A new era for liver anatomy has dawned. With the development of
multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) in the 1990s, precise
volume-rendered 3-D images could be constructed, leading to new
observations. Liver anatomy has since been reevaluated from the
standpoint of portal segmentation and drainage veins and includes a
reclassification of the liver. Better surgical results and fewer
complications have supported the rationale for the new liver
anatomy. Based on the work and spirit of Team Chiba from Chiba
University, this publication is a testament to the collaboration,
perseverance, and innovation in the field of liver anatomy. With
high regard for the early pioneers in this field, Team Chiba can be
credited with pioneering its own antiviral treatment, percutaneous
ethanol injection therapy, radiation therapy, and US-guided hepatic
resections. It is the team's hope that the new liver anatomy will
find acceptance worldwide and will contribute to the advancement of
the health and welfare of mankind.

This is by far the most exhaustive biography on Niels Stensen,
anatomist, geologist and bishop, better known as "Nicolaus Steno".
We learn about the scientist's family and background in Lutheran
Denmark, of his teachers at home and abroad, of his studies and
travels in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Bohemia and Germany, of his many pioneering achievements
in anatomy and geology, of his encounters with Swammerdam, Malpighi
and with members of the newly established Royal Society of London
and the Accademia del Cimento in Florence, and with the philosopher
Spinoza. It further treats Stensen's religious conversion. The book
includes the full set of Steno's anatomical and geological
scientific papers in original language. The editors thoroughly
translated the original Latin text to English, and included
numerous footnotes on the background of this bibliographic and
scientific treasure from the 17th century.

This image-rich book explores the practice as well as the theory of
visual representation and presents us with the importance of
designing appropriate images for communication to specific target
audiences. This includes the appropriate choice of high-tech
digital or low-tech analogue technologies in image-making for
communication within the medical education, biological research and
community health contexts. We hear from medical students about the
value of using clay modelling in their understanding of anatomy,
from educators and curriculum designers about visual affordances in
medical education and from a community-driven project in South
Africa about their innovative use of locally designed images and
culture-specific narratives for communicating important health
information to marginalised communities. A chapter explores the
evolution of scientific visualisation and representation of big
data to a variety of audiences, and another presents the innovative
3D construction of internal cellular structures from microscopic 2D
slices. As we embrace blended learning in anatomy education, a
timely chapter prompts us to think further about and contribute to
the ongoing discourse around important ethical considerations in
the use and sharing of digital images of body donors. This book
will appeal to educators, medical illustrators, curriculum
designers, post-graduate students, community health practitioners
and biomedical researchers.

