Kindertraumachirurgie
by R.M.H. Wijnen L.P.H. Leenen P. Kloen M. Heeg J. C. Goslings M.J.R. Edwards J.H.J.M. Bessems A. T. Besselaar W.L.M. KramerHet hoort bij de ontwikkeling van kinderen van iedere leeftijd. In hun spel en dynamiek proberen ze altijd hun grenzen uit. Een ongeluk zit dan in een klein hoekje. Kleine of juist zeer ernstige letsels kunnen op ieder moment optreden, op elke leeftijd, van klein tot groot. Juist dat maakt kinderen uniek: zó zijn ze doodziek en zó zijn ze weer springlevend. Zó huilen ze en zó lachen ze.Deze kenmerken bepalen bij kinderen sterk de presentatie van de klachten en de verschijnselen na letsel . Daarom vergt het behandelen van kinderen specifieke kennis en ervaring. Het is voor de behandelaar essentieel deze dynamiek te onderkennen en het kind weer vrolijk en speels aan het lachen te krijgen.Kinderen zijn fantastisch, ze verdienen optimale traumazorg en preventie. In het boek Kindertraumachirurgie vindt de behandelaar specifiek de noodzakelijke kennis. Onze missie is: ‘Laat kinderen met letsels zo optimaal mogelijk behandeld worden, door kennis en kunnen over de kindertraumatologie door Nederlandse specialisten naar internationale maatstaven weer te geven’.In zestig hoofdstukken wordt door meer dan honderd specialisten een gedetailleerd en actueel overzicht gegeven over de preventie, diagnostiek en behandeling van ongevalsletsels bij kinderen.Dit boek is bestemd voor iedereen die met kinderongevallen te maken heeft: chirurgen, orthopedisch chirurgen, traumatologen, kinderartsen, intensivisten, (kinder)neurologen, revalidatieartsen, (kinder)fysiotherapeuten, SEH-artsen, huisartsen, verpleegkundigen en andere (kinder)specialisten.

Kinesins and Cancer
by Frank KozielskiThis interdisciplinary volume collates research work on kinesins and cancer. Authors attempt to validate members of the kinesin superfamily as potential targets for drug development in cancer chemotherapy. The work begins by highlighting the importance of kinesins, summarising current knowledge and how they are shown to be crucial for mitosis. Chapters go on to explore how this family of proteins are emerging as a novel target for chemotherapeutic intervention and drug development. Readers will learn how kinesins travel along microtubules to fulfill their many roles in intracellular transport or cell division. Several compounds that inhibit two mitotic kinesins (called Eg5 and CENP-E) have entered Phase I and II clinical trials and are explored in these chapters. Additional mitotic kinesins are currently being validated as drug targets, raising the possibility that the repertoire of kinesin-based drug targets may expand in the future. The book is suitable as a reference standard for the field of kinesins and cancer. It will interest those in academia and pharmaceutical companies, and anyone with an interest in the medical relevance of these proteins, which cutting edge methodologies are now enabling us to understand in astonishing detail.

Kinetic Anatomy (Third Edition)
by Robert BehnkeCreated primarily for those who will work in physical activity fields, the third edition of Kinetic Anatomy continues to building on its previous editions to assert itself as the ideal resource for learning structural anatomy and how it affects movement. The text gives students a firm concept of musculoskeletal anatomy by systematically assembling each component of the human body. Layer by layer, readers will study bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles on the bones, as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply these muscles that are essential for movement. Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, includes coverage of three major structures that are not often considered when studying the anatomy of movement: the brain, heart, and lungs. As the centerpieces for the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, these structures are essential to human movement and are highlighted throughout the text where appropriate. In addition, other fundamental features make this resource a valuable tool for learning and teaching human anatomy: - A one-year subscription to Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review, an online anatomy program, provides an interactive forum for reviewing regional structural anatomy. - A new chapter on the head completes the regional approach followed in the text. - More information on muscle and motor units helps broaden information on movement potential in selected sport activities. - Expanded discussion on joint strength and movement and the function of muscles (agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and synergists), levers, and exercise supports understanding of how the human body is constructed. - Full-color photos and illustrations enhance the learning experience. - New Functional Movement Exercises provide students with the opportunity for practical application of their studies by asking them to identify the prime mover, antagonist, fixator, and synergist muscle in a particular movement. - Hands On exercises throughout the book offer students practice in physically identifying anatomical structures on themselves or on a partner. Included with each new text is a key code allowing students one-year access to the online anatomy program Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review. This engaging supplement to the text offers a regional review of structural anatomy with exceptionally detailed, high-quality graphic images--the majority provided by Primal Pictures. Students can mouse over muscles and click for muscle identification, and each chapter features a pretest and posttest evaluation to help students pinpoint knowledge gaps and test their retention. The pretest can be taken multiple times and is generated randomly so it will never be the same, but the posttest may be taken only once. Test results can be printed and turned in so instructors have the option to use the tests as a grading tool. To further facilitate learning, each chapter in the book concludes with a review of the key terms referred to in the chapter, suggested learning activities, and review questions in multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats. The answers to the questions are provided at the end of the book. For instructors, a new image bank accompanies the updated instructor guide and test package to aid in delivering the course content. Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is an outstanding introductory resource for those who plan to specialize in any field related to physical activity. Readers will learn what structures are involved in movement and how those structures should function, allowing them to identify problems and correct them to enhance physical activity.

The queen&’s spymasters—hardened veterans of a long war on terror and religious extremism—fear that James is not what he appears. He has every reason to claim to be a Protestant, but if he secretly shares his family&’s Catholicism, then forty years of religious war will have been for nothing, and a bloodbath will ensue.

A Kingdom of Tender Colors: A Memoir of Comedy, Survival, and Love
by Seth GreenlandA young Hollywood screenwriter faces lymphatic cancer in this witty memoir.One unremarkable day at the age of thirty-seven, Seth Greenland finds himself in everyone’s nightmare: a routine doctor visit, some swollen glands, a series of tests, a biopsy, and finally a diagnosis of an aggressive form of lymphatic cancer. A screenwriter and satirist with a blooming career in Hollywood, Seth has felt pretty good about his life until now; suddenly, the world has tipped on its axis.With the support of friends and family, Seth launches into an attempt to save his own life without losing either his sanity or his sense of humor. From chemotherapy treatments, to meditation and more alternative treatments, he battles the disease with wit, honesty, and no small amount of sheer terror. There are no pat answers or inspirational revelations here, just one man confronting hopes and fears recognizable to us all—and triumphing.Praise for A Kingdom of Tender Colors“Intelligent, self-aware, and resistant to easy answers, A Kingdom of Tender Colors defies any expectation of being a cancer survival guide. Instead, more radically, it is a book about finding a way of being. It is existential in the way of Camus’s The Stranger, without the murder and with more jokes.” —Tom Teicholz, Los Angeles Review of Books“[Greenland] provides genial, engaging, humorous company throughout the narrative, showing how one can gain a new appreciation for life at its most mundane as well as miraculous.” —Kirkus Reviews“Absorbing and funny . . . Readers may come for the screenwriter/novelist’s cancer story, but they’ll stay for his gifts as a raconteur.” —Shelf Awareness“A Kingdom of Tender Colors brings a charming humor to a subject that is nothing if not dire. . . . Greenland holds nothing back, including his feelings of inadequacy and incredulity.” —Alta Journal
