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.
Compact and portable, Netter's Surgical Anatomy Review P.R.N. is
the easiest and most convenient way to refresh need-to-know anatomy
for surgeons-in-training. Vibrant, detailed artwork by preeminent
medical illustrator Frank H. Netter, MD makes it easy to visualize
the anatomy that underlies the procedures and clinical conditions
you see during a surgical residency or clerkship. This concise,
instant review of anatomy and clinical correlates is perfect for
"just in time" use. Updates include new chapters on heart and lung
anatomy, diagnoses, and procedures. Expert Consult eBook version
included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you
to search all of the text, figures, images, and references from the
book on a variety of devices.
Humans receive the vast majority of sensory perception through the
eyes and ears. This non-technical book examines the everyday
physics behind hearing and vision to help readers understand more
about themselves and their physical environment. It begins with a
thorough discussion of sound and light waves then goes on to
discuss how our eyes and ears gather and process information from
those waves. The ears and eyes are examined in their physical form
in humans as well as in other members of the animal kingdom to show
differences in how each receive information from the same waves and
how hearing and vision may have evolved in humans. The book also
discusses the perception of sound by examples such as sound
intensity, decibels, and masking while also covering the basis of
music and resonance. Vision and the perception of light and color
are also discussed at length including the psychology of color
perception and color mixing.

Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) treat postmenopausal estrogen receptor
positive tumours, which constitute the majority of breast cancer
patients. This comprehensive volume brings together the current
knowledge from different relevant areas, including molecular
mechanisms and translational aspects of drug resistance in AIs.
Topics covered include research, experimental , and clinical data
specifically focused on AI resistance in breast cancer. The volume
will include three sections. The first section covers general
knowledge about aromatase inhibitors, including regulation of
aromatase genes, and structure and function of aromatase protein.
The second section provides the detailed mechanisms of resistance
to AIs, while the third section explores prediction of resistance
and potential strategies to overcome resistance. Breast cancer is
the most common female cancer and AIs significantly improve
treatments outcomes compatibly to previously used endocrine
treatments. However 10-15% of post-operative patients develop a
relapse during adjuvant treatment with AIs; about 25-50% of the
patients do not respond to AIs in neo-adjuvant or metastatic
setting, and the majority of metastatic patients who initially
respond develop resistance within 3 years. There is an important
need to understand these mechanisms of resistance in order to
develop methods of preventing or overcoming the resistance to AIs,
which will ensure a more successful outcome in treating breast
cancer.
Beautiful illustrations explain complex techniques and methods.
Covers key themes relevant to the VTCT and ITEC qualifications.
Extra web resources, including a full range of colour diagrams to
label, can be used to revise for assessments. Expert authors ensure
the highest quality advice and support.
Of the approximately 640 muscles in the human body, over 10% of
them are found in the craniofacial region. The craniofacial muscles
are involved in a number of crucial non-locomotor activities, and
are critical to the most basic functions of life, including vision,
taste, chewing and food manipulation, swallowing, respiration,
speech, as well as regulating facial expression and controlling
facial aperture patency. Despite their importance, the biology of
these small skeletal muscles is relatively unexplored. Only
recently have we begun to understand their unique embryonic
development and the genes that control it and characteristic
features that separate them from the skeletal muscle stereotype.
This book is the most comprehensive reference to date on
craniofacial muscle development, structure, function, and disease.
It details the state-of-the-art basic science of the craniofacial
muscles, and describes their unique response to major neuromuscular
conditions. Most importantly, the text highlights how the
craniofacial muscles are different from most skeletal muscles, and
why they have been viewed as a distinct allotype. In addition, the
text points to major gaps in our knowledge about these very
important skeletal muscles and identified key gaps in our knowledge
and areas primed for further study and discovery.
A stunningly realistic set of +200 images of the human skeleton The
images of the human skeletal system reveal all facets of the human
skeleton model (skull, spine, rib cage, shoulder, arm, hand,
pelvis, leg and foot) including bone fractures. Skeleton Atlas
combines realism, beauty and educational value for students of
skeletal anatomy. Making it a perfect match for everybody with an
interest for anatomy and medical professionals such as osteopaths,
chiropractors, physicians, nurses, physical therapists... The
visuals offer a clear and extensive look into the skeleton. 3D
models based on actual scanned skeletal data were used to recreate
the most intricate details of the human skeleton. Special attention
has been given to fractures, since this is a subject commonly
searched for. Skeleton Atlas contains the following chapters: -
Chapter 1. Human Skeleton - Chapter 2. Human Skull - Chapter 3.
Human Spine - Chapter 4. Human Rib cage - Chapter 5. Human Shoulder
Bones - Chapter 6. Human Arm & Forearm Bones - Chapter 7. Human

In this day where research grants are the primary focus, many young
investigators are thrown into neurosciences courses without any
prior preparation in neuroanatomy. This book is designed to help
prepare them by introducing many of the fundamentals of the nervous
system. It represents the essentials of an upper level biology
course on the central nervous system. It is not designed to be a
clinical approach to the nervous system, but rather it approaches
the nervous system from a basic science perspective that
intertwines both structure and function as an organizing teaching
and learning model. Medical and dental examples are included but
the main focus is on neuroscience.
