Nuclear medicine and lung diseases is intended for chest physicians who use nuclear medicine techniques in clinical practice and for nuclear physicians who perform tests in patients with chest disorders.

There is a tradition behind the current radiologic examination of the small bowel. Many of the great names in gastrointestinal radiology have established their reputations on the basis of their work in the small bowel. It is a great pleasure to welcome the English language version of this beautiful work on Radiology of the Small Intestine.

In this text atlas of neuroimaging the author provides a review of the pathologies and diseases that affect the head, brain, skull base, face, spine, and cord. It also covers the aspects of neurological disorders and the fundamental aspects of the physics of magnetic resonance, spectroscopy, as well as a review of MR techniques.

Dr Buzdar presented a history and overview of the protection of human subjects who participate in clinical research, and the mechanisms developed to assure the ethical conduct of research on human beings.

From anesthesia to post-surgery recovery procedures, this book presents all the steps necessary to complete a stereotaxic neurosurgery protocol on rodents in accordance with current animal welfare guidelines.

This book examines the phylontogenic theory, which seeks early evolutionary signs of the olfactory organ and traces its transformations through respiratory apparatus to the central point of human facial anatomy. Offers insight into nose and sinus diseases.

From cutaneous signs to the richness of differential diagnosis, this book guides practitioners through every step from semiological analysis to diagnosis. It provides readers with the keys of relevant dermatological reasoning.

Practical Guide to Neurovascular Emergencies

With the population of obese people reticent about current surgical procedures, this book acknowledges that research should aim for less invasive, more acceptable procedures. It aims to inform future developments that will increase patient uptake.

Covering endovascular treatment of complications of arteriovenous access for hemodialysis, this book reviews anatomy of upper limb arteries and veins, clinical presentation of patients and fistulograms. Offers illustrated tips on catheterization and more.

This book explores forms of migraine, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome found in stressed patients who clench their teeth. The simple therapeutic method presented here has a 30-year record in short-term management of unresolved signs and symptoms.

New techniques - notably Scarf, the first metatarsal osteotomy and the Weil osteotomy of the lesser metatarsal - provide a significant improvement in the treatment of static forefoot disorders.

Pushed by the progress of biology, technology and biomechanics, knee surgery has dramatically evolved in the last decades. This book is a "state of the art" concerning all aspects of knee surgery from ligament reconstruction to Total Knee Arthroplasty.

This book describes the challenges involved in developing mTOR inhibitors for cancer treatment, starting with an in-depth examination of their molecular mechanism of action, with emphasis on the class side-effects, efficacy and mechanisms of resistance, as well as on promising novel directions for their development, including novel compounds and rational combinations with other anti-neoplastic drugs. Over the last 10 years, inhibitors of mTOR have emerged as a major class of anticancer drugs. Two rapamycin analogs are currently approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, and it is estimated that a variety of other tumor types could benefit from mTOR inhibition, with numerous clinical trials (including pivotal registration trials) already underway. Second-generation small-molecule inhibitors of the pathway have also shown promise in terms of their superior tolerability and efficacy and are undergoing extensive clinical evaluation, with an estimated 30+ compoundscurrently under evaluation.

It has by now been established that carpal ligamentary lesions may lead to instability and ultimately to carpal arthritis.

The purpose of this book is to define the basis of telemicrosurgery, a new discipline at the border of robotics and microsurgery. After the history of robotics and microsurgery, the robots and their instrumentation will be described. The chapters will explain the training in telemicrosurgery and then propose some experimental paradigms.

However, due to the intrinsic heterogeneity and molecular complexity of biologic medicinal products, their copies cannot simply be authorized under the "generic rule" valid for small chemical entities. In response, a dedicated regulation was issued in the European Union.

The scientific advances in the physiology and pathophysiology of adipose tissue over the last two decades have been considerable. Finally, it is a unique and original work focusing on adipose tissue, covering biology and pathology by investigating aspects of molecular and cellular biology, general, metabolic, genetic and genomic biochemistry.

Neglected finger injuries may lead to chronic lesions that often have detrimental consequences for the practice of a ball sport, whether at a recreational level or at the top athlete level.
