The need for having a simple book with basic practical format has been felt since long. A sincere and maiden attempt has been made with the idea of fulfilling the needs of current curriculum in forensic Practical’s. The objectives that are clearly identified in each area of the subject after thorough discussion with experts will enable students to focus on key points of every topic. This practical manual is formatted in such a way that it will be suitable for III B.S.M.S students fulfilling their practical knowledge in both Siddha and modern aspects. An attempt is made to describe the Medicolegal aspects of every topic. Various certificate proceedings are carefully designed and attached to...
Recent advances in ophthalmic imaging technology have revolutionized fundus examination and contributed significantly in elucidating the pathophysiology of retinal diseases and improving their diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore fitting that this detailed full-color textbook in the Medical Retina series is devoted to ocular imaging. The volume reviews in detail the role of both established and novel forms of imaging, and is designed to be of benefit to clinicians and researchers alike. All of the chapters have been written by internationally recognized experts at the forefront of their fields. The result is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of retinal imaging that should prove ...
Corneal transplantation is a widely practised surgical procedure. Lamellar techniques are favoured replacing penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) has been adapted as an alternative in the treatment of corneal endothelial disorders whereby Descemet’s membrane and the endothelium are replaced. Pre-Descemet’s endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) is the latest surgical technique for corneal transplantation. This book is a step by step guide to PDEK for practising ophthalmologists. Divided into five sections, the text begins with the basics explaining corneal anatomy, pre-operative assessment, general techniques in keratoplasty, and the principles of PDEK. The following cha...
Uterine cancers are the commonest malignancies of the female genital tract in the developed world, and are increasing in numbers world over because of obesity and other life-style changes. Many of these malignancies are hereditary and thus, a better understanding of the genetic and molecular biology is needed. This would lead to appropriate treatment plan for improving the quality of life and long-term survival. This book addresses, in depth, all aspects of uterine malignancies covering both carcinomas and sarcomas. The book is divided into seven sections; the first two sections deal with epidemiology, molecular aspects, familial cancers and pathology and the later sections focus on diagnosi...
Secondary metabolites are organic compounds that are not directly involved in the normal growth, development, or reproduction of an organism. The secondary metabolites are produced majorly by plants and are called phytochemicals, also by microbes such as bacteria, fungi, algae and so on. These secondary metabolites plays a major role in defensive mechanism in plants, as well as its components are used in food industry, pharmaceuticals and so on. The applications and sources of each secondary metabolite is clearly discussed. We are very much thankful for the publisher who readily accepts and publish this subject. Also the author is very much thankful to her research team Mridul Umesh, Thazeem Basheer, Poorna Chandrika Sabapathy, Sabarinathan Devaraj and Sathishkumar Swamiappan for contributing their help and support for this work. The next edition of this book will more precisely discuss on the extraction and purification of the secondary metabolites.
Electrophysiology studies test the electrical activity of the heart to determine the source of an arrhythmia. This book is a comprehensive guide to cardiac electrophysiology providing a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of arrhythmias and therapeutic interventions used in their treatment. Beginning with an introduction to cardiac electrophysiology and the fundamentals of cardiac anatomy, imaging, mapping and ablation, the following sections cover the diagnosis and management of different types of arrhythmia. The final section discusses miscellaneous topics including entrainment, provocative drug testing in the electrophysiology lab, and catheter ablation in children. The book is highly illustrated with nearly 300 images and tables and each chapter concludes with a summary highlighting the main points of the topic and offers suggestions for further reading. Key points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias Provides thorough overview of cardiac anatomy, imaging, mapping and ablation Includes other topics such as provocative drug testing and catheter ablation in children Highly illustrated with nearly 300 images and tables
This three-volume set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Recent Trends in Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (RTIP2R) 2018, held in Solapur, India, in December 2018. The 173 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 374 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections in the tree volumes. Part I: computer vision and pattern recognition; machine learning and applications; and image processing. Part II: healthcare and medical imaging; biometrics and applications. Part III: document image analysis; image analysis in agriculture; and data mining, information retrieval and applications.
This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 1st International Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction Management (SECON’20), held in Angamaly, Kerala, India, on 14-15 May 2020. The meeting served as a fertile platform for discussion, sharing sound knowledge and introducing novel ideas on issues related to sustainable construction and design for the future. The respective contributions address various aspects of numerical modeling and simulation in structural engineering, structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, advanced analysis and design of foundations, BIM, building energy management, and technical project management. Accordingly, the book offers a valuable, up-to-date tool and essential overview of the subject for scientists and practitioners alike, and will inspire further investigations and research.
An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of the heart. This common test allows a doctor to see the heart beating and pumping blood, and subsequently identify heart disease. This book is a complete guide to performing and interpreting an echocardiogram. 56 chapters describe both basic and advanced techniques for diagnosing different heart disorders. The second edition has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments and techniques in the field. Seven new chapters have been added to this edition covering echocardiography and artificial intelligence, hypertension, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Kawasaki disease, cardio-oncology, diabetes mellitus, and foetal echo. Dedicated chapters emphasise the role of echo in surgical procedures, and explore its use with electrophysiology – in patients with pacemakers and those undergoing cardiac resynchronisation therapy. The book is highly illustrated with many 2D and 3D echo images helping explain the descriptive text for each topic. The previous edition (9789352700929) published in 2017.
