University of Toronto Press Applied Muscle Action and Coordination
Book SynopsisThis invaluable handbook provides a basic knowledge of muscle action and co-ordination with which students of occupational therapy can applying specific techniques to specific conditions of muscle insufficiency for the restoration of function. It is particularly designed for those who have already studied anatomy and physiology, and will be useful in conjunction with an authorized anatomy text. Students and teachers of physio-therapy will find considerable value in it. Miss McMurrich's book is the result of many years' experience in teaching anatomy to students of occupational and physical therapy. In her introductory chapter, she endeavours to clarify for beginners any difficulties in the subject matter, and to condense for the advanced reader the existing knowledge on muscle action. Her main contention is that the application of craft-work, games or exercises for the restoration of function can be varied indefinitely if the therapist's knowledge of muscle action and co-ordination

Human Kinetics Publishers Kinetic Anatomy
Book SynopsisThis is the loose-leaf version of Kinetic Anatomy, Fourth Edition, which offers students a less expensive, printed version of the text.Kinetic Anatomy, Fourth Edition With HKPropel Access, gives students a firm concept of musculoskeletal anatomy by systematically assembling each component of the human body. Layer by layer, readers will study bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply these muscles that are essential for movement.With full-color visual aids and activities that invite readers to apply their understanding of structural anatomy to their own lives, the fourth edition is ideally suited for students studying physical activity because it explores how the structural anatomy of the human body facilitates movement. Part I of the text introduces the basics of structural anatomy. It describes how bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and other essential anatomy work together to allow for fundamental movement. Part II details the anatomy of the upper extremity region, including the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. Part III of the text explores the anatomy of the head, spinal column, thorax, and pelvis. These chapters include unique coverage not found in other anatomy texts, explaining how the brain, heart, and lungs—as the power centers of the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems—affect movement. Part IV discusses the anatomy of the lower extremity region: the hip, thigh, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot. Parts II, III, and IV each end with a summary table that offers a quick reference for the components of the body region featured in that part.Kinetic Anatomy, Fourth Edition, contains nearly 400 photos, illustrations, and infographics to help readers visualize structural anatomy and engage with their coursework. Throughout the book, Hands On exercises instruct readers to physically identify anatomical structures on themselves or on a partner, and Focus On sidebars illustrate circumstances in everyday activity that relate to the specific anatomical structures in the text. Pop quizzes provide readers an opportunity to strengthen their clinical reasoning skills by asking them to identify the muscles shown in the accompanying photo.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc The Skull of Quadruped and Bipedal Vertebrates:
Book SynopsisThis book forms part of the set, Comparative Anatomy and Posture of Animal and Human, and focuses on the skulls of Quaternary mammals and of Man since the acquisition of upright posture. Although the vast majority of the quadruped fossil species have a balanced postural adaptation, with no asymmetries or maxillo-mandibular dysmorphoses, the Hominine species that has acquired this readjustment of the body as well as a bipedal adaptation to the ground, will experience a series of postural imbalances starting with malocclusion in the genus Homo. In order to arrive at this conclusion, the cranio-facial architectural biodynamics of several species of fossil and current mammals have been analyzed over three decades. In addition, hundreds of skulls of anatomically modern Hominids have been examined, highlighting their occlusal offsets, variations, anomalies and pathologies.Table of ContentsIntroduction xi Part 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Biomedical Visualisation: Volume 12 ‒ The
Book SynopsisThis image-rich book explores the practice as well as the theory of visual representation and presents us with the importance of designing appropriate images for communication to specific target audiences. This includes the appropriate choice of high-tech digital or low-tech analogue technologies in image-making for communication within the medical education, biological research and community health contexts. We hear from medical students about the value of using clay modelling in their understanding of anatomy, from educators and curriculum designers about visual affordances in medical education and from a community-driven project in South Africa about their innovative use of locally designed images and culture-specific narratives for communicating important health information to marginalised communities. A chapter explores the evolution of scientific visualisation and representation of big data to a variety of audiences, and another presents the innovative 3D construction of internal cellular structures from microscopic 2D slices. As we embrace blended learning in anatomy education, a timely chapter prompts us to think further about and contribute to the ongoing discourse around important ethical considerations in the use and sharing of digital images of body donors. This book will appeal to educators, medical illustrators, curriculum designers, post-graduate students, community health practitioners and biomedical researchers.Table of Contentssee attachment

