Colonic Motility
Three distinct types of contractions perform colonic motility functions. Rhythmic phasic contractions (RPCs) cause slow net distal propulsion with extensive mixing/turning over. Infrequently occurring giant migrating contractions (GMCs) produce mass movements. Tonic contractions aid RPCs in their motor function. The spatiotemporal patterns of these contractions differ markedly. The amplitude and distance of propagation of a GMC are several-fold larger than those of an RPC. The enteric neurons and smooth muscle cells are the core regulators of all three types of contractions. The regulation of contractions by these mechanisms is modifiable by extrinsic factors: CNS, autonomic neurons, hormone...
What the Body Commands
A novel theory of pain, according to which pains are imperatives—commands issued by the body, ordering you to protect the injured part. In What the Body Commands, Colin Klein proposes and defends a novel theory of pain. Klein argues that pains are imperative; they are sensations with a content, and that content is a command to protect the injured part of the body. He terms this view “imperativism about pain,” and argues that imperativism can account for two puzzling features of pain: its strong motivating power and its uninformative nature. Klein argues that the biological purpose of pain is homeostatic; like hunger and thirst, pain helps solve a challenge to bodily integrity. It does ...
Features and Assessments of Pain, Anesthesia, and Analgesia
Features and Assessments of Pain, Anaesthesia and Analgesia examines the syndromes of pain and how they interlink with anesthesia and analgesics. The book covers assessments, screening and resources, and provides applications to related areas of medicine. It explores how the perception of pain results from a multifaceted interaction between illness beliefs, age, gender, time of onset, stress, socioeconomic status, and any number of other factors. In addition, the book scrutinizes how the neuroscience of pain in one condition may be relevant to understanding pain observed in other conditions. Provides key facts on focused areas of knowledge Includes a mini-dictionary of terms and defines frequently used concepts Describes other fields of neuroscience, pain science and anesthesia Explains other pharmacologic agents that may be necessary
Specialty Imaging: Acute and Chronic Pain Intervention E-Book
Practical and clinically oriented, Specialty Imaging: Acute and Chronic Pain Intervention provides unique, authoritative guidance on the use of image-guided techniques for periprocedural analgesia and pain management procedures. Ideal for practicing and trainee interventional radiologists, pain physicians, and anesthesiologists, this one-stop resource is tailored to your decision support needs, with coverage of everything from neuroanatomy and specific pain conditions to interventional procedures for acute and chronic pain. Provides up-to-date content informed by best practices and the perspectives of both interventional radiology and anesthesiology Discusses key topics such as multimodal op...
The Origin of Mountains
The Origins of Mountains approaches mountains from facts about mountain landscapes rather than theory. The book illustrates that almost everywhere, mountains arose by vertical uplift of a former plain, and by a mixture of cracking and warping by earth movements, and erosion by rivers and glaciers, the present mountainous landscapes were created. It also gives evidence that this uplift only occured in the last few million years, a time scale which does not fit the plate tectonics theory. Another fascinating part of the evidence, shows that mountain uplift correlates very well with climatic change. Mountain building could have been responsible for the onset of the ice age. It certainly resulted in the creation of new environments. Fossil plants and animals are used in places to work out the time of mountain uplift, which in turn helps to explain biogeographical distributions.
The Neurobiology, Physiology, and Psychology of Pain
The Neurobiology, Physiology and Psychology of Pain focuses on bettering readers’ understanding of acute and chronic pain. Featuring chapters on neurotransmitters, pharmacology, and brain imaging, this volume discusses, in detail, the mechanisms of pain and experimental studies undertaken to better understand the pathways involved. The translational work in this area has applicability for neurologists, anesthesiologists, pharmacologists, and anyone working in the intersection of these areas. This volume is integral for anyone interested in the molecular underpinnings of pain at every level. Provides comprehensive coverage on a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of pain Contains an abstract, key facts, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understanding in each chapter Features chapters on molecular pathways, imaging and a deep look at behavior associated with the experience of pain Contains unique topics that will help readers navigate key areas for research and further clinical recommendations
Treatments, Mechanisms, and Adverse Reactions of Anesthetics and Analgesics
Treatments, Mechanisms, and Adverse Reactions of Anesthetics and Analgesics is an essential read for anyone working in pain management. The book addresses the onset of pain, the cause of the pain, and the administration of analgesia or anesthesia. The etiology of pain is complex and multi-factorial, which is made more complex with the use of analgesics and local or general anesthetics. This volume works to clarify all of the subjects pertinent to anesthesia and the brain, from their variety, modes of action, and adverse effects. Provides a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of analgesics and anesthetics Contains chapter abstracts, key facts, a dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understanding Discusses anesthesia types, mechanisms of action and affiliated effects Helps readers navigate key areas for research and further clinical recommendations
Pain, Loss and Love
A beautifully written book full of real issues many of us can connect with from heartbreak to hope and love. You can feel every emotion in the word's written within for the author truly does write with their own experience and emotion's as you can see from the subtitle this collection of works are actual event's that have happened or real dreams dreamed by the author. This book is both passionate and beautiful, sad and hopeful a real triumph as one of his test reader's has stated. It has everything from loss to love. A true romantic yet pain filled heart blending words fueled with passion and emotion. THIS IS A MUST BUY book perfect for anybody as a gift or just as a self purchase and what is better you can feel better about buying it for the very modest price asked of which 15% will be donated to the NSPCC you can also contact the author on his facebook page he is always happy to meet people who share his passion and his work.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a common injury generating up to 60,000 claims each year in Australia. However in 20-40% of cases symptoms persist for years afterwards and little science exists for its treatment. No injured party should have to endure what Colin Caudell experienced at the hands of bureaucrats and health professionals. This is one story of a lonely and painful journey. The book endeavours to provide assistance and guidelines for victims and their families who may be confronted with having to make a WorkCover or third party insurance claim.
