Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) Books

Book SynopsisIntricately shaped and amazingly sensitive, ears are the organs of hearing and balance. When something goes wrong with the ears-whether infection or cancer, eardrum perforation or hearing loss-our overall well-being is generally disturbed. In The Ear Book, Drs. Thomas J. Balkany and Kevin D. Brown, recognized experts on ears and hearing, explain how the anatomy of the ear facilitates hearing and balance and then examine the causes, symptoms, and treatment of common problems of the outer, middle, and inner ear. Their explanations take the mystery out of hearing aids, the proper care of ears, and how the pressurized conditions of scuba diving and air travel affect the ears. And they debunk ear-related myths-from the notion that exposure to loud noise strengthens the ear to the idea that tinnitus can be cured with nutrients-and urge readers to stop using ear candling or Q-tips to get rid of wax. Drs. Balkany and Brown address such common questions as: Can dizziness be cured? How loud iTrade ReviewIn "The Ear Book: A Complete Guide to Ear Disorders and Health", Drs. Thomas J.

Book SynopsisNobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton's microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features: Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer, with remarkable detail and clarity. An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter. Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region. Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries. An exceptionally stunning anatomical reference, this book is a must-have reference for residents, and advanced clinicians specializing in neurosurgery, facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial surgery.Table of ContentsSection I Intracranial Region and Skull 1 Intracranial Region 2 Skull: External and Internal Views 3 Orbit and Facial Bone Section II Upper Facial and Midfacial Region 4 Upper Facial and Midfacial Region Overview 5 Forehead and Orbital Region 6 Temporal Region 7 Superficial Structures in the Midfacial Region 8 Maxillary Region 9 Masseteric Region 10 Deep Structures in the Midfacial Region Section III Lower Facial and Posterolateral Neck Region 11 Lower Facial Region 12 Oral Floor and Upper Neck Region 13 Posterior Neck and Occipital Region 14 Lateral Neck Region
