Book Description

Written primarily for medical students on otolaryngology rotation, and for residents and primary care physicians who are not specialists in this area, The Clinical Handbook of Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders serves as a ready-reference clinical handbook of current diagnostic and therapeutic management of ear, nose, and throat disorders. The book takes a symptom-oriented approach that provides practical algorithms for diagnosis and management that make it an ideal quick reference. The appendixes describe pharmaceuticals commonly used in otolaryngologic practices and instruments that are necessary for a complete otolaryngologic examination.Authors William R. Wilson and Joseph B. Nadol, Jr., are chiefs of their divisions of otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery and otolaryngology, respectively, at major American medical centers. The authors include the basic information non-otolaryngologists need to diagnose and treat ear, nose, and throat disorders, and provide lists of recommended readings and a comprehensive index. The Clinical Handbook of Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders serves, as its title implies, as a handbook and quick reference of current diagnostic and therapeutic management of ear, nose, and throat disorders. ...

Book Description

Hardbound. This book will bea companion for the surgeon performing tympanoplasty. Tympanoplasty is a unique operation which half a century ago appeared as the first functional surgery under microscopy in the history of medicine. There are several different surgical approaches to any case of chronic ear disease, and in each case, the best method of tympanoplasty should be used. The success rate of tympanoplasty should be high enough to be able to operate when there is only one hearing ear and a success rate of 100% is required.Hence, the objective of training ear surgeons is to obtain 100% confidence intheir tympanoplasty. Most ear surgeons would agree, that 'closed method tympanoplasty' is the best method, of which two techniques can be chosen, 'closed method, intactposterior canal wall technique' which requires more skills because of a limited visual field, and the 'closed method, posterior canal wall reconstruction method'.The latter is recomm ...

Book Description

This book contains the proceedings of an international hearing-research conference held in Germany 2002. The conference brought together experts in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, engineering, physics, mathematics, audiology and medicine to synthesize and extend our understanding of how the cochlea works. Topics are discussed experimentally and theoretically at the molecular, cellular and whole-organ levels. Some of the topics are: mechanosensitivity of motor proteins; mechanochemical transduction by motor proteins; mechanoelectrical transduction in the stereocilia of hair cells; electromechanical transduction in the stereocilia, soma and synapses of hair cells; multidimensional vibration of the organ of Corti; and otoacoustic emissions. This book will be invaluable to researchers and students in auditory science. ... Read more

Book Description

In this unique book, Sir Donald Harrison draws on his wide-ranging experience as a surgeon and comparative anatomist to produce an authoritative and detailed account of the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian larynx. His investigation of the larynx has involved the study of over 1200 specimens of mammalian larynges from around the world, as well as using data from his own clinical experiences. The comparative morphology of the larynx is discussed from a developmental and functional perspective, and the involvement of the larynx in respiration, locomotion and vocalization is highlighted.Throughout the book the relationship of structure to function is stressed, and the clinical relevance of features of the human larynx is emphasized. ...
