Pediatric Infectious Diseases Revisited

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The successful prevention of childhood diseases like diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis has made a major contribution to the improvement of public health, and vaccines and a variety of drugs are amongst the most fruitful applications of 20th-century research. Today pediatric infectious disease research is closely interconnected with other disciplines. Understanding the biology of the causative agents and the pathogenesis of disease is an essential step in achieving control and elimination of the diseases. Starting with historical, epidemiological and sociocultural issues, the volume presents clinical as well as molecular biological aspects of pediatric infectious diseases. New insights into the pathogenesis of infection are presented and an update on diagnostics, prevention and treatment of pediatric viral, fungal and bacterial diseases provided. The role of emerging new pathogens is also highlighted. The book aims at an interdisciplinary audience of clinicians and non-clinicians: pediatricians, infectious disease researchers, virologists, microbiologists, public health politicians and university libraries.

Evidence-based Approach in Cataract Surgery

Hardcover: 176 pages
Publisher: Informa HealthCare; 1 edition (March 29, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1841844659
ISBN-13: 978-1841844657

It is absolutely necessary that the practising ophthalmologist bases clinical and surgical decisions on valid data rather than simply on intuition, hearsay or peer-practice, although this is not to denigrate either one's own opinion or those of colleagues. Evidence-based medicine helps to improve clinical or surgical practice by evaluating the quality of clinical evidence and ensuring that only the best evidence from clinical research is used in the management of individual outcomes. Given that cataract patients may experience infection and complications it is best if the surgeon is on top of the current literature for prevention. Moreover, the surgeon should be au fait with the latest phacoemulsification techniques as well as advances in lens material and design. This marvellous publication covers all aspects of cataract surgery succinctly and provides the reader with enough guidance for best patient outcomes.

This volume presents a critical appraisal of the neurological literature on neuromuscular disease from an evidence-based perspective. Writing in a readable, accessible style, the author considers, in detail, a broad range of the published literature relevant not only to questions of treatment, but also to issues of diagnosis and prognosis. Through a series of questions and answers concerning specific neuromuscular disorders, each chapter critiques the best available evidence to illustrate strengths and weaknesses of the data and make the reader aware of the quality of clinical research studies in general. Introductory chapters facilitate this learning process by elucidating the epidemiological and biostatistical issues pertinent to diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. A broad range of disorders of the anterior horn cell, nerve roots, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscle are critically appraised and discussed.

Electrophysiology of the Neuron : An Interactive Tutorial/Book and Disk

Electrophysiology of the Neuron : An Interactive Tutorial/Book and Disk
By John Huguenard, David McCormick

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

Number Of Pages: 80

Publication Date: 1994-05-19

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0195091116

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780195091113

Product Description:

This manual and disk, available in IBM PC and Macintosh formats, accompanies Shepherd's Neurobiology, 3/e. It can be used separately even though it is keyed to the textbook. The 17 experiments investigate such areas as the resting membrane potential, action potential, voltage clamp, physiological properties of nerve cells, and synaptic potentials. The program allows students to propagate the action potential, adjust various parameters and observe the effects on nerve cell firing. Students will learn about equilibrium potentials and the effects of changing ion concentrations, as well as passive and active membrane properties. Separate experiments analyze sodium ion and potassium ion currents, the voltage dependence of these currents, and sleep vs. waking in single neurons. Study questions are provided throughout. This ingeniously-designed program will benefit all undergraduate students of neuroscience.

Review
"[A] good and enjoyable way of exploring the properties of different ionic currents, and the way they interact and determine the electrical response of neurons."--Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology

"Extremely easy to learn and use....up-to-date in implementing relatively recent developments in neurobiology...no book can convey the excitement of actually doing an experiment and seeing the activity of a nerve cell appear on a screen."--Barry Connors, Brown University

"Neuroscience is in need of this kind of approach to learning and this first effort is surely a sign of a future trend towards computer simulations on all kinds of topics. As computers and their accessories become more affordable one can envisage a plethora of information appearing on disk or CD-ROM for students and teachers alike. This disk is therefore paving the way."--Trends in Neurosciences

Book Description:
EEG interpretation is a critical skill for most practicing neurologists, as well as for an increasing number of specialists in other practice settings. Handbook of EEG Interpretation, the first illustrated, portable handbook to discuss all aspects of clinical neurophysiology, is an essential means of quick reference for anyone involved in EEG interpretation. Handbook of EEG Interpretation provides practical information on reading EEGs by juxtaposing actual EEGs with bullet points of critical information, making it an essential neurophysiology reference for use during bedside, OR, ER, and ICU EEG interpretation. At once more concise, illustrative, and portable than other texts on EEG, Handbook of EEG Interpretation fits in a labcoat pocket, providing immediate information for anyone involved in EEG interpretation. It is a useful tool for all residents, fellows, and clinicians in neurology as well as many internists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, ICU staff, ER staff, EEG technologists, and nurses. The book's seven main sections cover normal, abnormal, and epileptiform EEG patterns, as well as seizures, patterns of special significance ( e.g., stupor and coma), polysomnography, and neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring.

Binding: Hardcover

Covers all aspects of the structure, function, neurochemistry, transmitter identification and development of the enteric nervous system

This book brings together extensive knowledge of the structure and cell physiology of the enteric nervous system and provides an up-to-date synthesis of the roles of the enteric nervous system in the control of motility, secretion and blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract.

It includes sections on the enteric nervous system in disease, genetic abnormalities that affect enteric nervous system function, and targets for therapy in the enteric nervous system. It also includes many newly created explanatory diagrams and illustrations of the organization of enteric nerve circuits.

This new book is ideal for gastroenterologists (including trainees/fellows), clinical physiologists and educators. It is invaluable for the many scientists in academia, research institutes and industry who have been drawn to work on the gastrointestinal innervation because of its intrinsic interest, its economic importance and its involvement in unsolved health problems. It also provides a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching.

Summary: The Executive of the Brain
Rating: 5

This is a comprehensive update of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the brains vanguard of evolution and the control center for the human agenda. It is what allows us to invent the future and to make it present. Here is the outcome of a unique exercise in analysis and synthesis, from a vast empirical foundation built by five generations of clinicians and neuroscientists. It examines in depth the contributions of every relevant methodology (over 2000 references), from comparative anatomy to modern imaging. From this thorough analysis emerges a dynamic and integrative view of the prefrontal cortex. At the apex of the perception-action cycle, the prefrontal cortex steers the temporal gestalts of behavior, language, and reasoning toward their goal. The author is the discoverer of the memory cells, the physiological substrate of working memory; in recent years awarded the International Fissen Prize (2000), the Goldman-Rakic Prize from NARSAD, and the Miller Prize from the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (2006).
