A comprehensive, two-volume work exploring the structure, function, development, and mechanisms of the visual system. Topics include the historical foundations of vision research, molecular regulation of retinal development, neural plasticity in the visual cortex, eye-specific segregation, and visual transduction by photoreceptors.
This book analyzes the components and principles required to construct an artificial neuromorphic visual system. It draws inspiration from neuroscientific findings regarding human vision, addressing topics such as blazing processing characteristics, category representation, neuromorphic tools (like synaptic circuits and integrate-and-fire neurons), retina circuits for contour signaling, the symmetric-axis transform, and motion detection architectures.
This book, the Second Edition, updates the field of bone histology by incorporating significant advances in bone biology, histological techniques, and methods. It covers the fundamental aspects of bone biology, including remodeling and modeling, which are crucial for interpreting bone histomorphology. The text applies histological methods to practical applications such as the estimation of age, evaluation of pathological conditions affecting the skeleton, and determination of human versus nonhuman remains. It concludes with discussions on current research trends, technological advances in imaging, and the importance of well-documented skeletal collections for future research in biological and forensic anthropology.
A foundational text covering the essentials of cataract management, focusing on preoperative evaluation, patient preparation techniques, necessary surgical equipment, and an overview of basic phacoemulsification principles. Designed for residents and surgical assistants.
Prolonged mechanical ventilation, commonly used to assist preterm newborns, increases the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluates the association between the administration of systemic corticosteroids in preterm infants and its long-term outcomes, such as neurodevelopment, growth, extubation rate, and related adverse effects.
A digital resource providing answers or keys, likely for practice questions related to the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) examination, specifically focusing on content related to Epidemiology (Epid 1). The document includes warnings about intellectual property and cybercrime laws.
This book presents proceedings from the 14th International Symposium on Biomineralization (2017), covering topics ranging from molecular and nano-structural analyses of biomineralization processes to their implications in environmental science.
A comprehensive workbook intended to accompany Merrill's Atlas, focusing on study exercises, review, and practice related to radiographic positioning and imaging procedures for diagnostic purposes.
Comprehensive clinical guidelines developed collaboratively by The Bedside Clinical Guidelines Partnership and the West Midlands Neonatal Operational Delivery Network. The book covers protocols for admission and discharge, cardiovascular issues (e.g., congenital heart disease, PDA, hypotension), critical care (resuscitation, viability, pain management), developmental care, and management of endocrine and metabolic disorders (e.g., hypo/hyperglycaemia) in neonatal units.

A foundational text on cranial osteopathy, this book emphasizes structural malalignment, restricted articular mobility, and the vital role of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as the primary irrigation system, building upon the principles of Andrew Taylor Still. It details the indications for cranial treatment, including disorders of the skeletal system, special senses, and acute and chronic ailments affecting the respiratory system, eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
A clinical atlas providing detailed case studies and practical guidelines for interceptive and early phase orthodontic treatment, covering common malocclusions such as open bite, Class II, Class III, and transverse problems.