Stephen G. Gilbert adds to his acclaimed series of dissection
guides with Pictorial Anatomy of the Fetal Pig. Through his book on
fetal pig anatomy, Stephen G. Gilbert begins to explain the
important differences of warm and cold-blooded animals. He treats
his guide as a tool to further understand explanations of fetal pig
form and function; and how the internal environment (the biological
systems inside the animal) interacts with the external environment.
Gilbert uses this guide not only to teach anatomy, but also to give
a sufficient vocabulary to students so they can use it to explain
biological processes of the organism. In detailed, elaborate
drawings of the various biological systems of the fetal pig,
instructors are able to point out anatomical features that cannot
be dissected in detail by the learning student. Nor is any student
of pig anatomy left without a sufficient means to know and
communicate the layers of fetal pig form.
The third and previous two volumes offer the scientific community the works and thoughts of Santiago Ramn y Cajal by the faithful rendition of the original Spanish version of the Texture of the Nervous System of Man and the Vertebrates (1899-1904), with additional facts contained in the French translation (1909-1911). These non-English versions are being quoted an average of 200 times yearly in the scientific literature. The collection will represent the "definitive Cajal" to be used by scientists and scholars interested in the original thoughts of probably the most prominent neuroscientist of all time.
The aging process, like most (all?) things in the universe, is a
puzzle. It is such a fundamental occurrence, common to all living
things, that it ironically may be the most complicated and
perplexing puzzle to solve. There are, of course, puzzles
sufficient in number to occupy all the scientists and philosophers
who have ever lived a thousand times over. Yet what other
phenomenon affects everyone of us as much as growing old? Curiosity
about the ubiquity of aging as a phenomenon, boosted perhaps by an
only natural fear of that same phenomenon as an undeniable manifes
tation of our own mortality, has led to the compilation of data on
the aging process, which have accumulated as rapidly as the elderly
who might benefit from those data. Most of the scientific data on
the biology of aging are at the biochemical and physiological
levels, while comparatively little information has been avail able
at the anatomical level. Because of this, a two-volume set called
Aging and Cell Structure was conceived, the first volume having
been published in 1981 and the second volume being published
concurrently with the present one on cell function. The emphasis on
training of scientists and other individuals in advanced education
has, during past decades, been one of increased specialization. Not
merely do we specialize in physiology, anatomy, zoology, or
literature, but in glomerular filtration, synaptic junctions, tree
frogs of Brazil, or English poetry of the nineteenth century."
The term cytoskeleton in muscle and nonmuscle cells refers to
fibrous proteins that are directly or indirectly associated with
cell shape, contractility, and/or motility. These cytoskeletal
elements include microtubules and associated proteins,
microfilaments and their binding proteins, and lastly, intermediate
filaments. Even though the structure and function of myosin and
tro- pomyosin have been extensively investigated in muscle ceIls,
considerably less is known about their functions in nonmuscle
ceIls; they are often referred to generically as actin-binding
proteins, as are a-actinin, filamin, vinculin, and others. Indeed,
most nonmuscle researchers are unaware that the term intermedi- ate
filament was derived from the observation that the diameter of
intermedi- ate filaments is intermediate between those of actin (5
nm) and myosin (15 nm) and not intermediate between those of actin
(5 nm) and microtubules (25 nm). It has therefore been the purpose
of this series to attempt to bridge the communication gap that
appears to exist between muscle and nonmuscle researchers. For
those students and active scientists who are faced with the task of
absorbing new data and concepts at an ever-accelerating rate,
review essays are an excellent way to keep up. The essays in this
volume, as weIl as in the previous ones, focus on topics of current
interest. They are intended to be critical rather than exhaustive.
This book is a collection of some of the papers presented at the
EMBO Lecture Course on "Lymphocyte stimulation: differential
sensitivity to radiation; biochemical and immunological
properties." The Course was organized with the aim of fostering
interactions between photoradiobiologists and immunologists
interested in the problem of DNA damage and repair studied at the
lymphocyte level. The papers presented in this book are mainly
centered on the problem of radiation sensitivity of lymphocytes in
relation to DNA repair phenomena. The radiation biology of human
lymphocytes is dominated by two phenomena: (a) high
radiosensitivity of lymphocytes which die in interphase (b)
PHA-induced relative radioresistance of those cells which, after
stimulation, escape the interphase death and eventually die in
mitosis. These phenomena constitute a good system to study some of
the factors which control the response of human cells to
irradiation. In addition it is possible to correlate the
development of the relative radioresistance in PHA-stimulated
lymphocytes with the biochemical changes connected with the
transformation processes. The papers presented in this book
constitute a real contribution to the scientific knowledge in this
field of research and suggest that lymphocytes could be a very
interesting test material useful for measuring the DNA repair
capability of human cells to furnish an indication of individual
radiosensitivity in man.
Based on a detailed study of rich archival sources, Model experts
explores practices of model production and display, and reveals the
often invisible labours of the co-operating artisans, anatomists,
and administrators. The book, now available in paperback, shows
that the models were central to a remarkable political experiment:
'La Specola' opened in 1775 as the Royal Museum of Physics and
Natural History, one of the first public science museums in Europe.
As a venue for public enlightenment, the museum displayed model
anatomies to create the model citizen. The study also moves beyond
the borders of Tuscany, following a set of Florentine waxes to
Vienna to explore the diverse reactions of medical professionals
and general audiences as the models travelled in enlightened
Europe. -- .
This book is in many ways a sequel to The Biochemistry
ojGlycoproteins and Proteoglycans. The enormous recent progress in
understanding the biological roles of glycoproteins has prompted
the present volume. The reasons for studying glycoproteins have
multiplied, and in the present volume the roles played by
glycoproteins are explored in a variety of biological situations.
The first two chapters describe molecules involved in
cell-substratum and cell-cell interactions in a broad sense, and
also focus on recent progress in identifying specific attachment
molecules. Our understanding of how normal processes, such as
cellular differentiation and tissue organization, are regulated is
dependent on understanding how cells interact with the
extracellular matrix. When these processes go awry the consequences
can be tragic, for example, when manifest as birth de fects and
cancer. Our ability to devise appropriate therapies is in many
cases limited by our understanding of such cell-matrix
interactions. The third chapter explores the roles by glycoproteins
during early mammalian development. The carbohydrate portions
c1early play very important roles in presenting information during
early embryogenesis, and an unusual tumor stern cell, the embryonal
carcinoma, looks very promising in pro viding an experimental
system for understanding how the expression of these complex
carbohydrate determinants is regulated. The next three chapters
explore the biology of glycoproteins in distinct situations: in the
immune system, in the nervous system, and during erythropoiesis."
For the beginner or for the accomplished sinus surgeon, mastering
the anatomy of the lateral nasal wall is an ongoing challenge. Even
though there are excellent standard anatomical references and
equally outstanding sinus courses with cadaver dissection, a
reference depicting the surgical anatomy is needed. A step-by-step
surgical approach on the anterior nasal spine to the anterior wall
of the sphenoid is presented. The sinus surgeon is confronted with
a wide range of different spaces created by the ethmoid bone. No
other bone in the human body has so many anatomical variations.
Four critical anatomical structures are emphasized as the
foundation for a precise approach to surgery of the maxillary,
anterior ethmoid, frontal, and posterior ethmoid sinuses. The goal
of this book is to meet the tremendous challenge of offering an
anatomical approach which will serve the sinus surgeon of every
level of experience and expertise.
Epithelial cells are present in many different tissues in the body,
and possess a diverse number of functional properties. However, all
epithelial cells share some common characteristics. The cells
possess a morphological polarity (an-apical and basolateral
surface), and are interconnected by tight junctions. The epithelial
cells also possess the capacity to transport select solutes across
the monolayer. Transport systems localized on either the apical or
basolateral surface are respon sible for this vectorial transport.
Such characteristics of epithelial cells can be examined in the
tissue culture situation. This volume discusses the use of cell
culture techniques to study these fundamental properties of
epithelial cells. Ma jor questions concerning epithelia which may
be examined in culture are ad dressed. The approaches which are
taken to answer these questions are described in detail with
regards to kidney cell cultures. Similar investigations may be done
with epithelial cell cultures derived from other tissues, following
the kidney cell culture paradigm."
