Product Description:

Two important oral health policy concerns in the United States are disparities in the oral disease burden and the inability of certain segments of the population to access oral health care. Both of these challenges are largely due to socioeconomic stratification in US society. As a consequence of the release of the surgeon generala ™s report on oral health, there has been a call to action to improve the oral health of underprivileged groups who have difficulty accessing dental services. But in contrast to the extensive national attention focused on childrena ™s oral health in recent years, Americaa ™s growing elderly population has received relatively little attention and almost no public health or public policy interventions. Population projections for the United States indicate that the elderly will constitute an increasing percentage of the population. In 2001, the population of the United States was almost 278 million, and 12.6% of the population was 65 years of age or older. By 2015, the population is expected to increase to 312 million, and 14.7% of the population will be aged 65 years or older. In 2030, which is within the practice lives of students currently enrolled in dental schools, the population will have increased to more than 350 million, and 20% of the populationa "1 of every 5 members of US societya "will be 65 years of age or older. Further, the elderly population will become increasingly diverse in terms of race/ethnicity, financial resources, and living conditions. There are several compelling reasons for this book. First, oral health is the clearest physical marker of socioeconomic disadvantage in the United States, given longstanding policies oneverything from reimbursement for services to who can perform what procedures. Second, the aging population will require a host of new approaches to service delivery, and oral health is often left out of deliberations. Third, oral health for older adults is an area of health disparities research and practice that remains to be meaningfully addressed. And finally, broad based approaches to population health and well-being argue for a comprehensive understanding of etiology and burden of illness across the life course. It is in later life that the compilation of preventive as well as risk factors are most evident in our mouths.

With the growing global fear of a major pandemic, avian influenza virus research has increased greatly in importance during this young century. In Avian Influenza Virus, an expert team of researchers and diagnosticians examine the fundamental yet essential virological methods for AI virus research and diagnostics as well as some of the newest molecular procedures currently used for basic and applied research. Exciting, cutting-edge new methods focus on studying the virus itself and work with avian hosts, an area greatly lacking in research. Following the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter provides readily reproducible laboratory protocols offering step-by-step instruction and lists of the necessary equipment for the task.

Comprehensive and timely, Avian Influenza Virus equips diagnosticians and researchers with the current tools and information they need to learn more about this high impact disease.

This book starts with a chapter by Dr. Edwin Romijn and Prof. John R. Yates III, who introduce the different analytical strategies developed and successfully utilized to study organelle proteomes, and detail the use of multidimensional liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry for peptide sample analysis. This book is further composed of two main sections. First, detailed protocols are provided to perform the purification of the various organelles present in eukaryotic cells, as well as to prepare certain sub-fractions of organelles (chapters 2-22). In all cases, the samples are aimed to be analyzed by a mass spectrometry technique. While an exhaustive list of chapters covering all the proteomic analyses of organelles and organelle fractions was not conceivable, we nevertheless wanted to provide analysis examples reflecting the trend toward more specific purifications of organelle sub-fractions, which will allow reaching the more comprehensive and accurate characterization of the organelle. Most of the chapters cover the whole analytical procedure of organelle characterization, from its purification starting with whole cells up to protein identification using mass spectrometry. In some cases, the chapter may provide a detailed de@@@@@@ion of the purification process wherein less classical techniques appear which are implemented by a minority of laboratories (e.g. free flow electrophoresis). Second, however optimized the organelle purification protocol and skilled the operator the sample of interest will never consist of the pure targeted organelle. Therefore, among the proteins identified, one has to separate the true from the intruders. The actual sub-cellular localization of some individual proteins newly attributed to the studied organelle can be evaluated by orthogonal assays, such as microscopy, by expressing the GFP-tagged version of the protein candidates. Yet this approach is labor-intensive and is usually restricted to a few selected proteins. We devoted the second section of this book to methods enabling a global estimate of the reliability of the protein list assigned to an organelle. An average ratio of proteins wrongly attributed to the organelle of interest is provided by assessing sample purity (chapter 23). In order to determine whether every identified protein is an actual component of the purified organelle quantitative mass spectrometry methods can be employed (chapters 24-26). In chapter 26, Dr. Wei Yan et al. more specifically demonstrate the utility of quantitative approaches to scrutinize protein shuttling between organelles. The examples presented of quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of organelle fractions use a few commercially available isotope-tagged reagents, but many other chemicals, either commercial or prepared in-house, can be utilized. A larger variety of the existing polypeptide labeling strategies can be found in another volume of this series entitled Quantitative Proteomics, edited by Dr. Salvatore Sechi. Finally, the last chapter of this book, by Dr. Wallace F. Marshall, addresses the use of tran@@@@@@omic data to identify genes potentially encoding organelle proteomes.

