Victor Horsley: The World's First Neurosurgeon and His Conscience
by Michael J. AminoffSir Victor Horsley (1857–1916) was a pioneer who shaped the development of neurosurgery and the direction of clinical medicine through his work with the British Medical Association, Medical Defence Union, and General Medical Council. Before the nervous system could be imaged, Horsley operated successfully on the brain and spinal cord, and performed palliative procedures on patients dying from brain tumours. Nevertheless, he became a social pariah due to his support for nationalised health insurance, child welfare and women's rights, amongst other causes. In this fascinating biography, leading neurologist Dr Michael J. Aminoff places Horsley's life and work in the context of the society in which he lived and explores his influence on the development of neurosurgery and social policies still in effect. The many underlying themes to the book include the interplay of science and politics, and the responsibility of physicians to themselves and for the welfare of society.
Victor McKusick and the History of Medical Genetics
by Clair A. Francomano Krishna R. DronamrajuThis book is being planned as a tribute to Dr. Victor A. McKusick (1921-2008), who is well known as the "father of medical genetics". He was long associated with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, first as a student in the 1940s, and later as a faculty member, becoming the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He was a co-founder of GENOMICS and founder and lifelong editor of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, a massive compendium of human syndromes and genetic variants. Dr. McKusick made distinguished contributions to all branches of medical genetics. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and many other academies in the world. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2002. He received many other honors including several honorary doctorates. The proposed book will reflect all the fields touched upon by Dr. McKusick's contributions. It will be a valuable source of the latest progress in medical genetics. The contributors are internationally distinguished in their chosen specialties. Besides professional distinction, they are being selected because of their past association with Dr. McKusick, as former students or colleagues who extended his research in some fashion.

A Victorian Guide to Healthy Living
by Dr. Thomas AllinsonThe Victorian Dr. Thomas Allinson founded the famous Allinson bread firm in 1892 and wrote five volumes of medical essays outlining his beliefs that food was an important factor in health. His sage advice was an anathema to his Victorian peers and he was struck off in an age where medicines were made of mercury and arsenic. His outrageous beliefs included exercise being good for health, the need for a work-life balance for better efficiency and health, avoiding tea and coffee in the evening to promote better sleep and obesity being caused by eating too much. These misguided beliefs are so relevant to todays market and written in a wonderfully anachronistic but accessible manner. Best-selling author and food and health expert Anna Selby has edited his five books into one volume, incorporating chapters such as vegetarianism, exercise and the work-life balance, as well as a chapter containing some of his quirkier beliefs.

Victorian Skin: Surface, Self, History
by Pamela K. GilbertIn Victorian Skin, Pamela K. Gilbert uses literary, philosophical, medical, and scientific discourses about skin to trace the development of a broader discussion of what it meant to be human in the nineteenth century. Where is subjectivity located? How do we communicate with and understand each other's feelings? How does our surface, which contains us and presents us to others, function and what does it signify? As Gilbert shows, for Victorians, the skin was a text to be read. Nineteenth-century scientific and philosophical perspectives had reconfigured the purpose and meaning of this organ as more than a wrapping and instead a membrane integral to the generation of the self. Victorian writers embraced this complex perspective on skin even as sanitary writings focused on the surface of the body as a dangerous point of contact between self and others. Drawing on novels and stories by Dickens, Collins, Hardy, and Wilde, among others, along with their French contemporaries and precursors among the eighteenth-century Scottish thinkers and German idealists, Gilbert examines the understandings and representations of skin in four categories: as a surface for the sensing and expressive self; as a permeable boundary; as an alienable substance; and as the site of inherent and inscribed properties. At the same time, Gilbert connects the ways in which Victorians "read" skin to the way in which Victorian readers (and subsequent literary critics) read works of literature and historical events (especially the French Revolution.) From blushing and flaying to scarring and tattooing, Victorian Skin tracks the fraught relationship between ourselves and our skin.
The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming: And Other Lessons I Learned from Breast Cancer
by Jennie NashBreast cancer made Jennie Nash a wise old woman at the age of thirty-six. She learned, among other things, that her instincts are good, her kids are really resilient, and that, in the fight against breast cancer, the journey for patients, family, and friends can be a surprisingly positive, life-changing experience. Some five years younger than the AMA-recommended age for mammograms, Jennie Nash insisted she be tested, not because of a lump but because of a hunch brought on by a friend's battle with lung cancer. Jennie was as shocked to discover as her friend had been that cancer knows no age limits. From detection and surgery to reconstruction and recovery, Jennie gives readers a road map for a journey no one chooses to take. She details both the large and small lessons learned along the way: the importance of a child's birthday cake; the pleasure of wearing a beautiful, provocative red dress; how to be grateful rather than guilty when someone brings lasagne to the door; and that sometimes the only difference between getting to live and having to die is luck. A celebration of survival, Jennie Nash's account transforms one of life's most harrowing experiences into a story of reassurance and enlightenment.

