Catch up Biology 2e covers the basic principles and concepts in biology that you will need if you are studying medicine or a related subject, or one of the biomedical sciences. The book focuses on human biology and covers: the basic molecules of life, such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids cells, tissues and processes, including energy metabolism, cell division, epithelial and connective tissues the key mammalian systems, for example, homeostasis, the endocrine, respiratory and digestive systems. Throughout the book the authors highlight clinical examples so that you can see the relevance of basic biology to your course. The book also contains questions (and answers) so that you can test your understanding of the subject as you work through the book. This new edition features two new chapters on microorganisms and on genetic disease. Catch up Biology is the ideal book to refresh your understanding of the basic concepts of biology.

Signals and Systems for Speech and Hearing (2nd edition) provides the reader with a thorough introduction to the concepts of signals and systems analysis that play a role in the speech and hearing sciences. Few equations are used, and an informal, friendly and informative style is maintained throughout. Because much of the story is told through figures, the authors have gone to great lengths to provide clear and truthful figures that show what the text says they do. It is hoped the reader will come away with a strong visual understanding of the concepts involved. This book can be used at many levels, from the student who hasn't heard of a spectrum before, to the experienced worker who has only a fuzzy understanding of the notion of an impulse response. The authors have tried to keep the underlying conceptual structure of signals and systems analysis explicit, in the hope that even some readers with advanced technical training might find clarification of the basic principles. Notable features include over 300 figures integrated closely with the text, all drawn specifically. Exercises are provided at the end of most chapters.

This is an account of a project in China carried out in secrecy from the Chinese people and the Western World during the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution. Project 523, as it was called, resulted in one of the most significant advances in the treatment of malaria since the discovery and first use of quinine over 300 years ago. The origin of the project was a request from the North Vietnamese Government to Mao Zedong in China, for assistance in managing chloroquine drug-resistant malaria affecting their military forces during the Vietnam-American war. Initially the project was directed by the Chinese military medical research authorities, but it became so large that civilian scientists were called upon to help. Ultimately, to accomplish this task, over 60 institutions and more than 500 scientists and other personnel scattered throughout mainland China became involved. This achievement is all the more remarkable because it was accomplished during the Cultural Revolution using obsolete equipment, and at a time when all regular research was halted, scientists were harassed and denigrated, and academic and intellectual activity was discouraged or even forbidden. The drug discovered - artemisinin from the plant Qinghao (Artemisia annua L) - is now the most widely used treatment for malaria in the world. Chinese Editor Zhang Jianfang was the principal administrator of Project 523. He is now 87 years old, retired, and lives in Beijing. Translators Keith and Muoi Arnold of Northern California were the first Western medical scientists to be informed about and to publish on qinghaosu (artemisinin).

Die medizinische Physik hat sich in den letzten Jahren zunehmend als interdisziplin res Gebiet profiliert. Um dem Bedarf nach systematischer Weiterbildung von Physikern, die an medizinischen Einrichtungen t tig sind, gerecht zu werden, wurde ein dreib ndiges Werk konzipiert. Es basiert auf dem Heidelberger Kurs f r medizinische Physik und vermittelt das f r die Fachanerkennung als Medizinphysiker notwendige medizinische und physikalische Wissen. Der nun vorliegende Band 1 behandelt die medizinischen, medizintechnischen und biomathematischen Grundlagen. Band 2 ist der medizinischen Strahlenphysik, Tomographie, Ultraschalldiagnose, Nuklearmedizin und dem Strahlenschutz gewidmet. Band 3 stellt Grundlagen und Anwendung der medizinischen Laserphysik und Optik vor.

Despite many encouraging developments in the field of animal-free technologies, well-defined animal models are still needed to study fundamental properties of human diseases and to develop new prophylactic and therapeutic treatments against human diseases. Non-human primates (NHP) make up only a small, but important, part of the total number of animals used in biomedical and preclinical research. Due to their close phylogenetic relationship and the shared susceptibility to many human diseases, NHP can provide important research models to study these diseases and, as such, play a critical role in the advancement of various areas in the medical field. Studies in NHP have contributed to our understanding of various diseases and fundamental biological phenomena and they continue to be important in the development of new therapies, treatments, drugs and vaccines. Moreover, NHP models also contribute to our general knowledge of the processes that underlie non-disease and disease conditions. Important areas where NHP can provide important information include (emerging) infectious diseases, organ transplantation, neurological and aging-related disorders. Although not covered in this book due to time constraints, the need for, and benefits of, NHP models has been demonstrated most recently in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The present book is the second of two volumes and covers important disease areas where NHP are used as model species. This volume includes different chapters on NHP models in infectious diseases, aging, neurodegenerative disorders, organ transplantation and cancer.

Metal ions are poorly known whereas they sometimes play a role more significant than vitamins. Moreover they control many diseases, such as the zinc salts in dermatology. Another example is the recent discovery of platinum co-ordination compounds' anti-tumor activity (cisplatine). There is a growing volume of literature too. The chemistry of metal ions has provided new insights into DNA, proteins and membrane chemistry, as well as the physiopathology of diseases. This book contains the proceedings of 2nd International Symposium on Metal Ions in Biology and Medicine, Athens, May 1992.

