TRP Channels in Sensory Transduction 1st ed

November 7, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=331918704X]

TRP channels play a key role in sensory physiology and have been the focus of intensive investigation in recent years. This book is a comprehensive, detailed overview of the ways in which TRP channels are involved in a wide variety of sensory modalities. Authors explore the involvement of TRP channels in phototransduction (sight), chemotransduction (taste and odor), mechanotransduction (touch and hearing), thermotransduction (the sensation of temperature), and pain perception. Furthermore, the book includes some grounding chapters such as one on the history of TRP channel research, one on the biophysical characteristics of the proteins, and one on trafficking and post-translational regulation.

About the Author

Juan Bacigalupo, born in Santiago, Chile, did his undergraduate in Biology at the Universidad de Chile, after which he obtained a position in the same university. He was trained in electrophysiology and biophysics in the renowned Laboratory of Montemar, Chile. He moved to Brandeis University (USA) for his doctoral studies. In this work he pioneered the patch clamp studies of single-channel currents in sensory receptor cells, working on Limulus photoreceptors. He then returned to Chile, focusing his research on the molecular and cellular bases of several modalities of sensory transduction as well as other aspects of sensory physiology and biophysics. He uses a variety of multidisciplinary tools, of which recording unitary transduction channel currents directly from sensory cilia and microvilli has been particularly successful in exploring the physiology of these highly specialized organelles, and represents a seal of his laboratory. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a Presidential Chair in Science (Chile) and is President of the Chilean Society for Neuroscience.

Rodolfo Madrid was born in Santiago, Chile. He did his PhD thesis with Juan Bacigalupo at the Universidad de Chile, where he was trained in electrophysiology, biophysics and sensory physiology. After a post-doctorate at the University of Washington, he moved to the Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante. He contributed to unveil the role of the thermoTRP channel TRPM8 and Kv1 potas

Organizing Patient Safety: Failsafe Fantasies and Pragmatic Practices (Health, Technology and Society)

November 5, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=113753785X]

This book examines the organizational consequences of the recent international preoccupation with managing patient safety in the clinic. Built on presuppositions about failsafe system-design, risk elimination, and human fallibility, the patient safety programme introduces new problems and safety threats in clinical practice by devaluing practical forms of reasoning and the trained safety dispositions of clinicians.

Developing a pragmatic and more situated stance on patient safety, Pedersen offers an alternative vocabulary that refocuses attention towards the importance of conduct, habits and experience-based learning in delivering safe care. This innovative book will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners of organization and risk studies, health, science and technology studies and the wider social and medical sciences.

Medical Management of Psychotropic Side Effects 1st ed

November 5, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=331951024X]

This book is a practical guide for psychiatrists to use when treating patients for medical issues. Over the past 10-20 years, the number of medications prescribed for psychiatric illnesses has steadily increased, and psychiatric practitioners are frequently called upon to manage medical issues and side effects that result from psychotropic treatment. Covering a wide range of conditions from thyroid disorders to cardiac disease, this book is a helpful resource for understanding common adverse medical effects that occur when psychotropic drugs are administered. Presented in a practical format, each chapter discusses management of a particular medical problem or side effect and then provides a summary and flowchart of the major points highlighted in that chapter. Each chapter contains an overview of key medications causing a particular side effect. The book also includes special topics such as psychotropic prescribing in medical illness and tips on electrocardiographic interpretation. This easy-to-reference book aims to bridge the gap between medicine and psychiatry by elaborating on medical conditions seen in routine outpatient psychiatric practice. It serves as an invaluable tool for mental health providers, nurses, health educators, and pharmacologists alike.

Raising of Microvascular Flaps: A Systematic Approach 3rd ed. 2018 Edition

November 4, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=3319536699]

This book provides all who are involved in microsurgical tissue transfer, including plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, with all the knowledge they will need in daily practice. The new third edition continues with the didactic principle of splitting up complex surgical procedures into a series of simple steps, guided by clearly defined donor site-specific landmarks. For each flap, an anatomically based system of step-by-step procedures is proposed that best combines simplicity, safety, and reliability for successful flap harvesting. Photographs of each step are accompanied by schematic color drawings to enhance understanding of the anatomy. Surgical techniques are also shown in every detail in supplementary videos available online. Additional features in this edition include highly useful modifications of elevation of the radial forearm flap as well as new chapters on the rectus abdominis flap, a reliable option for covering deep and extended defects, and the medial sural perforator flap. Like the previous editions, the book will serve as a quick source of focused and straightforward information valuable for any reconstructive surgeon.

Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health 1st Edition

November 2, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=0807021997]

A complex web of factors has created the phenomenon of overdiagnosis: the popular media promotes fear of disease and perpetuates the myth that early, aggressive treatment is always best; in an attempt to avoid lawsuits, doctors have begun to leave no test undone, no abnormality overlooked; and profits are being made from screenings, medical procedures, and pharmaceuticals. Revealing the social, medical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that overdiagnoses and overtreats patients, Dr. H. Gilbert Welch makes a reasoned call for change that would save us pain, worry, and money.

Neural Mechanisms of Language (Innovations in Cognitive Neuroscience) 1st ed. 2017 Edition

November 2, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=1493973231]

This important volume brings together significant findings on the neural bases of spoken language –its processing, use, and organization, including its phylogenetic roots. Employing a potent mix of conceptual and neuroimaging-based approaches, contributors delve deeply into specialized structures of the speech system, locating sensory and cognitive mechanisms involved in listening and comprehension, grasping meanings and storing memories. The novel perspectives revise familiar models by tracing linguistic interactions within and between neural systems, homing in on the brain’s semantic network, exploring the neuroscience behind bilingualism and multilingual fluency, and even making a compelling case for a more nuanced participation of the motor system in speech. From these advances, readers have a more three-dimensional picture of the brain―its functional epicenters, its connections, and the whole―as the seat of language in both wellness and disorders.

Included in the topics:

· The interaction between storage and computation in morphosyntactic processing.

· The role of language in structure-dependent cognition.

· Multisensory integration in speech processing: neural mechanisms of cross-modal after-effect.

· A neurocognitive view of the bilingual brain.

· Causal modeling: methods and their application to speech and language.

· A word in the hand: the gestural origins of language.

Neural Mechanisms of Language presents a sophisticated mix of detail and creative approaches to understanding brain structure and function, giving neuropsychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, cognitive psychologists, and speech/language pathologists new windows onto the research shaping their respective fields.
