Medical Imaging Technology
by Mark A HaidekkerBiomedical imaging is a relatively young discipline that started with Conrad Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray in 1895. X-ray imaging was rapidly adopted in hospitals around the world. However, it was the advent of computerized data and image processing that made revolutionary new imaging modalities possible. Today, cross-sections and three-dimensional reconstructions of the organs inside the human body is possible with unprecedented speed, detail and quality. This book provides an introduction into the principles of image formation of key medical imaging modalities: X-ray projection imaging, x-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, and radionuclide imaging. Recent developments in optical imaging are also covered. For each imaging modality, the introduction into the physical principles and sources of contrast is provided, followed by the methods of image formation, engineering aspects of the imaging devices, and a discussion of strengths and limitations of the modality. With this book, the reader gains a broad foundation of understanding and knowledge how today's medical imaging devices operate. In addition, the chapters in this book can serve as an entry point for the in-depth study of individual modalities by providing the essential basics of each modality in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner. As such, this book is equally attractive as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate biomedical imaging classes and as a reference and self-study guide for more specialized in-depth studies.

Medical Microbiology
by Patrick R. Murray Ken S. Rosenthal Michael A. PfallerThis book is written in a straightforward manner with, it is hoped, uncomplicated explanations of difficult concepts. Details are summarized in tabular format rather than in lengthy text, and there are colorful illustrations for the visual learner. Clinical Cases provide the relevance that puts reality into the basic science. Important points are emphasized in boxes to aid students, especially in their review; and the study questions, including Clinical Cases, address relevant aspects of each chapter. Each section begins with a chapter that summarizes microbial diseases, and this also provides review material. The authors used their experience also as teachers to choose the most important information and explanations for inclusion in this textbook. Each chapter has been carefully updated and expanded to include new, medically relevant discoveries. In each of these chapters, the authors have attempted to present the material that will help the student gain a clear understanding of the significance of the individual microbes and their diseases.

Medical Muses: Hysteria in Nineteenth-Century Paris
by Asti HustvedtA fascinating study of three young female hysterics who shaped our early notions of psychology. Blanche, Augustine, and Genevieve found themselves in the hysteria ward of the Salpetriere Hospital in 1870s Paris, where their care was directed by the prominent neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. They became medical celebrities: every week, eager crowds arrived at the hospital to observe their symptoms; they were photographed, sculpted, painted, and transformed into characters in novels. The remarkable story of their lives as patients in the clinic is a strange amalgam of intimate details and public exposure, science and religion, medicine and the occult, hypnotism, love, and theater. But who were Blanche, Augustine, and Genevieve? What role did they play in their own peculiar form of stardom? And what exactly were they suffering from? Hysteria--with its dramatic seizures, hallucinations, and reenactments of past traumas--may be an illness of the past, but the notions of femininity that lie behind it offer insights into disorders of the present.

Medical Parasitology: A Body System Approach
by Khaled ElShewyThis book offers a concise and clear overview of medically important parasites. It sets itself apart from traditional parasitology systematic books by adopting an integrated modular system, which is currently being introduced in many countries. Parasites are categorized based on the body systems they infect. To avoid repetition, parasites with multisystem effects are grouped under the system they primarily infect, and they are cross-referenced in other relevant sections. The book thoroughly covers the various stages of a parasite's life cycle, modes of transmission, epidemiology, and diagnosis of parasitic diseases. To foster a better understanding of the connections between basic and clinical subjects, the text emphasizes the pathogenesis and subsequent clinical presentation of commonly encountered parasitic infections in humans. Moreover, the text includes current information on the ever-changing field of anti-parasitic treatment, serving as a valuable resource for practitioners. Each section is accompanied by endnotes that highlight key points, and review questions are provided to facilitate comprehension and review. The book's original drawings, tables, and colored diagrams are designed to simplify the understanding of pathogenesis and structural morphology. For those seeking additional details, structural morphology and dosages of anti-parasitic drugs are presented. The language is straightforward, making the book suitable for medical students and physicians alike, enabling them to approach more simplified literature with confidence.