Human genome sequencing has identified about 25000 genes, most being of unknown function. Localization of the final gene products, i.e. the proteins, in a specific organelle is a key to decipher the proteins roles within the cell. Over the past twenty years, proteomic analyses have progressively proved to be an invaluable tool to obtain high-throughput protein identification from low-abundance, complex biological samples. These analyses boomed thanks to dramatic technological progresses in mass spectrometry instrumentation, optimization of its coupling to capillary liquid chromatography and the development of software enabling processing of the vast amount of generated data. In the context of organelle study, such analyses have allowed greater depth in the characterization of the proteins constitutive of, or transiently present in, these large functional modules.

Product Dimensions: 9.8 x 7.6 x 0.9 inches Book Description :On average people spend one third of their life sleeping. An understanding of the physiology and pathophysiological changes that take place during this time is, therefore, essential to the medical care of patients. Sleep disorders can arise from a variety of causes including respiratory, psychiatric and neurological conditions, as well as pain and lifestyle changes. Consequently, their understanding is pertinent to a wide range of clinicians who require an overview of their diagnosis and treatment.
Written by one of the UK's leading authorities on sleep medicine, Sleep Medicine: A Guide to Sleep and its Disorders presents a practical guide to the clinical problems related to sleep disorders. An experienced author, John Shneerson writes concisely and presents the information in a most accessible way. The text is clearly organised and full use has been made of tables and line diagrams. Whilst the body of the text is clinical in approach, the scientific basis of sleep and sleep medicine and the technical aspects of sleep investigations are explained fully.
The book is divided into three sections. The first group of chapters considers the fundamentals of sleep, the effects of drugs on sleep and how to assess sleep complaints. The main body of the book consists of chapters on individual sleep disorders. Each of these has a structured approach, outlining both assessment and treatment. Insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, awareness during sleep and behavioural abnormalities are covered. The final chapters deal with the important respiratory consequences of upper airway dysfunction, changes in the control of breathing during sleep and the social implications of sleep problems.Sleep medicine is a fast developing discipline which interfaces with many of the medical specialties. Sleep Medicine: A Guide to Sleep and its Disorders enables doctors and other health professionals to access recent advances ensuring that their patients receive the optimum treatment for their sleep disorders.

Description:All cultures everywhere have attempted to change their body in an attempt to meet their cultural standards of beauty, as well as their religious and or social obligations. In addition, people modify and adorn their bodies as part of the complex process of creating and re-creating their personal and social identities. Body painting has probably been practiced since the Paleolithic as archaeological evidence indicates, and the earliest human evidence of tattooing goes back to the Neolithic with mummies found in Europe, Central Asia, the Andes and the Middle East. Adornments such as jewelry have been found in the earliest human graves and bodies unearthed from five thousand years ago show signs of intentional head shaping. It is clear that adorning and modifying the body is a central human practice. Over 200 entries address the major adornments and modifications, their historical and cross-cultural locations, and the major cultural groups and places in which body modification has been central to social and cultural practices. This encyclopedia also includes background information on the some of the central figures involved in creating and popularizing tattooing, piercing, and other body modifications in the modern world. Finally, the book addresses some of the major theoretical issues surrounding the temporary and permanent modification of the body, the laws and customs regarding the marking of the body, and the social movements that have influenced or embraced body modification, and those which have been affected by it. Entries include, acupuncture, amputation, Auschwitz, P.T. Barnum, the Bible, body dysmorphic disorder, body piercing, branding, breast augmentation and reduction, Betty Broadbent, castration, Christianity, cross dressers, Dances Sacred and Profane, Egypt, female genital mutilation, foot binding, freak shows, genetic engineering, The Great Omi, Greco-Roman world, henna, infibulation, legislation & regulation, lip plates, medical tattooing, Meso-America, military tattoos, National Tattoo Association, nose piercing, obesity, permanent makeup, primitivism, prison tattooing, punk, rites of passage, scalpelling, silicone injections, Stalking Cat, suspensions, tanning, tattoo reality shows, tattooing, Thailand, transgender, tribalism.

