Book SynopsisThis work reviews the basic concepts of immunology and introduces the reader to the latest findings on immunological aspects of diseases of the head and neck. In the past two decades, there has been an explosion of new knowledge in immunology. The contributors to this volume, all of whom have been active in clinical and basic research, describe how recent discoveries in immunology play an increasingly vital role in the understanding and care of patients with head and neck diseases. An important teaching tool for the resident in training and a valuable reference work for physicians in practice, this book will be of special interest to otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons, surgical oncologists, pediatricians, allergists, rheumatologists and edu­ cators desiring an advanced text in the field. Jacques F. Poliquin, MD Allen F. Ryan, PhD Jeffrey P. Harris, MD, PhD INTRODUCTION Immunology has been traced back at least to 1000 AD. when the Chinese discovered that the inhalation of smallpox crusts had some value in prevention of the disease. However, immunology as a science has developed almost entirely within the last 100 years.Table of ContentsI: General Immunology.- 1—Cells and tissues of immunity.- 2—Immunochemistry.- 3—Nonspecific immune response.- 4—-Specific immune responses.- 5—Mucosal immune responses.- II: Immunobiology of the Head and Neck.- 6—Tonsillitis and adenoiditis.- 7—Immunology of otitis media.- 8—Nasal allergy.- 9—Hyperimmune and autoimmune diseases.- 10—Immunodeficiency diseases.- 11—Cancer.- 12—Transplantation in otolaryngology.- 13—Clinical and Experimental Immunobiology of the Ear.- Author Index.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces readers to modern micro ear surgery procedures employing 3-D methods. Divided into 5 chapters, it explores 43 micro ear surgery operations, while 418 pairs of stereoscopic images illustrate each procedure in 3-D detail.Using the operating microscope, which provides true stereo vision through its two-eye lens system, the authors present various micro ear surgeries, including mastoid and middle ear surgery, facial nerve surgery, inner ear surgery, and lateral skull base surgery. For each pair of stereoscopic images, readers can find the anatomic structures captured from two different angles, and will learn how to use stereoscopic 3-D methods to view the anatomic structures hidden deep in the temporal bone. As such, the book offers a valuable guide book and reference work for doctors specializing in otology, neurology and related fields. Table of ContentsGeneral introduction.- Mastoid and middle ear surgery.- Facial nerve surgery.- Inner ear surgery.- Lateral skull base surgery.

Book SynopsisEndoscopic Approaches to the Paranasal Sinuses and Skull Base With the continuing evolution of endoscopic techniques for surgery of lesions of the paranasal sinuses and skull base, and the reduced morbidity associated with this minimally invasive modality, the method has gained widespread use in recent years. This work offers a thorough review of all endoscopic approaches for access to the nose and paranasal sinuses and, through them, to the skull base. Central to this guide is the emphasis on profound knowledge of the complex anatomy in this area, as well as the many vital structures that can be endangered there. To this end, more than 900 full-color images, most photographs from cadaver dissections, are put to brilliant use. Key Features: Internationally renowned specialists and pioneers from Europe and the United States as editors and contributors Full-color photos from fresh cadaver dissections illustrate all steps for each approach Specific anatomic landmarks as revealed during each step are detailed, providing confidence in spatial orientation Correlative CT sections provide crucial additional information Risks and potential complications are included, as well as methods to reduce them Endoscopic Approaches to the Paranasal Sinuses and Skull Base is intended as an indispensable guide for residents, fellows, and specialist surgeons in otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and skull base surgery.Trade Review...the authors do an excellent job of transforming this subject matter into an intelligible and understandable read...The true highlight of this textbook is the focus on the anatomy and anatomical landmarks of each approach...The numerous illustrations are superb... -- Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology Key individuals dedicated to the effective and safe application of skull base surgery techniques over the past 2 decades have provided the foundation for this excellent textbook. -- NeurosurgeryTable of ContentsSection 1 Introduction 1 Evolution of Skull Base Surgery: The Multidisciplinary Team Approach 2 Three-Dimensional Anatomy of the Skull Base: The Ventral Pathway Section 2 Anatomy of the Lateral Nasal Wall and the Paranasal Sinuses 3 Endoscopic Lateral Nasal Wall and Anterior and Posterior Ethmoid Sinus Dissection 4 Frontal Sinus and Draf Approaches 5 Sphenoid Sinus 6 Medial Maxillectomy 7 Anterior and Posterior Ethmoidal Arteries 8 Sphenopalatine and Maxillary Arteries Section 3 Anterior Cranial Fossa 9 Transcribriform Approach 10 Endoscopic Transtuberculum Transplanum Approach 11 Suprasellar Approach to the Third Ventricle 12 Endoscopic Sellar Approach 13 Cavernous Sinus Approach 14 Endonasal Endoscopic–Assisted Intraorbital Approach 15 Transorbital Neuroendoscopic Approach Section 4 Middle Cranial Fossa 16 The Anteromedial Corridor via the Expanded Endonasal Approach: The "Front Door to Meckel's Cave" 17 Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to Intrapetrous Carotid Artery 18 Anterior Endoscopic Petrosectomy Section 5 Clivus and Posterior Cranial Fossa 19 Pituitary Gland Transposition and Retrosellar Approach 20 Transclival Approach 21 Endoscopic Approaches to the Craniovertebral Junction 22 The "Far Medial" (Transcondylar/Transtubercular) Approach to the Inferior Third of the Clivus 23 Jugular Foramen Approach Section 6 Pterygopalatine and Infratemporal Fossa 24 Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to Pterygopalatine Fossa 25 Infratemporal Approach 26 Nasopharyngectomy Section 7 Combined Endoscopic–Transcranial Approaches 27 Transbasal/Subfrontal-Transcribriform Approach to Anterior Skull Base 28 Retrosigmoid-Transclival Approach 29 Far Lateral-Craniovertebral Approach 30 Anterior Transpetrosal Approach versus EEA Transclival Approach Section 8 Basic Landmarks in Expanded Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery 31 Intracranial Vascular Anatomy 32 Anteromedial Corridors to the Cranial Nerves 33 Bony Landmarks Section 9 Reconstruction Techniques 34 The Pedicled Nasoseptal Flap 35 Middle and Inferior Turbinate Flaps 36 Anterior and Posterior Pedicle Lateral Nasal Wall Flaps 37 Pericranial and Temporoparietal Fascia Flaps

