Hardly a week goes by without a news story about brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. General readers who are regularly exposed to information about the brain and brain disorders will appreciate this accessible reference from a medical writer. Containing more than 800 clear, concise entries, the volume also includes three directories (of self-help, professional and governmental organizations), a glossary, and an extensive list of references. An index facilitates access to the wide range of terms that are covered. The first edition, called The Brain Encyclopedia, was published in 1996.

Entries treat Aging and the brain, Brain scans, Circadian rhythm, Down syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, Mapping the brain, Narcolepsy, Postconcussion syndrome, and Slow viruses of the brain, to name just a few topics. The introduction notes that almost every entry has been revised, many with extensive updates. Among the new entries are Ecstasy (MDMA), Mad cow disease, Multiple intelligences, Neurological manifestation of AIDS, Shaken baby syndrome, and entries for each of the four drugs approved to treat Alzheimer's disease. Students interested in the brain and brain disorders will find much of interest here--information on the causes, cures, key research, symptoms, treatments, and trends of each field of study. The Encyclopedia of the Brain and Brain Disorders is useful for brief definitions of terms and ready-reference questions. Lay readers and students will undoubtedly appreciate the jargon-free language. RBB

Development of the Nervous System presents a broad treatment of thebasic principles of neural development as exemplified by keyexperiments and observations from past and recent times. The text isorganized ontogenically, beginning from the induction of the neuralprimordium and leading to the emergence of behavior. It covers all themajor topics that would form the basis of a comprehensive undergraduatecurriculum along the way including the patterning and growth of thenervous system, neuronal determination, axonal navigation andtargeting, neuron survival and death, synapse formation and plasticity.

The new text reflects the complete modernization of the field that hasbeen achieved through the use of model organisms, the intensiveapplication of molecular and genetic approaches, and the introductionof new imaging technologies.
Development of the Nervous System is richly illustrated with colorphotographs and original drawings. These illustrations, combined withclear, concise writing make this a book that is well suited to studentsapproaching this intriguing field for the first time.

* Updates information including all the new developments made in the field since the first edition

Forensic Pathology of Trauma
Publisher:Humana Press | Pages:648 | 2006-10-01 | ISBN: 1588294587 | PDF | 15.3 MB
Forensic Pathology of Trauma provides practical advice to pathologistsabout the conduct and analysis of the forensic autopsy in a case oftrauma. This volume reinforces the systematic manner in which theforensic pathologist must approach all medicolegal trauma deathinvestigations in order to avoid common mistakes that may confuseaccurate interpretation of a case or compromise a medicolegalinvestigation. The authors present a step-wise approach to the entireforensic investigation, from the collation of information about thedeath scene and the background of the deceased, to the external andinternal examination of the body, concluding with tests on theevidentiary material collected postmortem. A value-added CD presentscolor images of the investigative figures in the text.

The introductory chapter covers risk management in the autopsy and isfollowed by a focused examination of postmortem changes, the "greatpretenders" in forensic pathology, and the ways in which they can mimicor obscure trauma. Each of the subsequent eight chapters addressescommon medicolegal "syndromes" or trauma patterns, providingcomprehensive coverage of both common and uncommon causes of each ofthese patterns. Trauma patterns addressed include those associated withasphyxia, thermal injury, bodies recovered from water, penetratingtrauma, blunt trauma, craniocerebral trauma, vertebrospinal trauma, andsudden neurological death.
