Looking Within: How X-Ray, Ct, Mri, Ultrasound, and Other Medical Images Are Created, and How They Help Physicians Save Lives
ISBN: 9780520211827 / Angielski / Miękka / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A hundred years ago, a doctor had no way to look within the body of a patient other than to slice it open. That changed radically at the turn of the century, with the discovery of X-rays. X-ray and other forms of diagnostic imaging technology developed slowly but steadily from then until the 1970s, at which point a revolution occurred. Made possible largely by the availability of powerful but inexpensive computers, the rapid and widespread adoption of computed tomography (CT) and, a decade later, of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) greatly expanded the power of clinical imaging, and even...

Protocols for Infectious Disease in Obstetrics and Gynecology
ISBN: 9780632043248 / Angielski / Miękka / 636 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The contributor list is impressive; each protocol author is a member of Infectious Disease Society for Obstetrics & Gynecology. While there are larger, more comprehensive textbooks on this subject, none utilize this practical, concise format. This book will be an excellent addition to the protocols series.

Kinematic MRI of the Joints: Functional Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Clinical Applications
ISBN: 9780849308079 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kinematic MRI refers to imaging a joint through a range of motion to examine the interactions between the soft tissue and osseous anatomy that comprise the joint. Kinematic MRI techniques were developed because various pathologic conditions are dependent on the specific position of the joint or in response to loading or stress. Importantly, static-view MRI examinations often miss abnormal findings because the joint is not assessed through a range of motion. Accordingly, the functional information obtained using kinematic MRI frequently serves to identify the underlying abnormality or to...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Antibodies
ISBN: 9780896037984 / Angielski / Twarda / 477 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soon after the first description of monoclonal antibodies in 1976, there was enormous interest in the clinical application of antibodies, especially in the context of cancer. Antibodies appeared to offer the "magic bullet" that would allow the specific destruction of neoplastic cells. H- ever, many years' effort resulted in very few cases of successful immu- therapy with antibodies. As a result there was a major backlash against antibody therapy, and the field lost a considerable amount of popularity. Fashion, in science as well as in other things, tends to be cyclical. Antibody-based therapy...
