Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Springer (12 June, 2007)
»ISBN: 0387354158
»Book author: S. Bert Litwin

Book Description:

Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery covers the full spectrum of congenital heart defects, first depicting the pathology in pre-repair photographs and then detailing step-by-step the operative procedure. Dr. Litwin depicts the most common procedures along with the most complex ones, providing a range of information vital to residents and fellows in training as well as clinicians in practice.

One of the key aspects of the utility and practicality of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery is the unique perspective of the operative photos. Using a special side-mounted flash, the author s photographs vividly capture the three dimensional spatial relations of congenital anomalies and surgical anatomy. Additionally, each illustration and photo is extensively labeled for clarity (indicating the patient s left, right, cephalad and caudad positions).

With over 100 new illustrations and many new procedures, the new edition of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery is both a textbook and an atlas, providing an indispensable reference for every surgeon, cardiologist, intensivist, or anesthetist who treats patients with congenital cardiac anomalies.

In Vitro Transcription and Translation Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology (Cloth))

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Humana Press (2007)
»ISBN: 1588295583
»Book author: Guido, Ed. Grandi

Book Description:

A highly anticipated update of the previous edition, In Vitro Transcription and Translation Protocols, Second Edition, provides molecular biology laboratories with the most powerful techniques for exploiting in vitro transcription and translation systems.In Section One: Technologies, authors discuss the use of alternative energy systems for ATP regeneration, the efficient in vitro production of integral membrane proteins, and the high-throughput production of protein libraries using the innovative single-molecule PRC-linked in vitro expression (SIMPLEX) technology. In Section Two: Applications, authors present in vitro translation of amplified protease gene from HIV patients to select proper anti-protease drug therapy, in vitro translation of genes from human patients to diagnose biologically relevant gene mutations, use of SIMPLEX technology to select enantioselective lipases from libraries of randomly produced lipase mutants, and the in vitro transcription and translation to identify proteins in 2D-maps.

Gene Mapping, Discovery, And Expression: Methods And Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) (Methods in Molecular Biology Volume 338)

Product Details
»Book Publisher: Humana Press (21 April, 2006)
»ISBN: 1588295753
»Book author: Minou, Ed. Bina

Book Description:
A collection of cutting-edge computational tools and experimental techniques to study how genes are regulated, and to reconstruct the regulatory networks through which various cell-types are produced. On the computational side, web-based technologies to localize genes, to access and retrieve data from microarray databases, to conduct comparative genomics, and to discover the potential “codes” in genomic DNA that may control the expression of protein-coding genes. Detailed experimental techniques described include methods for studying chromatin structure and allele-specific gene expression, methods for high-throughput analysis to characterize the transcription factor binding elements, and methods for isolating and identifying proteins that interact with DNA. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biologyâ„¢ series format, each offering step-by-step instructions, an introduction outlining the principles behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding pitfalls.

Cleft Lip and Palate: Diagnosis and Management

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Springer (14 November, 2005)
»ISBN: 3540234098
»Book author: Samuel Berkowitz

Book Description:

The second edition of Cleft Lip and Palate: Perspectives In Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. This text can never be duplicated since it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout all growth and treatment concepts, the need for differential diagnosis in treatment planning has been underscored. The underlying argument is that all of the treatment goals — good speech, facial aesthetics and dental occlusion — may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for the other. Every chapter author’s concepts arose from extensive experience subjected to testing. Emphasis is placed on the essential character of multicenter clinical studies for improving understanding of the natural history of the cleft defect and the face in which it is found.

Encyclopedia of Rape

Product Details
»Book Publisher: Greenwood Press (30 August, 2004)
»ISBN: 0313326878
»Book author: Merril D. Smith

Book Description:
Rape has been perpetrated throughout history and worldwide, and today ours has been called a rape culture, because sexual violence, mainly against women and children, is prevalent and tolerated to some extent. The Encyclopedia of Rape offers 185 entries in an A-to-Z essay format covering the historical scope and magnitude of the issue in the United States and globally. Written by a host of scholars from diverse fields, it provides informed perspectives on the key dimensions of the topic, from concepts, social movements, offenders, high-profile cases, legislation, influential activists, landmark texts, and victimology to representations in literature and art. This solid, accessible ready-reference will allow students and the general reader to contextualize current events and reading and viewing in history, literature and the Bible, film, art history, gender studies, psychology, criminology, popular culture, and more. Rape is a topic of perpetual relevance and remains deeply controversial, as it involves the sexual act. Although women are the primary targets of rape and thus the focus of discussion of it, the rape of men, children, and animals is also considered in the encyclopedia. Up to date, it contains insight on the manifestations of rape today, including as a tool of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and genocide in Rwanda, the Catholic Church priest scandals, and drug-facilitated date rape. Added value comes from an abundance of statistics, suggested reading for further research per entry, chronology, resource guide, and appendix listing entries by topic.
