Abstract

Principles of Bone Biology provides the most comprehensive, authoritative reference on the study of bone biology and related diseases. It is the essential resource for anyone involved in the study of bone biology. Bone research in recent years has generated enormous attention, mainly because of the broad public health implications of osteoporosis and related bone disorders.*Provides a "one-stop? shop. There is no need to search through many research journals or books to glean the information one wants...it is all in one source written by the experts in the field.*THE ess

Abstract

Osteoarthritis is a common disorder of the joints that affects more than 2 million people in the UK, and studies suggest that this number will double in the next 20 years. The condition is strongly associated with ageing and is believed to affect up to 30% of people over 60 years of age. There are a number of misconceptions surrounding osteoarthritis and this, combined with the lack of effective drug treatments, often leaves patients dispirited and confused about their condition. Osteoarthritis: The Facts helps patients and their carers better understand their condition with a view towards sel

Abstract

The Bioarchaeology of Metabolic Bone Disease provides a comprehensive and invaluable source of information on this important group of diseases. It is an essential guide for those engaged in either basic recording or in-depth research on human remains from archaeological sites. The range of potential tools for investigating metabolic diseases of bone are far greater than for many other conditions, and building on clinical investigations, this book will consider gross, surface features visible using microscopic examination, histological and radiological features of bone, that can be used to help investigate metabolic bone diseases. *Clear photographs and line drawings illustrate gross, histological and radiological features associated with each of the conditions. *Covers a range of issues pertinent to the study of metabolic bone disease in archaeological skeletal material, including the problems that frequent co-existence of these conditions in individuals living in the past raises, the preservation of human bone and the impact this has on the ability to suggest a diagnosis of a condition. *Includes a range of conditions that can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis, including previous investigations of these conditions in archaeological bone.

Abstract

The need for a laboratory and field manual to assist with the evaluation of juvenile skeletal material is long overdue. This resource is essential for the practising osteoarchaeologist and forensic anthropologist who requires a quick, reliable and easy-to-use reference to aid in the identification, siding and aging of juvenile osseous material. While excellent reference books on juvenile osteology are currently available, no pre-existing source adequately fills this particular niche in the market. This field manual is designed with practicality as its primary directive.

Abstract

Cd-rom bij het gelijknamige boek. Zowel voor de geneesheer als kinesitherapeut is een goede basiskennis van de muskuloskeletale traumatologie en orthopedie van primair belang.In dit boek wordt daarom een actuele beschrijving gegeven van de belangrijkste traumata, orthopedische aandoeningen en revalidatieaspecten van het bewegingstelsel.De inhoud is gebaseerd op de basiskennis die elke geneesheer hieromtrent zou moeten kunnen verwerven, en is daarom uitermate geschikt als cursustekst bij de lessen traumatologie, orthopedie en kinesitherapie.Omwille van het duidelijke taalgebruik en de talrijke illustraties is dit werk vlot leesbaar en daarom ook een handig naslagwerk voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in muskuloskeletale letsels. Kinesitherapeuten, maar ook paramedici en mensen actief in de sportwereld die frequent geconfronteerd worden met problemen van het bewegingsapparaat, zullen eveneens hun gading vinden in dit werk.

Abstract

Forensic scientists working with human skeletal remains must be able to differentiate between human and non-human bones. Comparative Skeletal Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas for Medical Examiners, Coroners, Forensic Anthropologists, and Archaeologists fills a void in the literature by providing a comprehensive photographic guide of both human and non-human bones that is useful to those working in the fields of archaeology or the forensic sciences. This volume is a photographic atlas of common animal bones and is the first to focus comparatively on both human and animal osteology. Throughout this groundbreaking text, animal bones are photographed alongside the corresponding human bone, allowing the reader to observe size and shape variations. The goal of this guide is to help experienced archaeologists and forensic scientists distinguish human remains from common animal species, including horses, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs, among others. Comprehensive and timely, Comparative Skeletal Anatomy: A Photographic Atlas for Medical Examiners, Coroners, Forensic Anthropologists, and Archaeologists is sure to become an essential reference for all forensic scientists and archeologists working with human skeletal remains.
