This volume provides researchers with up-to-date protocols and
takes a close look at current research and promising applications.
Optogenetics: Methods and Protocols contains a collection of
recently developed technical protocols on optogenetic applications
in neuroscience, brain mapping, treatment of neurological
disorders, and restoration of visual function. Several introductory
and discussion chapters offer a wide overview about sources and
diversity of optogenetic tools, design strategies, and potential
applications in other fields like plant research. Written in the
highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format,
chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of
the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting edge and thorough, Optogenetic:
Methods and Protocols, delivers an interdisciplinary view of
optogenetic applications and its potential to develop as a valuable
tool for basic research, as well as biomedical and biotechnological
applications.
Defining organs at risk is a crucial task for radiation oncologists
when aiming to optimize the benefit of radiation therapy, with
delivery of the maximum dose to the tumor volume while sparing
healthy tissues. This book will prove an invaluable guide to the
delineation of organs at risk of toxicity in patients undergoing
radiotherapy. The first and second sections address the anatomy of
organs at risk, discuss the pathophysiology of radiation-induced
damage, and present dose constraints and methods for target volume
delineation. The third section is devoted to the radiological
anatomy of organs at risk as seen on typical radiotherapy planning
CT scans, with a view to assisting the radiation oncologist to
recognize and delineate these organs for each anatomical region –
head and neck, mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis. The book is
intended both for young radiation oncologists still in training and
for their senior colleagues wishing to reduce intra-institutional
variations in practice and thereby to standardize the definition of
clinical target volumes. ​
This text is a regional, descriptive tour of the head and neck. It
is intended as an adjunct to the exploration of the head and neck
in the laboratory setting. In addition to a description of the
entire head and neck, it also contains lists of key regional
structures as well as checklists of important steps to undertake in
the gross anatomy laboratory when approaching each region.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the literature
available on satureja covering the ethnomedicine, micromorphology,
the main secondary metabolites in its various species, as well it's
important biological and pharmacological activities and the
underlying mechanism of action for some of its medicinal
properties. There is also discussion of the pharmacological
evidence for the various therapeutic activities of Satureja spp.,
especially on the basis of traditional usage, the treatment of
muscle pains, cramps, diarrhea, stomach pain, and blood pressure
along with some new areas such as cytoprotection and
anti-hyperlipidemia. This book offers a useful guide for
researchers in the field of pharmaceutical sciences and natural
medicines as well as students and residents in the fields of
pharmacognosy and phytochemistry.
This outstanding collection of reproducible, royalty-free medical
and anatomical engravings offers a fascinating, visually
encyclopedic exploration of the body and the healing arts.
Featuring more than two thousand illustrations that date back to
the late Victorian era through the early twentieth century, this
timeless resource serves as the ultimate visual reference for
anyone with an interest in the health field.
The two-part volume begins with a variety of finely detailed
anatomical illustrations--including the skeleton and skull, spine,
muscles, organs, and more. Part two offers images from the general
realm of science--from diseases and injuries to therapeutic
treatments--as well as peripheral areas such as apothecary and
pharmaceutical sciences. Smaller sections cover issues such as
death and dying, alternative healing therapies, and the history of
medicine. Indispensable for medical professionals, as well as
artists and illustrators, this would make a valuable addition to
anyone's reference shelf.
* The definitive reference work on arterial hemodynamics. * Fully
updated and revised to cover all recent advancements in the field.
Netter's Concise Orthopaedic Anatomy is a best-selling, portable,
full-color resource excellent to have on hand during your
orthopaedic rotation, residency, or as a quick look-up in practice.
Jon C. Thompson presents the latest data in thoroughly updated
diagnostic and treatment algorithms for all conditions while
preserving the popular at-a-glance table format from the previous
edition. You'll get even more art from the Netter Collection as
well as new radiologic images that visually demonstrate the key
clinical correlations and applications of anatomical imaging. For a
fast, memorable review of orthopaedic anatomy, this is a must-have.
Maintains the popular at-a-glance table format that makes finding
essential information quick and convenient. Contains useful
clinical information on disorders, trauma, history, physical exam,
radiology, surgical approaches, and minor procedures in every
chapter. Lists key information on bones, joints, muscles, and
nerves in tables correlate to each Netter image. Highlights key
material in different colors-pearls in green and warnings in
red-for easy reference. Features both plain film and advanced
radiographic (CT and MRI) images, along with cross-sectional
anatomic plates for an even more thorough visual representation of
the material. This "updated" second edition includes an eBook with
the print. The ExpertConsult eBook includes test-yourself images,
and notes and highlighting capabilities. All other content is the
same as the 2010 2nd edition.
