Book DescriptionIn March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing.This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.Download DescriptionThis is a 3-in-1 reference book. It gives a complete medical dictionary covering hundreds of terms and expressions relating to acoustic neuroma. It also gives extensive lists of bibliographic citations. Finally, it provides information to users on how to update their knowledge using various Internet resources. The book is designed for...

Book DescriptionCultural diversity impacts what and how we eat. Cooking and Feasting with foods that are high in fat, sodium, and carbohydrates (sugars), are at the center of the traditional practices of African Americans. This ethnic group has "paid a high price for this lifestyle, with high incidences of Diabetes." Understanding cultural differences can aid in providing nutritional counseling that is culturally sensitive. Remember! Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of disease-related death for African Americans.

Book DescriptionRecent advances in understanding the role of protein dysmetabolism in neurodegeneration was the theme of the Fondation IPSEN meeting addressing Genotype-Proteotype-Phenotype relationships. Experts from international laboratories contributed to the current volume to produce a comprehensive overview of the role of protein misfolding in neurodegeneration. Links between genotype and protein characteristics and between proteotype and clinical phenomenology were discussed across diseases categories. Progress in understanding the role of abnormalities of protein metabolism may lead to the identification of biological markers relevant to disease monitoring and to the development of new therapeutic agents capable of modifying and ameliorating basic neurodegenerative mechanisms.

Book DescriptionAchieving good clinical outcomes with implanted biomaterials depends upon achieving optimal function, both mechanical and biological, which in turn depends upon integrating advances realized in biological science, material science, and tissue engineering. As these advances push back the frontiers of biomaterial medicine , the control and patterning of bio-implant interface reactions will have a tremendous impact on future design and prospects of implant treatments.Bio-Implant Interface: Improving Biomaterials and Tissue Reactions brings together a remarkable panel of scientists to present the state of the art in our understanding of interactions at the interface between biomaterials and living tissue. Much of the focus is on the importance of the implant surface's topography and chemistry to its interaction with the biological environment. Biomineralization along with the biological content of the interface and its role in directing cellular response along desired...

Book DescriptionAn authoritative introduction to Parkinson's disease and its related disorders and syndromes, this book provides a concise overview of the disease and its diagnosis and management. The author presents samples of clinical, investigative (CT, MRI, and PET) and pathological images with succinct descriptive text of the disorders featured. He describes the conditions related to Parkinson's disease, and the pictures provide pathological macroscopic and microscopic sections, various imaging studies, and details of movement disorders in general. The book will serve as a useful teaching tool that demonstrates the imaging and pathology of the disease.