MedicineThere are many books on alternative medicine, but not many can be considered quick reference guides. This encyclopedia has 400 entries covering terms, organizations, and personalities related to the field.Entries vary in length from one-sentence definitions to multipage essays. The shorter entries can be frustrating, and some of the longer ones, less than complete. One example is the entry Bates Method for improving eyesight. There is a brief explanation of the relaxation system and of Bates' credentials but no description of the exercises. Some entries on individuals give little or no information about their relevance to the field of alternative or complementary medicine.On the other hand, the Yoga article provides in-depth coverage of the discipline, giving a brief history, the basic principles involved, and descriptions of the 26 branches of yoga. Another article that would have benefited from the same treatment is ayurveda. A description is given, but there are no cross-references to related entries (Chakra, Doshas) that provide additional details. The lack of illustrations is limiting; even line drawings of things like acupuncture pressure points would have added value to the book. The appendixes include a list of professional and lay organizations, a list of herbs used in herbal treatments, and a time line of alternative and complementary medical history.Free Medical eBooks link :Download

Product Description:

Today, for patients of any age, a "panoramic" radiograph that allows high diagnostic reliability with minimum radiation exposure must be acknowledged as the standard of care. The new, more medically and legally "responsible" strategy for examination of patients is closely intertwined with a basic principle of patient care. Panoramic radiograph is rapidly becoming a meaningful and normal component of dental practice-oriented "prevention". This Atlas presents the proper use of optimum radiographic exposure and contemporary techniques for today's dental office. Emphasis is placed on the reliable recognition of normal structures in the projected space and clear differentiation of normal features from pathological radiographic signs. These major topics of fundamental importance for correct interpretation are treated more extensively. The section on diagnosis deals in depth with the typical radiographic manifestations of frequently occurring pathological processes. Inherent in that section of the book is the basic understanding that the radiopathologic manifestation of one and the same lesion may vary considerably depending on the patient's age and sex, on the phase of development of the lesion at the time of documentation, on the localization within different surrounding structures, and according to actual histologic features of the lesion.

Features of Homeopathy Pro

Can you find the needed repertory rubric in a blink without even knowing it's there? Or, view all remedy symptoms without searching through dozens of Materia Medica volumes? Or, have all case history at your fingertips in a single convenient case file?

You surely can, now that you have a copy of Homeopathy Pro.

The software we are offering is a universal information center for a classical homeopath, homeopathic student or even a layman who helps his friends and family to overcome acute conditions. The key thing about Homeopathy Pro is its focus on the patient and symptoms of the case, the totality that leads you to successful prescription.

Our mission is to provide you with a professional, inhouse, all-in-one solution. Homeopathy Pro can boast of unique case management system, classical symptom-rubric arrangement, innovative appearance of repertorization table and infinite tweaking abilities. Feeling unsure about your current case? Just take it with the help of Homeopathy Pro and see whether you end up with something astonishingly correct.

With our program, you can instantly change the number of rubrics included into repertorization, play with the weight of small rubrics, perform sophisticated repertory search and find the necessary Materia Medica article in a mouse click.

Homeopathy Pro offers you two types of repertorization techniques:

Boenninghausen's method. 125 remedies proved and described by Hahnemann. 3000 general rubrics that can be combined into an infinite number of symptoms. Use this approach to make a purely classical homeopathic prescription.

Kent's method. 650 remedies including the small ones introduced by this great homeopathic artist. 68000 symptoms that cover all aspects of human body and mind. Use it to find rare, peculiar and uncommon symptoms for an artistic prescription advocated by Kent and his followers.

For your convenience, we equipped the program with Materia Medica by Boger and Boericke; the former goes well with Boenninghausen's repertory while the latter is ideal for Kent's. What's more, both these repertories can be turned into Materia Medica with a click of the mouse, giving you the most detailed set of symptoms available from classical authors.

And, last but not least: we are providing our users with fastest and most professional free lifetime support. Should you have a problem with the program or just want to clear up a function or technique, we're here to help.

Now, feel free to browse our site to find any information you might be interested in. We suggest that you should begin with our Help Center that will give a detailed explanation on what can be done with the help of Homeopathy Pro.

RADAR set the standard for homeopathy software, and now the best is even better. The arrival of RADAR 9 brings major new features and a host of streamlined advances that take homeoapthic software to a new level of excellence!

New Repertories

The foundation of RADAR 9 is the new Synthesis 9 database. It's one of 20 new repertory databases you can access with the program - along with the highly respected Complete Millennium and Complete Universale. And now you have the ability to search through all Repertories simultaneously.

This means, for the first time ever you can combine vital information from Synthesis and The Complete. Already homeopaths who have been testing the beta versions in their practice are reporting increased success through using these two repertories together - solving cases that they weren't able to before.

Outstanding Usability

With RADAR 9, you can now find synonymous or related rubrics directly from the repertorization chart. In fact, the whole program has gone through a dramatic usability enhancement.

