Histology of the Post-traumatic Bone Repair in Rats
ISBN: 9783838305646 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. General problems of histology, histomorphogenesis and remodelling of bone have been discussed for a century and half, but have not yet been solved. Although bone histology studies have yielded a great deal of new information on the bone fracture repair, up to now there is no suitable histological model for a qualitative and quantitative complex investigation of post-traumatic bone reparation on the same morphological material in situ in the norm as well as after influence of various external factors. The aim of the present experimental study described in this book was the...

health problem around the world. In response to progress in emergency medical systems, research has shifted its focus from defining outcome primarily as "survival rates," to defining outcome in the context of "real world functioning." These include an increased interest in assessing learning and memory skills, comprehension, problem solving ability, communication patterns, personal care, social behaviors, and other basic activities that are...

Speed and Amplitude of Movement in Patients with Parkinson's disease
ISBN: 9783838301945 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Slowness of movement ("bradykinesia") is the most important deficit in Parkinsons disease (PD). Current clinical rating of bradykinesia in PD does not separate the dimensions of slowness and amplitude reduction. We categorized patterns of movement in PD patients on a biaxial classification of speed and amplitude using an electromagnetic tracking device (Polhemus) seeking to determine whether these categories may differentially contribute to motor impairment and disability. Motor impairment was worst in patients with very impaired amplitude and best in patients with normal ...

Immunohematology and Blood Bank
ISBN: 9783838380902 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The blood of each person seemed to carry in it the secrets of individuality. If each persons blood were as individual as this, transfusion would indeed be complex and would deserve to rank as the most refined branch of medicine. However, this early view of the subtlety of transfusion was eclipsed at the beginning of the century by the discovery that the blood of all human beings could be divided into four groups. It seemed that, provided blood of the same group was transfused, one persons blood was indistinguishable from anothers. Indeed, it came to be believed that people who belonged to the...

Cd38 as a Prognostic Factor in B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia
ISBN: 9783838364087 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia follows an extremely variable clinical course with overall survival times ranging from months to decades, so there is a need to identify markers that may help to refine outcome prediction for these individuals. One of the most important molecular genetics parameters defining pathogenic and prognostic subgroups of Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is the mutation status of the IgVH genes. CD38 expression has demonstrated a highly predictive prognostic value and can be used as a convenient and accurate predictor of IgVH gene mutational status. However, because IgVH...

Preattentive Visual Search
ISBN: 9783838339153 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Several clinical conditions cause increased pre- attentive visual search (PAVS) times, implying reduced parallel search capabilities in DLB dementia and Parkinsons disease. This book describes the effect of a number of variables on PAVS performance including optical blur, age, retinal eccentricity and perceptual learning, and critically establishes that the test remains viable in the presence of such potentially confounding variables. importantly, it also describes the efficiency of PAVS in cases of established glaucoma; glaucoma suspects and age- matched normals, determines the...

An Assessment of Severity of Pain in the Emergency Department
ISBN: 9783838360799 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pain is one of the most common presenting complaint in the Emergency Department. Pain assessment is of prime importance because it helps to determine the appropriate type of analgesia to administer and the urgency of the pain relief needed. Do we need to ask patients specifically about their pain scores, or does our observational scoring suffice? The objective of this study was to determine the inter-rater differences in pain scores between patients and emergency health-care providers. Pain scores upon discharge or prior to ward admission were also determined. A prospective study was...

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination
ISBN: 9783838301815 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The invention of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) represented a radical break with forms of examination traditionally used to assess the competence of medical students. Unlike written or bed-side exams, an OSCE required students to perform with a series of actors in fixed-interval simulated scenarios. The technique spread rapidly and today OSCEs are used around the globe to assess health professionals. This Foucauldian socio-history explores how discourses of performance, psychometrics and production have legitimized the widespread adoption of OSCEs. Probing an archive of...

One of the important problems in pregnancy is urinary tract infection, as neglecting the treatment of urinary tract infection can result in health and economic problems. Changes in sex hormones and anatomic and physiologic changes lead to increased risk of bladder and kidney infection in pregnancy. Very little academic literature exists on the prevention aspect of urinary tract infections as safety of various agents during pregnancy has not been well studied, and hence hesitation to use any of these for the purpose of prophylaxis...

A situation analysis of Retinopathy of Prematurity in South Africa
ISBN: 9783838367934 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in children in middle-income countries. In 1995, it accounted for 10.6% of blindness in children in schools for the blind in South Africa. This study was undertaken to estimate the number of premature babies at risk and to investigate policies, practices and screening programmes. 13000 to 15000 surviving premature babies are at risk of ROP each year. Shortage of equipment precluded continuous oxygen monitoring in public units. Nursing levels were often below recommendations, and most nurses were unaware of target oxygen...
