From the beginning of time, mankind has searched the heavens to solve mysteries that would explain their existence on this unique blue planet. Huge telescopes have been developed that reveal some of the amazing intricacies of the universe. The Doctors McEndree turn these telescopes into microscopes. The Doctors reveal in a unique way how God has placed within every system of the body, every organ, and every microscopic cell, a revelation of His plan of salvation. The story of redemption is told in the masterwork of God as we search the universe within the human body sanctuary. As God revealed Himself in the symbols found in the heavenly and earthly sanctuary, He reveals Himself again in the construction and workings of the Body Temple. God illumines His character of goodness, grace, mercy and love in microcosm in this unique evidence of anatomy and physiology as God made manifest His masterpiece-The Body Temple.

How is it that we can recognize photos from our high school yearbook decades later, but cannot remember what we ate for breakfast yesterday? And why are we inclined to buy more cans of soup if the sign says "LIMIT 12 PER CUSTOMER" rather than "LIMIT 4 PER CUSTOMER?" In "Kluge, "Gary Marcus argues convincingly that our minds are not as elegantly designed as we may believe. The imperfections result from a haphazard evolutionary process that often proceeds by piling new systems on top of old ones--and those systems don't always work well together. The end product is a "kluge," a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. Taking us on a tour of the essential areas of human experience--memory, belief, decision making, language, and happiness--Marcus unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the evolution of the human mind and simultaneously sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.
Cell-material interface plays a key role in the interaction of cells with artificial materials designed for construction of body implants or tissue engineering. Physical and chemical properties of the material surface, such as its polarity, wettability, electrical charge and conductivity, roughness and morphology, rigidity or elasticity as well as the presence of various chemical functional groups, strongly influence the cell adhesion. The latter is mediated by adsorption of cell adhesion-mediating molecules (eg: vitronectin, fibronectin, collagen, laminin, fibrinogen) from the serum of the culture medium or body fluids in appropriate spatial conformation or flexibility enabling the accessibility of specific sites on these molecules (eg: certain amino acid sequences or saccharide-based ligands) by adhesion receptors on the cell membrane (eg: integrins). After binding these ligands, the adhesion receptors are recruited into focal adhesion plaques, where they associate with cascades of various structural and signalling molecules, such as cytoskeletal proteins and kinases. By these cascades, the signal provided by the cell-material interaction is delivered to the cell nucleus. It influences the gene expression, and thus the further behavior of cells, manifested by their viability, synthesis of various molecules, proliferation, differentiation, functioning, immune activation, stress adaptation or cell death. This interdisciplinary review involves: (i) physical modifications of the material surface by plasma discharge, irradiation with ions or ultraviolet light and effects of these modifications on the surface wettability, electrical conductivity and formation of chemical functional groups influencing cell adhesion, (ii) deposition of organic or inorganic layers on the material surfaces, especially those nanostructured (eg: nanofibers of fibrin and extracellular matrix molecules, carbon nanoparticles, such as nanodiamonds, fullerenes and nanotubes, nanocomposite metal/C:H layers), (iii) functionalisation of the material surface with amino acids and oligopeptidic ligands for cell adhesion receptors (e.g., GRGDSG), (iv) effect of all these modifications on the extent and strength of adhesion of vascular and bone-derived cells, cell proliferation activity, switch between cell proliferation and differentiation, expression of cell-type specific markers of differentiation and other cell functions.

The fifth edition of Lachman's Case Studies in Anatomy is a thoroughly revised edition of a popular collection of 50 anatomical cases. Each chapter starts with a clinical case presentation, followed by diagnosis and therapy and then an extensive discussion of the anatomy that is relevant to the case. The patient presentations provide the history and physical examination findings in a format consistent with that which the student will utilize in clinical training. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are discussed have been brought up-to-date and are consistent with current medical practice. Cases represent clinical encounters required in clerkship curricula. This should allow students to draw from this book throughout their four years in medical school. The scope of the book has been expanded to include embryological development by including three new cases of developmental abnormalities. Many new figures and have included many diagnostic images including radiographs, CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds. To help the reader feel confident that the major anatomical points have been mastered, review questions and answers have been added at the end of each unit.
