It is only recently that the use of the endoscope as the sole visualizing tool has been introduced in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with its favorable related implications and minimal operative trauma. Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions. An endoscope lens produces images with maximal magnification at its center and severe contraction at its periphery. Nearer images are disproportionally enlarged and remote images are falsely miniaturized. This optical illusion may disorientate a surgeon who is not familiar with this peculiar condition at the skull base. This atlas acts as a guide through the endoscopic anatomy and gives detailed descriptions of the preoperative management and the surgical procedures.

The Muscular System chart graphically portrays front and rear views of the male musculature. Other images include muscles of the abdominal wall, the outer muscles of the back and a plantar view of the foot. Heavy gauge 3ml lamination with sealed edges and two metal eyelets for hanging makes chart highly durable. Write-on/wipe-off with dry erase marker (not included).

This book is a contemporary statement of what is known about morphological development of the normal and abnormal human nervous system and puts into perspective the continued importance of changes that occur in the course of foetal development and how these processes may become defective. The first part of the book deals with the development of the central nervous system (CNS) from a morphological point of view including data from the fields of biochemistry, immunology and genetics. The second part reviews the genetic and nongenetic etiology of abnormal CNS development and discusses throughly all patologic syndromes that are related to disturbances of brain development. With the rapid progress in such modern branches of science as neurochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, this book will be invaluable for researchers working in these fields.

'An enthralling read' - Dr Rachel Clarke, bestselling author of Dear Life A Royal Society Science Prize shortlisted author 'A remarkable book' - Sunday Times __________ What is phantom limb pain? Can words actually hurt? Why do we experience pain, even after we've healed? We know pain when we feel it. We fear it and try to avoid it. But do we know what it really is? We're currently experiencing a Renaissance in pain science. In recent years our understanding of pain has altered so radically it's fair to say that everything we thought we knew about pain is wrong. As Dr Monty Lyman reveals, we misunderstand pain - with harmful consequences. Exploring cutting-edge research that encompasses everything from phantom aches to persistent pain, as well as interviews with survivors of torture and those who have never felt pain, Dr Lyman not only provides hope for reducing and managing pain but takes us to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. This is the untold story of pain - our most elusive feeling. 'Accessible and well-written... Dr Lyman takes us into the world of pain' Mail on Sunday __________ Praise for Monty Lyman and The Remarkable Life of the Skin - 'Seriously entertaining' The Times - 'A talented new writer' Sunday Times - 'Beautifully written, revealing and surprising' Daily Mail - 'Imaginatively told' The Spectator - 'An absorbing, fact-packed study' Nature - 'What a read it is' Vogue - 'Fascinating' Daily Express

This book is a comprehensive illustrated surgical guide to operative exposures of the spinal nerves, also known as peripheral nerves. Each chapter is devoted to a particular nerve and describes the origin, anatomic relations, branches, surgical approaches, and clinical significance. The text is concise and easy to read and is complemented by informative color photos from cadaveric dissections and surgical procedures. A separate chapter on technical notes identifies surgical pearls relating to techniques such as nerve suturing and nerve transfers. Importantly, unlike other peripheral nerve atlases, this book is accompanied by videos of different approaches. The book will be especially valuable for residents and fellows in training and candidates for oral board and MOC examinations. It is also designed to provide a quick illustrated review for surgeons unfamiliar with a procedure. Most videos are less than 5 minutes long, and it should take less than 10 minutes to review each approach, including watching the video. Anatomy and Exposures of Spinal Nerves will effectively fill a gap caused by the absence of a peripheral nerve surgeon from many neurosurgery training programs.

This book is dedicated to an update on metabolic disorders and their consequences on the developing nervous system. In the last ten years, major scientific advances in biochemical diagnosis have enabled the identification of many new disease entities, as well as a better classification of clinical symptoms and their correlation to biochemical defects. This volume provides an introduction to basic sciences specifically relevant to this disease group, then focuses on each subgroup in turn: hyperphenylalaninaemias, mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, organic acidoses, urea cycle defects, lysosomal storage and peroxylsomal disorders. Finally, a discussion of long term follow-up and family related issues also reports the results of a four-year research project led by the Mariani Foundation.

Dieses Buch bietet einen UEberblick uber die Kryobiologie, einen Teilbereich der biomedizinischen Forschung, der sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Lebenserhaltung durch Kalte beschaftigt. Zum Beispiel werden Zellkulturen und winzige Gewebeproben bei kryogenen Temperaturen (unter etwa -90 DegreesC) aufbewahrt. Eine Wiederbelebung von Organen ist bisher fast ausschliesslich nach einer Kuhlung auf Temperaturen von 0 bis -80 DegreesC gelungen und heute noch Gegenstand der Forschung. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand wird hier zusammengefasst und fur verschiedene Tierarten und konkrete Anwendungsbereiche dargelegt. Vor allem wird auf grosse biologische Einheiten, wie z. B. menschliche Organe und, als Fernziel, den ganzen menschlichen Organismus, eingegangen. Es werden die Notwendigkeit sowie die Moeglichkeiten fur die Vermeidung von Eiskristallen und Stressfrakturen wahrend der Kuhlung auf kryogene Temperaturen erklart, um eine sichere Lagerung zu ermoeglichen.Neuere Methoden werden vorgestellt, die versuchen mit geringstmoeglichen Konzentrationen von Frostschutzmitteln auszukommen, da diese Nebenwirkungen verursachen aber benoetigt werden, um die Kristallisierung, wie auch die Stressfrakturen geringzuhalten.Dieses Buch richtet sich an Personen, die sich uber das Feld der Kryobiologie informieren moechten und dessen Fortschritte, Einsatzmoeglichkeiten, aber auch die momentanen Limitierungen kennen lernen moechten.

Der 2. Band der Speziellen Zoologie uber die Schadel- oder Wirbeltiere (Craniota) liegt nun in dritter Auflage vor. 40 Autoren haben die Kapitel grundlich uberarbeitet, aktualisiert und mit einer Reihe neuer oder verbesserter Abbildungen erganzt. Sie beschreiben die Vielfalt dieser Tiergruppe anhand von Bau, Funktion und Leistung ihrer Organsysteme. Der Aufbau des Buches folgt der phylogenetischen Systematik, die Ergebnisse molekularer Verwandtschaftsanalysen wurden dabei berucksichtigt. Die bewahrte Gliederung in einen relativ kurz gefassten Allgemeinen Teil, der die Grundzuge der Organisation dieser Tiergruppe in moderner Sicht darstellt, und einen umfangreichen Speziellen Teil, der die einzelnen Untergruppen detailliert abhandelt, wurde beibehalten. Fur alle Taxa werden einzelne, auch heimische Arten vorgestellt, die phylogenetisch, oekologisch, ethologisch oder wirtschaftlich besonders bedeutend sind. Dieses anspruchsvolle Lehrbuch ist gleichzeitig ein Nachschlagewerk, das Biologen aus unterschiedlichsten Fachrichtungen einen fundierten UEberblick uber die Erscheinungsformen der Wirbeltiere gibt. Es vervollstandigt das von Wilfried Westheide und Reinhard Rieger herausgegebene grosse Lehrbuch Spezielle Zoologie, dessen erster Band uber Einzeller und Wirbellose Tiere seit 2013 in dritter Auflage vorliegt.

The benefits of this book lies not in the association of anatomy with modern imaging techniques (CT and MRI), but also and predominantly in the numerous diagrams of bony fenestration of the cochlea, the vestibule and the semicircular canals. These views reveal the membranous labyrinth, the internal organs of balance and audition, and highlight their innervation, as well as the utricular and saccular nerves of the spiral organ of corti.
