Jan E. Leestma
R5,463 Discovery Miles 54 630 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The field of forensic neuropathology covers such controversial topics as the effects of repeated brain trauma in football players and how babies probably cannot die from being shaken. Jan Leestma is one of the most respected voices in this area. A timely update to his classic reference, Forensic Neuropathology: Third Edition presents an encyclopedic exposition of neuropathological conditions that may have forensic import. Reflecting the latest research, this edition includes expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control. It presents new perspectives and rules regarding expert testimony and evidence admissibility occasioned by Daubert and related Supreme Court cases. The book explores how these rulings affect forensic pathologists, neuropathologists, and other potential experts as well as how they interact with the legal system. Several chapters examine the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions and discuss the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. Where possible, aging and dating methodology is included for various processes. More than 325 updated full-color illustrations complement the text along with diagrams, tables, and figures that illustrate the textual material and can be useful as exhibits in court. An extensive bibliography provides background information and facilitates further research.

Kinder mit spezifischen Sprachentwicklungsstoerungen (SSES) erlernen haufig nicht in einer normalen Qualitat und Zeit das Lesen und Schreiben. Eine Ursache fur den gestoerten Schriftspracherwerb bei Kindern mit SSES wird in vorschulisch ungenugend entwickelten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten vermutet. In diesem Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob ein Zusammenhang zwischen geringem Wortschatzumfang, eingeschrankten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten und gestoertem Erwerb der Schriftsprache besteht. Dazu werden aktuell vorliegende Erkenntnisse zum Wortschatzerwerb und zur Entwicklung metaphonologischer Fahigkeiten aufgezeigt. Insbesondere Zusammenhange zwischen Wortform und metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten sowie zum Schriftspracherwerb bei spezifisch sprachentwicklungsgestoerten und sprachnormalen Kindern finden Beachtung. Ferner wird eine empirische Untersuchung dargestellt, an der insgesamt 98 (Vor)Schulkinder teilnahmen. An zwei Testzeitpunkten konnten die zur Hypothesenabklarung notwendigen Daten gewonnen werden. Aus den Erkenntnissen lassen sich plassen sich padagogische Implikationen zur Pravention von Schriftspracherwerbsstoerungen sowie Forschungsdesiderate ableiten.

R4,367 Discovery Miles 43 670 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume provides the latest research on circulating tumor cells aimed for cancer researchers, scientists, and molecular oncologists. It presents the basic concepts behind circulating tumor cells (CTCs), metastatic biology, and potential applications as to how CTCs can be used in diagnostic biomarkers. CTCs are cells that have detached from the primary tumor and circulate in the bloodstream. Such cells may become "seeds" for the growth of additional tumors. The field of analysis surrounding cancer metastasis has been steadily growing, and CTCs provide effective biomarkers that can be examined in peripheral blood through a minimally invasive "liquid biopsy" procedure. CTCs offer several exciting applications, not only as markers of disease progression but also as biomarkers of monitoring response to therapy and companion diagnostics for novel anticancer drug development. In recent years there has been rapid growth and worldwide developments on CTCs, which span both the basic sciences and biomedical engineering fields.

R3,439 Discovery Miles 34 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The theory of the sick lobe states that breast carcinoma is a lobar disease developing most often within a single lobe, meaning that, at an early stage, breast carcinoma occupies a limited, anatomically well-defined portion of the breast. This theory unites observed patterns from the genetic, developmental and morphological perspectives, into an overall concept. Breast Cancer: A Lobar Disease, presents this hypothesis and its consequences. The body of evidence, pro and contra, generated in recent years will be presented in this volume. The chapters, all authored by leading experts in their respective areas, gather evidence from the perspectives of epidemiology, genetics, radiology, anatomy, developmental biology, morphology, endoscopy, ultrasound and therapeutics to give the reader a full picture of recent developments regarding the sick lobe hypothesis. Tibor Tot, MD PhD is Head of the Pathology and Clinical Cytology Department at the Central Hospital of Falun, in Sweden; breast cancer expert of the National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden; and regular Course Director of the breast pathology program, the official educational program for Swedish residents in clinical pathology, oncology, radiology and surgery.

This first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to a large section of the medical community. The first section of the book reviews the historical, medical, legal, and ethical aspects of brain death. That is followed by two chapters on the pathophysiology of brain death as investigated in small and large animal models. This includes a review of the many hormonal changes, including the neuroendocrine- adrenergic 'storm', that takes place during and following the induction of brain death, and how they impact metabolism. The next section of the book reviews various effects of brain death, namely its impact on thyroid function, the inflammatory response that develops, and those relating to innate immunity. The chapters relating to assessment and management of potential organ donors will be of interest to a very large group of transplant surgeons and physicians as well as critical care and neurocritical care physicians and nurses. Neurologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and pathologists will also be interested, especially in the more basic science sections on various aspects of brain-death and hormonal therapy. Organ procurement organizations and transplant coordinators worldwide will also be interested in this title. Other chapters will be of interest to medical historians, medico-legal experts, and ethicists.
