Bunga Rampai Vertigo
Vertigo merupakan keluhan yang sering dijumpai dalam praktik klinis, baik itu dalam praktik dokter umum maupun dalam praktik dokter spesialis saraf. Oleh karena itu seorang calon dokter maupun calon dokter spesialis perlu menguasai topik vertigo ini dengan baik. Sayangnya hingga saat ini buku ajar mengenai vertigo yang ditulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia masih relatif jarang. Oleh karena itu buku ini ditulis untuk memudahkan mahasiswa kedokeran dan calon doker spesialis saraf dalam mempelajari mengenai vertigo. Buku ini membahas dengan ringkas konsep-konsep terkait vertigo, mulai dari dasar anatomi, patofisiologi, cara pemeriksaan, serta deskripsi berbagai jenis vertigo. Dibahas juga penatalaksanaan untuk tiap jenis vertigo sesuai dengan prinsip evidence based medicine. Diharapkan buku ini dapat memberikan manfaat bagi mahasiswa kedokteran, koasisten, dokter umum, residen neurologi, maupun dokter spesialisasi lain yang ingin mendalami mengenai vertigo.

Glioma : Patofisiologi, Diagnosis, dan Tata Laksana
Glioma merupakan salah satu tumor otak yang paling sering ditemukan. Sayangnya. sebagian besar pasien memiliki prognosis yang kurang baik. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah karena sering terjadinya keterlambatan diagnosis. Seorang dokter, baik dokter umum, spesialis saraf, maupun spesialis bedah saraf harus memiliki kemampuan untuk mendiagnosis glioma secara dini, sehingga langkah-langkah penanganan yang tepat dapat dikerjakan sesegera mungkin. Oleh karena itu, buku ini ditulis untuk membantu mahasiswa kedokteran, praktisi klinis, maupun calon dokter spesialis yang berhubungan dengan tumor pada sistem saraf untuk dapat lebih memahami mengenai glioma. Di dalam buku ini akan diterangkan secara mendalam mengenai glioma, mencakup definisi, epidemiologi, klasifikasl. patofisiologi, manifestasl klinis, pemeriksaan penunjang, manajemen, serta prognosis. Peranan karakteristik molekuler yang saat ini menjadi bagian tidak terpisahkan dari diagnosis dan manajemen glioma juga dibahas dengan detail. Disertakan Juga algoritma-algoritma terbaru yang dapat dijadikan patokan dalam penanganan glioma.
Focus on Homocysteine
During the last 8-10 years the research on homocysteine has become very active. Hundreds of articles are now published each year. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can be an underlying factor for pregnancy complications and fetal malformations, cardiovascular disease, dementia, psychiatric and neurologic disorders and possibly carcinogenesis. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can in most cases be normalized by treatment with folate and/or vitamines B 12 and B 6. Many of these findings therefore directly concern most practitioners. However, if there are good reviews covering single aspects of this research, these are published in specialized journals. The author has realized the difficulties for the practitioner in keeping updated.
Pain Syndromes in Neurology
Pain Syndromes in Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of painful conditions associated with dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system. It discusses advances in three areas: first, the normal anatomy and physiology of pain; second, the pathophysiology of damaged sensory neurons; and third, the diagnosis and treatment of patients with neuropathic pain. The book begins with a discussion of neural mechanisms relevant to pain perception along with a brief review of neuropathic pain. This is followed by separate chapters on hyperalgesia following cutaneous injury; the importance of peripheral processes in the etiology of neuropathic and radiculopathic pain; and mechanisms by which sympathetic efferent fibers contribute to the occurrence of pain. Subsequent chapters cover the diagnosis and treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy; pain in generalized neuropathies; surgical treatment of pain; clinical features and management of postherpetic neuralgia; diagnosis of cancer pain syndromes; and drugs in the management of chronic pain.
Quantum Biochemistry
Divided into five major parts, the two volumes of this ready reference cover the tailoring of theoretical methods for biochemical computations, as well as the many kinds of biomolecules, reaction and transition state elucidation, conformational flexibility determination, and drug design. Throughout, the chapters gradually build up from introductory level to comprehensive reviews of the latest research, and include all important compound classes, such as DNA, RNA, enzymes, vitamins, and heterocyclic compounds. The result is in-depth and vital knowledge for both readers already working in the field as well as those entering it. Includes contributions by Prof. Ada Yonath (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009) and Prof. Jerome Karle (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1985).
Dementia in Clinical Practice
This publication summarizes the most recent advances in neurobiology, diagnostic approaches and therapeutics of the major dementing illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body disease, and vascular dementia. In a succinct, practical and comprehensive manner, it provides an updated view of the disorders likely to be encountered in a daily practice. Each section is focused on a major form of dementia and is organized following the same scheme reviewing the pathophysiology of the disease, its diagnostic challenges, its characteristic neuroimaging features, therapeutic interventions and patient management issues. Avoiding an overspecialized approach, the book bridges the gap between clinical practice, advanced imaging, recent therapeutics and basic sciences. Thus, it serves as an excellent guide for mental health professionals working in the field of dementia as well as primary care physicians and students.
CNS Cancer
Cancers of the central nervous system are among the most lethal of human neoplasms. They are recalcitrant to even intensive multimodality therapies that include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Moreover, especially in children, the consequences of these therapies can itself be devastating and involve serious cognitive and developmental disorders. It is small wonder that such cancers have come under the intense scrutiny of each of the subspecialties of clinical care and investigation as well as attracting some of the best basic research scientists. Their joint efforts are gradually peeling away the mysteries surrounding the genesis and progression of these tumors and inroads are being...
Type 2 Diabetes
The emergence of type 2 diabetes as a global pandemic is one of the major challenges to health care in the 21st century. This book contains chapters covering the newest scientific concepts in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, and the complications and approaches in diagnosis and glycemic control. Part of the book is dedicated to the effect of diabetes on the mental functions and treatment strategies to prevent cognitive decline. Glucose monitoring, using cutting-edge technologies, is outlined, as well as the role of health information technologies in diabetes management. Updates on glucose lowering therapy are presented, and the new emerging class of SGLT2 inhibitors is discussed in detail. The purpose of this book is to disseminate knowledge on type 2 diabetes and to contribute to the professional development of physicians, internists, endocrinologists, medical students, and research scientists in diabetes.
Advanced Machining Processes
Advanced machining processes has significant contributions to the manufacturing industries, especially since many new invented materials have advanced properties, which are difficult to machine using conventional machining processes. Therefore, advanced machining processes take a lead in dealing with these types of material. This book focuses on electrical machining and electrical dressing processes. Chapter 1 explains the electrochemical machining (ECM), includes process parameters that involved in the ECM processes. Chapter 2 deals with another advanced machining process, i.e. electro-discharge machining (EDM). Several process parameters that contribute to the EDM processes are also discussed. Electrical dressing is described in Chapter 3 as a special application of ECM and EDM. Finally, other types of non-conventional machining are explained in Chapter 4.

Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children
Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present i...
