The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

This book summarizes the lifetime work of Dr K. Mohan Iyer and is based on his research done at the University of Liverpool UK where he devised a modified posterior approach to the hip joint and has been following it from 1981 till today. The book discusses the anterior approach to the hip on a standard operating table using a leg holder with a combined spinal anesthetic and general anesthetic. It studies total hip replacement as a day-case as an evolution in total hip replacement and presents the principles of anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty including discussions on the choice of patients superficial and deep dissection and dedicated surgical instruments. It provides extensive details on the direct anterior approach (DAA) and shows how the DAA to the hip can be carried out on a plain table which can be useful in countries in Asia such as India without the use of special operating tables and dedicated surgical instruments for the same. The book is helpful for the upcoming postgraduates in orthopedics anywhere in the world to be well versed in DAA to the hip joint. | The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

Molecules That Amaze Us

Molecules That Amaze Us

This new book is by two knowledgeable and expert popularizers of chemistry and deals exclusively with molecules and compounds rather than with the simpler atoms and elements. It is based on the very successful �Molecule of the Month� website that was begun by Paul May fifteen years ago and to which his co-author Simon Cotton has been a frequent contributor. � The authors � strike an excellent balance between introducing the novice to the world of molecules while also keeping the expert chemist interested. � I highly recommend this book to all readers. It will vastly expand your knowledge and horizons of chemistry and the human ingenuity that surrounds it. �From the Foreword by Dr. Eric Scerri UCLA Los Angeles website: www. ericscerri. com Author of �The Periodic Table Its Story and Its Significance� and several other books on the elements and the periodic table. The world is composed of molecules. Some are synthetic while many others are products of nature. Molecules That Amaze Us presents the stories behind many of the most famous and infamous molecules that make up our modern world. Examples include the molecule responsible for the spicy heat in chilies (capsaicin) the world�s first synthetic painkiller (aspirin) the pigment responsible for the color of autumn leaves (carotene) the explosive in dynamite (nitroglycerine) the antimalarial drug (quinine) the drug known as speed (methamphetamine) and many others. Other molecules discussed include caffeine adrenaline cholesterol cocaine digitalis dopamine glucose insulin methane nicotine oxytocin penicillin carbon dioxide limonene and testosterone. In all the book includes 67 sections each describing a different molecule what it does how it is made and why it is so interesting. Written by experts in the field the book is accessible and easy to read. It includes amusing anecdotes

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

By studying the emergence development structure and pattern the two-volume set seeks to reconstruct the ancient rhyme Chinese tables based on extant materials and findings. A rhyme table is a tabulated tool constituted by phonological properties which helps indicate the pronunciation of sinograms or Chinese characters marking an accurate and systematic account of the Chinese phonological system. The first volume discusses its formation and evolution and analyzes the structure and arrangement patterns of rhyme tables in detail. The author gives insights into principles for some irregular cases (menfa rules) and the nature of “division” (deng) a method of classifying and differentiating speech sounds vital to the reconstruction of Middle Chinese. The second volume first explores the relationship and identifies the prototype of the extant rhyme tables and then presents the reconstructed rhyme tables with detailed annotations and add-on indexes. The book will appeal to scholars and students studying Sinology Chinese linguistics and especially Chinese phonology. | The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition

NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition

Keeping mathematics to a minimum this book introduces nuclear properties nuclear screening chemical shift spin-spin coupling and relaxation. It is one of the few books that provides the student with the physical background to NMR spectroscopy from the point of view of the whole of the periodic table rather than concentrating on the narrow applications of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Aids to structure determination such as decoupling the nuclear Overhauser effect INEPT DEPT and special editing and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy are discussed in detail with examples including the complete assignment of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of D-amygdain. The authors examine the requirements of a modern spectrometer and the effects of pulses and discuss the effects of dynamic processes as a function of temperature or pressure on NMR spectra. The book concludes with chapters on some of the applications of NMR spectroscopy to medical and non-medical imaging techniques and solid state chemistry of both I = F1/2 and I > F1/2 nuclei. Examples and problems mainly from the recent inorganic/organometallic chemistry literature support the text throughout. Brief answers to all the problems are provided in the text with full answers at the end of the book. | NMR and Chemistry An introduction to modern NMR spectroscopy Fourth Edition

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.
