Knowledge about brain neuroanatomy has played a major role in elucidating the brain mechanisms underlying psychological processes. Nowhere has the role been stronger than in the study of the relation between specific areas of brain damage and changes in perception, memory, and language. This book is about that particular approach to brain and behavior studies--the lesion method--as applied to humans. It reviews advances made with modern neuroimaging methods (such as x-ray computerized tomography and magnetic resonance scanning) and discusses how the new findings are modifying neuropsychological thinking and helping develop new theories about the neural substrates of cognition. The book also describes a method for the analysis of neuroimaging data that helps researchers and clinicians in neuropsychology to use imaging techniques as a source of neuroanatomical data. Included in the book are magnetic resonance (MR) and computerized tomographic (CT) images of exceptional quality. Based on a decade's work by two neuroscientists of worldwide reputation, this unique volume will be of value to neurologists, neuropsychologists, basic neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, neurolinguists and other researchers and clinicians interested in the relation between brain structure and behavior.

The ability to ablate neurologic function by lesioning and to restore this function by transplantation has proved to be a major and productive methodological theme in the neurosciences. The wide-ranging utility of lesioning and transplantation has catalyzed the development of methods which accommodate unique as well as more general approaches.In this volume, techniques are described for the chemical and nonchemical production of lesions and for the development of transplants, implants, and grafts. Several systems are presented for which lesions and transplantation provide useful models for human disease and for studies of physiological and cellular phenomena. Where possible special techniques and preparations of general applicability have been included. Key Features* Convenient bench-top format* Methods presented for easy adaptation to new systems* Comprehensive protocols included for* Production of lesions* Chemical methods: MPP+, excitotoxins, acromelic acid, ibotenic acid, monosodium glutamate, MPTP, endothelin-1* Nonchemical methods: radio frequency, laser, electrolytic, temperature* Reversible methods* Model systems utilizing lesioning techniques: Parkinson's disease, focal ischemia, nociception, cellular events, receptors* Assessment of lesions and transplants* Transplants, implants, and grafts: Shiverer model, reestablishment of circuitries, preparation of tissue

Because of the relatively low incidence of involvement efforts to enhance the diagnosis and management of elbow pathology are not common. Nonetheless, because of a rapidly expanding knowledge base,both with regard to a more - fined understanding of elbow pathology, coupled with exciting and emerging approaches and options for management, it is appropriate and timely to - dress this deficiency in the orthopedic literature. This volume, therefore, was produced in order to provide current and relevant information with content that is drawn from a very well received symposium of the same name as this book and convened in Modena, Italy recently. As with the symposium, the s- cific goals of this text are to provide the most updated concepts in the m- agement of a full spectrum of elbow pathology. The content, therefore, is c- prehensive in nature,but with a focus on emerging options in the management of traumatic conditions as well as reconstructive options for the sequelae of trauma. These topics are covered in detail in the 31 chapters which comprise this text. The focus of each chapter was specifically designed to address the topic in the most timely fashion and with less of an emphasis on the historical context and more focus on current thinking. The references documenting c- tent are intended to be efficient and focused. In addition, the popular and - propriate expectation of the orthopedic community of enhanced explanation of technique are featured in the appropriate chapters.

This book covers all liver tumors and lesions that clinically and radiologically mimic liver tumors. It provides readers with a comprehensive overview of this complex and rapidly evolving field. All aspects of surgical pathology are addressed, supplemented by detailed presentations of the lesions’ cell-biologic and molecular features. In addition, the methods employed for diagnosis and diagnostic algorithms are discussed. It appeals to pathologists and hepatologists and serves as an invaluable aid to diagnosis.The field of liver tumors and tumor-like lesions in adults and children has experienced tremendous advances in recent years. Specifically, the recognition of novel entities, deepened insights into known tumors, and refinement of classifications have necessitated continual updates and reappraisals. In addition, previous understanding of hepatic carcinogenesis and tumor progression has been transformed by the very rapid evolution of our understanding of cell biology, genomics, signaling pathways, cell interactions, and mechanisms of invasion and spread of hepatic tumor cells. These general pathology issues must be combined with surgical pathology if a comprehensive understanding of liver tumor pathology is to be achieved.

