Free Download Atlas of Human Limb Joints by Jacques Guyot
English | PDF | 1981 | 260 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 55.5 MB
The aim of this book is to present as completely as possible a description of the joints of the human limbs, using photographs and drawings of anatomical dissections. Existing descriptive anatomical accounts are often theoretical and not linked to functional activity of the joints concerned; they lack practical demonstra tion of the anatomy. We hope to fill the gap in the available literature by presentation of this book. The work is directed towards anatomists, doctors interested in joint pathology, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, radiologists, specialists in sport injuries and rehabilitation, also to physicians in general, physiotherapists and students. The book is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter comprises two parts: the first is a brief account of the functional anatomy of the joint. It does not offer a complete description but an overall summary of the functional structures involved. The second section, the main part, includes illustrations (drawings and photographs of anatomical dissections). The dissections and the photographs were prepared in the Department of Anatomy directed by Professor HENRI M. DUVERNaY from cadaveric specimens preserved by the method described by WINCKLER (1964). The process of dissecting the ligamentous structures around joints has proved techni cally difficult. It is easy to create artificially structures from the mass of fibrous tissue and on a number of occasions we have been unable to locate ligaments which are described in some anatomical accounts.

English | ISBN: 1904798675 | 2006 | 352 pages | PDF | 19 MB
Glaucoma is a term used to describe many different eye diseases which gradually weaken and reduce vision, often without outward symptoms. Most forms of glaucoma are caused by a problem with drainage within the eye, and there are a number of different recognised types. Despite all our available medical advances, unfortunately as yet loss of vision from glaucoma is irreversible. In this book the editors have compiled 17 chapters on the most up to date glaucoma surgery worldwide, including laser treatment, implants and non-penetrative surgery. As the editors themselves say - 'even though we still do not fully understand the mechanisms and genetic background to the conditions known as glaucoma, we are able to offer palliative and sometime curable therapies.' Thus the book provides essential information to ophthalmic surgeons and practitioners who need to update and maintain their knowledge and skills when combating the multitude of glaucoma problems.

Free Download Atlas of Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine by Anisah Helou
English | PDF | 2001 | 396 Pages | ISBN : 3662058898 | 45.2 MB
Nuclear medicine is a relatively young medical discipline. Serious work with medical radioisotopes began at German universities in 1950. Before the first production facilities were established in Europe, radioisotopes had to be flown into Germany from the United States. As a result, radionuclide studies could not be performed during inclement weather. The German Roentgenographic Society was the first professional society to recognize the importance of nuclear medi- eine as a specialty and founded the Association for the Study of Radioisotopes (RIAG). Next came the Association for the Study of Radioisotopes in Internal Medicine (ARIGIM), whose first large sym- posium, held in Freiburg in 1962, had an attendance of approximately 100. On February 22,1963, the director of the former Czerny Hospital in Heidelberg, Prof. Becker, ended the rivalry between the two soci- eties by persuading Prof. von Hevesy, a Nobel Prize winner, to serve as the first joint chairman. Shortly thereafter, the Society of Nuclear Medicine was founded at the request of small groups of European specialists. By its tenth annual meeting, the Society had a roster of 600 members from 22 countries.

Free Download Atlas of Dermatologic Ultrasound By Ximena Wortsman
English | EPUB | 2018 | 374 Pages | ISBN : 331989613X | 400.8 MB
This atlas presents a practical and systematic approach for performing dermatologic ultrasound. In recent years, the use of this imaging modality for diagnosing pathologic conditions of the skin, hair, nails, scalp, and soft tissues has grown dramatically and there is a demonstrated need for quick access to this information. For common dermatologic entities, richly-illustrated figures and drawings describe the ultrasound normal anatomy, technical guidelines, common findings, variants, key points, and tips and pitfalls.

Free Download Atlas of Contrast-enhanced Sonography of Focal Liver Lesions by Tommaso Vincenzo Bartolotta , Adele Taibbi , Massimo Midiri
English | PDF (True) | 2015 | 150 Pages | ISBN : 3319175386 | 19.4 MB
This book offers an image-based, comprehensive quick reference guide that will assist in the interpretation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examinations of the liver in daily practice. It describes and depicts typical and atypical behavior of both common and less frequently observed focal liver lesions. For each type of lesion, the findings on pre- and post-contrast images are presented and key characteristics are highlighted. Individual chapters also focus on the assessment of response to locoregional and systemic treatment and the impact of European guidelines on CEUS. The Atlas of Contrast-Enhanced Sonography of Focal Liver Lesions will serve as an invaluable hands-on tool for practitioners who need to diagnose liver lesions using CEUS in the major clinical settings: oncology patients, cirrhotic patients, and patients with incidental focal liver lesions.
