Now fully revised, this acclaimed textbook efficiently links basic biochemistry with the day-to-day practice of medicine. You will learn basic science concepts and see them illustrated by clinical cases that describe patients you will likely encounter in your clinical training. You will also learn about the use of laboratory tests to diagnose and monitor the most important conditions. Brought to you in a thorough yet accessible manner, this new edition of Medical Biochemistry highlights the latest developments in regulatory and molecular biology, signal transduction, biochemistry and biomarkers of chronic disease, and bioinformatics and the '-omics'. It highlights the most important global medical issues: diabetes mellitus, obesity and malnutrition, cancer and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and addresses the role of nutrition and exercise in medicine. Featuring a team of expert contributors that includes investigators involved in cutting-edge research as well as experienced clinicians, this book offers a unique combination of research and clinical practice tailored to today's integrated courses.

Das kindliche Elektroenzephalogramm unterscheidet sich in wesentlichen Punkten vom EEG des Erwachsenen. In jeder Altersgruppe finden sich parallel zur Hirnentwicklung spezifische EEG-Muster, Normvarianten und pathologischen Veranderungen, deren Kenntnis fur die Beurteilung essentiell ist. So gibt es eine Vielzahl altersabhangiger Epilepsieformen und anderer Krankheitsbilder, die im Erwachsenenalter unbekannt sind. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt die Beurteilung des Neu- und Fruhgeborenen-EEGs dar.

Dieser Leitfaden klart daruber auf, was bei EEG-Ableitungen im Sauglings- und Kleinkindesalter zu berucksichtigen ist und hilft dabei, EEG-Kurven richtig zu interpretieren und pathologische von normalen Mustern abzugrenzen.

Das Buch ist ein unveranderter Nachdruck des gleichnamigen Kapitels aus dem Werk "Klinische Elektroenzephalographie" von Stephan Zschocke und Hans-Christian Hansen. Nutzlich ist es insbesondere fur Kinder- und Jugendarzten und Neurologen, die mit den Grundlagen der Elektroenzephalographie vertraut sind. Einsteigern zum Thema zeigt dieses Buch auf, wo und wann das EEG im Kindesalter einen Beitrag zur Diagnose leisten kann."

The Cerebellum provides a concise, accessible overview of modern data on physiology and function of the cerebellum as it relates to learning, plasticity, and neurodegenerative diseases. Encompassing anatomy and physiology, theoretical work, cellular mechanisms, clinical research, and disorders, the book covers learning and plasticity while introducing the anatomy of the cerebellum. Known and proposed "functions of the cerebellum" are addressed on clinical, physiological, cellular, and computational levels, providing academics, researchers, medical students, and graduate students with an invaluable reference.

This book presents 847 compounds isolated and identified from plants that present antioxidant activity. These substances have been classified by chemical groups and each provides the most relevant information of its pharmacological activity, action mechanism, chemical structure, spectroscopic date and other properties. Chemical structures have been drawn to indicate the stereochemistry. In this handbook, the summary of the scientific information of plants that present biological activity and the compounds responsible for this activity is presented, which introduces the reader to the study of medicinal plants and also providing bibliographic references, where a detailed study of its chemistry and pharmacology can be found. This dictionary will be of great help for pre and post-graduate students, as well as professors, research of the medical industry, who work in some way with isolates bioactive compounds obtained from plants.

The chapters in this important book touch upon clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging. They include localisation of ictal and postictal behaviours; neuroendocrine aspects of epilepsy; psychiatric and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy; behavioural aspects of epilepsy surgery; cognitive and affective effects of seizure treatment and functional imaging and animal models.