Das vorliegende Buch ist aus dem Wunsch seiner Kollegen und Mitarbeiter entstanden, Herrn Prof. Dr. Gerd Friedmann zum 60. Geburtstag eine Freude zu bereiten. Hinter dem Konzept steht die Absicht, den Einsatz bildgebender Verfahren in der Diagnostik des akuten Abdomens stichwortartig zu skizzieren und dem Roentgenologen in Fachausbildung und Berufsausubung ein Denk gerust fur den Alltag an die Hand zu geben. Dies erscheint um so notwen diger als die bildgebenden Verfahren in einer explosiven technischen Ent wicklung begriffen sind und jahrlich grundlegend Neu es entsteht und hinzu kommen wird. Der sinnvolle und rationelle Einsatz dieser diagnostischen Methoden wird allein durch die Vielfalt der Moeglichkeiten zwingend. Die richtige Auswahl und die Reihenfolge ihrer Anwendung sind zunehmend fur das Wohl des Patienten und eine wirtschaftlich vernunftige Handhabung von Bedeutung. So mag es auf den ersten Blick erstaunlich sein, wenn der Chirurg als einziger Nichtroentgenologe im Kreise der Autoren erscheint und ein Geleit wort spricht. Dies kann seine Begrundung aber darin haben, dass gerade der operativ tatige Mediziner der naturgegebene Partner des Roentgenologen ist und sich dort, wo die Medizin ernst genommen wird, zwangslaufig ein enges kooperatives Verhaltnis ergeben muss. Vor allem ist der Chirurg in der Lage, Roentgenbefunde zu verifizieren oder Irrtumer aufzudecken. Wie kaum ein anderer ist seinerseits er auf eine exakte Artdiagnose, eine praoperative anatomisch-pathologische Beschreibung, die Darstellung von Nachbar schaftsbeziehungen und funktionelle Beurteilungen, beispielsweise durch angiographische Methoden, angewiesen.

Die Inzidenz der boesartigen Tumoren der oberen Luft- und Speisewege nimmt eindeutig zu. Diese im Hals-Bereich lokalisierten (zumeist Plattenepithel-) Karzinome gehen haufig mit dort lokalisierten Lymphknotenmetastasen einher. Haufig fallen sie durch diese uberhaupt erst auf, zumal der Primartumor gelegentlich kaum Beschwerden bereitet. Das vorliegende Buch bietet als Nachschlagewerk einen umfassenden UEberblick der fur alle AErzte (auch Internisten, Allgemeinmediziner und Dermatologen) absolut notwendigen Kenntnis um die Differenzialdiagnostik der Lymphknotenerkrankungen und deren Therapie, insbesondere der verschiedenen Formen der Neck-Dissection. Hochqualitative Abbildungen und Tabellen ermoeglichen es, die Thematik mit hohem didaktischen Wert vorzustellen.

Das Vorlegen einer weiteren Schizophrenieverlaufsstudie unter einem vor- wiegend psychopathalogischen Aspekt bedarf heute einer Rechtfertigung. Die Zahl der in den letzten eineinhalb Jahrzehnten erschienenen Schizo- phrenieverlaufsstudien ist gross; sie mag den Eindruck erwecken, dass neue Ergebnisse nur aus einer verfeinerten Methodik zu erwarten seien, die sich abgrenzbaren Detailfragen zuwendet. Dieser Weg wurde vielfach beschrit- ten und hat z. T. zur Ausbildung von Spezialgebieten mit nur noch schwer uberschaubarer Literaturfulle gefuhrt. Als Beispiele seien neben der klini- schen Psychopathologie vorwiegend klassifikatorischer Provenienz die "high-risk"-Forschung, die experimentalpsychologische Vulnerabilitatsfor- schung, die "life-event"-Forschung, die sozialpsychologische Therapie-und Rehabilitationsforschung und die Ventrikelforschung genannt, zu deren Wertung im Grunde auch die Beurteilung der Demenzforschung an nicht psychotischen Alten berucksichtigt werden musste. Die Vorstellung eines hinsichtlich der Vielzahl der Forschungsansatze synoptischen Vorgehens unter dem Primat der klinischen Psychopatholo- gie, wie es hier versucht wurde, ist von der Hoffnung getragen, zu einer ver- besserten Integration der Ergebnisse der einzelnen Forschungsbereiche bei- zutragen und so zu einem in sich geschlossenen Bild vom schizophrenen Residuum zu kommen. Fur den empirischen Teil der Studie bedeutet dies, dass, hypothesengeleitet, die nach dem Stand der Diskussion am wichtigsten erscheinenden Einflussgroessen auf das Apathiesyndrom der Schizophrenen gemeinsam und am gleichen Patientenkollektiv untersucht werden, damit eine Gewichtung dieser sonst zumeist getrennt voneinander untersuchten Variablen gegeneinander moeglich wird. Die zu vermutende Komplexitat der atiopathogenetischen Einflusse auf das Apathiesyndrom der Schizo- phrenen zwingt naturlich nach wie vor zu einer erheblichen Reduktion der zu untersuchenden Bereiche.