Video Bioinformatics
by Bir Bhanu Prue TalbotThe advances of live cell video imaging and high-throughput technologies for functional and chemical genomics provide unprecedented opportunities to understand how biological processes work in subcellular and multicellular systems. The interdisciplinary research field of Video Bioinformatics is defined by Bir Bhanu as the automated processing, analysis, understanding, data mining, visualization, query-based retrieval/storage of biological spatiotemporal events/data and knowledge extracted from dynamic images and microscopic videos. Video bioinformatics attempts to provide a deeper understanding of continuous and dynamic life processes. Genome sequences alone lack spatial and temporal information, and video imaging of specific molecules and their spatiotemporal interactions, using a range of imaging methods, are essential to understand how genomes create cells, how cells constitute organisms, and how errant cells cause disease. The book examines interdisciplinary research issues and challenges with examples that deal with organismal dynamics, intercellular and tissue dynamics, intracellular dynamics, protein movement, cell signaling and software and databases for video bioinformatics. Topics and Features * Covers a set of biological problems, their significance, live-imaging experiments, theory and computational methods, quantifiable experimental results and discussion of results. * Provides automated methods for analyzing mild traumatic brain injury over time, identifying injury dynamics after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia and visualizing cortical tissue changes during seizure activity as examples of organismal dynamics * Describes techniques for quantifying the dynamics of human embryonic stem cells with examples of cell detection/segmentation, spreading and other dynamic behaviors which are important for characterizing stem cell health * Examines and quantifies dynamic processes in plant and fungal systems such as cell trafficking, growth of pollen tubes in model systems such as Neurospora Crassa and Arabidopsis * Discusses the dynamics of intracellular molecules for DNA repair and the regulation of cofilin transport using video analysis * Discusses software, system and database aspects of video bioinformatics by providing examples of 5D cell tracking by FARSIGHT open source toolkit, a survey on available databases and software, biological processes for non-verbal communications and identification and retrieval of moth images This unique text will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Toxicology, Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Medical Image Analysis, and Cell Molecular and Developmental Biology. The large number of example applications will also appeal to application scientists and engineers. Dr. Bir Bhanu is Distinguished Professor of Electrical & C omputer Engineering, Interim Chair of the Department of Bioengineering, Cooperative Professor of Computer Science & Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering and the Director of the Center for Research in Intelligent Systems, at the University of California, Riverside, California, USA. Dr. Prue Talbot is Professor of Cell Biology & Neuroscience and Director of the Stem Cell Center and Core at the University of California Riverside, California, USA.

The View from the Vue
by Larry Karp"We called it THE VUE, and without a doubt, that was the most complimentary nickname Bellevue Hospital ever had. " So begins The View from the Vue, an "entertaining, colorful recall" (Publishers Weekly) of life a half-century ago at New York City's medical court of last resort. Between 1959 and 1965, Dr. Larry Karp served as medical student, intern, and resident physician at Bellevue. During these six years, he came to know and understand the people who wended their way through the dingy hallways and roach-infested subterranean passages, and inhabited the sparsely furnished wards of the fabulous hospital whose origins date back to 1811. It's not surprising that Dr. Karp has never been able to forget The Vue. Writing in a style both human and humorous, he recalls some of the astonishingly funny and dramatic events he lived through, involving bizarre patients and grotesque working conditions. In the process, he gives us a clear picture of what it was like at Bellevue in the early sixties . . . for both doctors and patients.
Vigor: Neuroeconomics of Movement Control
by Reza Shadmehr Alaa A. AhmedAn examination of the link between the vigor with which we move and the value that the brain assigns to the goal of the movement.Why do we reflexively run toward people we love, but only walk toward others? In Vigor, Reza Shadmehr and Alaa Ahmed examine the link between how the brain assigns value to things and how it controls our movements. They find that brain regions thought to be principally involved in decision making also affect movement vigor--and that brain regions thought to be principally responsible for movement also bias patterns of decision making.
