Product Description

In this book!Neuroanatomy and the Neurologic Exam is an innovative, comprehensive thesaurus that surveys terminology from neuroanatomy and the neurologic examination, as well as related general terms from neurophysiology, neurohistology, neuroembryology, neuroradiology, and neuropathology. The author prepared the thesaurus by examining how terms were used in a large sample of recent, widely used general textbooks in basic neuroanatomy and clinical neurology. These textbooks were written by experts who received their primary professional training in 13 different countries, allowing the thesaurus to incorporate synonyms and conflicting definitions that occur as a result of variations in terminology used in other countries.

Product Description

Because of the progress in diagnostic transplantation pathology interpretation of transplant biopsies is increasingly becoming an attractive field for general surgical pathologists. The book focuses on the pathology of transplantation in the following organs: kidney, liver, lungs, heart, pancreas and small intestine. An introductory section addresses common entities that may complicate all transplant recipients such as infections, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease and graft versus host disease, followed by 6 sections with detailed manifestations of rejection in each organ. This comprehensive, well-illustrated book serves the needs and meets the requirements of pathologists in training and those practicing in centers with limited volume of transplant biopsies in daily practice.

Product Description

Probability and statistics impinge on the life of the average person in a variety of ways — as is suggested by the title of this book. Very often, information is provided that is factually accurate but intended to present a biased view. This book presents the important results of probability and statistics without making heavy mathematical demands on the reader. It should enable an intelligent reader to properly assess statistical information and to understand that the same information can be presented in different ways.

Contents: The Nature of Probability; Combining Probabilities; A Day at the Races; Making Choices and Selections; Non-Intuitive Examples of Probability; Probability and Health; Combining Probabilities, The Craps Game Revealed; The UK National Lottery, Loaded Dice and Crooked Wheels; Block Diagrams; The Normal (or Gaussian) Distribution; Statistics — The Collection and Analysis of Numerical Data; The Poisson Distribution and Death by Horse Kicks; Predicting Voting Patterns; Taking Samples — How Many Fish in the Pond?; Differences — Rats and IQs; Crime is Increasing and Decreasing; My Uncle Joe Smoked 60 a Day; Chance, Luck and Making Decisions.
