La colonna vertebrale rappresenta il distretto anatomico maggiormente sottoposto ad indagini di diagnostica per immagini e, in tale campo, gran parte del "vecchio" conserva tuttora la sua attualita. La radiologia convenzionale, infatti, mantiene spesso il ruolo di metodica imaging di approccio, frequentemente esaustiva al fine diagnostico nelle varie affezioni, dalla patologia malformativa a quella degenerativa o traumatica. Allo stesso modo la ricca semeiotica TC costituisce tuttora un corredo irrinunciabile per l'imaging del rachide, particolarmente utile nella definizione del danno nel trauma ad elevata energia.

Il "nuovo," invece, e rappresentato sia dalle nuove modalita di studio che il progresso tecnologico ha reso possibili (la TC spirale multistrato e la RM ortostatica ne costituiscono gli esempi piu promettenti) sia dal diverso approccio alla patologia vertebrale da parte del radiologo moderno, per il quale l'imaging non riveste piu il solo fine diagnostico ma costituisce anche un fondamentale strumento per la terapia interventistica.

Il volume si inserisce in questo contesto come valido strumento di aggiornamento professionale mirato per il radiologo, ma risulta inoltre un'utile opera di consultazione per l'ortopedico, il reumatologo e il fisiatra.

Die richtige Lagerung des Patienten ist im Rahmen der Operationsvorbereitung ein ganz entscheidender Faktor, der nicht zuletzt auch fur den Erfolg einer Operation verantwortlich ist.

In diesem Buch beschreibt ein erfahrener OP-Pfleger die Lagerungen, wie sie fur die haufigsten Eingriffe in der Unfallchirurgie und Orthopadie benoetigt werden. Die ubersichtliche Gliederung, der einheitliche Aufbau und die anschauliche Darstellung jeder Lagerung in speziell bearbeiteten Fotos ermoeglichen sowohl die intensive Beschaftigung mit den Lagerunstechniken als auch den schnellen Zugriff kurz vor der Operation. Eine praxisbezogene Arbeitsanleitung - eine wertvolle Hilfe im Operationsalltag.

Advances in Medicine and Biology. Volume 155 reviews whether the non-surgical and non-pharmacological interventions commonly used for knee osteoarthritis patients are effective and, if effective, which ones are the most effective. For this, randomized controlled trials were identified through electronic databases. Following this, the authors discuss how the early identification of target subjects who are at high cardiometabolic risk is important for critical lifestyle interventions and pharmacological management strategies. Additionally, they discuss the diversity, biotechnological applications and sustainable bioproduction of chitinases enzyme from Streptomyces origin, as well as their properties, production and potential applications in the industrial and biotechnological spheres. New strategies such as the use of atomic force microscopy, the isolation of cardiomyocytes, primary culturing in different types of substrates as well as transcriptomic studies are enabling the understanding of how these cells can be affected by different pathologies. As such, in this compilation these issues are updated by analyzing how new approaches to basic aspects of the structure and physiology of cardiomyocytes can be of clinical relevance. This collection also discusses chitotriosidase and acidic mammalian chitinase belonging to the chitinase family. This family includes 18 chitinases united by the features of their molecular structure. Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis is a common, multifactorial process also associated with aging, which frequently causes central canal stenosis. Several types of interbody fusion procedures that may treat of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis are examined, particularly lateral lumbar interbody fusion. The final chapter explores the role surgical intervention plays in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Die endoprothetischen Verfahren entwickelten sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre standig weiter. Inzwischen ist, vergleichbar dem Einsatz von Huftprothesen, auch der kunstliche Kniegelenksersatz sprunghaft angestiegen und wird mittlerweile in orthopadischen und chirurgischen Kliniken als Standardeingriff durchgefuhrt. Implantate, Instrumentarium und Operationstechniken werden standig verbessert, die Indikationsstellung zur Operation erweitert, so dass zunehmend auch jungere Patienten endoprothetisch versorgt werden. Bei der ansteigenden Zahl der Eingriffe bleiben Komplikationen wie Implantatslockerung, Patellaprobleme und Infektionen nicht aus, wodurch vermehrt Revisionseingriffe notwendig werden. Problemlosungen aus der Praxis fur die Praxis, erarbeitet von Spezialisten aus 14 Landern im Rahmen des Zweiten Internationalen Kniesymposiums in Strassburg."

Bone is a dynamic tissue that undergoes continual adaptations during a vertebrates lifespan to attain and preserve skeletal size, shape, and structural integrity, and plays a pivotal role in regulating mineral homeostasis in a living body. Bone homeostasis, which maintains bone mass, is artfully regulated through osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes in bone tissues. This mechanism is regulated through many hormones, cytokines and immune systems in the bone marrow microenvironment. Aging leads to a reduction in bone mass, which is reduced by a suppression of osteoblastic bone formation and an enhancement in osteoclastic bone resorption. A decrease in bone mass leads to osteoporosis and bone fracture. Osteoporosis is widely recognized as a major public health problem. Moreover, bone loss is shown to stimulate in various pathophysiological states, including inflammation, obesity, diabetes, and cancer cell bone metastasis. Disease associated with bone loss is strongly related to osteoclastic bone resorption. This book focuses recent research topics implicated in osteoclastogenesis and clinical challenges to prevent and treat bone loss.

