Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without a problem. A wide range of scenarios are covered, from the common problem of foreign body ingestion or aspiration in children and mentally handicapped adults through to drug smuggling by body packing and gunshot wounds.

This book focuses on the evaluation and treatment of a wide range of sports injuries in relation to the Tanner stage of sexual development in young athletes.

In addition, dermal fillers can be successfully used for body remodeling, for example in patients with bow legs and those requiring breast remodeling.This book outlines the fundamental principles of the use of different fillers and injection techniques in the treatment of facial and body areas.

This book gathers definitions, classification, and major features of drugs related to AEs observed in pre- and post-licensing trials and studies. Covers drug efficacy, etiopathogenesis and immunogenicity, systemic acute syndromes and off-label treatments.

During recent decades, more than 100 surgical procedures have been proposed to treat pelvic organ prolapse, and surgeons are still searching for the ideal approach.

Topics include plastic and reconstructive surgery, DCIS surgery, radio-guided surgery, adjuvant systemic therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, and the role of surgery in locally advanced and metastatic disease.

This book is intended for undergraduates and young researchers who wish to understand the role that different branches of physics and mathematics play in the execution of actual experiments.

For each topic a brief review of clinical features and pathology is presented, followed by a short description of imaging technique and an accurate review of imaging findings and signs which are useful in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal disease.

Nowadays, we are dealing more frequently with the entity of large intestine polyps, as endoscopy and bowel cancer screening programmes are rapidly expanding.

Si ripercorre la storia della cosmologia moderna, dal XVIII secolo fino alle più recenti scoperte (l'opera è aggiornata fino alla fine 2010). La cosmologia fa uso di concetti complessi, che vengono spesso fraintesi, o che non vengono compresi del tutto, da chi non è specialista del campo. Lo scopo del volume è di trattare esaustivamente tali concetti, entrando nel dettaglio per far cogliere intuitivamente il loro significato autentico anche ai non addetti: a questo scopo, si fa uso di metafore calzanti, di analogie newtoniane, di trattazioni quantitative che richiedono solo le conoscenze di fisica e di matematica di uno studente di scuola media superiore. Vengono discusse le idee più importanti e controverse che sono attualmente al centro del dibattito cosmologico, come la materia oscura e l'energia oscura. Vengono sviluppati i concetti di base della Relatività Generale e del Modello Standard delle particelle elementari.

Building on a decade of theoretical and methodological progress in landscape bionomics, this book acknowledges that well-intentioned landscape interventions can cause serious damage, and explains the concept of ecologists as "physicians" of ecological systems.

This book introduces concepts and techniques for mathematical modeling of the respiratory system, using differential equations, resistive networks and other mathematical tools. Offers state-of-the-art modeling techniques, and several detailed exercises.

Pediatric Thoracic Surgery will be of value not only for pediatric thoracic surgeons but also for adult thoracic surgeons, pediatric anesthetists, and pediatric respiratory physicians.

This book is designed as an advanced undergraduate or a first-year graduate course for students from various disciplines like applied mathematics, physics, engineering.

This book describes the basic physical principles of atomic spectroscopy and the absorption and emission of radiation in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.

The close correlations between anatomo-functional data and clinical aspects are substantiated by the study and interpretation of the data of respiratory mechan ics.

This book looks at innovations that will change our lives by the year 2062. It covers a wide variety of scientific topics of great interest to the general public, from astrophysics to genetics to robotics to clean energy.

It will be particularly relevant for emergency department physicians, critical care and ICU doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and professionals responsible for trauma care and decision making, programs of trauma education, or organization of a trauma center.Also available: Trauma Surgery Vol.

Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. The new volume in the series "Imagine Math" is intended to contribute to grasping how much that is interesting and new is happening in the relationships between mathematics, imagination and culture.

This is the first time that scientists including some of Gould's personal friends and co-authors of papers of momentous importance such as Niles Eldredge have come together to strike a balanced view of Gould's intellectual heritage.

This book offers a more efficient technical analysis: one that is not satisfied with protocols that seem to be fine, but which requires that they indeed are fine, and verifying this through computer simulations, serious statistical counts, and so on.

This richly illustrated book presents the pediatric applications of PET/CT in the full range of scenarios frequently encountered in a professional setting. This book will be invaluable for residents and practitioners in nuclear medicine, radiology, oncology, radiation oncology, and nuclear medicine technology

A growing number of people suffer from so-called resistant hypertension, that is to say, high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment.