Book SynopsisSalivary Glands: Structure, Functions and Regulation summarizes the current understanding of the critical role that miRNAs and lncRNAs may play in salivary gland development and physiology, tumorigenesis and its progression, as well as in other pathologies. The authors also evaluate their potential as circulating biomarkers and therapeutic targets in different pathologies. Next, the authors explore the diagnostic assessment, surgical approaches, and use of radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of parotid tumors. Furthermore, the most common complications of parotid surgery and relative management are considered. The clinical presentation, etiology and diagnostic modality of juvenile recurrent parotitis is reviewed, in conjunction with the role of sialoendoscopy in the diagnosis, management and prevention of recurrent attacks.

Book SynopsisHearing loss is a chronic and often lifelong disability that can cause profound damage to the development of speech, language, and cognitive skills in children, especially when commencing before the critical period of language development in infancy. That damage, in turn, affects the child''s progress in school and, later, his or her ability to obtain, keep, and perform an occupation. In addition to its effects on individuals, data from several countries indicate that hearing loss has huge economic consequences. Thus, prevention of hearing loss, as well as being socially and morally justifiable, makes substantial economic sense as well.

Book SynopsisBilateral Cochlear Implants (CIs) offer great benefits to patients suffering from lack of hearing by improving speech understanding as well as by providing a sense of directionality. Software and hardware synchronization issues of binaural processing have limited all the benefits that could be offered by bilateral CIs. This book provides discussions on topics that include a generalized speech enhancement framework for bilateral cochlear implants using a single processor; long-term results of CIs; minimally invasive cochlear implantation; quality of life in adult CI recipients; and the evolution of the indications for CI and new frontiers.

Book SynopsisDeafness is one of the most widespread, costly and poorly understood disabilities in the world. Hearing impairment is a condition that involves medical, psychological and social aspects. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) about 250 million people have disabling hearing loss and two-thirds of them live in the developing world. Millions of people progressively lose their most important means of communication and became socially isolated, especially in the later years of their life. This handbook provides recent research on several different hearing disorders.

Book SynopsisThe past two decades have witnessed enormous advances in the field of rhinology and sinonasal diseases. Chronic Sinusitis is one of the most common chronic illnesses. The introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the late eighties has revolutionised the surgical approach to sinus disease. Since that time, endoscopic sinus surgery has become the surgical procedure of choice and has been adopted for training and teaching. Furthermore, the approach to sinus disease has significantly evolved. We have witnessed the introduction of balloon sinuplasty, image guided surgery, multidisciplinary approach and the promotion of evidence based medicine and guidelines. The essence of any surgical technique or any guideline is based on the wealth of knowledge of anatomy and physiology. This book details the explicit anatomy and pathophysiology of the various sinuses. Special emphasis has been made on paediatric sinus diseases since it is a topic that has not been well covered and mandates further understanding. This unique book can form a roadmap for the otolaryngologist in training, medical students practicing otolaryngologist in private or academic sector and paramedical personnel. The target and scope go beyond otolaryngology to attract the attention of any paediatrician, general practitioner or family medicine specialist. The chapters have been well-written not only to detail the importance of each structure and pathophysiological mechanisms, but also to make it easily understandable for all readers at different levels. The authors have been selected from panels of nationally and intellectually acknowledged experts. The wealth of information in this book has exhausted the efforts of brilliant and well-established, experienced and academically prominent leaders in their fields. All chapters are not only written in easy-to-read detailed paragraphs, but are also illustrated with radiographic and surgical figures adding a live interpretation to the abstractive sentences. It is our hope that this text will serve as a comprehensive contemporary guide and reference to all students and practitioners that aim to widen their horizon of learning, revive their illustrative and descriptive memory of knowledge and improve their expertise.

Book SynopsisThe spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing ranges from primary snoring at one end to obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea at the other end. The first chapter in this book provides current state of knowledge about the mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea and reviews emerging therapies for these disorders. Furthermore, sleep apnea usually has multifactorial causes and affects multiple organic systems resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity, disturbing sleep quality, metabolic balance, glucose and cholesterol levels, arterial hypertension and thus increasing cardiopulmonary and vascular morbidity. The second chapter summarises the main findings in literature and provides a brief and concise differential diagnosis. The authors of the third chapter expose and discuss current evidence of neurosurgical conditions and their role in the genesis and progression of sleep apnea. They emphasise the adequate treatment and future perspectives. The following chapter examine the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the eye. Different ophthalmologic disorders are associated with OSAS including floppy eyelid syndrome, retinal vein occlusion, and central serious retinopathy. The last chapter in this book is focused on QT dispersion in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, with increased QT dispersion potentially reflecting disturbed myocardial repolarisation and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias.
