Fundamentals of Medical Physiology provides a concise, in-depth introduction by organ system to the principles of body function and uses emphasis on general models and clinical cases to foster mastery of these principles.Special features include: An emphasis on general models that underlie a number of recurring physiologic mechanisms -- for example, flow of substances and the factors that affect flow or energy formation and transformation -- to strengthen understanding Use of clinical cases -- developed, refined, and tested in the classroom over the past decade -- to test mastery of physiologic concepts Section-opening Patient Cases conclude with Some Things to Think About to help direct you...
This book provides a concise, concept-rich, and well-illustrated text of medical physiology. Written primarily for undergraduate medical students, the lucidity of the text should also appeal to a large section of health professionals. Key features of the book The four cornerstones of this book are utility, lucidity, brevity, and contextual relevance. The content of each chapter maps well onto a single easy-paced lecture. The key words and phrases in the text are emphasized for quick revision. The text is complemented by numerous simple diagrams that can be quickly comprehended. The relevant fundamentals of physics and chemistry are recapitulated in the early chapters. The complex anatomy of the brain is elucidated through three-dimensional schematic diagrams. Revision questions listed at the end of each chapter relate mostly to the how's and why's of physiological mechanisms. Comic illustrations seek to lighten the mood as the reader reckons with the intricacies of the subject.
Assisted Suicide is extremely controversial no matter from which perspective you look at it. It is illegal in most countries and that is why the law is given high priority in all chapters. A whole chapter is dedicated to its legal perspective alone. This book not only views it legally but all dimensions – economic, moral, philosophical and biological; are vividly explained. Dear readers can easily engross themselves in whichever genre they are interested in. But frankly speaking, no matter which dimension we took up; it was categorically proved with explicit logic that active euthanasia is not good for society. You can read for yourselves and find that you will also be convinced from all angles. A fantastic scope of research is also proposed that combines meta-physics with the latest biotech advances. If anyone can pursue that; it can become a groundbreaking finding for the entire humanity. All are welcome in this journey called ‘Doctrine of Death’.
This handbook is written with intention to explain basic pathophysiology of smoking over nerves and their impact on nerve conduction velocities. Smoking affects nerves by several mechanisms. Smoking decrease blood supply to nerve. Smoking also induces subclinical changes in myelin sheath leading to demyelination of nerves and consequent decrease in conduction velocity. The demylinated axon has poor electrotonic conduction. Nerve conduction study is a part of electrodiagnostic procedures that helps in establishing the type and extent of the abnormality of the nerves.
¡Domine los fundamentos de la fisiología médica con este texto que se basa en casos clínicos! Fisiología humana aporta una introducción concisa y a profundidad de los principios de la función corporal, organizada con base en los sistemas orgánicos, basándose en los modelos generales y casos clínicos para impulsar la destreza en el manejo de estos principios. Sus características especiales son, entre otras: • Énfasis en los modelos generales que subyacen a diversos mecanismos fisiológicos recurrentes, por ejemplo, el flujo de sustancias y los factores que lo afectan, o bien la obtención y transformación de la energía para reforzar la comprensión del tema. • El uso de caso...

Para comprender adecuadamente la fisiología es necesario construir una visión general acerca de cuerpo, sus sistemas y aparatos y los numerosos procesos que los mantienen en funcionamiento. Esta visión global, denominada integración de los sistemas, constituye un tema clave de este libro. La cuarta edición de Fisiología Humana: un enfoque integrado conserva las estrategias didácticas que resultaron tan populares desde su primera publicación en 1998.
Critical Branding: Postcolonial Studies and the Market provides an original answer to what Sarah Brouillette has called postcolonial studies’ ‘longstanding materialist challenge’, illuminating the relationship between what is often broadly called ‘the market’ and the practice and positionality of postcolonial critics and their field, postcolonial studies. After much attention has been paid to the status of literary writers in markets, and after a range of sweeping attacks against the field for its alleged ‘complicity’ with capitalism, this study takes the crucial step of systematically exploring the engagement of postcolonial critics in market practice, substituting an automati...
