Book SynopsisPain and discomfort related to the spine are extremely common, to the extent that back and neck pain may be considered part of the human condition. In most instances, interventions are not necessary. However, surgery can be required in some situations, and may be considered as a valuable option in others. In order to enable accurate patient counselling and to help in fine-tuning indications for surgery (for example, after unsatisfactory relief from conservative pain management), physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists should be aware of surgery rationales and techniques. In most cases, surgery does not stand on its own, and postoperative rehabilitation will benefit from a certain degree of surgical knowledge by the physiotherapist and rehabilitation specialist. Additionally, it is paramount that all spinal caregivers speak the same vocabulary and issue the same messages to the patient. This little book explains surgical reasoning and surgical techniques to non-surgeons. It aims at crossing the bridge between surgical and rehabilitation paradigms to the benefit of patients. The entire field is covered in a concise and comprehensive way, and will be a must-read in spinal rehabilitation practices.

Book SynopsisTable of ContentsAcknowledgments viii How to Use This Book ix This book is neither a comprehensive text nor an exam-review tool. It is an overview of the immune system, designed to give anyone who is learning immunology a feel for how the system fits together. About the Companion Website x Lecture 1 An Overview 1 The immune system is a “team effort,” involving many different players who work together to provide a powerful defense against invaders. Focusing on one player at a time makes it hard to understand the game. Here we view the action from the grandstand to get a wide-angle picture of what the immune system is all about. Lecture 2 The Innate Immune System 12 The innate immune system is a “hard-wired” defense that has evolved over millions of years to recognize pathogens that commonly infect humans. It provides a rapid and powerful response against “everyday” invaders. Lecture 3 B Cells and Antibodies 26 B cells and the antibodies they produce are part of the adaptive immune system – a system that protects us against pathogens both common and rare. Lecture 4 The Magic of Antigen Presentation 40 T cells, another weapon of the adaptive immune system, only recognize invaders that are properly presented by specialized antigen presenting cells. This feature keeps T cells focused on the types of attackers they can defend against. Lecture 5 T Cell Activation 52 Before they can spring into action, T cells must be activated. This requirement helps insure that only useful weapons will be mobilized. Lecture 6 T Cells at Work 60 Once they have been activated, helper T cells orchestrate the immune response, and killer T cells destroy infected cells. Lecture 7 Secondary Lymphoid Organs and Lymphocyte Trafficking 69 B and T lymphocytes travel through secondary lymphoid organs looking for the intruders they can defend against. Once activated in the secondary lymphoid organs, B and T cells are dispatched to the particular areas of the body where they can be most useful. Lecture 8 Restraining the Immune System 82 The powerful weapons of the immune system must be restrained lest they become overly exuberant. In addition, once an invader has been defeated, the immune system must be “reset” to prepare for future attacks. Lecture 9 Self Tolerance and MHC Restriction 86 T cells must be “tested” to be sure they focus on appropriately presented antigens, and B and T lymphocytes must be screened to eliminate those which might attack our own bodies. Lecture 10 Immunological Memory 97 The innate immune system remembers pathogens which have been attacking humans for millions of years. In contrast, B and T cells remember pathogens we have encountered during our lifetime. Memory B and T lymphocytes respond more quickly and effectively to a subsequent attack by the same invader. Lecture 11 The Intestinal Immune System 103 The human intestines are home to trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. How the immune system deals with these potentially dangerous intestinal residents, which frequently invade the tissues surrounding the intestines, is a hot topic in immunology. Lecture 12 The Immune System Gone Wrong 110 The immune system usually does a good job of defending us. Sometimes, however, mistakes are made. Two examples of the “immune system gone wrong” are allergies and autoimmunity. Lecture 13 Immunodeficiency 119 Serious disease may result when our immune system does not operate at full strength. Humans who are infected with HIV-1 have profoundly impaired immune systems. Lecture 14 Vaccines 125 Vaccines safely mimic a microbial attack so that our immune system will be primed and ready for a future challenge by the same pathogen. Lecture 15 Cancer and the Immune System 132 The human immune system is not very good at defending us against cancer. Indeed, there is a built-in conflict between the need to minimize the chance that its weapons will attack our own bodies and the need to destroy cancer cells. Lecture 16 Immunotherapy 139 Physicians are “borrowing” some of the weapons of the immune system and using them to treat disease. Lecture 17 COVID-19 and the Immune System 146 The COVID-19 pandemic has given immunologists a “laboratory” to study the immune response to respiratory viral infections. The COVID-19 vaccine program has resulted in major advances in vaccine design, including the mRNA vaccine platform. Glossary 154 Here are definitions of some of the terms that immunologists use – but which “normal” people wouldn’t. Acronyms and Abbreviations 158 Immunologists are big on acronyms and abbreviations, but they can drive you crazy. So I’ve made a list to which you can refer. Index 159

