Cranial Nerves: Function & Dysfunction, Third Edition presents problem-based learning cases and clinical testing in a visual format. Cranial Nerves targets students of the health sciences (medicine, rehabilitation sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, speech pathology, audiology, nursing, physical and health education, and biomedical communications) who may be studying neuroanatomy and gross anatomy for the first time. The text guides users through pertinent information and full-colour functional drawings including color-coded pathways/modalities from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input) and from the brain to the periphery (motor output). Each pathway is described according to the direction of the nerve impulse, not according to the embryologic outgrowth of the nerve. Cranial Nerves: Function & Dysfunction, Third Edition separates the nerve ?bre modalities, thereby highlighting important clinical aspects of each nerve. The website includes all illustrations as well as 19 videos demonstrating the testing of the cranial nerves.

Autonomic Nerves - authored by the same team that created Cranial Nerves - provides an easy-to-follow format designed to make learning about autonomic nerves easier. Teachers, students, and practitioners will find vibrant illustrations integrated with text. Presented in two parts, the first describes the structure and function of the autonomic nerves. The second part addresses autonomic control of individual organ systems in a problem-based learning format. Throughout the text, Autonomic Nerves describes afferent pathways, integrating structures and mechanisms, efferent pathways, and the autonomic effectors. Principles of autonomic neurotransmission are also discussed.

This second edition presents a thorough revision ofCranial Nerves. The format reflects the shift in teaching methods from didactic lectures to problem-based learning. It maintains the first edition's approach of blending the neuro- and gross anatomy of the cranial nerves as seen through colour-coded functional drawings of the pathways from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input) and from the brain to the periphery (motor output).

Ultrasound in Liquid and Solid Metals focuses on the effect of intensive ultrasound on metals, including the analysis of the development of cavitation and acoustic flows in melts, mechanism of metals' spraying and crystallization, the formation of dislocation structure in crystals, diffusion, phase transformation, and plastic deformation. Physical fundamentals of intensive ultrasound effects are covered, and detailed discussions are presented on the engineering principles of equipment and material design for the practical use of ultrasound in the refining of melts, crystallization of ingots and molds, pulverization, plating, pressure working of metals, surface strengthening, and other processes.

En una época en que la neurociencia cobra cada vez mayor importancia, una formación anatómica sólida en cuanto al conocimiento de los pares craneales abre a estudiantes y profesionales la puerta para atravesar la que hasta hace poco se consideraba como la última gran frontera del conocimiento científico. Por ello, y pensando en quienes estudian el tema por primera vez, esta obra resulta de suma utilidad para estudiantes de medicina, odontología, enfermería, medicina física y rehabilitación, y sirve como fuente de referencia rápida para residentes de medicina interna, neurología, neurocirugía, otorrinolaringología y cirugía maxilofacial. Como novedad, esta 2a edición presenta: - Especial énfasis en la enseñanza didáctica con aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas. - Imágenes de singular belleza ilustradas por L. Wilson Pauwels. - Texto y material visual revisado con comentarios clínicos pertinentes y preguntas guía. Y conserva de la 1a edición: - El enfoque integrador de la anatomía general y la neurología de los pares craneales. - La imagen tridimensional de estos nervios y su trayecto a través de dibujos funcionales didácticos, codificados por color, de las vías de conducción que se extienden desde la periferia hasta el cerebro (eferencia sensitiva) y desde el cerebro hasta la periferia (eferencia motora).
