Illustrated Abdominal Surgery: Based on Embryology and Anatomy of the Digestive System
by Hisashi ShinoharaThis comprehensive, illustrated guide presents representative general surgery, including gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary and inguinal hernia. Surgery is generally based on the microanatomy; however, in practice surgery involves more dynamic and floating anatomy. In the last decade, the methods have been constantly improved, shedding new light on classical anatomical science. Laparoscopic is one such methodology. All illustrations presented in this book have been drawn by the author – a pioneering surgeon – and show real-world procedures. All the methods introduced are practical and have been refined based on the precise clinical and embryological anatomy. This unique book offers readers essential insights into efficient and high-integrity surgeries in abdominal region. As such, it is a valuable resource for all gastrointestinal surgeons.

Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer
by Hiroaki Nomori Morihito OkadaAdvances in CT have enabled us to detect small lung cancers, which has changed the lung cancer surgery from lobectomy to a lesser lobar resection such as a segmentectomy or wedge resection. While wedge resection is a simple procedure, it has a higher risk of local recurrence of cancer than a lobectomy. On the other hand, segmentectomy is a well known curative surgery for small lung cancers. However, it is difficult to perform accurately because of its anatomical complexity, which makes surgeons hesitant to use it. The book "Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer" provides readers a detailed explanation of segmentectomy with numerous easy-to-understand color illustrations showing the precise segmental anatomies for each pattern of the procedure. To better illustrate an accurate anatomical segmentectomy, the text shows details of anatomy during segmentectomy. This can involve up to 25 patterns, each of which is shown in roughly 10 illustrations.
Illustrated Dictionary of Immunology
by Julius M. Cruse Robert E. LewisFrom the beginning, immunologists have maintained a unique nomenclature that has often mystified and even baffled their colleagues in other fields, causing them to liken immunology to a black box.

Illustrated Manual of Orthognathic Surgery: Combined Bimaxillary Osteotomies in the Facial Skeleton
by Nicolas Hardt Peter Kessler Kensuke YamauchiThe third volume of a multi-volume series considers the gain in experience and knowledge in orthognathic surgery through preoperative 3D planning and postoperative control using established and new clinical protocols in orthognathic maxillofacial surgery. Standard techniques in orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery are contrasted with alternatives based on years of experience and knowledge. Orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery has experienced a renaissance in recent years, mainly due to three-dimensional radiologic imaging, digital planning and computer-aided manufacturing techniques. The book is deliberately structured in such a way that the clinical situation is supplemented with graphic illustrations for better understanding, which are intended to point out special situations that can in turn positively influence the surgical planning of the procedure in order to avoid undesirable results in individual cases. Volume III deals with the bimaxillary approach for the correction of facial deformities. The book will have a reduced text section but with many clinical images to show the logic of the surgical approach in a simple and clear way to the surgeon who is image-oriented. Illustrations must help where radiological images fail. The structure of the book will nevertheless be classic, as the variations of the established techniques can only be understood on the basis of historical development. A corresponding book that combines clinical situations with pre- and postoperative radiological and clinical evaluation and graphic explanation does not exist to date. It will appeal to a broad readership of students and professionals working within Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, and Otorhinolaryngology.
Illustrated Manual of Orthognathic Surgery: Osteotomies of the Mandible
by Nicolas Hardt Peter Kessler Kensuke YamauchiThis first volume in a multi-volume series considers the gains in information and knowledge that have resulted from preoperative and postoperative 3D imaging using new radiologic protocols in maxillofacial surgery, with the corresponding consequences for the surgeon. It contrasts the established standard techniques of orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery with new considerations and insights based on years of experience and analysis of clinical activity in this subspecialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery.The book is deliberately structured so that the clinical situation is juxtaposed with a graphic representation for better understanding, which is intended to point out special situations that can in turn positively influence the surgical planning and execution of the procedure in order to avoid undesirable results in individual cases. Graphic representations illustrate the three-dimensionality of the complex splitting technique of the mandible where text or radiographs are insufficient.A corresponding book that combines clinical anatomical situations with pre- and postoperative preparation and clear explanation does not yet exist. It is aimed at a wide readership of students and professionals in oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, plastic and craniofacial surgery, and otolaryngology.

