Although pitch has been considered an important area of auditory research since the birth of modern acoustics in the 19th century, some of the most significant developments in our understanding of this phenomenon have occurred comparatively recently. In auditory physiology, researchers are now identifying cells in the brainstem and cortex that may be involved in the derivation of pitch. In auditory psychophysics, dramatic developments over the last few years have changed our understanding of temporal pitch mechanisms, and of the roles of resolved and unresolved harmonics.

Paroxysmale Storungen stellen Neurologen, aber auch Internisten, Psychiater und HNO-Arzte haufig vor ein differenzialdiagnostisches Problem. Man denke nur an die Diagnose -Schwindel- -- eine der haufigsten Beschwerden in der Medizin. Anfallsartige Storungen werden oft verkannt, weil die Kunst der Anamnese in der heutigen Medizin an Bedeutung verloren hat. Technische Zusatzverfahren konnen aber erst bei gezielter Fragestellung sinnvoll eingesetzt und interpretiert werden.

Hier finden Sie das gesamte Spektrum anfallsartig...

Bad breath is a common and embarrassing problem that everyone worries about, yet most health professionals still know little about its origins, diagnosis, and treatment. Over the past fifteen years, investigators have studied how bad breath is caused, where the odors originate, and which bacteria and gases are involved. Novel in vitro systems and measurement techniques have been proposed, and clinical studies conducted to compare new and traditional treatments. This illustrated text presents, for the first time, a comprehensive and cohesive science-based approach to bad breath, combining...

Panoramic radiology systems are currently being used in more practices than at other any time in the past.

This book is applicable to all panoramic dental images and equipment. It approaches panoramic radiology usage in the context of general and specialty applications.

Head and neck pathology is increasingly becoming an attractive field for the new generations of pathologists, fully aware that in the era of specialization the information contained in the treatise of general surgical pathology, although extremely valuable to create the basis of their knowledge, does not provide in its full picture the specific knowledge required to meet current diagnostic and prognostic requirements. The book Pathology of the Head and Neck presents in a single volume the most pertinent and updated information needed by the interested readers. Its contents have been...
