Pathological Potential of Neuroglia
by Vladimir Parpura Alexei VerkhratskyPathophysiological states, neurological and psychiatric diseases are almost universally considered from the neurocentric point of view, with neurons being the principal cellular element of pathological process. The brain homeostasis, which lies at the fulcrum of healthy brain function, the compromise of which invariably results in dysfunction/disease, however, is entirely controlled by neuroglia. It is becoming clear that neuroglial cells are involved in various aspects of initiation, progression and resolution of neuropathology. In this book we aim to integrate the body of information that has accumulated in recent years revealing the active role of glia in such pathophysiological processes. Understanding roles of glial cells in pathology will provide new targets for medical intervention and aide the development of much needed therapeutics. This book will be particularly useful for researchers, students, physicians and psychotherapists working in the field of neurobiology, neurology and psychiatry.
Pathological Realities: Essays on Disease, Experiments, and History (Forms of Living)
by Mirko GrmekMirko D. Grmek (1924-2000) is one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine, and has long been considered a pioneer of the field. The singular trajectory that took Grmek from Yugoslavia to the academic culture of post-war France placed him at the crossroads of different intellectual trends and made him an influential figure during the second half of the twentieth century. Yet, scholars have rarely attempted to articulate his distinctive vision of the history of science and medicine with all its tensions, contradictions, and ambiguities. This volume brings together and publishes for the first time in English a range of Grmek’s writings, providing a portrait of his entire career as a historian of science and an engaged intellectual figure. Pathological Realities pieces together Grmek’s scholarship that reveals the interconnections of diseases, societies, and medical theories.Straddling the sciences and the humanities, Grmek crafted significant new concepts and methods to engage with contemporary social problems such as wars, genocides and pandemics. Uniting some major strands of his published work that are still dispersed or simply unknown, this volume covers the deep epistemological changes in historical conceptions of disease as well as major advances within the life sciences and their historiography. Opening with a classic essay – “Preliminaries for a Historical Study of Diseases,” this volume introduces Grmek’s notions of “pathocenosis” and “emerging infections,” illustrating them with historical and contemporary cases. Pathological Realities also showcases Grmek’s pioneering approach to the history of science and medicine using laboratory notebooks as well as his original work on biological thought and the role of ideologies and myths in the history of science. The essays assembled here reveal Grmek’s significant influence and continued relevance for current research in the history of medicine and biology, medical humanities, science studies, and the philosophy of science.
Pathological Voice Analysis
by David Zhang Kebin WuWhile voice is widely used in speech recognition and speaker identification, its application in biomedical fields is much less common. This book systematically introduces the authors’ research on voice analysis for biomedical applications, particularly pathological voice analysis. Firstly, it reviews the field to highlight the biomedical value of voice. It then offers a comprehensive overview of the workflow and aspects of pathological voice analysis, including voice acquisition systems, voice pitch estimation methods, glottal closure instant detection, feature extraction and learning, and the multi-audio fusion approaches. Lastly, it discusses the experimental results that have shown the superiority of these techniques. This book is useful to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students working in fields such as speech signal processing, pattern recognition, and biomedical engineering. It is also a valuable resource for those involved in interdisciplinary research.

Pathologie en geneeskunde voor fysiotherapie, bewegingstherapie en ergotherapie
by J. H. VrijenhoekPathologie en geneeskunde voor fysiotherapie, bewegingstherapie en ergotherapie is het eerste leerboek dat uitgaat van het medisch onderwijs aan studenten van fysiotherapie- en andere paramedische opleidingen. In tegenstelling tot andere boeken besteedt dit boek speciale aandacht aan de typische invalshoeken van de paramedische beroepen. Daar waar anatomie, fysiologie en/of biochemie falen, is een gedegen kennis van de pathologie van groot belang voor een juist begrip van klinische ziektebeelden. Dit boek vormt de optimale basis voor elke paramedicus. Het boek bestaat uit twee delen: het eerste deel beschrijft de algemene pathologie en geneeskunde, waar ook gekeken wordt naar de oorzaken en processen die het gehele lichaam kunnen betreffen. Het tweede deel, de speciële pathologie en geneeskunde, beschrijft de ziekteprocessen in de verschillende organen. Daarnaast komen hart- en vaatziekten, longproblematiek, aandoeningen van het bewegingsapparaat, huidziekten en niet-medisch ziekmakende factoren uitgebreid aan bod. In deze zesde druk zijn de terminologie en de lijst van infectieziekten met meldingsplicht geactualiseerd. Daarnaast zijn een aantal medisch specialistische onderzoeken en de oorzaken bij de diverse aandoeningen toegevoegd. Tenslotte is het hoofdstuk over dermatologie fors uitgebreid. Elk hoofdstuk wordt afgesloten met toetsvragen (inclusief antwoorden) om kennis en inzicht in de behandelde stof te toetsen. Dit maakt het boek Pathologie en geneeskunde voor fysiotherapie, bewegingstherapie en ergotherapie ideaal als leerboek. Ook is het boek door de overzichtelijke ordening van de inhoud ook zeer geschikt als naslagwerk.
