The authors of this volume have put emphasis on diagnosis, so the
presentation is generally concise, yet more comprehensive on key
points. In addition, they emphasise diagnostically-important
information on immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics, and
include additional details when biologically significant.
Site-specific soft tissue entities covered in the other atlases are
often excluded due to space constraints. The text is aimed as a
practical diagnostic aid for pathologists, cytopathologists and
pathology trainees, but the authors hope that their clinical
colleagues and others may also find it as a useful source of
information on soft tissue tumours and tumour-like lesions.

A Closer Look at Heart Rate opens with an examination of the latent
structures underlying short-term heart rate variability indices in
a sample of 96 young adults under 4-min eyes-closed followed by
4-min eyes-open resting-state conditions. Electrocardiograms
recorded during the two resting-state conditions were then analyzed
using a variety of heart rate variability indices in which latent
structures were identified using principal component analysis.
Additionally, the authors test the hypothesis that the statistical
artefact regression to the mean explains part of the baseline
effect. To do this, the regression to the mean effect is
illustrated through heart rate recording carried out on 1233
volunteers, from which 137 were randomly selected to obtain an
estimate of the stress response. Next, 14,000 antepartum fetal
heart rate tracings obtained during 2,000 pregnancies are analyzed.
After 30 weeks, fetal behavior progressively changes and
differentiates into three main states: active sleep, quiet sleep,
and active wakefulness. The fetal heart rate pattern during quiet
sleep is usually homogeneous. It appears that a heterogeneous
pattern reflecting a specific quiet sleep variant has been
unrecognized. In the closing chapter, the role of meditation in
cardiovascular risk reduction through beneficial modulation in
heart rate, and heart-rate variability is reviewed and discussed.
Meditative practices are aimed at training the mind to achieve a
state of increased consciousness.
Mathematical and numerical modelling of the human cardiovascular
system has attracted remarkable research interest due to its
intrinsic mathematical difficulty and the increasing impact of
cardiovascular diseases worldwide. This book addresses the two
principal components of the cardiovascular system: arterial
circulation and heart function. It systematically describes all
aspects of the problem, stating the basic physical principles,
analysing the associated mathematical models that comprise PDE and
ODE systems, reviewing sound and efficient numerical methods for
their approximation, and simulating both benchmark problems and
clinically inspired problems. Mathematical modelling itself imposes
tremendous challenges, due to the amazing complexity of the
cardiovascular system and the need for computational methods that
are stable, reliable and efficient. The final part is devoted to
control and inverse problems, including parameter estimation,
uncertainty quantification and the development of reduced-order
models that are important when solving problems with high
complexity, which would otherwise be out of reach.
A sound knowledge of cardiovascular physiology is fundamental to
understanding cardiovascular disease, exercise performance and may
other aspects of human physiology. Cardiovascular physiology is a
major component of all undergraduate courses in physiology,
biomedical science and medicine, and this popular introduction to
the subject is intended primarily for these students. A key feature
of this sixth edition is how state-of-the-art technology is applied
to understanding cardiovascular function in health and disease.
Thus the text is also well suited to graduate study programmes in
medicine and physiological sciences.
This book elucidates a number of new concepts on P-wave evaluation
and QRS depolarization properties, and reports on several
repolarization findings never covered in previous ECG books. The
content is primarily based on case reports, some of which are
compared in order to reveal their ostensibly small but significant
differences. The book addresses a significant and lingering gap in
ECG interpretation, which is the actual cause of many poor
decisions in the diagnostic and therapeutic contexts. Further, the
book has an interdisciplinary appeal, and will be of equal interest
to professionals and scholars with an interest in cardiology and
ECG interpretation.
Pervasive Cardiac and Respiratory Monitoring Devices: Model-Based
Design is the first book to combine biomedical instrumentation and
model-based design. As the scope is limited to cardiac and
respiratory devices only, this book offers more depth of
information on these devices; focusing in on signals used for home
monitoring and offering additional analysis of these devices. The
author offers an insight into new industry and research trends,
including advances in contactless monitoring of breathing and heart
rate. Each chapter presents a section on current trends. As
instrumentation as a field is becoming increasingly smart, basic
signal processing is also discussed. Real case-studies for each
modelling approach are used, primarily covering blood pressure, ECG
and radar-based devices. This title is ideal for teaching and
supporting learning as it is written in an accessible style and a
solutions manual for the problem sets is provided. It will be
useful to 4th year undergraduate students, graduate/masters/PhD
students, early career researchers and professionals working on an
interdisciplinary project; as it introduces the field and provides
real world applications. For engineers this book solves the problem
of how to assess and calibrate a medical device to ensure the data
collected is trustworthy. For students, this book allows for trying
concepts and circuits via simulations and learning modeling
techniques. Students will learn concepts from this book and be
ready to design bioinstrumentations devices based on
specifications/requirements.
Nitric Oxide Donors: Biomedical Applications and Perspectives
presents the current state of art, challenges and innovations in
the design of therapeutics nitric oxide donors with great impact in
several aspects of human physiology and pathophysiology. Although
considerable innovative progress has been achieved using Nitric
Oxide donors in biomedical applications, certain drawbacks still
need to be overcome to successfully translate these research
innovations into clinical applications. This book encompasses
several topics on nitric oxide such as its sources and biological
properties; its performance in the cardiovascular and neurologic
systems, in the human skin and its application in the treatment of
neglected diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
Additionally, it covers its role in inflammation and immunity,
penile erection function, photodynamic therapy, antimicrobial
activities. It also discusses the future of nitric oxide donors in
combination with other therapeutic drugs, in implantable sensors,

Cardioskeletal Myopathies in Children and Young Adults focuses on
plaques that kill people in their 40's-50's and the way they start
to form in young adulthood. The Annals of Family Medicine report
that approximately half of young adults have at least one
cardiovascular disease risk factor (Mar 2010), and an increase in
cardiovascular mortality rates in young adults was substantiated in
a study at Northwestern Medicine (Nov 2011). Given the increasing
recognition of genetic triggers behind all types of cardiovascular
disease, and the growing population of young adults with primary or
acquired myocardial disease, the need has arisen for a reference
that offers a comprehensive approach to the understanding of basic,
translational, and clinical aspects of specific muscle diseases
while making the link between young adult and adult health.
This guide to the proper use of the ECG in diagnosing acute
myocardial infarction puts the combined experience of international
authorities at your fingertips for immediate use. In "The 12 Lead
ECG in ST Elevation MI: A Practical Approach for Clinicians, " Drs.
Bayes de Luna, Fiol-Sala and Antman supply the practical, specific
information you need to determine which patients with ACS are
showing ST elevation.
To facilitate correct diagnosis and guide management, the
authors use a consistent sequence to explain the ECG abnormalities
for each site of coronary occlusion. A schematic of the coronary
tree illustrates the point of occlusion.
The second part of the book contains a self-assessment section with
a series of 15 cases, each of which includes one or more 12-lead
ECGs for analysis. These valuable examples help you prepare for
on-the-spot interpretation in the emergency department or intensive
care unit.
