In the medical field, there is a constant need to improve
professionals' abilities to provide prompt and accurate diagnoses.
The use of image and pattern recognizing software may provide
support to medical professionals and enhance their abilities to
properly identify medical issues. Medical Image Processing for
Improved Clinical Diagnosis provides emerging research exploring
the theoretical and practical aspects of computer-based imaging and
applications within healthcare and medicine. Featuring coverage on
a broad range of topics such as biomedical imaging, pattern
recognition, and medical diagnosis, this book is ideally designed
for medical practitioners, students, researchers, and others in the
medical and engineering fields seeking current research on the use
of images to enhance the accuracy of medical prognosis.
Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse, Second Edition is
specifically developed to equip physicians, nurses, and other
medical professionals with the necessary tools to identify cases of
child sexual abuse. This new edition is revised and updated to
reflect contemporary best practices for the pediatric approach to
childhood sexual abuse and effectively treat and examine sexually
abused patients. Professionals who work with sexually abused
children face a great challenge in not only treating the immediate
outcomes of sexual abuse but also safeguarding their patients'
long-term recovery. To meet their needs and the needs of those in
their care, Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse, Second Edition
offers a wealth of evidence-based research and practical guidelines
to the evaluation of childhood sexual abuse.
The book discusses novel visualization techniques driven by the
needs in medicine and life sciences as well as new application
areas and challenges for visualization within these fields. It
presents ideas and concepts for visual analysis of data from
scientific studies of living organs or to the delivery of
healthcare. Target scientific domains include the entire field of
biology at all scales - from genes and proteins to organs and
populations - as well as interdisciplinary research based on
technological advances such as bioinformatics, biomedicine,
biochemistry, or biophysics. Moreover, they comprise the field of
medicine and the application of science and technology to
healthcare problems. This book does not only present basic research
pushing the state of the art in the field of visualization, but it
also documents the impact in the fields of medicine and life
sciences.
Child Sexual Abuse Assessment provides self-directed exercises that

Neurology for the Hospitalist is a concise and eminently practical
resource for inpatient neurological care. Internal Medicine
Hospitalists frequently face patients with neurological issues and
many feel that their training was insufficient in this area.
Hospitalists are often the primary inpatient care providers for
this patient population as many perceive Neurology to be an
Internal Medicine subspecialty. Both new and experienced
hospitalists will benefit from this handbook. In addition, medical
students and residents will find this to be an excellent at the
bedside resource. The format of the handbook allows one to quickly
learn the differential diagnosis, appropriate testing, signs to
watch for, and treatment strategies for the most frequently
encountered neurologic conditions. Each topic covers commonly asked
questions and elements that warrant close attention. For the
hospitalist in particular, proposed quality metrics are given for
major neurological diagnoses. No other book provides the
hospitalist caring for patients with neurological issues the
essential elements of that care in such a useable way. The focus is
on practical information that will guide the best care.

not only as a starter text but also as an immediate bedside
reference manual. Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics begins with
fundamentals such as how to perform, record and interpret a normal
ECG before progressing onto more complex topics, including what
effects anatomical abnormalities of the heart, cardiac and
non-cardiac conditions can have on the ECG. Each chapter has been
supplemented with a multitude of images and diagrams to illustrate
points and ease understanding, and concludes with both a summary of
key points to reinforce knowledge and a quiz for reflective
learning. Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics is an updated version
