This textbook addresses the best way of evaluating patients with rectal prolapse, the underlying pathophysiology, the different surgical approaches, the expected functional results after surgery and the management of complex clinical conditions associated with this condition.

Nonetheless, because of a rapidly expanding knowledge base,both with regard to a more - fined understanding of elbow pathology, coupled with exciting and emerging approaches and options for management, it is appropriate and timely to - dress this deficiency in the orthopedic literature.

The studies on Biohydrogels have had a rapid, exponential evolution in the last decades. This book is the result of an International conference gathering the most recent results in this field.

Leon Ehrenpreis has been one of the leading mathematicians in the twentieth century. His contributions to the theory of partial differential equations were part of the golden era of PDEs, and led him to what is maybe his most important contribution, the Fundamental Principle, which he announced in 1960, and fully demonstrated in 1970.

The new edition of this book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of whiplash-associated disorders, focusing in particular on a functional approach to clinical and instrumental diagnosis and rehabilitative treatment.

Here is essential coverage of modeling, simulation, analysis and applications dealing with biological cellular control systems. Shows how to use data to estimate parameters, and use MATLAB for simulations, predictions and stability and sensitivity analysis.

Advancing the diagnosis at an early stage and particularly in the neurosurgical clinical examination would enhance the slightest possibility of recovery, theoretically almost transforming it into a concrete possibility.

Endocrine glands may be involved in patients with thalassemia major. Internationally acknowledged experts give a state-of-the-art account of physiopathological and therapeutical approaches to endocrine disorders in thalassemia and focus on such topics as growth hormones, thyroid diseases, puberty, hypogonadism, diabetes, and bone metabolism.

In 1971, a breakthrough was achieved with the isolation, structural analysis, and synthesis of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH), or GnRH as it is now more appropriately termed, since it provokes the secretion of both gonadotropins, LH and FSH, and since then the progress made in this area of research has been remarkable.

Sepsis is a syndrome or sometimes it is a clinical condition evoked by uncontrolled endotoxin-reactions. These pathophysiological alterations can disturb the organism's homeostasis leading ultimately to a condition of severe organ dysfunction which in itself means a bad prognosis for patient survival.

This volume summarizes knowledge on vitamin C (ascorbic acid), the major water-soluble antioxidant vitamin. Fundamental molecular, biological and physiological properties of the acid are presented, and knowledge on the role of vitamin C in major diseases such as cancer is critically evaluated.

Imaging is required for both initial assessment and routine follow-up of the implant, and this book is intended as an informative and up-to-date guide to the subject. The application of imaging to different joints is then carefully explored in chapters devoted to the foot and ankle, hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow, wrist and hand.

Il volume fornisce un panorama aggiornato dei principali aspetti teorici, formativi e di ricerca che attualmente caratterizzano la psicologia clinica in Italia. I diversi contributi presentati nelle prime 4 sezioni (Prospettive e dibattiti; Le psicoterapie: sviluppi ed innovazioni; Psicologia clinica, psicoterapia e ricerca; La dimensione formativa in psicologia clinica ) rappresentano il frutto di un dialogo e di un confronto che si è articolato nel tempo fra alcuni dei principali studiosi italiani. Lo spirito che accomuna i diversi capitoli deriva dalla considerazione che la psicologia clinica implica una clinica essenzialmente psicologica, caratterizzata da metodiche atte a comprendere ed eventualmente modificare stati mentali, schemi di comportamento e sistemi di relazione. Nella sezione quinta In dialogo con altre discipline vengono riportati i contributi della filosofia del linguaggio ed alcune nuove proposte metodologiche sugli studi osservazionali. I diversi capitoli del volume offrono un aggiornato panorama delle principali tematiche che caratterizzano le attuali prospettive della psicologia clinica.
