An Illustrated Guide to Congenital Heart Disease: From Diagnosis to Treatment – From Fetus to Adult
by In Sook ParkThis book combines an exceptional wealth of precise, exquisite schematic drawings and high-quality images with clear explanatory text in order to provide readers with a crisp and clear understanding of all aspects of congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment and from the fetus to the adult. In format the book appears similar to a large collection of case reports covering all types of congenital heart disease, including complex lesions such as single ventricle and atrial isomerism. For each lesion, the illustrations are placed before the text so that the reader can gain a quick and general overview before going into more detail. The contents are as practical and concise as possible. The intention is that, despite its size, the book will serve as a handy reference for cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, obstetricians specializing in fetal sonography, nurses, trainees, students, researchers, and even patients and their families. This is a “must-have” bedside reference in the cardiac ward, the ICU, and the fetal sonography room and will even be valuable in outpatient clinics.

Illustrated Manual of Orthognathic Surgery: Osteotomies of the Mandible
by Peter Kessler Nicolas Hardt Kensuke YamauchiThis first volume in a multi-volume series considers the gains in information and knowledge that have resulted from preoperative and postoperative 3D imaging using new radiologic protocols in maxillofacial surgery, with the corresponding consequences for the surgeon. It contrasts the established standard techniques of orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery with new considerations and insights based on years of experience and analysis of clinical activity in this subspecialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery.The book is deliberately structured so that the clinical situation is juxtaposed with a graphic representation for better understanding, which is intended to point out special situations that can in turn positively influence the surgical planning and execution of the procedure in order to avoid undesirable results in individual cases. Graphic representations illustrate the three-dimensionality of the complex splitting technique of the mandible where text or radiographs are insufficient.A corresponding book that combines clinical anatomical situations with pre- and postoperative preparation and clear explanation does not yet exist. It is aimed at a wide readership of students and professionals in oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, plastic and craniofacial surgery, and otolaryngology.

Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery
by Herbert ChenWith the large number of surgical atlases in the market focusing on a variety of surgical procedures, it is almost impossible to find an area that is not comprehensively illustrated. However, almost all of these atlases are very large and serve to be 'library reference' books, which are commonly displayed in the office and utilized in that manner. There is no atlas which is easily transportable, yet one would imagine that every medical student and resident would potentially want a copy of such a title to carry on them at all times. The book aims to cover all facets of general surgery and each chapter has five to ten photographs illustrating the basic anatomical context, as well as the various techniques specific to the operation. Each chapter author provides a brief narrative describing what is going on during the operation, and also outlines common pitfalls and personal suggestions.
Im Fokus: Dem Bauplan des Lebens auf der Spur
by Dieter Lohmann Nadja PodbregarWelche Macht haben unsere Gene? Sind sie die schicksalhafte Blaupause, die bestimmt, wie intelligent, wie alt oder wie schön wir sind? Lange Zeit war dies die gängige Lehrmeinung. Doch das Dogma ihrer monolithischen Allmacht ist heute längst gefallen. Immer häufiger stoßen Forscher auf Hinweise, wie unser Leben den Genen "ins Handwerk" pfuscht und wie eng die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Erbgut, Stoffwechsel und Umwelt manchmal sind. Die moderne Biotechnologie eröffnet neue Wege der Forschung, wirft aber auch ethische und gesellschaftliche Fragen auf. Dieses Buch erklärt unter anderem, warum bei den Genen die Verpackung manchmal wichtiger ist als der Inhalt, was Viren in unserem Erbgut verloren haben und weshalb es "das Methusalem-Gen" nicht gibt.

Sie entdeckten neue, überraschende Zusammenhänge und Wechselwirkungen, die auch unser Bild von uns selbst ständig verändern. Dieses Buch nimmt Leser mit auf eine Erkundungsreise zu faszinierenden und rätselhaften Phänomenen unseres Denkens, Fühlens und Bewusstseins.
