patients and their families get more involved in making medical decisions, and citizens face critical questions about the environment. By putting the complexities of risk analysis in terms the general public can relate to, the authors are empowering people to make well-informed decisions.

Quality of Life Impairment in Schizophrenia, Mood and Anxiety Disorders New Perspectives on Research and Treatment

This book presents new insights that health-related quality of life (HRQL) impairment is a core domain of prevalent mental disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective, mood and anxiety disorders. The authors present a new conceptual framework for this field by explaining how HRQL impairment arises from interactions between various multidimensional factors. They suggest several ways in which further research could enhance our understanding of HRQL impairment, its biological basis, and its relevance to psychopathology. There is discussion of the current findings, issues and concerns regarding instruments for measuring HRQL, and quality of life impairment in specific mental disorders. Comparative data regarding HRQL deficit in these disorders and the clinical and psychosocial indicators of HRQL in each of the specific disorders are presented, and suggestions for future research are provided. This essay collection, written by leading researchers in this field presents a comprehensive framework for [..] Features The Distress/Protection Vulnerability model of HRQL impairment New insights from neuroscience Integrative approach to quality of life measurement Comparative data regarding severe mental disorders Treatment and Rehabilitation Issues Fields of interest Psychiatry; Clinical Psychology; Rehabilitation; Social Work; Neurosciences

More than 18 million people in the United States have diabetes mellitus, and about 90% of these have the type 2 form of the disease. In addition, between 17 and 40 million people have insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, or the cluster of abnormalities referred to variably as the metabolic syndrome, the dysmetabolic syndrome, syndrome X, or the insulin resistance syndrome. In all of these disorders, a central component of the pathophysiology is insulin resistance, i.e., reduced responsiveness to insulin in tissues such as muscle, fat and liver. Insulin resistance is also closely linked to other common health problems, including obesity, polycystic ovarian disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. In this book, we will attempt to dissect the complexity of the molecular mechanisms of insulin action with a special emphasis on those features of the system that are subject to alteration in type 2 diabetes and other insulin resistant states.

The development of the basic techniques of the specialty such as skin flaps, the grafting of skin and other tissues are followed throughout the centuries. In the Second Part the development of various surgical reconstructive procedures are described.

Handbook of Nutrition and Ophthalmology

Skills-Training bei Borderlineund Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung

The Handbook of Nutrition in Ophthalmology is the first general text on nutrition and eye health created for physicians, nutritionists, and researchers. Dr. Richard D. Semba provides important links between the epidemic of obesity and implications it has for eye disease and blindness. The volume addresses three broad themes throughout. The first is that a healthy diet as a major lifelong habit will likely have an impact on reducing a substantial portion of visual impairment and blindness.

This groundbreaking volume is the first to analyze how and to what extent bioethics considerations influence today's judges. Previous books have attended to the law that governs bioethics problems, but Bioethics in Law is the first to examine when and how bioethical issues impact judicial reasoning and decision-making. The author undertakes careful analysis of health care committee recommendations, institutional review board determinations, bioethics commission reports, bioethics research materials, briefs of bioethics amicus curiae, and bioethics expert testimony that has been used in legal proceedings during the last decade. Through such examination, Bioethics in Law is able to offer critical insight into the ways that judges have invited, accepted, relied on, followed, critiqued, ignored, rejected, overridden, transformed, and otherwise responded to bioethics communications.

Clinical Functional MRI Presurgical Functional Neuroimaging

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) permits noninvasive imaging of the "human brain at work" under physiological conditions. This is the first textbook on clinical fMRI. It is devoted to preoperative fMRI in patients with brain tumors and epilepsies, which are the most well-established clinical applications. By localizing and lateralizing specific brain functions, as well as epileptogenic zones, fMRI facilitates the selection of a safe treatment and the planning and performance of function-preserving neurosurgery.

Over the last decade studies have shown that physical exercise plays an important role in maintaining an individual's psycho-physical balance. In particular, it has been demonstrated that prolonged regular physical activity (now defined in scientific publications as chronic physical activity) helps to significantly reduce the incidence of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, which are often associated with ageing, while at the same time bolstering the immune system. Promoting physical activity therefore helps preventing today's major health challenges, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiorespiratory diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, and cancer, thus leading to a reduction in healthcare costs and freeing up resources for future generations. The volume will be an essential reading for all health professionals and for residents in medicine and in health and physical exercise. Features Over the last decade studies have shown that physical exercise plays an important role in maintaining an individual's psycho-physical balance Aim of this volume is to underline that promoting physical activity is crucial for preventing illness and maintaining our health leading to a reduction in healthcare costs Will be essential reading for all health professionals and residents in medicine and in health and [..] Contents Metabolic Modifications and Physical Exercise.- Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Physical Exercise.- Physical Exercise and Oxidative Stress.- Mitochondrial Alterations in Ageing and Diseases.- Nutrition, Physical Exercise and Obesity.- Physical Exercise.- Health and Wellness: Sociological and Psychological Aspects.