Operations that required several screens in previous versions are now available to you from just one place, with a single click. You can even get immediate tool tip help with a simple touch of your mouse.

ReviewPraise for 2E: "This book...represents a thorough and well-written presentation of the strategies, processes, and interactions necessary for the effective clinical interview...highly recommended..." (Albert B. Hood, University of Iowa for APA Review of Books) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Review"The fourth edition of this classic by John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan is simply a triumph! This book has both extraordinary depth and breadth. The authors do an exceptional job of describing mundane--but critical--details of learning to interview while still capturing and articulating the essential "big picture" aspects of contemporary clinical interviewing. The book has it all: theory, research, case material, and the essential "how to's", all presented in an accessible and lively format. It is hard to imagine a better book for beginning clinicians."—David A. Jobes, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor of Psychology, Co-Director of Clinical Training, Catholic University of America, Washington, DC "Thorough, thoughtful, and well-written, John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan do an outstanding job demonstrating the scientist-practitioner model in action. The text provides excellent coverage of the basic skills involved in clinical interviewing, and the material is brought to life through an engaging literary style, numerous case examples, and informative and amusing anecdotes. The authors also confront important ethical issues pertaining to clinical interviewing, such as informed consent, confidentiality and its limits, and documentation according to HIPAA standards. The review of the literature is current, summarizing many contemporary issues and controversies, such as revisions to be included in DSM-V."—James C. Overholser, Ph.D., ABPP; Professor of Psychology, Director of Clinical Training, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH; Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy "It is a delight to see the 4th Edition of the Sommers-Flanagan's excellent work. They understand counseling and therapy, their writing is clear, and this book will be enjoyed by students and faculty alike."—Allen E. Ivey, Ed.D., ABPP; Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; President, Microtraining Associates, Inc.

Total Reviews: 2 Book Description: Hutchison's Clinical Methods, first published over a century ago, is the classic textbook on clinical examination. It provides an outstanding source of learning and reference for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors. It seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigations are grafted onto established patterns of clinical practice, rather than added on as something extra. The text is organised so that both system-related and problem-oriented chapters are included. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, the essential skills needed for clinical examination, and for planning the appropriate choice of investigations in diagnosis and management.CHM FormatTOC in TriPane, Full size images embeded, Removal of links in HTMLRAR 1x100 + 1x65 MB

by Ettore Crimi, Louis J. Ignarro, Francesco Cacciatore& Claudio NapoliClinical consequences of heart failure are fatigue, dyspnea, and progressive impairment of exercise tolerance. Regular exercise training is associated with health-improving effects. In patients with stable heart failure, exercise training can relieve symptoms, improve exercise capacity and quality of life, as well as reduce hospitalization and, to some extent, risk of mortality. Progressive exercise training is associated with pulmonary, cardiovascular, and skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations that increase oxygen delivery and energy production. This Review focuses on current knowledge of mechanisms by which progressive and moderate exercise training can have sustained beneficial effects on patients with heart failure.????: Study Temple-All kinds of Study Material Mechanisms by which exercise training benefits patients with heart failure by Ettore Crimi, Louis J.

Vol 17 No 5 - may 2009The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons was established in the fall of 1993 by the Academy in response to its membership’s demand for a clinical review journal. Two issues were published the first year, followed by six issues yearly from 1994 through 2004. In September 2005, JAAOS began publishing monthly issues.Each issue includes richly illustrated peer-reviewed articles focused on clinical diagnosis and management. Special features in each issue provide commentary on developments in pharmacotherapeutics, materials and techniques, and computer applications.The Journal's mission is dissemination of knowledge to improve the care of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The Editorial Board selects articles that critically evaluate and synthesize current information on the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions and document the current state of orthopaedic practice. Because JAAOS is a review journal, certain types of material (eg, original research, case studies, animal studies, or duplicative material) are not appropriate for publication.JAAOS is published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the world’s largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists. JAAOS is provided to all members of the Academy as a benefit of membership. The Journal is also provided to residents in specified orthopaedic and osteopathic programs.