Book SynopsisIntensive care medicine is a dynamic and evolving specialty, requiring its practitioners to be part physician, physiologist and anaesthetist. This requires a firm foundation of knowledge and an ability to apply this to the clinical situation. This book contains 270 multiple choice questions allowing self-assessment of the breadth of knowledge required of the modern intensivist. The book is divided into three papers each consisting of 60 multiple true false (MTF) and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions covering areas including resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and ethical and legal aspects of practice. The MTF questions test factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence base underpinning intensive care medicine, while the SBA questions test the ability of the candidate to prioritise, compete options and make the best decision for the patient. Each question is peer reviewed and accompanied by concise and detailed explanatory notes with references to guide further reading. All the authors are practising intensive care physicians with first-hand experience of professional examinations in the specialty. This book will appeal to intensive care physicians approaching professional examinations worldwide, including the European Diploma, American Board and Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine examinations. In addition, it will appeal to intensive care nurses and allied healthcare professionals wishing to update their knowledge as part of continuing professional development, and to physicians sitting professional examinations in related specialties requiring knowledge of intensive care medicine such as general medicine, general surgery and anaesthesia. This book will complement the existing international best-selling title "Multiple Choice Questions in Intensive Care Medicine" (9781903378 649), also written by Dr Steve Benington.

Book SynopsisMedical professionals are often viewed as a special breed of stoic figures whose tough grace allows them to stay strong as they confront human frailty and tragedy on a daily basis. Human is a new anthology that aims to dispel this unhelpful line of thought, revealing a more realistic picture of individuals shaped by forces—good and bad—just like the rest of us. Collecting writing from medical students around the world, Human aims to demystify medical education by showing the vulnerability in a group typically viewed as indestructible. It also seeks to remind medical trainees that, even though it may feel like their lives have been put on hold for the sake of their education, they are continually growing and evolving, and as worthy of love and a full life as anyone else—in short, that they are human.

With newly updated tests, norms, in-depth validity analyses, and meaningful commentary, the Compendium ranks among the most important and useful books a neuropsychologist should have. This is why it remains an enduring and contemporary classic. * Joel E. Morgan, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of the Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychology *The Compendium has been the primary reference for test description, administration, psychometrics, normative data, and clinical interpretation since it first appeared in 1991. It has become the foundational text in the library of every practicing neuropsychologist. Yet, this is not solely a test-based textbook; rather, it is a review of the psychometric status of the field. I cannot think of a better guide to knowing our tools. * Glenn Larrabee, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of Forensic Neuropsychology: A Scientific Approach *The Compendium is among the top three must-have textbooks for all neuropsychologists. It is the first book I turn to when I need information about a particular test. * Robin C. Hilsabeck, PhD, ABPP-CN, Past President, National Academy of Neuropsychology *A particularly important aspect to the fourth edition is that information is provided for each test regarding its use as a performance or symptom validity measure, in addition to its primary role as a source of neurocognitive information. * Kyle Brauer Boone, PhD, ABPP-CN, Author of Clinical Practice of Forensic Neuropsychology: An Evidence-based Approach *Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Book SynopsisIn this book lies a key for decoding modern medical terminology, a living language that, despite some quirks, is best approached as an ordered system. Rather than presenting a mere list of word elements to be absorbed through rote memorization, The Hippocrates Code offers a thorough, linguistically-centered explanation of the rules of the terminological game, both for the language of medicine and for scientific vocabulary in general. Its careful exposition of Latin and Greek linguistic principles—along with a healthy dose of innovative exercises—empowers students to successfully employ the word elements that are the building blocks of modern medical terminology. Along the way, fascinating discussions of the practice of medicine in the ancient world provide an integral aid to the understanding of medical vocabulary. Code-breakers drawn to language, history, and medicine will be as stimulated as they are enlightened.The Hippocrates Code features: Twenty-eight chapters covering the principles behind the formation of medical vocabulary derived from Latin and Greek, complete with a rich harvest of the most useful prefixes, suffixes, and bases Detailed anatomical diagrams paired with an etymological tour of the human body Selected readings from ancient medical writers, with commentaries that compare and contrast medical practices in antiquity with those of the present day An abundant array of diverse and often ingenious exercises that require critical thinking about the application of word elements. For additional vocabulary practice, exercises, pronunciation aids, and much more The Hippocrates Code companion website: www.hippocratescode.comTrade Review"Innovative, well-conceived, and with real pedagogical, intellectual, and historical value—a very rare combination of merits in the ocean of available options for teaching medical terminology. An additional advantage of the book is the engaging, down-to-earth style of presentation. The abundance of curious facts about ancient medical practice and modern day references will appeal to the savvy and to-the-point pre-med student who does not have much time for highfalutin speech but is nevertheless hungry for new, less well-known information. Wholeheartedly recommended." —Svetla Slaveva-Griffin, Dept. of Classics, Florida State University

