Advanced Therapy in Thoracic Surgery
Summarizes many of the advances made in this area and reviews in depth the topics and treatment techniques not widely used in daily practice. New chapters to this second edition include: New Techniques to Manage Pain; Advances in Diagnostic Imaging; Management of Germ Cell Tumors of the Mediastinum, Updates on Diaphragmatic Pacing; and Preoperative Evaluation of Neuro-Motor Diseases of the Esophagus.
Comparative Interpretation of CT and Standard Radiography of the Chest
Standard radiography of the chest remains one of the most widely used imaging modalities but it can be difficult to interpret. The possibility of producing cross-sectional, reformatted 2D and 3D images with CT makes this technique an ideal tool for reinterpreting standard radiography of the chest. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of chest radiography interpretation by means of a side-by-side comparison between chest radiographs and CT images. Introductory chapters address the indications for and difficulties of chest radiography as well as the technical and practical aspects of CT reconstruction and image comparison. Thereafter, the radiographic and CT presentations of both anatomical variants and a wide range of diseases and disorders are illustrated and discussed by renowned experts in thoracic imaging. The book is complemented by online extra material which provides many further educational examples.
Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a common but vexing illness. This book provides a contemporary overview of the most important issues from a Western and a Japanese perspective, providing the reader with state-of-the-art knowledge of the epidemiology and molecular biology of the disease. In the Diagnosis section, the relationship between venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is explored, and exciting new findings are presented in the fields of echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. The Management section focuses on surgical intervention with acute embolectomy as well as updating thromboendarterectomy for chronic pulmonary embolism. The importance of primary and secondary prevention is emphasized in chapters addressing low molecular weight heparin and the inferior vena cava filter. This cutting-edge book is a valuable resource for practicing physicians, researchers, and students in internal medicine, hematology, pulmonary critical care, and vascular medicine.
Multimodality Imaging for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
This book is ideal for cardiovascular imagers of all backgrounds as well as proceduralists (surgeons and interventional cardiologists) performing TAVR. This text is also of value for the physicians and nurses involved in the care of these patients, and for fellows-in-training. This practical text brings together guidance on using multi-modality imaging in one book and highlights its usage with a focus on patient care. Pre-procedural, Intra-procedural and Long-term follow up), this review offers expert opinion and evidence-based guidance on how to incorporate the various imaging modalities at each step in the care of a TAVR patient. Although much has been learned in the short span of time since TAVR was introduced into the field, our book will also offer recommendations for clinically-relevant research areas that will lead to best practice strategies for incorporating multi-modality imaging into TAVR patient care.
Chronic Obstructive Lung Diseases
In the tradition of Schwarz and King, this work brings together internationally renowned contributors from the front lines of pulmonary medicine and research in one timely and authoritative compendium. It takes a new and comprehensive look at a large medical problem - chronic obstructive lung diseases are a problem of global importance and the incidence of COPD is increasing in many countries and COPD is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The focus is on the pathobiology of COPD and emphysema, on the exacerbation of COPD and on treatment options.
Image-Processing Techniques for Tumor Detection
"Provides a current review of computer processing algorithms for the identification of lesions, abnormal masses, cancer, and disease in medical images. Presents useful examples from numerous imaging modalities for increased recognition of anomolies in MRI, CT, SPECT and digital/film X-Ray."

Deer and People
Deer have been central to human cultures throughout time and space: whether as staples to hunter-gatherers, icons of Empire, or the focus of sport. Their social and economic importance has seen some species transported across continents, transforming landscape as they went with the establishment of menageries and park. The fortunes of other species have been less auspicious, some becoming extirpated, or being in threat of extinction, due to pressures of over-hunting and/or human-instigated environmental change. In spite of their diverse, deep-rooted and long standing relations with human societies, no multi-disciplinary volume of research on cervids has until now been produced. This volume d...