This study identifies postsynaptic netrin G-ligand 3 (NGL-3) as the trans-synaptic adhesion ligand of LAR and demonstrates a bidirectional regulation of excitatory synapse formation by the LAR/NGL-3 interaction.Abstract - Full Text - Trans-synaptic adhesion between NGL-3 and LAR regulates the formation of excitatory synapses PDF (1,413 KB) - Trans-synaptic adhesion between NGL-3 and LAR regulates the formation of excitatory synapses Supplementary informationAltered chloride homeostasis removes synaptic inhibitory constraint of the stress axis - pp438 - 443Sarah A Hewitt, Jaclyn I Wamsteeker, Ebba U Kurz & Jaideep S Bainsdoi:10.1038/nn.2274The release of stress hormone from the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is regulated by nearby GABAergic input. This study shows that behavioral stress affects chloride ion homeostasis and thus tapers GABAergic inhibition, thereby suggesting disinhibition of the PVN as a mechanism for stress response initiation.Abstract - Full Text - Altered chloride homeostasis removes synaptic inhibitory constraint of the stress axis PDF (415 KB) - Altered chloride homeostasis removes synaptic inhibitory constraint of the stress axis Supplementary informationTuning of synapse number, structure and function in the cochlea - pp444 - 453Alexander C Meyer, Thomas Frank, Darina Khimich, Gerhard Hoch, Dietmar Riedel, Nikolai M Chapochnikov, Yury M Yarin, Benjamin Harke, Stefan W Hell, Alexander Egner & Tobias Moserdoi:10.1038/nn.2293In the cochlea, ribbon synapses are used to transmit acoustic information from inner hair cells to spiral ganglion cells. Here the authors find that the properties of these synapses vary along the tonotopic axis, providing a candidate presynaptic mechanism for modulating the dynamics of ganglion cell spiking.Abstract - Full Text - Tuning of synapse number, structure and function in the cochlea PDF (1,090 KB) - Tuning of synapse number, structure and function in the cochlea Supplementary informationPhosphodiesterase 1C is dispensable for rapid response termination of olfactory sensory neurons - pp454 - 462Katherine D Cygnar & Haiqing Zhaodoi:10.1038/nn.2289Phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity in olfactory sensory neuron cilia is thought to be responsible for degrading odor-induced signaling, resulting in rapid response termination. However, disrupting the variety of PDE found only in cilia unexpectedly turns out not to result in a rapid response termination deficit. Only eliminating both cilia-localized and cell body–localized varieties of PDEs resulted in prolonged termination.Abstract - Full Text - Phosphodiesterase 1C is dispensable for rapid response termination of olfactory sensory neurons PDF (558 KB) - Phosphodiesterase 1C is dispensable for rapid response termination of olfactory sensory neurons Supplementary informationTraveling waves in developing cerebellar cortex mediated by asymmetrical Purkinje cell connectivity - pp463 - 473Alanna J Watt, Hermann Cuntz, Masahiro Mori, Zoltan Nusser, P Jesper Sjöström & Michael Häusserdoi:10.1038/nn.2285The authors use patch-clamp recordings and two-photon microscopy to characterize monosynaptic connections between Purkinje cells of the juvenile cerebellum. They then construct a network model that generates traveling waves of activity between connected Purkinje cells and validate their model with observations in juvenile cerebellar cortex.Abstract - Full Text - Traveling waves in developing cerebellar cortex mediated by asymmetrical Purkinje cell connectivity PDF (3,006 KB) - Traveling waves in developing cerebellar cortex mediated by asymmetrical Purkinje cell connectivity Supplementary informationTransformation of odor representations in target areas of the olfactory bulb - pp474 - 482Emre Yaksi, Francisca von Saint Paul, Jörn Niessing, Sebastian T Bundschuh & Rainer W Friedrichdoi:10.1038/nn.2288The organization of the olfactory bulb has been extensively studied, but much less is known about downstream areas. The authors compare activity patterns in the zebrafish olfactory bulb and two of its targets. They find that the subpallial area has overlapping odor representations, whereas those in the area homologous to the olfactory bulb are more sharply tuned.Abstract - Full Text - Transformation of odor representations in target areas of the olfactory bulb PDF (932 KB) - Transformation of odor representations in target areas of the olfactory bulb Supplementary informationGating multiple signals through detailed balance of excitation and inhibition in spiking networks - pp483 - 491Tim P Vogels & L F Abbottdoi:10.1038/nn.2276The balance of excitation and inhibition across large populations of spiking neurons has been suggested to be important.

Hierarchical cognitive control deficits following damage to the human frontal lobe - pp515 - 522David Badre, Joshua Hoffman, Jeffrey W Cooney & Mark D'Espositodoi:10.1038/nn.2277The frontal lobes are critical for cognitive control over both abstract actions and motor plans. On the basis of the behavioral deficits of lesions patients, the authors report that there is a hierarchical organization of cognitive control, with rostral areas being required for decisions about more abstract actions and caudal areas being required for decisions about more concrete actions.
