Cranial Nerves: Function & Dysfunction, Third Edition presents problem-based learning cases and clinical testing in a visual format. Cranial Nerves targets students of the health sciences (medicine, rehabilitation sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, speech pathology, audiology, nursing, physical and health education, and biomedical communications) who may be studying neuroanatomy and gross anatomy for the first time. The text guides users through pertinent information and full-colour functional drawings including color-coded pathways/modalities from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input) and from the brain to the periphery (motor output). Each pathway is described according to the direction of the nerve impulse, not according to the embryologic outgrowth of the nerve. Cranial Nerves: Function & Dysfunction, Third Edition separates the nerve ?bre modalities, thereby highlighting important clinical aspects of each nerve. The website includes all illustrations as well as 19 videos demonstrating the testing of the cranial nerves.
The same authors who created the brilliantly successful Cranial Nerves > have joined together to produce this companion volume. Spectacular full colour illustrations by Linda Wilson-Pauwels, the preeminent medical illustrator, illuminate the relationships between the central and autonomic nervous systems. The accompanying text provides both principles of anatomy and correlations to clinical disorders.
This second edition presents a thorough revision ofCranial Nerves. The format reflects the shift in teaching methods from didactic lectures to problem-based learning. It maintains the first edition's approach of blending the neuro- and gross anatomy of the cranial nerves as seen through colour-coded functional drawings of the pathways from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input) and from the brain to the periphery (motor output).
Featuring three-dimensional, colour-coded illustrations, this classic work describes how the 12 major nerve systems connect the brain to the body systems they control. The drawings show the course and position of each nerve, as well as its functional modalities: this allows students to learn not only the location of each nerve system, but how the systems act in concert to perform specific functions. This text serves as a teaching tool for all health science students who study neuro- and gross anatomy, including students in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and physical therapy.
Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable deve...
With data from the United States and Europe, Jon Miller and Linda Kimmel examine the public's understanding of and attitude toward biotechnology and biomedicine while they present methods of introducing cutting edge science to thenonscientist. Biomedical Communications illustrates how vital it is for researchers, journalists, and policy makers to clearly communicate their findings in a way that avoids general misconception or confusion. The authors explore how to acquire information about biomedical policy, discuss strategies for informing consumers, and present tactics for improving biomedical communication with the public. - Using Research to Improve Biomedical Communications - The Public Understanding of Biomedical Science - Strategies for Communications to Consumers - Public Attitudes Toward Biotechnology Issues
This four colour atlas provides, under one cover, insite on avian anatomy, surgical approaches and basic orthopedic principles for veterinary clinicians and students, aviculturists and others interested in bird care. Also covers major anatomical variations of the thoracic and pelvic limbs in various species of birds.
Examining 36 democracies from 1945 to 2010, this text arrives at conclusions about what type of democracy works best. It demonstrates that consensual systems stimulate economic growth, control inflation and unemployment, and limit budget deficits.
