A fundamental textbook covering the statics and dynamics of human posture and locomotion. It explores basic concepts of matter, motion, and energy, detailed mechanics of the body framework (skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems), forces, levers, gait, and the response of biological materials and structures to deformation. It is intended to provide clinicians with a basic understanding of mechanical principles relevant to the physical causes of disease.
A thorough review examining pulmonary surfactant's critical role in lung function. It challenges the conventional model (compression-driven squeeze-out) for maintaining low surface tension and proposes an alternative model: the formation of a saturated-lipid-enriched film shortly after birth via an adsorption-driven sorting process. The review examines biophysical evidence and tests the new model against physiological evidence related to neonatal and adult lung pathology, including Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

A guide detailing the rationale for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into scientific research and publishing workflows. It discusses the benefits of using AI for efficiency, quality improvement, and global accessibility, and provides an overview of various AI tools categorized by function, including writing, literature review, and research productivity.
A comprehensive diagnostic guide for medical, scientific, and health-care professionals focusing on the pathology of the endometrium, including organizational guidelines and best practices.
The second edition of this popular text offers a state-of-the-science synthesis of current knowledge in talent identification and development in sport. It explores key factors and issues, including the biological basis of talent, optimal developmental environments, long-term modeling of athlete development, and practical implications for sport scientists, coaches, and policy makers.
This edition focuses on the use and benefits of local anesthesia in various surgical fields, particularly plastic surgery. It includes articles detailing select procedures (such as breast reductions, abdominoplasties, and face lifts) performed without general anesthesia, discussing efficiency, quality of care standards, and cost economics in ambulatory surgical facilities.
Detailed analysis of fluid dynamics in the circulatory system, including laminar and turbulent flow, quantification of vascular resistance (PRU) using Poiseuille's Law, the application of the Law of Laplace to vessel wall tension, and the mechanics of cardiac muscle contraction (isometric vs. isotonic).
