Cranial nerves are involved in head and neck function, and processes such as eating, speech and facial expression. This clinically oriented survey of cranial nerve anatomy and function was written for students of medicine, dentistry and speech therapy, but will also be useful for postgraduate physicians and GPs, and specialists in head and neck healthcare (surgeons, dentists, speech therapists etc.). After an introductory section surveying cranial nerve organisation and tricky basics such as ganglia, nuclei and brain stem pathways, the nerves are considered in functional groups: (1) for chewing and facial sensation; (2) for pharynx and larynx, swallowing and phonation; (3) autonomic components, taste and smell; (4) vision and eye movements; and (5) hearing and balance. In each chapter, the main anatomical features of each nerve are followed by clinical aspects and details of clinical testing. Simple line diagrams accompany the text. Detailed anatomy is not given.

Archaeological discoveries of teeth provide remarkable information on humans, animals and the health, hygiene and diet of ancient communities. In this fully revised and updated 2005 edition of his seminal text, Simon Hillson draws together a mass of material from archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines to provide a comprehensive manual on the study of teeth. The range of mammals examined has been extended to include descriptions and line drawings for 325 mammal genera from Europe, North Africa, western, central and northeastern Asia, and North America. The book also introduces dental anatomy and the microscopic structure of dental tissues, explores how the age or season of death is estimated and looks at variations in tooth size and shape. With its detailed descriptions of the techniques and equipment used and its provision of tables and charts, this book is essential reading for students of archaeology, zoology and dental science.

This book seeks to present, through a combination of morphological data and physiological and neurological studies, a comprehensive survey of our knowledge of the human brain. The major emphasis is upon structural organisation, based upon the evolution of this most complex of organs. However, functional aspects, including experimental research and clinical findings, have also been incorporated, broadening the interest for students of neurobiology and clinical medicine.

This book is about doing research, not about the results obtained. Those engaged on their first research may have had plenty of preparation about the techniques and results of prior research related to their proposed study, but may have limited knowledge of the actual strategies employed or pitfalls encountered by others who have conducted successful field and survey studies. In this book, a number of researchers with experience of working on problems including environmental stresses, population genetics, parasitic vectors and vital records describe obstacles encountered and successful strategies used in their own studies and in those of others. One learns to do research by trial and error, but accounts by experienced investigators can supplement what one learns from mentors and fellow students.

The first full study of "birth figures" and their place in early modern knowledge-making. Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant womb, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact. Whiteley reveals their origins in ancient medicine and explores their inclusion in many medieval gynecological manuscripts, focusing on their explosion in printed midwifery and surgical books in Western Europe from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century. During this period, birth figures formed a key part of the visual culture of medicine and midwifery and were widely produced. They reflected and shaped how the pregnant body was known and treated. And by providing crucial bodily knowledge to midwives and surgeons, birth figures were also deeply entangled with wider cultural preoccupations with generation and creativity, female power and agency, knowledge and its dissemination, and even the condition of the human in the universe. Birth Figures studies how different kinds of people understood childbirth and engaged with midwifery manuals, from learned physicians to midwives to illiterate listeners. Rich and detailed, this vital history reveals the importance of birth figures in how midwifery was practiced and in how people, both medical professionals and lay readers, envisioned and understood the mysterious state of pregnancy.

Gemessen an der Besucherresonanz sind die Korperwelten' des Heidelberger Anatomen Gunther von Hagens die erfolgreichste Sonderausstellung aller Zeiten. Mit grosser Heftigkeit wird jedoch bis heute uber das Fur und Wider der Prasentation plastinierter Leichen und Leichenteile gestritten. Sieht sich der Plastinator als Vorreiter einer "Demokratisierung der Anatomie," beklagen seine Widersacher eine Antastung der Menschenwurde. Gelten dem einen die kunstvoll praparierten Korper als medizinische Lehr- und Lernstucke par excellence, verurteilen die anderen vor allem in den ganzfigurigen Gestaltplastinaten ein frivoles Spielen mit der menschlichen Natur.

Dieser Sammelband vereinigt kontrare Stimmen, die sich mit substanziellen Beitragen in die Diskussion eingemischt haben. Ziel ist es, Hintergrundinformationen aus erster Hand und Anhaltspunkte fur eine Konsensfindung in gesellschaftlichen Fragen zu geben, die zentrale Aspekte des Umgangs mit dem toten wie auch mit dem lebenden Korper beruhren."