Springer International Publishing AG Surgery in and around the Orbit: CrossRoads
Book SynopsisThis OpenAccess - textbook sheds new light on pathology in and around the orbit, which is typically an area where many medical disciplines overlap. Each physician brings a specific expertise, but the goal should be that the end result of all this input is much more than the sum of the parts. Collaboration, insight and overall knowledge of all parties involved are essential to achieve an optimal patient outcome.Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have traditionally focused on the bony parts of the orbit, but usually have limited knowledge of the intricacies of binocular single vision, and for the Ophthalmologist it may be the other way around. In the past, scientific articles were often written from a single point of view, resulting in tunnel vision for the physician. The multidisciplinary approach to the orbit leads to an improvement in treatment that should not be underestimated and from which the patient benefits immensely. But especially for the physician and the trainees, a multidisciplinary consultation is a real goldmine in which a lot can be gained. Not every medical problem needs to be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework, but problems around the eye socket often do.At Amphia Hospital in Breda, the Netherlands, more than fifteen years ago, a collaboration between Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Ophthalmologists was initiated, which has proven to be very fruitful. The main focus was on Graves' Orbitopathy and orbital fractures, but problems associated with these conditions were also frequently encountered. For those who want to follow this example, or for those who are interested in both orbital surgery, anatomy or ophthalmological orbital issues, this book could prove to be complementary.Table of ContentsDedication (Mo)About the Authors / Special Acknowledgments (G0/Mo) Contents (Go)Preface (Mo)Introduction (Mo/Go)I Anatomy of the orbital region (Co/Go/ Mo)II Imaging of the orbit: “current concepts” (Wi)III Ex – enophthalmus (Mo)IV Diplopia (Je/Br)V Traumatologyorbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di)1. diagnostics and treatment planning (Scr/(Ma/Du/Di/Go)2. algorithm - flow sheet / treatment protocol (Du/Mo/Go/Ja/Je)3. treatment of orbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di/Be)4. orbital fractures in children (Du/ Go/Mo)5. emergency within the orbit (Mo/Du/Go/Di)VI Graves’ disease1.

Springer International Publishing AG Neuroendocrine Regulation of Mammalian Pregnancy
Book SynopsisAdaptations to maternal physiology are required for a successful pregnancy outcome. These changes are primarily orchestrated by the mother's brain and involve multiple neuroendocrine systems. For this book, the editors have gathered internationally recognized experts who have contributed to the major advances in our understanding ofdifferent aspects of the neuroendocrine regulation of mammalian pregnancy and lactation. The book begins with a discussion of how pregnancy is recognized and maintained and the role of the placental hormones in supporting key adaptations required for a successful pregnancy. The next few chapters focus on the neuroendocrine adaptations that occur during pregnancy in some key regulatory processes to ensure a sufficient supply of energy and nutrients, protect the fetus from potentially harmful maternal stress hormones, and prepare mammals for birth, milk production, lactation and motherhood. Finally, our current understanding of how the significant peripartum

Während die Systematisierung der eukaryotischen Einzeller umfangreiche Umstellungen erforderlich gemacht hat, erreicht die Großgliederung der Metazoa einen hohen Grad an Verlässlichkeit. Die wichtigsten Neuerungen sind die Auftrennung der Protostomia in die Spiralia (=Lophotrochozoa) und Ecdysozoa, die Herausnahme der Acoelomorpha aus den Plathelminthes und ihre Zusammenführung mit Xenoturbella als Xenacoelomorpha sowie die Auflösung der Articulata in Anneliden und Arthropoden mit der Neukonzeptierung der Annelida u.a. durch die Aufnahme auch der unsegmentierten Sipuncula.

