A good knowledge of descriptive, surgical and functional anatomy and biomechanics of the extensor tendons of the hand is fundamental for adequate surgical and rehabilitation management of their lesions. Extensor tendons are immediately localised under skin which makes them vulnerable to trauma. They are divided into extrinsic and intrinsic systems with complicated anatomy and biomechanics. This book examines different effective rehabilitation strategies to treat and repair tendons as well as discussing the anatomy and biomechanics of extensor tendons.

As one of the first cortical areas to be explored experimentally, the motor cortex continues to be the focus of intense research. Motor Cortex in Voluntary Movements: A Distributed System for Distributed Functions presents developments in motor cortex research, making it possible to understand and interpret neural activity and use it to reconstruct movements. Featuring viewpoints based on monkey and human studies, the book focuses on how neuronal activity changes during learning, discusses what the motor cortex encodes for, and covers the neuronal representations of voluntary movements and the mechanism of their generation during learning. Section 1 uses functional neuroanatomy and imaging studies to describe motor cortical function, and Section 2 provides an overview of studies about neural representations in the motor cortex. The third section concentrates on motor learning, and the final section highlights the reconstruction of movements using brain activity. Revealing many exciting applications of this rapidly expanding science, this book enhances our understanding of the generation of motor commands. It is an essential resource for neuroscientists interested in motor function, rehabilitation medicine practitioners, and biomedical engineers.
For more than 30 years, "Current Topics in Developmental
Biology" has provided a forum for dissemination and discussion of
new ideas and thought in developmental biology. Bringing together a
series of articles on the structural, functional, and developmental
characteristics of epithelials, this thematic volume represents a
timely and valuable contribution to an exciting and
multidisciplinary field of study. Because defects in epithelial
function and growth control play a major role in human
disease-cancerous tumors, spina bifida, cardiac malformations, for
example-this volume will be of particular interest to researchers
working in cancer drug design and development and those working in
therapeutic areas to treat developmental abnormalities. Coverage of current research findings and thought on cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions gives researchers a better understanding of the processes of remodeling and morphogenesis, which are critical to the development of drugs aimed at disrupting the early formation and proliferation of cancerous tumors. Inclusion of chapters that discuss the most contemporary thought on cell polarity and tissue morphogenesis, providing researchers with a better understanding of the control of cellular organization and polarity (particularly important to researchers who are developing treatments for developmental abnormalities and those working in cancer drug development). Use of a variety of animal models, allowingresearchers to compare and contrast the molecular mechanisms that underlie cell-cell and cell-extracelluar matrix interactions in a variety of research models."
History of Anatomy: An International Perspective is unique in its global approach to studying the development of human anatomy. Though it references widely known anatomists, such as Aristotle, Galen, and Bell, the book also pay homage to less famous contributors to the field and explains their findings. This comprehensive history of the morphology of humans serves as a useful guide to anatomists, anthropologists, physicians, surgeons, and anyone interested in the early history of medicine and surgery.
Rather than focusing on dance injuries, this book takes a positive approach showing what a dancer can do to dance better, which, in turn, will decrease injury rates. It presents human anatomy and motion in a functional, dance-specific way that teaches the readers to appreciate and take ownership of their bodies through a tour of the musculoskeletal system and movement analysis. The book is divided into three parts. Part one, Anatomy, describes the specific characteristics that affect motion at each individual joint, demonstrated by a variety of hands-on activities for readers to perform. Part two, Movement Analysis, discusses muscles that produce movement and introduces readers to a system of movement analysis. Part three, Conditioning, provides a practical, integrative approach to exercise for enhanced performance. The written material is accompanied by anatomical line drawings commissioned for the book, photographs, and an assortment of experiential activities specifically designed for dancers.
Interest in the therapeutic value of embryonic, fetal and adult
stem cell types is rapidly expanding throughout the scientific
community. The first half of this century should see an explosion
of therapeutic applications of stem cells which will grow from the
cells and techniques described in this book. Stem Cell Culture
provides a comprehensive resource for researchers in the fields of
embryonic, fetal and adult stem cell biology to find methods for
the purification, culture, and differentiation of these cell types,
with the main emphasis on the maintenance of the stem cell
phenotype in vitro. This volume will be the first to broadly cover
multiple types of stem cell culture from different ages, organs and
species. Chapters focus on the practical do's and don'ts of
isolating and culturing these cell types, and use illustrative data
or diagrams that allow the reader to confidently apply techniques
and make this a standard reference.
The Sixth Edition of Anatomy & Pathology: The World's Best

reference is an essential addition to every library, whether you
are a health professional, student, or interested consumer.
Winner of the 2000 William H. Welch Medal given by the American Association for the History of Medicine. At the heart of medical history is a deep enigma. The true structure and workings of the human body are, we casually assume, everywhere the same, a universal reality. But then we look into the past, and our sense of reality wavers: accounts of the body in diverse medical traditions often seem to describe mutually alien, almost unrelated worlds. "The Expressiveness of the Body" meditates on the contrasts between the human body described in classical Greek medicine and the body as envisaged by physicians in ancient China. It asks how this most basic of human realities came to be conceived by two sophisticated civilizations in radically diverging ways. And it seeks answers in fresh and unexpected topics, such as the history of tactile knowledge, the relationship between ways of seeing and ways of listening, and the evolution of bloodletting.

This book presents the anatomical systems that take part in the
scientific and clinical study of emotional functions and
neuropsychiatric disorders. It discusses the limbic system-the
cortical and subcortical structures in the human brain involved in
emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory-at
length and how this is no longer a useful guide to the study of
psychiatric disorders. The book provides an understanding of brain
anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has
emerged during the last quarter century. The goal is to help the
reader develop an understanding of the gross anatomical
organization of the human forebrain.

A tiny scrap of genetic information determines our sex; it also consigns many of us to a life of disease, directs or disrupts the everyday working of our bodies, and forces women to live as genetic chimeras. The culprit--so necessary and yet the source of such upheaval--is the X chromosome, and this is its story. An enlightening and entertaining tour of the cultural and natural history of this intriguing member of the genome, "The X in Sex" traces the journey toward our current understanding of the nature of X. From its chance discovery in the nineteenth century to the promise and implications of ongoing research, David Bainbridge shows how the X evolved and where it and its counterpart Y are going, how it helps assign developing human babies their sex--and maybe even their sexuality--and how it affects our lives in infinitely complex and subtle ways. X offers cures for disease, challenges our cultural, ethical, and scientific assumptions about maleness and femaleness, and has even reshaped our views of human evolution and human nature.
