Book SynopsisNeuroanaesthesiology is a subspecialty area of anaesthesiology that deals with the complex relationships of anaesthetic medications, neurosurgical procedures, and the critical care issues that surround the management of these patients. This book is a comprehensive guide to neuroanaesthesiology for trainees in anaesthesia, neurosurgery and neurology. Divided into four sections, the text begins with in depth discussion on applied anatomy and physiology. Section two covers neuropathology, and section three examines case management detailing a multitude of different surgical procedures. The final section presents a selection of appendices. Reflecting the New York-based author’s extensive experience in the field, the book is designed to be a practical manual, teaching aid, and source of case discussions. The text is bulleted and concise, explaining key concepts with the help of line diagrams, numerical data, and tables. The layout of the content provides space for personal annotations to assist learning and interesting vignettes about neurosciences further enhance reading.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: Applied Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1: Cell Biology of the Nervous System Chapter 2: Blood–Brain Barrier Chapter 3: Applied Anatomy of the Central Nervous System Chapter 4: Spinal Cord Anatomy Chapter 5: Visual Pathway Chapter 6: Auditory Pathway Chapter 7: Cerebral Circulation: Anatomy Chapter 8: Cerebral Blood Flow Regulation Chapter 9: Brain Metabolism and Flow Metabolism Coupling Chapter 10: Cerebrospinal Fluid Formation and Circulation Chapter 11: Hypothalamus—Pituitary Axis Chapter 12: Electrophysiological Monitoring Chapter 13: Neurological Monitoring and Imaging Chapter 14: Positioning during Neurosurgery Chapter 15: Anesthetic Neuroprotection and Neurotoxicity SECTION 2: Neuropathology for Anesthesiologists Chapter 16: Raised Intracranial Pressure and CSF Drainage Procedures Chapter 17: Hydrocephalus in Children Chapter 18: Atherosclerotic Cerebrovascular Disease Chapter 19: Brain Tumor Pathology Chapter 20: Brain Edema and Herniation Chapter 21: Cerebral Aneurysms Chapter 22: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Cerebral Vasospasm Chapter 23: Pathophysiology of Arteriovenous Malformations Chapter 24: Surgical Treatment of Chronic Pain Chapter 25: Developmental Abnormalities of Spine and Scoliosis Chapter 26: Pathophysiology of Spinal Cord Injury Chapter 27: Movement Disorders Chapter 28: Seizure Types and Treatment Chapter 29: Venous Air Embolism Chapter 30: Traumatic Brain Injury Chapter 31: Targeted Temperature Management.

Book SynopsisIs tai chi a stretching exercise, deep-breathing program, martial art, dance or prayer? Yes, it's all those and more.Tai chi, like many ancient Eastern practices, does not fit strict Western categories. Tai chi, together with the extraordinary self-healing method developed by Dr Lee, offers relief for stress, breathing disorders, muscular ailments, chronic headaches, and a variety of modern office- and sports-related complaints, as well as for deep emotional distress.Few today are as well positioned to explain the healing powers of tai chi as Dr. Martin Lee, a renowned engineering physicist and tai chi master. He and his wife, Emily, also a tai chi master, are the only Americans to have studied with Yu Pen-Shih, one of China's foremost ch'i kung masters. Dr. Lee has developed a groundbreaking practical program that combines Eastern and Western approaches to wellness, which he calls 'physical philosophy.' Its goal is to help people become 'one with nature,' a Buddhist term for the natural restoration of true health.The rewards of one-with-nature tai chi are inner happiness, self-control, self-realization, and self-healing. Each one of these benefits receives individual attention, complete with the 64 tai chi forms, thoroughly illustrated with photographs and diagrams. The central focus is on the flow of energy — the chi, or 'inner breath' — that tai chi evokes through Lee's four basic instructions: Relax. Breathe. Feel the earth. Do nothing extra. Here is a valuable health, exercise, and meditation program that combines ancient spiritual insights with advanced scientific knowledge and important original discoveries.