Illustrated Psychometric Forensic Atlas: Perspectives in Criminal and Forensic Psychopathology
by Bernat-N. Tiffon Jorge Gonzalez FernandezOriginally published in Spanish in 2022 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, An Illustrated Psychometric Forensic Atlas is a one-of-a-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing medico-legal examinations related to various, primarily violent, crime cases, which are of forensic psychological interest.The book provides extensive details of such cases, including the background circumstances, psychological assessments and – in some cases – official clinical diagnoses, as well as numerous photos that illustrate what police, investigators and medical examiners discovered during crime scene and autopsy inquiries. While the coverage largely focuses on the details surrounding these cases, the book articulates the capabilities of forensic and psychology professionals and expert witnesses in such cases, as well as the limitations based on what information is unknown and, in some cases, cannot be known. This largely pertains to the psychological state of the aggressors and perpetrators in such violent cases and acts. The result is a thoroughly engaging presentation of forensically challenging cases; the investigative and assessment processes performed by medical, forensic, investigative and psychological professionals and a critical understanding of how the procedures followed impact the adjudication of such cases in the courts. While some cases can be definitively understood, with the results determined through forensic and psychological analyses, others leave many important questions unresolved and unanswered. As such, the book provides a fascinating analysis – and sheds light on – practices that can inform these types of cases, as well as the constraints of what forensic and psychological analysis can yield.

Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery
by Herbert ChenWith the large number of surgical atlases in the market focusing on a variety of surgical procedures, it is almost impossible to find an area that is not comprehensively illustrated. However, almost all of these atlases are very large and serve to be 'library reference' books, which are commonly displayed in the office and utilized in that manner. There is no atlas which is easily transportable, yet one would imagine that every medical student and resident would potentially want a copy of such a title to carry on them at all times. The book aims to cover all facets of general surgery and each chapter has five to ten photographs illustrating the basic anatomical context, as well as the various techniques specific to the operation. Each chapter author provides a brief narrative describing what is going on during the operation, and also outlines common pitfalls and personal suggestions.
Im Fokus: Dem Bauplan des Lebens auf der Spur
by Nadja Podbregar Dieter LohmannWelche Macht haben unsere Gene? Sind sie die schicksalhafte Blaupause, die bestimmt, wie intelligent, wie alt oder wie schön wir sind? Lange Zeit war dies die gängige Lehrmeinung. Doch das Dogma ihrer monolithischen Allmacht ist heute längst gefallen. Immer häufiger stoßen Forscher auf Hinweise, wie unser Leben den Genen "ins Handwerk" pfuscht und wie eng die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Erbgut, Stoffwechsel und Umwelt manchmal sind. Die moderne Biotechnologie eröffnet neue Wege der Forschung, wirft aber auch ethische und gesellschaftliche Fragen auf. Dieses Buch erklärt unter anderem, warum bei den Genen die Verpackung manchmal wichtiger ist als der Inhalt, was Viren in unserem Erbgut verloren haben und weshalb es "das Methusalem-Gen" nicht gibt.

In den letzten Jahren sind Neurowissenschaftler immer tiefer in die Struktur und Physiologie des Gehirns vorgedrungen. Sie entdeckten neue, überraschende Zusammenhänge und Wechselwirkungen, die auch unser Bild von uns selbst ständig verändern. Dieses Buch nimmt Leser mit auf eine Erkundungsreise zu faszinierenden und rätselhaften Phänomenen unseres Denkens, Fühlens und Bewusstseins.
Im Reich der Träume: Die rätselhafte Welt des Schlafes
by David K. RandallDer New York Times-Bestseller über die erstaunlichen Erkenntnisse der SchlafforschungJede Nacht widmen wir ihm etliche Stunden: Dennoch gibt der Schlaf uns allen – Schläfern wie Wissenschaftlern gleichermaßen – verblüffend viele Rätsel auf. Obwohl wir nahezu ein Drittel unseres Lebens schlafend verbringen, wissen wir nicht wirklich, inwiefern dies bedeutsam für uns ist. Warum müssen wir überhaupt schlafen? Warum bedroht Schlafmangel unsere Gesundheit, warum ist Schlafentzug Folter? Was geschieht mit uns, wenn wir träumen? Lernen wir im Schlaf? Und was hat es mit dem Schlafwandeln auf sich?Kaum etwas beeinflusst unser Leben so sehr wie die Qualität unseres Schlafs. Schlafstörungen scheinen in Zusammenhang mit Diabetes, Bluthochdruck, Schlaganfällen und Demenz zu stehen. Und in unseren sozialen Beziehungen birgt der Schlafplatz eine Menge Zündstoff: Sollten Eltern ihr Bett mit ihrem Säugling teilen? Was tun, wenn der andere schnarcht? Ist eine Ehe zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn die Partner in getrennten Betten schlafen?Der Wissenschaftsjournalist David Randall gewährt uns vielfältige Einblicke in die Forschungsarbeiten, die jene nächtlichen Stunden zu erhellen versuchen. Auf einer Entdeckungsreise, die von Kriegsschauplätzen bis ins Kinderzimmer führt, offenbart Im Reich der Träume, dass Schlafen nicht im Entferntesten so banal ist, wie es uns erscheinen mag, wenn wir abends das Licht ausmachen.
