Setting out the principles of stereology from a statistical viewpoint, this book focuses on both basic theory and practical implications. The authors discuss ways to effectively communicate statistical issues to clients, draw attention to common methodological errors, and provide references to essential literature. The first full text on design-bas
Stereology is a valuable tool for neuroscientists, allowing them to obtain 3-Dimensional information from 2-Dimensional measurements made on appropriately sampled sections (usually obtained from histological sections or MRI/CT/PET scans). This 3-D information is invaluable in correlatingstructural/functional relationships in the pursuit of far greater understanding of the function of the central nervous system. However, in carrying out such measurements, often based on limited data sets, there is a risk of experimenter bias. An important feature of modern design based stereology isto be aware of potential sources of bias and eliminate them during the data collection. With many of the major n...
This book offers pathologists, toxicologists, other medical professionals, and students an introduction to the discipline and techniques of neuropathology – including chemical and environmental, biological, medical, and regulatory details important for performing an analysis of toxicant-induced neurodiseases. In addition to a section on fundamentals, the book provides detailed coverage of current practices (bioassays, molecular analysis, and nervous system pathology) and practical aspects (data interpretation, regulatory considerations, and tips for preparing reports).
"This brilliant portait of schizophrenia-the most malignant and least understood mental illness-by renowned psychiatrist Jeffrey Lieberman, Chair of Columbia's legendary Psychiatry department, interweaves cultural and scientific history with dramatic patient portraits and clinical experiences to impart a revolutionary message of hope: that for the first time in human history, schizophrenia can not just be effectively treated, but even prevented. Of the many myths and misconceptions that have historically obscured our understanding of schizophrenia, the most pernicious is that there is no effective treatment or cure. The reality couldn't be more different: the truth is that today's treatments...
An updated edition of the classic history of schizophrenia in America, which gives voice to generations of patients who suffered through "cures" that only deepened their suffering and impaired their hope of recovery Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world's poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs. In what is perhaps Whitaker's most damning...
The progress of human civilization is punctuated with a number of land mark events in the course of development in science and technology. The attendant continued growth of knowledge with penetrating insights reveal the mysteries of nature and exercise profound influence on human thought. One such thought provoking discipline is image analysis, which made penetrating in-roads into the mysteries of materials and life sciences. This book is a compilation of selected, peer reviewed works received for presentation at SCIAMAL-99.
조현병 환자? 아이고 무서워라, 이렇게 방치해도 되는 거야? 조현병과 조현병 환자에 대한 인식, 조현병의 치료 방식에 대한 우리 사회의 오해와 통념 파헤치기 한동안 저녁 뉴스 시간을 달구었던 소식들 가운데 “40대 조현병 환자가 고속도로에서 역주행을 하다 정면추돌 사고를 냈다.” “조현병을 앓는 60대 남성이 자신을 비방한다는 환청을 듣고 이웃을 숨지게 했다.” 등이 있다. 당시 보도된 비슷한 유형의 사건사고에 정점을 찍은 것은 ‘고 임세원 교수’ 사건과 ‘진주 방화’ 사건이다. 임 교수는 정신건강의학과 전문...