Book SynopsisThis book contains a Foreword by Allyson Pollock, Professor and Head, Centre for International Public Health Policy, University of Edinburgh. Healthcare students, practitioners and researchers need a sound basis for making valid statistical inferences from health data. To make the best use of statistical software, it is necessary to understand how probabilistic inference works. This book explains that, along with the various ways statistical data can be described and presented. It is designed to develop insight rather than simply the mechanical skills found in other textbooks. This book is specifically designed to underpin the concepts of statistics and epidemiology. It is practical and easy to use and is ideal for people who can feel uncomfortable with mathematics. 'Excellent. A great primer for all students and research workers engaged in learning how to use statistical ideas in public health. It sets out the core concepts and explains them clearly, using worked examples as illustration. If followed carefully, the engaged reader should be able to use the standard statistical software packages intelligently and sensitively. It will stimulate the public health student, in whatever context, and new researchers, to approach the enterprise with enhanced confidence in interpreting and coherently explaining their findings.' - Allyson Pollock, in the Foreword.Trade Review'Suitable for students and researchers in public health.' MARY JANE PLATT, PUBLIC HEALTHTable of ContentsDescribing a mass of data. A necessary glimpse of probability. Using the normal curve. An approximation to the normal curve. Poisson's solution.

Book SynopsisPublished by Eureka Press, Tokyo, and distributed outside Japan by Routledge.From the Introduction by Setsuko KagawaThe history of women’s medical education is one of the most remarkable aspects of social change in nineteenth-century Britain. Before the modernization and professionalization of medicine, women played an important part in the familial or local medical care systems. However, they were gradually excluded from formal medical practice due to a lack of systematic medical education. Women who hoped to enter the medical profession were obliged to fight a long and painful struggle to gain opportunities for medical education. Sometimes they managed to take informal and personal instruction from sympathetic male physicians, or they had to go abroad to search for medical training and university degrees. Female pioneers had to break through the boundaries of gender and nation defined by medical and social authorities, and they made their way across frontiers; they fought to enter men’s universities and, furthermore, they endured a long journey to colonial lands to practice medicine. The whole story of women’s advance in medicine with collective life-histories of early female doctors reveals significant findings that give a new dimension in women’s and gender history as well as medical history. In this series, I collected contemporary writings relating to pioneering women who contributed in opening up a path for women to practice medicine as qualified doctors in Great Britain. Most of them were of English origin with the exception of some American doctors whose achievements had considerable influence upon English practice. Equally they embraced the earnest ambition to practice scientific medicine especially for their sex, as well as the belief that women were men’ s intellectual equals. (… )In the collected writings in this series, we can glimpse one of the most dramatic aspects of English social history from the latter half of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Female pioneers had fought to gain opportunities in medical education as well as access to medical practice. Most of them undertook the challenge to the unknown world; sometimes they tried to enter men’s universities, or go abroad to study at foreign universities, and, furthermore, sailed for colonial lands to practice medicine. The story of women’s medical education is valuable for many historians to explore from a variety of viewpoints, and I hope the writings in this series will be of use to future studies.Table of ContentsVol. 1 : Opening the Medical Profession to Women Introduction by Setsuko Kagawa Barbara Leigh Smith Women and Work, 1857, c. 60 pp. Elizabeth Blackwell Medicine as a Profession for Women, English Woman's Journal, Vol.V, pp.145-160, 1862, c.20 pp. Emily Davies Medicine as a Profession for Women, 1862, in Thoughts on Some Questions Relating to Women, 1860-1908, pp. 34-40, 1910, c. 10 pp. Frances Elizabeth Hoggan Women in Medicine, in Elizabeth Stanton ed., The Woman Question in Europe, pp.63-89, 1884, c. 30 pp. Sophia Jex-Blake Medical Women : A Thesis and a History, 1886, c. 360 pp. Mary Scharlieb Women in Medical Profession, Historical Review; An Address at the Women's Institute on January 25th,1898, pp.1-16.