La fibra alimentare e la parte edibile degli alimenti che resiste agli enzimi digestivi.

Il ruolo della fibra alimentare nella dieta e stato rivalutato in questi ultimi anni, soprattutto per i possibili effetti sulle funzioni intestinali, motilita e secrezione e sul metabolismo glucidico e lipidico.

Integrazioni di psillio, ma anche di gomme quali guar e caraja determinano un effetto lassativo, ipoglicemizzante ed ipocolesterolemizzante piu pronto. Tuttavia, la fibra alimentare puo garantire un beneficio piu complesso perche negli alimenti si accompagna a sostanze (bioflavonoidi, carotenoidi, fitoestrogeni, ecc.) importanti per il mantenimento dello stato di salute. Scopo del volume, corredato da numerose figure e tabelle che illustrano i concetti trattati, e di aiutare i lettori a comprendere meglio il ruolo che la fibra svolge nella costipazione cronica e in altri disturbi, come l'ipercolesterolemia e l'obesita.

This revision aid is of great practical benefit to all radiology trainees studying for their professional examinations. The carefully structured questions and answers enable trainees to undertake a systematic assessment of their knowledge; they also highlight areas where additional study is required. It is developed to complement its highly illustrated parent text, Applied Radiological Anatomy (Cambridge, 1999); but both books can be used together or independently of one another. The questions posed within are relevant and useful for radiology trainees worldwide.

A knowledge of anatomy has always played a vital role in medicine, and is especially important in the everyday practice of anaesthesia. This 2002 text presents the core anatomical knowledge required for the Primary and Final FRCA examinations in a simple and straightforward manner. Adopting the philosophy of the examination itself, where candidates are often required to reproduce simple line drawings to illustrate the depth of their knowledge, the many illustrations in the book are clear and easy to understand at a glance. The illustrations are accompanied by explanatory text throughout and for each anatomical region, sample examination questions are included which follow the format of those asked in the examinations. This book will interest anaesthesia Primary and Final candidates, as well as providing a valuable quick reference for busy anaesthetists at all levels of experience.

Ob damals im Studium oder heute bei der Vorbereitung von Vortragen, ob bei der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit oder in Diskussionen zur Funktionsweise des Gehirn- immer und immer wieder kam ich an einen Punkt, an dem ich kurz und knapp Informationen zu einer Struktur haben wollte. In den gangigen Lexika fehlen die meisten Termini, und uber die Lehr-und Handbucher oder uber die Originalarbeiten ist der Zugriff recht langwierig. Kurz und gut: ein Glossar neuroanatomischer und neurofunktionaler Termini musste her. In langjahriger Arbeit entstand nun das vorliegende Glossar, das all jenen helfen soll, die "mal eben" Informationen zu Strukturen des Gehirns nachschlagen wollen. Dabei war es nicht das Ziel, aktuellste Forschungsergebnisse und -diskussionen zu dokumentieren, sondern solide Grundinformationen zusammenzustellen, die helfen, die entsprechende Struktur schnell und effizient in einen Gesamtzusammenhang einzubetten. In diesem Sinne ist das vorliegende Glossar zu verstehen. Ein herzlicher Dank geht an folgende Personen, die alle einen Teil des Glossars tragen: an Herrn Dr. Lange fur die Initiierung des Buches und die reibungsfreie Betreuung, an Frau Wilbertz fur das effiziente Vorantreiben der Produktion, an Frau Dr. Harder fur das Korrekturlesen und die wertvolle Zuarbeit, an meine Familie fur das treue Warten -und, last but not least, an die Firma iAS (www.brainmedia.de) fur die Abbildung auf der Titelseite."

As the title suggests this book has been written to assist manual therapists to understand and hone the palpatory skills which are essential to their effectiveness as practitioners. Skilful palpation is the foundation stone of all effective manual therapy assessments and treatments. The ability to use subtle and sensitive touch to examine and assess patients is essential for an accurate interpretation of the underlying problems of fascial and muscle function. The accurate interpretation of palpatory findings is difficult and comes with experience. This book aims to increase awareness of how to palpate and understanding of what is being felt. In this fourth edition of his now well-established and much loved book Leon Chaitow has introduced references to the latest research findings relating to fascia and its role in health and disease, so that practitioners can apply this knowledge in interpreting what they palpate. In addition to the author, six notable contributors from Europe and North America enhance the work's range and authority. All manual therapists, whatever their professional background, will benefit from the wealth of experience- and research-based information presented in this book.
