This book provides a complete overview of all modalities used for hand and wrist imaging, along with a complete over- view of the various disease entities that can be diagnosed. As a state-of-the-art overview of hand and wrist imaging it is a reference work for radiologists, hand surgeons, ortho- pedists, traumatologists, rheumatologists and internists and their residents in training. The chapters are written by ex- perts in musculoskeletal radiology from various European countries and the USA.
The new edition of this comprehensive guide has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest advances in symptom oriented pain management. Divided into fifteen sections, the book begins with an overview of acute and chronic pain, clinical examination and evaluation, and imaging modalities. The following chapters discuss different types of pain including neck pain, low back pain, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, scar pain, and more. Techniques for accurate diagnosis of aetiology are explained in depth. The final sections describe pain management techniques including physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and allied therapy. A complete section is dedicated to challenging cases such as phantom...
O grupo de estudos das doenças osteometabólicas, reunido na ABOOM (Associação Brasileira Ortopédica de Osteometabolismo) vem presentear a medicina brasileira e não apenas a ortopedia, reumatologia, fisiatria, medicina do esporte e geriatria; com esta obra completa, única no país e marco histórico da produção científica nacional: o "Tratado de Doenças Osteometabólicas". A cuidadosa elaboração dos temas, indo da ciência básica às mais modernas terapias e procedimentos cirúrgicos indicados na prevenção e tratamento das doenças degenerativas e metabólicas de origens diversas, como o envelhecimento biológico, as doenças decorrentes de alterações genéticas, prática incorreta ou excessiva de esforços inadequados, laborais e nos esportes; foram cuidadosamente abordados e enriquecidos pela orientação na pesquisa clínico-laboratorial e no diagnóstico por imagens.
Threats come from a variety of sources. Insider threats, as well as malicious hackers, are not only difficult to detect and prevent, but many times the authors of these threats are using resources without anybody being aware that those threats are there. Threats would not be harmful if there were no vulnerabilities that could be exploited. With IT environments becoming more complex every day, the challenges to keep an eye on all potential weaknesses are skyrocketing. Smart methods to detect threats and vulnerabilities, as well as highly efficient approaches to analysis, mitigation, and remediation, become necessary to counter a growing number of attacks against networks, servers, and endpoin...
This book is being planned as a tribute to Dr. Victor A. McKusick (1921-2008), who is well known as the “father of medical genetics”. He was long associated with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, first as a student in the 1940s, and later as a faculty member, becoming the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He was a co-founder of GENOMICS and founder and lifelong editor of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, a massive compendium of human syndromes and genetic variants. Dr. McKusick made distinguished contributions to all branches of medical genetics. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and many other academies in the world. He was awarde...
The German language offers a variety of possibilities for asking and answering new questions in psycholinguistic sentence comprehension research. The collection of papers in this volume contributes to the increasingly relevant crosslinguistic comparison of mechanisms of human sentence processing. The topics covered are incremental structure assembly, on-line ambiguity resolution, and phonological, contextual, and working memory aspects of reanalysis. The new theoretical and experimental insights presented in this volume should be of great interest to linguists and psychologists working on human language comprehension. The introductory information provided by the authors makes the volume easily accessible to advanced students.
This essay reflects on the fact that as we learn more about the biological underpinnings of our language faculty, the dominant evolutionary narrative coming out of the linguistic tradition most explicitly oriented towards biology ("biolinguistics") appears increasingly implausible. This text offers ways of opening up linguistic inquiry and fostering interdisciplinarity, taking advantage of new opportunities to provide quantitative, testable hypotheses concerning the complex evolutionary path that led to the modern human language faculty. The essay is structured around three main themes: (i) renewed appreciation for the comparative method applied to cognitive questions, leading to the identification of elementary but fundamental abstractions in non-linguistic species relevant to language; (ii) awareness of the conceptual gaps between disciplines, and the need to carefully link genotype and phenotype without bypassing any "intermediate" levels of description (certainly not the brain); and (iii) adoption of a "philosophical" outlook that puts the complexity of biological entities front and center.