Pathologie nicht-neoplastischer Lungenerkrankungen: Praxishandbuch
by Sven Perner Florian Stellmacher Sabina Berezowska Danny D. JonigkDas Praxisbuch für die tägliche Diagnostik am MikroskopNeben den klinischen und radiologischen Untersuchungen kommt der histopathologischen Untersuchung von Lungengewebeproben eine entscheidungsrelevante Bedeutung zu. In diagnostisch schwierigen oder zweifelhaften Fällen kann durch die histologische Begutachtung betroffener Lungenareale eine Diagnosesicherung erzielt und therapeutisch relevante Differentialdiagnosen ausgeschlossen werden. Die Diagnostik nicht-neoplastischer Lungenerkrankungen ist oft eine große Herausforderung für den diagnostizierenden Pathologen. Unter den knappen Zeitressourcen aber auch angesichts der stetig zunehmenden Anzahl neu definierter bzw. weiter verfeinerter Entitäten, ist es kaum möglich, den Überblick zu behalten oder gar sämtliche wesentlichen Kriterien zur Diagnosestellung aus der Erinnerung abzurufen. Dieses Buch bietet eine kurze, übersichtliche Darstellung der einzelnen Krankheitsentitäten und der diagnostischen Kriterien für die Untersuchung von Lungengewebeproben. Es begleitet den Pathologen bei der täglichen Arbeit am Mikroskop und erläutert kurz und knapp, welche diagnostischen Kriterien im konkreten Fall greifen und welche Differentialdiagnosen zu beachten sind. Die Autoren legen Wert auf eine standardisierte und übersichtliche Darstellung der einzelnen Krankheitsentitäten. Fallstricken, die zunächst die Diagnose in die falsche Richtung lenken können, werden aufgezeigt. Algorithmen erlauben dem Leser, gezielt den korrekten diagnostischen Pfad einzuschlagen und zügig zur richtigen Diagnose zu finden. Ein einmaliges Praxishandbuch für die tägliche Diagnostik des Pathologen.
Pathologie: Hämatologie, Inkl. Lymphknoten, Milz, Thymus (Pathologie Ser.)
by Hans H. Kreipe Hans Konrad Müller-HermelinkDer vorliegende Band „Knochenmark, Lymphatisches System, Milz, Thymus“ ist mehr als 30 Jahre nach Erscheinen der 1. Auflage inhaltlich und strukturell völlig neu gestaltet worden.

Eine Betonung erfährt auch die Darstellung organübergreifender gemeinsamer ätiologischer Faktoren, z.B. der Infektionen. Schließlich werden beim Thymus auch alle epithelialen Tumoren und nichtlymphatischen Erkrankungen diskutiert. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Pathologen und Kliniker mit dem Versuch, die diagnostischen Grundlagen eines zielgerichteten therapeutischen Vorgehens für die reale Situation des Einzelpatienten zu definieren. Die Herausgeber hoffen, dass der vorliegende Band diesem Anspruch gerecht wird.
Pathologies of Calcium Channels
by Norbert Weiss Alexandra KoschakCalcium ions represent Mother Nature's 'ion-of-choice' for regulating fundamental physiological functions, as they initiate a new life at the time of fertilization and guide subsequent developmental and physiological functions of the human body. Calcium channels, which act as gated pathways for the movement of calcium ions across the membranes, play a central part in the initiation of calcium signals, and defects in calcium channel function have been found to result in a plethora of human diseases, referred to as the calcium channelopathies. Pathologies of Calcium Channels brings together leading international experts to discuss our current understanding of human diseases associated with the various calcium channels, from their molecular basis to potential future therapeutic targeting of calcium channels.
Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor
by Paul FarmerPathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life--and death--in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world's poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violence. Farmer challenges conventional thinking within human rights circles and exposes the relationships between political and economic injustice, on one hand, and the suffering and illness of the powerless, on the other. Farmer shows that the same social forces that give rise to epidemic diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis also sculpt risk for human rights violations. He illustrates the ways that racism and gender inequality in the United States are embodied as disease and death. Yet this book is far from a hopeless inventory of abuse. Farmer's disturbing examples are linked to a guarded optimism that new medical and social technologies will develop in tandem with a more informed sense of social justice. Otherwise, he concludes, we will be guilty of managing social inequality rather than addressing structural violence. Farmer's urgent plea to think about human rights in the context of global public health and to consider critical issues of quality and access for the world's poor should be of fundamental concern to a world characterized by the bizarre proximity of surfeit and suffering.
