This book is part of the IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics. It focuses on the latest advancements and applications of optics and photonics—the science of using light—specifically within ophthalmic technology. The series is designed to provide students and researchers with knowledge regarding new technologies such as LEDs, LCDs, and lasers that are becoming pervasive in modern society and critical to emerging optical engineering fields.
This medical textbook analyzes the contribution of genetics to both isolated tremor, such as essential tremor (ET), and combined tremor syndromes associated with dystonia, Parkinson disease (PD), and ataxia. It applies revised criteria from the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (2018) to provide clinicians with a framework for identifying potential genetic etiologies.
This book addresses the explosion of scientific knowledge regarding the understanding of pulp tissue in recent decades, providing current concepts and problem-oriented treatment for various pulp pathological conditions in primary and young permanent teeth.
A detailed section focusing on diagnostic testing methods, including lung volumes, flow-volume loops, pulse oximetry, and blood gas analysis. It also covers neonatal stridor (e.g., laryngomalacia, subglottic stenosis) and various congenital disorders of the lower respiratory tract, such as tracheal disorders, lobar emphysema, pulmonary hypoplasia, and diaphragmatic malformations.
This atlas provides guidance on the differential diagnosis of brain diseases based on MRI signal characteristics. It covers the differentiation of abnormal signals in brain parenchyma, cerebral infarction, inflammation, tumors, brain edema, hydrocephalus, cerebral atrophy, astrocytomas, and common lesions in the sellar and cerebellopontine angle regions.
Guidelines developed by the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) intended to improve the quality of diabetic eye care worldwide. They cover the requirements for screening, detection, appropriate assessment, and management of diabetic retinopathy (DR) across both high-resource and low/intermediate-resource settings, emphasizing collaboration with primary care providers and endocrinologists.
A collection of detailed clinical vignettes focusing on challenging cases encountered in pediatric medicine. The content covers patient history, diagnostic procedures, differential diagnoses, and treatment protocols for various conditions, including dermatological and rheumatological disorders in children, such as Strawberry Nevi and Dermatomyositis.
This book analyzes the role of neuropsychological testing in the mental health assessment process, focusing particularly on its application for persons with intellectual disability (ID) and dementia, contrasting these modern methods with traditional global assessment techniques.
This article discusses the crucial role of modern neuroimaging (CT and MR) in the post-acute ischemic stroke period. Key topics include predicting and managing hemorrhagic transformation, differentiating post-stroke seizures from stroke mimics using perfusion parameters, predicting malignant cerebral edema, and guiding rehabilitation efforts.
This book explores four broad areas of biomechanics: motion preservation (useful for braces and rehabilitation), musculoskeletal biomechanics (covering soft and hard tissue behavior), nano behavior (mechanical properties of small living systems), and vascular biomechanics. The content is suitable for developing graduate courses in biomedical engineering and is presented in an open-access format.
This book provides up-to-date clinical-scientific information for the healthcare practitioner in dentistry. It addresses the transformation of dental education toward evidence-based practice, integrating new research findings and scientific validation of procedures and patient management. It focuses on the frequent scientific revision of pharmacological information pertinent to dentistry, including the basic array of medications used such as local anesthetics, analgesics, and antibiotics.
This resource uses clinical vignettes, such as a case of Goodpasture syndrome, to teach the principles of restrictive lung disease, focusing on interpreting pulmonary function tests, distinguishing pathology from normal physiology, and correlating systemic autoimmune diseases with respiratory outcomes.
