Our Fingerprints Spiral Like Galaxies is a quite literal "handbook," a single-focus anatomy guide made up of a series of freestanding micro-essays depicting the human hand as a cosmic map, an insignia of personal will, and a crossroads of bodily intake and output.In this manual of manual actions, our hand is a poly-sensual organ that can utter, listen, sniff, and savor as well as grasp, carry, manipulate, and gesture. These pages treat the hand as a five-fingered pentagram and a microcosm of Selfhood, an engine whose movements form a vast repertoire of oracles, dances, and pantomimes. Aristotle saw our hand as the "instrument of instruments," and Kant regarded it as the foremost "window on the mind." Anaxagoras viewed this body part as the most supreme proof of our near-divinity and an epicenter of mortal significance. This book gladly partakes of such perspectives and envisions our hand's array of bones, muscles, and ligaments as a primal emblem radiating its meaning in every direction.

An essential workbook that will appeal to all students of anatomy, "The Human Body Coloring Book" takes an interactive approach to human anatomy that will help users learn, understand, and revisit the subject with ease.

This is the second edition of an introductory clinical neurology textbook written for students, hospital medical officers, neurologists in training, non-neurologist's and those that teach them. It contains the principles of clinical neurology that were relevant 100 years ago and will still be relevant in 100 years. It contains novel approaches to clinical neurology. The nervous system is likened to a map grid with meridians of longitude (the two ascending sensory and the one descending motor pathways) and the parallels of latitude, (the dermatomes, myotomes, reflexes, brainstem cranial nerves and the cortical signs). This enables accurate localisation. It contains 3 rules that enable the diagnosis of brainstem strokes (the rule of 4) and every peripheral nerve or nerve root problem in the upper (the 5*3*5* rule) and the lower limbs (the 2*2*4 rule) without the need for detailed knowledge of neuroanatomy. There are numerous illustrations and tables that complement the text. The first 5 chapters cover neuroanatomy, the neurological history, examination of the limbs, the brainstem and cranial nerves, and the cerebral hemispheres. There is a unique chapter (6) that explains the diagnostic approach once the history and neurological examination have been performed. Subsequent chapters cover intermittent disturbances of neurological function (with a very unique approach dividing disturbances into those that call falls and those that do not cause falls either with and without impairment of consciousness), seizures and epilepsy, headache and facial pain, cerebral vascular, disease, common neck and arm problems, back pain and common leg problems, abnormal movements and difficulty walking and miscellaneous neurological disorders. The last chapter discusses retrieving information and keeping up to date.The appendices discuss the bedside assessment of cognitive function , benign focal seizures of childhood, new nomenclature and drugs for epilepsy, treatment of migraine, epidemiology and prevention of stroke, tissue plasminogen activator and clot retrieval, dysphagia screen, nerve conduction studies and EMG, diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis and treatment of Parkinson's. Finally, Professor Gates reprints his 3 hypothesis papers. Firstly, that hypertension is secondary to, not the cause of arteriorsclerosis with superimposed atherosclerosis. Secondly, that Meniere's disease is a sodium dependant potassium channelopathy and has nothing to do with endolymphatic hydrops. Thirdly, his insights into the management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), in particular the potential use of short-term drainage of CSF at very low pressure and resolution of IIH.

Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 1: Fishes is the first of five second-edition volumes representing a comprehensive and integrated overview of hormones and reproduction in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The book includes coverage of endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behavior, and anatomy of fish reproduction. It provides a broad treatment of the roles of pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones in all aspects of reproduction, as well as descriptions of major life history events. New to this edition is a concluding assessment of the effect of environmental influences on fishes. Initial chapters in this book broadly examine sex determination, reproductive neuroendocrinology, stress, and hormonal regulation as it relates to testicular and ovarian development and function. Subsequent chapters examine hormones and reproduction of specific taxa, including agnathan, chondrichthyan, and sarcopterygian fishes. The book concludes with an examination of the environmental influences on hormones and reproduction of fishes, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals and climate change. Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 1: Fishes is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in fishes, as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and a presentation of our understanding of reproductive events gained over the past decade. It may serve as a stand-alone reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of ichthyology or as one of five coordinated references aligned to provide topical treatment across vertebrate taxa for researchers, practitioners, and students focused on vertebrate endocrinology.

This edited book explores the use of technology to enable us to visualize the life sciences in a more meaningful and engaging way. It will enable those interested in visualization techniques to gain a better understanding of the applications that can be used in visualization, imaging and analysis, education, engagement and training. The reader will also be able to learn about the use of visualization techniques and technologies for the historical and forensic settings. The reader will be able to explore the utilization of technologies from a number of fields to enable an engaging and meaningful visual representation of the biomedical sciences. We have something for a diverse and inclusive audience ranging from healthcare, patient education, animal health and disease and pedagogies around the use of technologies in these related fields. The first four chapters cover healthcare and detail how technology can be used to illustrate emergency surgical access to the airway, pressure sores, robotic surgery in partial nephrectomy, and respiratory viruses.  The last six chapters in the education section cover augmented reality and learning neuroanatomy, historical artefacts, virtual reality in canine anatomy, holograms to educate children in cardiothoracic anatomy, 3D models of cetaceans, and the impact of the pandemic on digital anatomical educational resources.