Pathologisation, Depathologisation and Mental Health: Keys for a Contemporary Discussion from Ibero-America
by Raudelio Machin SuarezThis book examines the pathologisation and depathologisation of mental health in Ibero-América. It highlights the possibilities and the epistemic limits of the interpretative models of pathos that have legitimised mental health pathologies. Further, it proposes a rereading of psychopathology and analyses the clinical, philosophical, ontological, ethical, psychological and anthropological consequences of this. Across ten chapters it brings together academics from Latin America with colleagues from Europe, Asia and North America to address issues including stigma, aesthetics, childhood, gender, migration, political public or social networks and their relationship with mental health. Section 1 brings critical psychology into dialogue with psychiatry, sociology, philosophy and psychoanalysis to review the conceptual frameworks through which "pathology" has been understood in "psy" discourses. Section 2 presents a range of case studies that demonstrate the impact of debates around the pathologisation and de-pathologisation on mental health care in various populations across Latin American. It will offer fresh insights to practitioners, as well as to students and scholars working in the areas of mental health, critical psychology, medical sociology, Latin American studies, psychiatry and psychoanalysis.

Pathologist of the Mind: Adolf Meyer and the Origins of American Psychiatry
by S. D. LambIlluminating the contributions of Adolf Meyer, the pioneering father of modern American psychiatry.Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRLDuring the first half of the twentieth century, Adolf Meyer was the most authoritative and influential psychiatrist in the United States. In 1908, when the Johns Hopkins Hospital established the first American university clinic devoted to psychiatry—still a nascent medical specialty at the time—Meyer was selected to oversee the enterprise. The Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic opened in 1913, and Meyer served as psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins until 1941. In Pathologist of the Mind, S. D. Lamb explores how Meyer used his powerful position to establish psychiatry as a clinical science that operated like the other specialties at the country’s foremost medical school and research hospital. In addition to successfully arguing for a scientific and biological approach to mental illness, Meyer held extraordinary sway over state policies regarding the certification of psychiatrists. He also trained hundreds of specialists who ultimately occupied leadership positions and made significant contributions in psychiatry, neurology, experimental psychology, social work, and public health. Although historians have long recognized Meyer’s authority, his concepts and methods have never before received a systematic historical analysis. Pathologist of the Mind aims to rediscover Meyerian psychiatry by eavesdropping on Meyer’s informal and intimate conversations with patients and colleagues. Weaving together private correspondence and uniquely detailed case histories, Lamb examines Meyer’s efforts to institute a clinical science of psychiatry in the United States—one that harmonized the expectations of scientific medicine with his concept of the person as a biological organism and mental illness as an adaptive failure. The first historian ever granted access to these exceptional medical records, Lamb offers a compelling new perspective on the integral but misunderstood legacy of Adolf Meyer.

Pathology and Epidemiology of Cancer
by Massimo Loda Lorelei A. Mucci Megan L. Mittelstadt Mieke Van Hemelrijck Maura Bríd CotterThis book integrates the disciplines of cancer pathology and epidemiology to provide a synergistic and complementary approach to understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer. This book provides relevant information on the diagnostic, prognostic and predictive molecular pathology of cancer. Epidemiological studies, including descriptive epidemiology, risk factors and molecular mechanisms of disease inform on the etiology and progression of cancer. The text concentrates on major cancers that are currently prevalent and those for which substantial molecular, pathological and epidemiological data is available. Each section is designed to provide an overview of that cancer type in terms of basic biology, review the current epidemiological data surrounding that cancer type and provide information on common practices and challenges related to the molecular pathology of that cancer type. Several relevant techniques in molecular pathology, which facilitate diagnosis and treatment are also explored. Pathology and Epidemiology of Cancer provides a succinct and comprehensive overview of multiple cancer types to guide clinicians during patient care and to guide scientists for innovations in research. It represents an integral resource for pathologists, epidemiologists, medical students as well as translational, basic and clinical science researchers who are all working to progress the field of cancer in terms of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Pathology and Visual Culture: The Scientific Artworks of Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot and the Salpêtrière School
by Natasha Ruiz-GómezIn this book, Natasha Ruiz-Gómez delves into an extraordinary collection of pathological drawings, photographs, sculptures, and casts created by neurologists at Paris’s Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in the nineteenth century. Led by Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893) and known collectively as the Salpêtrière School, these savants-artistes produced works that demonstrated an engagement with contemporary artistic discourses and the history of art, even as the artists/clinicians professed their dedication to absolute objectivity.During his lifetime, Charcot became internationally famous for his studies of hysteria and hypnosis, establishing himself as a pioneer in modern neurology. However, this book brings to light the often-overlooked contributions of other clinicians, such as Dr. Paul Richer, who created “scientific artworks” that merged scientific objectivity with artistic intervention. Challenging conventional interpretations of visual media in medicine, Ruiz-Gómez analyzes how these images and objects documented symptoms and neuropathology while defying disciplinary categorization.Grounded in extensive archival research, Pathology and Visual Culture targets an international audience of historians and students of art, visual culture, medicine, and the medical humanities. It will also captivate neurologists and anyone interested in fin-de-siècle French history and culture.
