This book analyzes meningiomas, which are frequent intracranial and spinal tumors. It covers the challenges of choosing the best management and predicting outcomes, examining aspects ranging from basic pathology according to the World Health Organization to clinical experience, focusing on modern molecular biology and aggressive histology.
A comprehensive, case-based atlas detailing the pathological, clinical, and imaging characteristics of a wide range of non-neoplastic diseases affecting the brain and spinal cord, serving as a critical reference for neuropathologists and radiologists.
A guidebook using a structured 'Framework System' to help internal medicine learners, residents, and faculty rapidly organize and apply differential diagnoses and management plans for common clinical scenarios. The book covers major internal medicine topics, beginning with Cardiology (Bradycardia, Chest Pain, Heart Failure) and Endocrinology.
Dental Functional Morphology offers an innovative alternative to the received wisdom that teeth merely crush, cut, shear or grind food, and shows how teeth adapt to diet. Providing an analysis of tooth action based on an understanding of how food particles break, it shows how tooth form from the earliest mammals to modern-day humans can be understood using very basic considerations about fracture. It outlines the theoretical basis step by step, explaining the factors governing tooth shape and size, and provides an allometric analysis that will revolutionize attitudes to the evolution of the human face and the impact of cooked foods on our dentition.
A study guide and assessment tool consisting of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) covering the anatomy of the head and neck, tailored specifically for dental students. Topics include embryology, osteology, neuroanatomy, and regional structures.
