This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Biomedical Simulation (ISBMS) which was held in Strasbourg, France, in October 2014. Biomedical modeling and simulation are at the center stage of worldwide efforts to understand and replicate the behavior and function of the human organism. Large scale initiatives such as the Physiome Project, Virtual Physiological Human and Blue Brain Project aim to develop advanced computational models that will facilitate the understanding of the integrative function of cells, organs, and organisms, with the ultimate goal of delivering truly personalized medicine. At the same time, progress in modeling, numerical techniques and haptics has enabled more complex and interactive simulations. The 27 revised full papers (including 16 regular and 11 short papers) were carefully selected from 45 submissions and cover topics such as training systems and haptics, physics-based registration, vascular modeling and simulation, image and simulation, modeling, surgical planning, analysis, characterization and validation.
L'endométriose est une pathologie fréquente et un vrai problème de santé publique dont la prise en charge reste complexe. La chirurgie de l'endométriose est une chirurgie fonctionnelle qui requiert une expertise et parfois un recours en amont à une réunion de concertation pluridisciplinaire. En effet, la prise en charge reste multidisciplinaire et nécessite de définir des parcours de soins car les enjeux sont nombreux, notamment en termes de fertilité et de complications opératoires. Cette problématique est abordée dans la partie introductive de l'ouvrage. L'ouvrage décrit ensuite les principales interventions chirurgicales de l'endométriose et les alternatives. Le déroulé p...
Biomechanics of the Female Reproductive System: Breast and Pelvic Organs: From Models to Patients synthesizes complementary advances in women's reproductive biomechanics, medical imaging analysis, patient-specific characterization, and computational finite element models. The book discusses the biomechanical aspects related to the breast and female pelvic floor system at each step of development. The table of contents also covers certain events and diseases, including cancers, delivery, aging, breast, hysterectomy or prolapse surgery. It presents the main biomechanical experimental results obtained and models developed this last decade to highlight the importance of accounting for patient-sp...
This volume comprises the latest developments in both fundamental science and patient-specific applications, discussing topics such as: cellular mechanics; injury biomechanics; biomechanics of heart and vascular system; medical image analysis; and both patient-specific fluid dynamics and solid mechanics simulations. With contributions from researchers world-wide, the Computational Biomechanics for Medicine series of titles provides an opportunity for specialists in computational biomechanics to present their latest methodologies and advancements.

Mal connue, peu médiatisée, l’endométriose touche pourtant près d’une femme sur 10 en France. Souvent banalisée et ramenée à de simples règles douloureuses, cette pathologie est encore difficilement diagnostiquée, ce qui retarde d’autant une prise en charge adaptée et laisse un nombre important de jeunes filles et de femmes dans la souffrance. Il est donc essentiel de mieux informer patientes et médecins sur les causes, les symptômes et les traitements de l’endométriose. C’est la mission d’Endofrance et celle de ce petit livre.
This work presents a fully illustrated guide to the life and work of Michelangelo Buonarroti, an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. It includes chapters on the early sculptures such as Moses, David, and Cupid, along with Michelangelo's work in paintings such as the Last Judgement and the Sistine Chapel. Content includes: Introduction Childhood and Youth (1475-1505) Michelangelo and Julius II (1505-1512) The Failure of the Great Plans (1513-1534) Vittoria Colonna (1535-1547) Old Age and Death (1547-1564) The Genius of Michelangelo and His Influence on Italian Art Chronological Table Catalogue of the Principal Works of Michelangelo in Public Collections Note on the Drawings Bibliography Index
The initial objective of this work was to reduce stress incontinence surgery from a major surgical procedure (requiring up to ten days in hospital) to a minor day-care operation. From the beginning it was clear that the two major impediments to achieving this goal were post operative pain and urinary retention. Addressing these problems became a long and winding road and culminated in the Integral Theory. The IVS 'tension-free' tape operation was inspired by Dr Robert Zacharin's anatomical studies. Though Zacharin suggested that the ligaments and muscles around the urethra were important for urinary continence control, he did not say how. The observation that implanted foreign materials crea...
This book is the product of an important collaboration between clinicians of the manual therapies and scientists in several disciplines that grew out of the three recent International Fascia Research Congresses (Boston, Amsterdam, and Vancouver). The book editors, Thomas Findley MD PhD, Robert Schleip PhD, Peter Huijing PhD and Leon Chaitow DO, were major organizers of these congresses and used their extensive experience to select chapters and contributors for this book. This volume therefore brings together contributors from diverse backgrounds who share the desire to bridge the gap between theory and practice in our current knowledge of the fascia and goes beyond the 2007, 2009 and 2012 co...