In the biomedical field, biomedical imagery has come to be a discipline of its own, given the nature of its applications in the understanding of the human body and medical diagnostics. The understanding of Deformable Models are the significant utility on biomedical imagery primarily because of its ability to perform efficient topology preservation and fast shape recovery. This has dominated the binary, grayscale and color imaging frameworks, which the eye can perceive. It has not only the ability to find boundaries and surfaces that are deep-seated in 2-D and 3-D volumes respectively, but also provide satisfactory solutions for the completion of cognitive objects with missing boundaries. Deformable Models: Theory and Biomaterial Applications focuses on the core image processing techniques: theory and biomaterials useful to research and industry.

Because of the radiation dose delivered, multidetector row CT (MDCT) may induce cancers, and the risk of death has been estimated at up to one per 1,000 examinations. Despite this, only a small proportion of referring clinicians, radiologists, and technologists are aware of both the radiation risks and their underlying mechanisms. This book is designed to rectify this situation. The first part of the book provides a comprehensive approach to all the factors that influence the radiation dose and subsequently the risk induced by using MDCT in children and adult patients. In the second part, guidelines are proposed for optimization of the radiation dose in order to obtain an image quality sufficient for appropriate diagnostic performance while restricting the dose delivered. This book, written by experts of international standing, will appeal to both general and specialized radiologists, including pediatric radiologists, CT technologists, physicists, manufacturers, and all professionals involved in MDCT.

Glissonean Pedicle Transection Method for Hepatic Resection

Kommerzialisierung des menschlichen Körpers

T.O. Tollefsbol, University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL, USA (Ed.)

Biological Aging Methods and Protocols

The Glissonean pedicle transection method for hepatic resection has been recognized and practiced as a safe, well-established technique for reliable anatomic and systematic hepatic resection for more than 20 years. This method has advantages not only in simplification of the techniques of hepatic resection but also in reduction of intraoperative hemorrhage. In this book, the author, who originally developed the technique, presents a concept of hepatic segmentation with respect to the Glissonean pedicle tree, and surgical procedures for segmentectomy and coneunit resection are outlined. Detailed illustrations are included depicting every important action a surgeon must consider while performing these operations, and the accompanying DVD will further assist readers in understanding the most appropriate technique, special strategies, and potential pitfalls.

Der "Rohstoff Mensch" spielt aufgrund der medizinisch-wissenschaftlichen Entwicklung eine immer größer werdende Rolle. Kaum ein Teil des menschlichen Körpers, der nicht medizinisch, wissenschaftlich oder kosmetisch genutzt werden kann. Gleichwohl sind der Ausschöpfung dieser Möglichkeiten offenbar ethische und rechtliche Grenzen gesetzt. Dies gilt insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Frage, in welchem Umfang die Nutzung des menschlichen Körpers und seiner Teile mit finanziellen Aspekten verknüpft sein darf. So enthalten beispielsweise die Biomedizinkonvention des Europarates wie auch die europäische Grundrechtecharta ein ausdrückliches Kommerzialisierungsverbot. Danach dürfen der menschliche Körper und seine Teile als solche nicht zur Erzielung von Gewinnen genutzt werden. Dabei sind allerdings der Grund und die Reichweite dieser und zahlreicher anderer Kommerzialisierungsverbote mehr als unklar. Fragen nach dem legitimen Ausmaß einer Kommerzialisierung des Menschen stellen sich konkret etwa in der [..]

Biological Aging: Methods and Protocols investigates the various processes that are affected by the age of an organism. Several new tools for the analysis of biological aging have been introduced recently, and this volume provides methods and protocols for these new techniques in addition to its coverage of established procedures. The editors have carefully selected only those topics that are considered mainstays of the field or are showing promise in revolutionizing this relatively new science. The three main areas of focus in this cutting-edge compendium of biological aging research are: methods that are basic to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of cellular aging; techniques used to intervene in the aging process; and approaches to analyzing the many molecular processes of biological aging. Researchers seeking new technology and techniques will find this volume of tremendous benefit as they move towards new directions in the exciting and expanding field of biological aging.

