This book provides a unique overview of current thinking on the pathogenesis, incidence and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It synthesizes the views of leading scientists and clinical practitioners regarding retinal biology, basic mechanisms, clinical and pathogenetic processes, and rational approaches to the treatment of AMD.
A visually-focused, concise review manual designed to help medical and pre-medical students master key concepts in biochemistry. Includes numerous illustrations, charts, and diagrams for rapid comprehension and effective board exam preparation.
An introductory overview of respiratory physiology, covering the four events of respiration, external and internal gas exchange, and detailed non-respiratory functions of the lung. Topics include the role of the lung in regulating acid-base balance (CO2 excretion), regulation of blood pressure via the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE), pulmonary defense mechanisms (cilia, mucous, alveolar macrophages), and airway dynamics (bronchodilation and constriction).
This guide introduces Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and emphasizes the central role of tailored nutrition in managing the condition. It outlines the specific dietary goals for kidney failure patients, focusing on techniques such as controlled protein intake, meticulous monitoring of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, phosphorus), reducing uremic symptoms, and preventing malnutrition, advocating for evidence-based nutritional principles over strict, generalized restrictions.
A detailed chapter covering Meckel’s Diverticulum, the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. It outlines the 'Rule of Two,' clinical presentations (GI bleeding in children, intestinal obstruction in adults), associated complications, diagnosis using 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy, and surgical management (diverticulectomy).
A collection of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering gross and clinical anatomy. Topics include the nervous system, musculature, and bony landmarks of the pelvis, abdomen, perineum, and related areas of the upper and lower limbs.
A practical guide intended primarily for optometrists to help understand, identify, and manage dry eye syndrome. The book presents the basic elements of tear film assessment and treatment, addressing common issues frequently encountered in practice, such as problems related to contact lens fitting and post-ocular surgery.
This volume represents the proceedings of the Fifth Congress of the International Society of Ocular Toxicology (ISOT), covering themes relating to ocular drug metabolism, the ocular pathophysiological effects of nitric oxide, government issues regarding the use of alternative methods for toxicity testing, and comparisons of both in vitro versus in vivo models.
A comprehensive, organized, and evidence-based guide encompassing the epidemiology, etiology, prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and management of trauma to the jaws and surrounding tissues. The text details the optimal management of various types of traumatic dental injuries, including crown fractures, root fractures, luxation injuries, and soft tissue injuries, as well as posttraumatic sequelae such as root resorption.
A comprehensive regional textbook focusing on the Head and Neck, emphasizing applied, dissection, and clinical anatomy. Chapters cover osteology of the skull, scalp and face, and the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck. Content includes clinical notes, mnemonics, and problem-solving questions.
This book is intended as a study and revision guide for students following programmes of study in which ecology is an important component. It contains 500 multiple-choice questions (and answers) set at three levels - foundation, intermediate and advanced.
Detailed lecture material covering instruments used in exodontia procedures. It describes the component parts, uses, and specific types of dental elevators (straight, triangular, pick/Crane pick, root-tip pick), periotomes, and extraction forceps, including listings for common maxillary (e.g., No. 150, No. 88) and mandibular (e.g., No. 151, No. 87 cowhorn) forceps.
