The Easy Guide to Focused History Taking for OSCEs

The Easy Guide to Focused History Taking for OSCEs

This straightforward guide to taking patient history comprehensively covers all of the commonly seen OSCE scenarios within the current undergraduate medical curriculum. The Easy Guide to Focused History Taking for OSCEs includes introductory chapters with general OSCE guidance mapping onto the Calgary-Cambridge model. These include tips from recently qualified doctors and highly respected physicians and surgeons who commonly examine OSCEs as well as a sample OSCE marking scheme. The book then covers 56 histories based on presenting complaints - more than any other text on the market - thoroughly testing both knowledge and examination technique. Each history is based around the exam requirements with mnemonics ‘red flag’ symptom boxes and list-based breakdowns to aid prompt recall. Common and serious differentials are highlighted as well as investigations to help rule out the serious conditions. Each section concludes by outlining key aspects for each differential diagnosis as well as a list of investigations and management options. With this book every student will be well equipped to tackle any clinical problem in the OSCE examination and also in their continued professional practice.

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

In the Miocene and Pliocene fossil shell beds of the eastern United States the single most spectacular molluscan species radiation is seen in the ecphora shells (the Tribe Ecphorini). These bizarrely shaped gastropods with their distinctive ribbed shell sculpture represent a separate branch of the Subfamily Ocenebridae Family Muricidae. Characteristically these muricid gastropods are heavily ornamented with spiral ribs and cords and are considered some of the most beautiful and interesting groups of fossil mollusks found along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Floridian Peninsula. The ecphoras are greatly sought after by fossil collectors. The ecphora faunas and their individual species and subspecies are illustrated and described in detail along with photographs of ecphora-bearing geological units and in-situ specimens. The authors list the 67 known species and subspecies that are recognized as valid arranged by the eight genera and five subgenera that encompass these taxa. | The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

The explosive growth of bioeconomy and bioscience coupled with an interconnected planet increases the potential impact of large-scale bio-events. Either causing public health threats as in epidemics or posing food security issues from mass poisonings to large-scale starvation such eventualities are direct threats and indirect destabilizers in a planetary context. The issue of Biosecurity thus pervades every affected aspect from exploitations of the agro-sector and the food industry to the Public Health management the novel therapeutic/treatment approaches the new age of space deep-sea and subterranean explorations and the interface with the cyber world and the massive or small-scale projection of violence. It has been present since ancient times tacitly and discreetly but only recently took its present guise the different aspects of which are explored in this book. | Biosecurity in the Making The Threats the Aspects and the Challenge of Readiness

The Microbiome and the Brain

The Microbiome and the Brain

Brain related disorders are among the most challenging health issues of our time. The development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies for these disorders relies on a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causative mechanisms. And until recently these mechanisms have remained somewhat elusive. The newly discovered pivotal role of the intestinal microbiome in brain health functionality and resistance to disease is revolutionizing neuroscience. The Microbiome and the Brain through the contributions of some of the most forward thinking researchers and clinicians in the field comprehensively reveals the leading edge of our understanding of the fundamental role of gut microbes and their metabolites in a wide array of seemingly diverse brain issues including Alzheimer’s disease autism multiple sclerosis and mood disorders. In addition mechanisms defining these relationships are explored along with a presentation of the state-of-the-art as it relates to interpretation of relevant laboratory assessments. Finally novel therapeutic opportunities derived from this exciting science are presented. Readers will learn:The highly validated relationship between alterations of gut microbes and their metabolites and risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The important link between autism and intestinal dysbiosis. Appropriate interpretation of available laboratory assessments of the intestinal microbiome. The potential role of fecal microbial transplant in neurological diseases. The influence of diet and other lifestyle choices on the microbiome as it relates to brain health and functionality.

The Role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing

The Role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing

Providing an essential brainstem relay for three cranial nerves the NST coordinates highly complex sensory information. While other functions of the NST have received attention its role in gustatory processing has received little. The first reference devoted exclusively to gustatory processing The Role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing offers an in-depth review of one of the most important central relay stations in the brain. Combining widely dispersed research into a comprehensive single volume it presents a thorough historical background documents the anatomy of the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (rNST) and explores the properties of synaptic transmitters and neurons within that tract. The book examines the role of reflex activities and considers factors that influence how gustatory rNST neurons respond to taste stimuli. It describes the development and maturational changes the rNST undergoes and considers the challenge involved with identifying rNST neural circuits. The Role of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract in Gustatory Processing brings together expert investigators who have contributed substantially to the current knowledge of the anatomy physiology and developmental biology of the solitary nucleus. This pertinent work serves as a standard reference for those involved in the field providing ready access to past investigations and inviting practitioners to create new approaches that will advance knowledge about the central processing of gustatory information.