There are few situations in anesthesia where precise anatomic location is more important than in regional anesthesia. But, of course, any anesthesiologist who performs regional on a regular basis is fully aware of the frustration of attempting to locate nerves on a trial and error basis. Ultrasound imaging now enables us to visualize nerves, and this exciting technology offers several distinct benefits over conventional nerve locating techniques. The Atlas of Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation-Guided Regional Anesthesia illustrates how to use ultrasound technology and nerve stimulation techniques to achieve consistently good results. Throughout the book, ultrasound images are correlated with MRI images to enhance anatomic identification. In addition, peripheral nerve block techniques for upper and lower extremities and the trunk are demonstrated step-bystep. With the luxury of being able to actually see the target nerve and the course of the needle as it approaches that nerve, anesthesiologists can [..]

Molecular Sensors for Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Neonatal Cranial Ultrasonography

Biological homeostasis is maintained via intact function of an array of molecules detecting changes of microenvironments inside and outside of the biological system. These molecules, including cell membrane proteins and ion channels, are intimately involved in a variety of sensory pathways and respond to environmental stimuli, including altered temperature, pH, mechanical and osmotic stress, intra- and extracellular messengers, as well as changes in energy consumption. The book reveals the state-of-thescience of several newly discovered ion channel families and their role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. This work offers comprehensive and up-to-date information for a deeper understanding of the relationship between macro- and micro-environments, ion channels, and pathophysiological responses, and for developing novel therapies for treating devastating cardiovascular illnesses. Features This title will attract a vast range of readers including scientists and investigators in both academic and industrial fields and clinicians Graduate students will also be interested in buying this book, particularly as there is exponential growth of courses on this subject Contents The role of DEG/ENaC ion channels in sensory mechanotransduction.- ASICS function as cardiac lactic acid sensors during myocardial ischemia.Molecular Components of Neural Sensory Transduction DEG/ENac Proteins in baro and chemoreceptors.- TRP Channels as Molecular Sensors of Physical Stimuli.- TRPV1 in Central cardiovascular control: Discerning the C-fiber afferent pathway.TRPV1 as a molecular transducer for salt and water homeostasis.- Functional interaction between ATP and TRPV1 receptors.- TRPV4 and hypotonic stress.- Ion Channels in Shear Stress Sensing in Vascular Endothelium - [..]

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Despite advances in neonatal care, neonatal cerebral injury remains a major cause of morbidity, mortality and disabilities. Cranial ultrasonography provides information on brain maturation in the (preterm) neonate and enables detection of frequently occurring brain anomalies in this patient group. It can be repeated when necessary. After the introduction of neonatal MRI, cranial ultrasonography has been relatively neglected. While modern textbooks are available on pathological conditions of the neonatal brain, a recent book showing high quality normal ultrasound images is lacking. The current book deals with the basics of neonatal cranial ultrasonography and can be used as a reference-book providing essential information about the procedure and normal ultrasound anatomy. Features First book exclusively dealing with the standard cranial ultrasonography procedure and normal cranial ultrasonography images Survey of the basics of neonatal cranial ultrasonosgraphy Providing essential information for physicians and technicians applying neonatal cranial ultrasonography as the most important neuroimaging technique on the neonatal ward Obstetricians and obstetric ultrasonographists will find [..] Contents I.

Cancer Stem Cells Novel Concepts and Prospects for Tumor Therapy

Cancer stem cells werehave originally been identified in leukemia and later in several solid tumor types. They have very different properties from the bulk of the tumor, as they divide much more slowly and have very efficient drug- resistance mechanisms. Current treatments might largely spare cancer stem cells, thus leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. The recent identification of growth and differentiation pathways responsible for cancer stem cell proliferation and survival will help in the discovery identification of novel therapeutic targets. Developing selective drugs against cancer stem cells offers great therapeutic opportunities but also provides for major challenges regarding preclinical models, therapeutic windows, and clinical study end points.

Microtubule Protocols

Notfallmedizin

Microtubules are essential components of the cytoskeleton, and play critical roles in a variety of cell processes, including cell shaping, intracellular tracking, cell division, and cell migration. Microtubule Protocols presents a comprehensive collection of essential and up-to-date methods for studying both the biology of microtubules and the mechanisms of action of microtubule-interacting drugs. The straightforward presentation of readily reproducible protocols is a hallmark of the Methods in Molecular Medicine™ series, and is evident in this volume. Methods presented range from the purification and characterization of microtubule proteins, analysis of post-translational modifications of tubulin, and determination of microtubule structure, to the visualization of microtubule and spindle behavior, measurement of microtubule dynamics, and examination of microtubule-mediated cellular processes. Both basic scientists and clinical researchers will benefit from this collection of state-of-the-art [..]
