This book is a complete guide to orthopaedics for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students. Beginning with an overview of basic principles in the field, the following chapters give extensive coverage to the management of fractures and dislocations in all sections of the musculoskeletal (MSK) system. The final chapters of the book discuss more complex MSK disorders including bone tumours, metabolic diseases of the bone, joint and bone infections, neuromuscular disorders and more. Separate sections are dedicated to congenital disorders and paediatric deformities, arthritis, and imaging in orthopaedics. The comprehensive text is highly illustrated with nearly 500 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to enhance learning. Key points Comprehensive guide to orthopaedics for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students Covers fractures and dislocations in all sections of the MSK system Includes discussion on more complex disorders as well as imaging techniques Highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables
This book is a complete guide to musculoskeletal examination for trainees in orthopaedics. Divided into fifteen sections, the text begins with an overview of history taking and the basics of physical examination. The following chapters provide in depth detail on the clinical evaluation of different sections of the musculoskeletal system and common diseases and disorders that may be encountered. Chapters follows a step by step format and each test is accompanied by explanatory photographs and diagrams to assist understanding. The final sections of the book cover gait assessment and patterns, and the clinical evaluation of swellings, scar tissue, sinuses and ulcers. Key points Complete guide to orthopaedic examination for trainees Covers all sections of the musculoskeletal system and common conditions Explanatory photographs and diagrams accompany each test Includes discussion on gait assessment, and evaluation of swellings and scar tissue
Among the myriads of volumes dedicated to various aspects of photosynthesis, the current one is singular in integrating an update of the most recent insights on this most important biological process in the biosphere. While photosynthesis fuels all the life supporting processes and activities of all living creatures on Earth, from bacteria though mankind, it also created in the first place, our life supporting oxygenic atmosphere, and keeps maintaining it. This volume is organized in four sections: I) Mechanisms, II) Stress effects, III) Methods, and IV) Applications.
Biomass conversion into drop-in chemicals using novel heterogeneous bulk- and nano-scale catalysts is currently a hot research topic with the aim of replacing petrochemicals in the chemical industry. Considering the importance of this subject to the scientific community, Advanced Catalysis for Drop-in Chemicals provides the latest developments in the catalytic synthesis of drop-in chemicals mainly from lignocellulose, carbohydrates (cellulose, hemicellulose, C6 and C5 sugars, and their derivatives), lignin, and glycerol. The role of both heterogeneous bulk solid and nanostructured catalysts, along with their advantages and disadvantages for drop-in chemicals synthesis are critically summariz...
Dr. Dhar succinctly illustrates the journey of Minimum Wage Revision in Delhi. The book encapsulates the ups and downs that the author faced to make a landmark law which is set to benefit approx. 55 Lakh workers [as per the 15th Indian Census (2011)] working in formal and informal sectors.
In the present scenario, stresses induced due to global environmental change have indeed become a focal point of researches and study programmes worldwide. Stress caused to plant life has an important consequence to both, vegetation as such and all other global cycles which sustain this `living earth'. Unlike other already existing works this volume elucidates the plant-pollutant relationship in a manner that defines not only the drastic effects of pollutants on plants but concomitantly highlights the hitherto less focused areas namely phytoindication, phytoremediation and stress tolerant bioaesthetic development, thus concentrating more on plant than pollutant. The book would help understand the magnitude of environmental stress in the coming years and may play a formative role in defining future research and policy areas along with providing impetus to development of newer eco-technologies. The book shall interest both students and researchers of environmental sciences, ecology, forestry and related disciplines as well as persons and organisations engaged in environmental management and eco-conservation.
This book covers recent trends in the field of devices, wireless communication and networking. It gathers selected papers presented at the International Conference on Communication, Devices and Networking (ICCDN 2019), which was organized by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India, on 9–10 December 2019. Gathering cutting-edge research papers prepared by researchers, engineers and industry professionals, it will help young and experienced scientists and developers alike to explore new perspectives, and offer them inspirations on how to address real-world problems in the areas of electronics, communication, devices and networking.
Stem Cells: An Alternative Therapy for COVID-19 and Cytokine Storm provides mechanistic insights into the role of stem cells to combat COVID-19 outbreak and other pathologies where cytokines storm is the cause of concern for e.g., radiation exposure, multiple organ failure and sepsis. There has been an increase in number of cases of new diseases in the last decade, including mucormycosis, Zika virus, H1N1 influenza virus, among others. These diseases can be characterized by the induction of cytokine storm, which is mainly responsible for morbidity and mortality.Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for viral diseases, including, but not limited to, COVID-19. Interestingly, c...
This book offers research geared toward understanding culture and its influence on the success of global businesses. Divided into two parts that look at the leveraging culture cultural diversity from an organizational as well as national perspective, the chapters investigate the effects of technology on culture, the role of leadership in corporate culture, and communicating and managing change across cultures. The book emphasizes that embracing cultural and subcultural differences alongside instilling organizational culture are the keys to successful modern business. With contributions from authors from academic as well as professional backgrounds, this book will serve as a valuable resource to researchers interested in cultural studies generally as well as those studying the importance of culture to managing modern organizations.