Principally based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed human cadavers over the past decade, Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System presents a new vision of the human fascial system using anatomical and histological photographs along with microscopic analysis and biomechanical evaluation. Prof. Carla Stecco - orthopaedic surgeon and professor of anatomy and sport activities - brings together the research of a multi-specialist team of researchers and clinicians consisting of anatomists, biomechanical engineers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and plastic surgeons. In this Atlas Prof. Stecco presents for the first time a global view of fasciae and the actual connections that describe the myofascial kinetic chains. These descriptions help to explain how fascia plays a part in myofascial dysfunction and disease as well as how it may alter muscle function and disturb proprioceptive input. Prof. Stecco also highlights the continuity of the fascial planes, explaining the function of the fasciae and their connection between muscles, nerves and blood vessels. This understanding will help guide the practitioner in selecting the proper technique for a specific fascial problem with a view to enhancing manual therapy methods. Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System opens with the first chapter classifying connective tissue and explaining its composition in terms of percentages of fibres, cells and extracellular matrix. The second chapter goes on to describe the general characteristics of the superficial fascia from a macroscopic and microscopic point of view; while the third analyzes the deep fascia in the same manner. The subsequent five chapters describe the fasciae from a topographical perspective. In this part of the Atlas, common anatomical terminology is used throughout to refer to the various fasciae but it also stresses the continuity of fasciae between the different bodily regions. Over 300 unique photographs which show fascia on fresh (not embalmed) cadavers Demonstrates the composition, form and function of the fascial system Highlights the role of the deep fascia for proprioception and peripheral motor coordination Companion website - www.atlasfascial.com - with videos showing how fascia connects with ligaments

Axial Spondyloarthritis is a timely addition to the Oxford Textbooks in Rheumatology series, providing a comprehensive reference to this rapidly evolving field. The conceptual framework of the disease has now evolved beyond ankylosing spondylitis to encompass a broader concept of axial inflammation. Earlier recognition has opened the door to earlier intervention, and the understanding of the biologic basis of axial SpA has seen significant advances in recent years. The first textbook to cover axial spondyloarthritis in this level of detail from a global perspective, this volume offers a practical and complete resource compiled by a multidisciplinary and multinational team of experts. Beginning with a historical perspective on the disease, the textbook provides a comprehensive background in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and classification of axial spondyloarthritis. Immune mechanisms and genetics are covered, along with imaging and a detailed section on the range of treatments options currently available. A section on extra-articular manifestations provides a comprehensive knowledge base for the clinician treating patients with spondyloarthritis, and chapters on the economics of the disease, physical functioning, and patient registries complete the broad coverage of the topic. Practical, easy to use, yet detailed with respect to pathophysiology, diagnostics, and management, this textbook provides a comprehensive reference for rheumatologists, general practitioners, internists, and paediatricians managing patients with axial spondyloarthritis.

The book presents an evidence-based look at how this approach works. Dr. Fishman has been treating individuals with scoliosis with yoga for many years and has collected x-rays of his work, before and after, demonstrating actual lessening of the degree of curvature from the practice of Iyengar yoga.

"Yoga and Scoliosis: A Journey to Health and Healing"is a source of encouragement, knowledge, and healing for those who have scoliosis and need to treat it, but want to avoid braces and/or surgery. It briefly covers the history and treatment modalities of scoliosis and discusses the development of the spine in the embryo. "Yoga and Scoliosis" explores the complexities of the concept of alignment in the body, with the main part of the book showing how to address scoliosis utilizing Iyengar yoga. Four chapters give instruction in yoga asanas for scoliosis, and another chapter discusses yoga practice in daily living. Finally there is a Foreword by B. K. S. Iyengar, the founder of Iyengar Yoga.

Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common and typically affects young individuals; in particular, girls have higher rates of sustaining non-contact ACL injuries than boys when they engage in sports that involve jumping, pivoting, and changing direction. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for ACL injury have been identified, including anatomic variations, neuromuscular deficits, hormonal status and other related factors. Despite a lack of scientifically validated and published guidelines to help clinicians decide between conservative and surgical treatment, patient-specific criteria, such as age, pain, recurrent joint instability, desired level of activity, occupation and presence of potential concomitant injuries, should be considered. Neuromuscular training can reduce the risk of ACL injury, especially when combined with other strength training exercises. Chapter One in this book outlines the current state of knowledge regarding the risk factors, treatment and prevention of ACL injuries. Chapter Two provides is a better understanding of what associated factors are identified following ACL tear and explore the current understanding of the impact these have on treatment and subsequent outcome. The final chapter discusses surgical and rehabilitation concepts of matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation in the treatment of knee articular cartilage defects.

There are various underlying causes which initiate the sequence of events resulting in compartment syndrome including fractures, bleeding, tightly applied casts or extrinsic compressions devices, burns or vigorous exercise. The first chapter of this book serves to review the current understanding of ACS's pathophysiology and highlight implications for the modernization of diagnosis and treatment. The second chapter reviews the evidence relevant to how anesthesiologists can influence the genesis of compartment syndrome. Anesthesia may influence the development of CS through the use of regional anesthesia, optimum blood pressure control and oxygen delivery, and tailored analgesia in the peri-operative period. It provides support for the best anesthesia practices in an effort to avoid this complication which may have serious adverse effects for the patient. The three essential components of conventional pressure monitoring systems are examined in Chapter 3, which can assist in the diagnosis of CS. In Chapter 4, the authors present their research on acute limb compartment syndrome (LCS), which when left untreated, can result in muscle necrosis and limb loss, and in severe cases, death. Both the prevention and treatment of compartment syndrome in severe cases is examined in detail. Chapter 5 focuses on lower limb compartment syndrome, a clinical entity resulting from increased pressure in a non-expansile tissue space, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Chapter 6 focuses on Paraspinal Compartment Syndrome (PSCS), resulting in the "Bourdon tube effect." The last chapter, Chapter 8, reviews orbital compartment syndrome (OCS), a rare but treatable ophthalmic surgical emergency, caused most often by a retrobulbar hematoma, facial trauma being the most frequent etiological factor
