In recent years, methods for coupling active implants to the middle ear, round window or combinations of passive middle ear prostheses have progressed considerably. Patient selection criteria have expanded from purely sensorineural hearing losses to conductive and mixed hearing losses in difficult-to-treat ears. This book takes into consideration recently developed methods as well as devices in current use. It begins with a fascinating and authentic history of active middle ear implants, written by one of the main pioneers in the field. In the following chapters, leading scientists and clinicians discuss the relevant topics in otology and audiology. Treatments for sensorineural hearing loss, conductive and mixed hearing losses, and results on alternative coupling sites such as the stapes footplate and the oval window are also covered, as well as articles on candidacy and cost-effectiveness. This publication is a must for ENT professionals and surgeons seeking out the latest knowledge on current research and clinical applications of active middle ear implants for all types of hearing loss.

Atlas of Practical Applications of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Product Description
Drs. Glen Furuta and Dan Atkins have assembled an in-depth look at Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases as related to allergy with topics such as “Basic pathogenetic mechanisms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis”, “Nutritional management of patients with food allergies and EGIDs”, “Chemotactic factors role in EGIDs”, “Biomarkers associated with allergic diseases”, “Association of other allergic diseases with EGIDs” and much more!

Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases, An Issue of Immunology and Allergy Clinics

Product Description
An Asiatic patient complains of “elevated fire in the body”. A Micronesian woman explains that she is “possessed by sea ghosts”. A Latin man screams, striking his body violently with his fists upon hearing of his wife’s death. Manifestations of severe psychiatric disorder … or culture-bound expressions of more psychological issues? Culture is now acknowledged as an important consideration in diagnosis – in fact, this has been recognized formally in the DSM-IV. As technology and migration bring peoples into closer proximity to each other than ever before, the ability to reconcile imagery and behavior with cultural conceptualization becomes essential. And while this has led to an expansion of the literature, other sources do not offer the essential focus on assessment that Culture and Psychopathology does. The contributors to this authoritative volume address the complex and fascinating subject of psychological assessment across cultures. Chapters focus on issues including depression, anxiety, pain, psychoses, violent behavior, personality disorders and much more. The process of assessment is seen as an interactive dynamic between the patient and clinician. How this dynamic plays out – what lies at the cultural crossroads between presentation and assessment – is an increasingly important component of effective intervention. Culture and Psychopathology provides a stimulating look a this key theme of contemporary practice.

Davis’s Manual of Critical Care Therapeutics

Product Description
This book presents the science of microbiology in a clinical context that is relevant to the safe and effective practice of dental surgery. Microbiology is a rapidly moving discipline. Since the First Edition, a number of infectious diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and SARS have emerged as significant clinical problems. There have also been changes in the epidemiology of certain infections, for example sexually transmitted diseases. These issues are all covered in this new edition. The book has been updated throughout, and changes to antimicrobial drug prescribing regimens have been included. Major new chapters include those on fungi, human herpes viruses, infections of the central nervous system, and use of antimicrobial agents in dentistry. The chapters dealing with sterilisation, disinfection and infection control procedures in dentistry have been completely re-written, to reflect recent significant changes in decontamination protocols which have been stimulated by the problem of prion diseases.
This book will serve as a core reference text for use throughout all years of the undergraduate dental curriculum, as a refresher course for postgraduate students, and as a continuing source of reference for dentists in clinical practice.

Essentials of Microbiology for Dental Students

Product Description
While most other books on dental materials are written from the dentist’s perspective (i.e., material type related to conditions), this volume is written from the Dental Assistant’s perspective and focuses on dental materials in relation to procedures.