This book offers a practical approach to the histologic analysis of a wide range of melanocytic skin lesions, including various nevi and different forms of melanoma, as well as pigmented non-melanocytic lesions. In addition, sentinel node biopsy findings and the use of special ancillary studies are covered in detail. Each chapter presents illustrative cases that document the route to correct diagnosis. An important feature of the book is the clinical-pathologic correlation of challenging melanocytic tumors; accordingly, it will appeal not only to pathologists (general surgical pathologists and dermatopathologists) but also to dermatologists (including dermatopathologists). The book contains some 250 color photos as well as tables and algorithms designed to assist in the diagnosis of difficult cases.

Textbook of Orthopaedic Medicine: Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Lesions v. 1 [Jun 29, 1978] Cyriax, James H.

In this book, now in its sixth edition, Dr. James Cyriax describes a systematic method of clinical examination based on the detailed assessment of function of each of the moving parts. Referred pain can thus readily be traced away from the apparent cause to the tissues actually giving rise to symptoms. As exact an assessment as possible can then be made of the position and nature of the lesion. From mastery of this system a successful course of management can then be devised. This book includes discussion of trauma to soft tissues, pressure on nerves, and the vexing question of referred pain, but the major part of the text is devoted to a systematic description of the moving parts showing in detail how each can be assessed so that accurate diagnosis can be achieved. This book, the Textbook of Orthopaedic Medicine Vol. 1, Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Lesions, is fully illustrated and new pictures have been added to this edition. Some chapters included in the book are: The lumbar region, the treatment of intractable backache, Examination of the shoulder, and other body parts. The text has been fully revised and brought up to date.

Sir Donald was born in Belfast in 1926; his father was a medical doctor, who specialised in public health, and his mother was the daughter of a Tyneside ship builder. During World War I, Sir Donald's father had been involved in dealing with the epidemic of syphilis which was on such a scale that at one point it was thought possible it would stop the fighting due to lack of troops. His precepts were that strict confidentiality and speedy treatment without embarrassment were the keystones to success in dealing with sexually transmitted disease. Sixty years later these precepts became the foundation of the UK's successful challenge to HIV/Aids which, as Chief Medical Officer, Sir Donald directed. Charting his early life, and moving through his career posts in the UK and US and medical research at Oxford, this memoir covers his appointment as CMO of England. With the following advice from a friend to prepare him: 'You'll enjoy this job Donald, there's never a dull moment.but you're going to inevitably lose control of your life, I'm afraid!' The book covers his experiences in Whitehall advising Government on many important issues including those he termed the 'The Seven Plagues of Egypt:' HIV/AIDS, Salmonella, Legionellosis, Listeriosis, Botulism, Small Pox and BSE. This book also describes the author's World Health Organisation work in Bosnia during the Humanitarian Crisis in the former Yugoslavia and his later work in Chechnya.

This book discusses canine and feline skin cytology and the importance of this diagnostic tool in interpreting skin lesions. With more than 600 clinical and cytological color pictures, it explains the cytological patterns observed in all cutaneous inflammatory and neoplastic lesions in cats and dogs, as well as cutaneous metastasis of non-primary skin neoplasms. The first part of the book describes cell morphology and cytological patterns, providing an overview of the normal structure of the skin. In the second chapter, readers learn how to choose the best techniques for different types of lesions. Further chapters present the cytological findings in the main inflammatory and neoplastic skin diseases. By focusing on the macroscopic aspects of the lesions from which the cells are collected, it helps readers to interpret cytological specimens. The final chapter explores the cytology of cutaneous metastasis from internal organs or accessory glands. This book offers veterinary students and practitioners alike an essential diagnostic tool.
