The diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the nose, paranasal
sinuses and skull base have changed dramatically in the past few
years, transforming rhinol ogy in one of most exciting and
attractive medical fields. The increasing advance in this area has
addressed the ENT physicians to keep up with the expanding
information in the high tech area of sinus surgery and its
expansion into skull base surgery. The intention of this book is to
present in a unique way basic information on Anatomy, Endoscopy,
Rhinomanometry, Imaging, Allergy, Nasosinus Infection, and
Polyposis followed by by clinical and surgical chapters written by
some of the most experienced rhinosurgeons around the world. We
belive that this book will be of value for all levels of
Otolaryngology, from house officers to experienced surgeons and,
although principally for Otolaryngologists, Radiologists, Patholo
gists, Maxillofacial surgeons, Ophthalmologists, Neurosurgeons, and
Infectious Diseases Specialists may find the book of value because
of its overlap with their interests. We would like to show that,
both from the technical and conceptual points of view, success can
be achieved using different techniques and philosophies. Cer
tainly, both endoscopic instrumentation and the surgical microscope
have proved to be of great assistance in nasal and sinus surgery,
and now image systems are providing further progress.
Just because A&P is complicated, doesn't mean learning it has
to be. Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy & Physiology, 21st Edition
uses reader-friendly writing, visually engaging content, and a wide
range of teaching and learning support to ensure classroom success.
Focusing on the unifying themes of structure and function and
homeostasis, author Kevin Patton uses a very conversational and
easy-to-follow narrative to guide you through difficult A&P
material. The new edition of this two-semester text has been
updated to ensure you have a better understanding of how the entire
body works together. In addition, you can connect with the textbook
through a number of free electronic resources, including , an
electronic coloring book, 3D animations, and more! Conversational
writing style at a 11.7 reading level (the lowest available for
2-semester A&P books) makes text engaging and easy to
understand. Updated Genetics chapter includes important
advancements in that field. Updated content on osmosis revised to
make it more simple and accurate. More than 1,400 full-color
photographs and drawings illustrate the most current scientific
knowledge and bring difficult concepts to life. Includes a unique
color key to show color scheme that is used consistently throughout
the book (for example, bones are off white, enzymes are lime green,
nucleus is purple). UNIQUE! Consistent unifying themes, such as the
Big Picture and Cycle of Life sections in each chapter, help you
comprehend the interrelation of body systems and how the structure
and function of these change in relation to age and development.
Numerous feature boxes including: Language of Science and Language
of Medicine, Mechanisms of Disease, Health Matters, Diagnostic
Study, FYI, Sport and Fitness, and Career Choices provide

Human Anatomy and Physiology: Form, Function, and Homeostasis helps
students understand the human body in terms of the structures and
functions of various body systems. Clear and concise, the selected
material provides descriptions of how major organ systems,
individual organs, tissues, and cells interact to maintain
homeostasis. The text establishes a conceptual framework for
studying anatomy and physiology at the molecular, cellular, and
systematic levels. The major chapters of the text include the
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine,
cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive
systems. Chapters that focus on physiology begin with case studies
that highlight major concepts and progress to discussions of the
major processes that regulate homeostasis. All chapters include a
list of learning outcomes that are aligned with a collection of
study questions. Many standard texts provide more information than
can be covered, even in a standard, two-course progression. Human
Anatomy and Physiology streamlines information and focuses on the
most important aspects of human form and function in a no-frills,
non-intimidating manner. The book is specifically designed for
standard two-course sequences in anatomy and physiology, and is
best suited to students who have completed a semester of biology.

analysis for body fluid identification. Chapters 4-7 focuses on the
storage of biological materials and the extraction of DNA from hard
tissues. Chapters 8-10 present methods for monitoring the quality
of DNA extracts, and steps to aid in the purification of DNA.
Chapters 11-16 talk about methods on non-standard markers, such as
INDELs, Y chromosome STRs, and mitochondrial DNA. Detailed
