Neurosurgery - European Manual of Medicine

Book Description

In a specialized field such as neurosurgery, highly specific knowledge is required. Training programs in the EU vary, making it difficult to standardize medical training. This manual forms the basis for a European consensus in neurosurgery. It is written for residents, students and physicians with a special interest in neurosurgery. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are detailed according to localization (cranial, spinal, peripheral nerves) with special consideration given to congenital defects and pediatric neurosurgical disorders, functional and stereotactic neurosurgery, as well as critical neurosurgical care. Each chapter contains the basics of anatomy and physiology. The book is well-organized and clearly structured according to each entity and its neurosurgical treatment options. A better understanding of specific neurosurgical problems will help practicing neurosurgeons provide better medical care for their patients, and will also provide the neurosurgery resident with a reliable European standard for step-by-step management of neurosurgical problems, which will prove useful when preparing for the board examination.

Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, 21st Edition

Book Description 

More than two million medical students, doctors and other health professionals from around the globe have owned a copy of Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine. Today's readers rely on Davidson's to provide up-to-date detail of contemporary medical practice, presented in a style that is concise, beautifully illustrated and easy to read. Davidson's not only provides all of the factual knowledge required to practice medicine, but also explains it in the context of underlying principles, basic science and research evidence, and shows the reader how to apply their knowledge to manage patients who present with problems rather than specific diseases. 

The underlying principles of medicine are described concisely in the first part of the book, and the detailed practice of medicine within each sub-specialty is described in later system-based chapters. Each system-based chapter begins with an overview of the key elements in the clinical examination 'Sections on 'Presenting Problems' explain the approach to patients presenting with the most common complaints in each sub-specialty. Over 150 'Evidence Based Medicine' boxes highlight the conclusions from major clinical trials. 

Horizontal themes, such as ageing and pregnancy, are highlighted throughout. The text uses both SI and non-SI units to make it suitable for readers throughout the globe. The text is beautifully and extensively illustrated, with over 1000 illustrations, clinical photographs and imaging techniques. A new editorial team leads this edition with Dr Nicki College and Professor Brian Walker joined by Professor Stuart Ralston, Head of the School of Molecular and Clinical Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. A substantial group of new contributors bring new experience and ideas to the content and presentation of the textbook. 

New 'Practice Point' summaries detail the practical skills that medical students and junior doctors must acquire, from nasogastric tube insertion to the interpretation of ECGs and arterial blood gases. New 'In pregnancy' boxes examine the main issues to consider when the patient is a pregnant woman. New 'Emergency Boxes' are highlighted to emphasise the core knowledge needed to manage acutely ill patients. The global perspective has been enhanced with the assistance of the International Advisory Board and authors recruited from around the globe.

Principles Laser Spectroscopy & Quantum Optics

Book Description

Princeton University Press, Jan 12, 2011 - Science - 520 pages

Principles of Laser Spectroscopy and Quantum Optics is an essential textbook for graduate students studying the interaction of optical fields with atoms. It also serves as an ideal reference text for researchers working in the fields of laser spectroscopy and quantum optics.
The book provides a rigorous introduction to the prototypical problems of radiation fields interacting with two- and three-level atomic systems. It examines the interaction of radiation with both atomic vapors and condensed matter systems, the density matrix and the Bloch vector, and applications involving linear absorption and saturation spectroscopy. Other topics include hole burning, dark states, slow light, and coherent transient spectroscopy, as well as atom optics and atom interferometry. In the second half of the text, the authors consider applications in which the radiation field is quantized. Topics include spontaneous decay, optical pumping, sub-Doppler laser cooling, the Heisenberg equations of motion for atomic and field operators, and light scattering by atoms in both weak and strong external fields. The concluding chapter offers methods for creating entangled and spin-squeezed states of matter.
Instructors can create a one-semester course based on this book by combining the introductory chapters with a selection of the more advanced material. A solutions manual is available to teachers.

• Rigorous introduction to the interaction of optical fields with atoms
• Applications include linear and nonlinear spectroscopy, dark states, and slow light
• Extensive chapter on atom optics and atom interferometry
• Conclusion explores entangled and spin-squeezed states of matter

Fundamental & Application in Aerosol Spectroscopy

Book Description

Taylor & Francis Group, Jun 15, 2010 - Science - 509 pages

"Helping you better understand the processes, instruments, and methods of aerosol spectroscopy, fundamentals and applications in aerosol spectroscopy provides an overview of the state of the art in this rapidly developing field. It covers fundamental aspects of aerosol spectroscopy, applications to atmospherically and astronomically relevant problems, and several aspects that need further research and development.Chapters in the book are arranged in order of decreasing wavelength of the light/electrons. The text starts with infrared spectroscopy, one of the most important aerosol characterization methods for laboratory studies, field measurements, remote sensing, and space missions. It then focuses on Raman spectroscopy for investigating aerosol processes in controlled laboratory studies and for analyzing environmental particles and atmospheric pollution. The next section discusses the use of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to measure light extinction, laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy to identify and classify biological aerosol particles, and ultrafast laser techniques to improve the specificity of bioaerosol detection. The final section examines recent developments involving novel techniques based on UV, X-ray, and electron beam studies.This book offers the first comprehensive overview of the spectroscopy of aerosols. It includes some results for the first time in the literature and presents a unique link between fundamental aspects and applications"
