This reference provides an authoritative overview of the role of
ultrasonography and MR imaging technologies in the examination and
assessment of the central nervous system of the fetus and neonate.
Spanning advancements in fetal ultrasound, in-utero MR, the imaging
of the neonatal brain, and the analysis of normal and abnormal
brain development, this guide paints a vivid picture of the
utilization and development of imaging technologies in modern
prenatal and pediatric medicine.
Paul Griffiths, Professor of Virology at the Royal Free Hospital
and University College London studied medicine at St Bartholomew's
Hospital in London and has spent his professional life in medical
virology. He has an international reputation, unrivalled expertise
and insight into the effect that viruses can have on patients and
their families. Professor Griffiths uses this experience and
stories of real patients to demonstrate how cytomegalovirus has
avoided detection and treatment for so long. He introduces you to
CMV, an intelligent virus which evolved millions of years ago
intending to infect everyone on the planet during childhood,
spreading silently throughout the world whilst remaining
unrecognised. Professor Griffiths explains how modern living has
jolted this stealth virus out of its complacency, rapidly altering
the conditions it needs to survive. Over a period of 100 years (a
blink of the eye in evolutionary time) humans have changed their
world to become cleaner, longer living life forms which avoid
childhood infections, have babies later in life, swap organs during
transplantation and even suppress their immune systems with drugs
or HIV. Professor Griffiths describes how and why this virus has
come out of obscurity to become a top target for elimination.
Although you may never have heard its name, there is a good chance
that you, your family and your friends have encountered it. After
you have heard The Stealth Virus tell its own story, its victims
are given a voice too. This book describes how CMV is being
confronted and introduces the researchers who will defend us
against its insidious and sometimes devastating consequences. This
book brings medical virology to life. It is dedicated to those who
have encountered The Stealth Virus and to those who have declared
war upon it.
This revision aid is of great practical benefit to all radiology trainees studying for their professional examinations. The carefully structured questions and answers enable trainees to undertake a systematic assessment of their knowledge; they also highlight areas where additional study is required. It is developed to complement its highly illustrated parent text, Applied Radiological Anatomy (Cambridge, 1999); but both books can be used together or independently of one another. The questions posed within are relevant and useful for radiology trainees worldwide.
