In this Atlas I want to share with my fellow clinicians the fascina tion I experienced while discovering the marvels of embryonic development. Why haven't these marvels excited me before? I believe that the use of schemata and drawings or photographs of animal embryos, commonly used in textbooks of embryology, simply did not appeal to me as a clinician. Only actual photo graphs of human embryos can establish the bond necessary for interaction. Just imagine the excitement when you find out how many struc tures you can recognize in a 5-week-old embryo, barely measuring 1 cm in length. But our fascination does not stop here. The pro gression of changes taking place during the next 3 weeks is so...
Developmental Juvenile Osteology was created as a core reference text to document the development of the entire human skeleton from early embryonic life to adulthood. In the period since its first publication there has been a resurgence of interest in the developing skeleton, and the second edition of Developmental Juvenile Osteology incorporates much of the key literature that has been published in the intervening time. The main core of the text persists by describing each individual component of the human skeleton from its embryological origin through to its final adult form. This systematic approach has been shown to assist the processes of both identification and age estimation and acts ...
In Functional Exercise Prescription, Eyal Lederman presents a revolutionary new approach for exercise prescription that uses the individual's own movement repertoire. The book demonstrates how daily activities (the life gym) can be amplified to provide the necessary movement challenges to support movement rehabilitation in many musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Hence, all activities can become remedial without the need to prescribe unfamiliar exercise; in other words, 'how to exercise without exercise' or 'how to rehabilitate without exercise'. People recover from most musculoskeletal and pain conditions through three key processes: repair, adaptation, and alleviation of symptoms. The aut...
The identification of even the smallest human fetal bone can be vital to the success of a criminal investigation or to the identification of the deceased. This book examines every bone in the human body from its earliest embryological stage through to maturity and is profusely illustrated with superb bone drawings at every stage of development. The ability to identify every component of the developing skeleton is of core relevance not only to the forensic profession but also to clinicians, skeletal biologists and physical anthropologists. - Identifies every component of the developing skeleton - Provides detailed analysis of juvenile skeletal remains and the development of bone as a tissue - Summarizes key morphological stages in the development of every bone
This book describes the synthesis, properties, and processing methods of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), an important family of degradable plastics. As the need for environmentally-friendly packaging materials increases, consumers and companies are in search for new materials that are largely produced from renewable resources, and are recyclable. To that end, an overall theme of the book is the biodegradability, recycling, and sustainability benefits of PLA. The chapters, from a base of international expert contributors, describe specific processing methods, spectroscopy techniques for PLA analysis, and and applications in medical items, packaging, and environmental use.
"Physiaians have aZways known, though often they are reZuatant to adrrrit it, that the quaZity of their daiZy praatiae depends on the resuZts of researah - Irvine H. Page * The 1985 App1ied Basic Science Course distinguished itse1f for three impor tant reasons. First, it showed c1ear1y the extent to which biotechnology and biomechanics have become an integral part of orthopedics. Second, it emphasized the increasingly important role the orthopedist will have to play in the treatment of the aging population. Projected Canadian statistics estimate that the population aged 65 years and older will in crease from the current 9. 7% to 13% by the year 2000. Based on the current total population of ...
The objective of this book is to provide authoritative, critically reviewed, and up-to-date information on diagnostic shoulder ultrasound. The volume contains more than 500 high-quality images to elucidate key concepts, provides extensive MRI correlation, includes a comprehensive list of references, and offers online access to illustrative videos on dynamic findings. It also integrates basic and clinical science, and is full of personal perspectives on established and controversial topics, which are essential in a field of medicine so dependent upon the intelligent integration of subjective data. Hope you enjoy. Have a nice reading.
Design and implement a rehab program on your own with Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2nd Edition. Part of Magee's popular Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series, this pathology text for physical therapists provides clear guidance on patient management relative to specific musculoskeletal pathology, injury, and illness - all based on a sound understanding of basic science and principles of practice. It focuses on the specific pathologies most often seen in the clinic, and discusses the best methods for intervention for the different areas of the body in the context of the tissue-healing model. Each intervention features a rationale, along with the pathology and p...
A comprehensive and authoritative review of the most important scientific and clinically relevant topics today in ligaments, tendons, and capsular biology, including their biomechanics and surgical reconstruction. The authors review the basic science of tendons in the hand and shoulder ligaments, the current clinical status of the shoulder and cruciate ligaments, and the latest advances in research on the healing of ligament and tendon to bone, artificial ligaments, and gene therapy. They also cover the major type 1 collagen soft tissues that are of particular interest to upper extremity surgeons and sports medicine specialists.
Dental and craniofacial treatments are actually based on advances in biomaterials, tissue engineering and nanotechnology sciences. These developments brought considerable improvements on biomaterials commonly used in dental clinics. However, there is still a medical need for innovative techniques and materials for a controllable and efficient regeneration/repair of damaged craniofacial tissues and teeth. The novel biomaterials, imaging techniques, diagnostic and technological tools may offer thrilling perspectives for alternative treatments in dentistry.