Book SynopsisDie Grundlagen der Morphologie und der Anatomie von Großpilzen werden in diesem Lehrbuch, das auch für interessierte Laien verfasst wurde, allgemeinverständlich dargestellt. Es vermittelt zwischen der natürlichen Anschauung und dem Lehrbuchwissen, aber auch zwischen der akademischen und der populären Mykologie. Dies gelingt den Autoren auf der Basis von Definitionen und Erläuterungen fachsprachlicher Begriffe, untermauert durch naturnahe Illustrationen auf 112 Farbtafeln. Das Buch dient dem allgemeinen Verständnis der komplizierten Eigenheiten von Pilzen, die sich mit versteckter Sexualität, mit abnormen Vermehrungs- und Verbreitungsstrategien und mit Organismen verbindenden Symbiosen und weitgehend fehlender Individualität in vieler Hinsicht von Blütenpflanzen und Tieren unterscheiden.

Band der Speziellen Zoologie über die Schädel- oder Wirbeltiere (Craniota) liegt nun in dritter Auflage vor. 40 Autoren haben die Kapitel gründlich überarbeitet, aktualisiert und mit einer Reihe neuer oder verbesserter Abbildungen ergänzt. Sie beschreiben die Vielfalt dieser Tiergruppe anhand von Bau, Funktion und Leistung ihrer Organsysteme. Der Aufbau des Buches folgt der phylogenetischen Systematik, die Ergebnisse molekularer Verwandtschaftsanalysen wurden dabei berücksichtigt. Die bewährte Gliederung in einen relativ kurz gefassten Allgemeinen Teil, der die Grundzüge der Organisation dieser Tiergruppe in moderner Sicht darstellt, und einen umfangreichen Speziellen Teil, der die einzelnen Untergruppen detailliert abhandelt, wurde beibehalten. Für alle Taxa werden einzelne, auch heimische Arten vorgestellt, die phylogenetisch, ökologisch, ethologisch oder wirtschaftlich besonders bedeutend sind.Dieses anspruchsvolle Lehrbuch ist gleichzeitig ein Nachschlagewerk, das Biologen aus unterschiedlichsten Fachrichtungen einen fundierten Überblick über die Erscheinungsformen der Wirbeltiere gibt.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Zum Umgang mit aquatischen Organismen:
Book SynopsisDas Tierschutzgesetz fordert, dass im Namen der Verantwortung des Menschen seinen Mitgeschöpfen wissentlich weder Schmerzen noch Leiden zugefügt werden dürfen. Dies gilt auch für den Umgang mit zehnfüßigen Krebsen, Neunaugen und Fischen. Den Bedürfnissen dieser aquatischen Organismen wird allerdings bislang sowohl im Bereich der gewässerökologischen Feldforschung als auch in der ökotoxikologischen und genetischen Laborarbeit wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen die Autoren die Gültigkeit des Tierschutzes auch für aquatische Versuchstiere in den verschiedenen Einsatzgebieten dar. Neben Aspekten der Beantragung eines Tierversuches befassen sie sich mit Fragen zur Beschaffung, Hälterung und dem Umgang mit Krebsen, Neunaugen und Fischen. Darüber hinaus werden im Sinne eines Handbuches die gebräuchlichsten Markierungsmethoden sowie die für diese Eingriffe erforderlichen Techniken Schritt für Schritt erläutert. Ziel ist es, mit dem Buch ein besseres Verständnis für aquatische Organismen und ihre Bedürfnissen zu wecken und einen Standard für den schonenden Umgang mit solchen Versuchstieren zu setzen.Table of ContentsGenehmigungsweg eines Tierversuches.- Morphologie aquatischer Tiere.- Beschaffung von Versuchstieren.- Hälterung.- Narkose.- Operationsgestell für FIsche.- Markierung.- Verschluss von Schnitten und Wunden.- Verhaltensbeobachtungen mit aquatischen Organismen.- Ökotoxikologische Tests.- Genetische Untersuchungen.- Töten von Krebsen und Fischen.
