5 Stars! Doody's Review Service! (Perfect Score of 100) "...This book is more than sufficient for exposing undergraduate students to sports-related injuries, how they are identified, and how they might be treated by a professional. It includes a good deal of basic anatomy and physiology that is complemented well by treatment therapies for site-specific injury prevention and therapeutic care following injury." Written for students within Exercises Science and Exercise Physiology, Survey of Athletic Injuries for Exercise Science clearly outlines traditional prevention and care of athletic injuries for those who lack an athletic training background. It address the role that exercise science, exercise physiology, or professionals from other health-related fields play in the treatment of injuries and illnesses in the physically active population. The text addresses each body segment along with other information that impacts the physically active, such as ergogenic aids, supplements, nutrition, and exercise prescription. Throughout the text case studies and realistic situation boxes discusses interesting cases from the field. Key Features: Provides a necessary resource on athletic injury and prevention for the non-athletic trainer. Clearly defined chapter objectives identify critical information for students Critical thinking questions ask students to examine and reason through a variety of scenarios. Case Studies throughout analyzes and explores real-world situations.

Modern medicine is changing drastically as new technologies emerge to transform the way in which patients are diagnosed, treated, and monitored. In particular, dental medicine is experiencing a tremendous shift as new digital innovations are integrated into dental practice. The Handbook of Research on Computerized Occlusal Analysis Technology Applications in Dental Medicine explores the use of digital tools in dentistry, including their evolution as well as evidence-based research on the benefits of technological tools versus non-digital occlusal indicators. Comprised of current research on clinical applications and technologies, this publication is ideal for use by clinicians, educators, and upper-level students in dentistry.

Helps you find what you need quickly with a logical organization by anatomic region, and templated chapters that cover indications and clinical considerations, clinically relevant anatomy, technique, side effects and complications, and Dr. Waldman’s own clinical pearls. Focuses on the "how" rather than the "why" of office-based procedures, including greatly expanded ultrasound content that includes illustrations showing proper transducer placement, patient positioning, and ultrasound images. Includes 30 brand-new injection techniques, including Greater Auricular Nerve Block, Genicular Nerve Block, Medial Cutaneous Nerve Block, Digital Nerve Block of the Thumb, Sacral Nerve Block, Injection Technique For Plantar Fasciitis, and many more. Features new full color drawings that show appropriate needle placement and trajectory used to reach each target, as well as photographs, radiographs, ultrasound, CT, and MRI images throughout.

A systematic treatise of tumors and tumor-like lesions occurring in bone and soft tissues. The introductory chapter presents the terminology, the basic principles for classification and diagnosis, the general principles of imaging, biopsy and histology, the staging system and evaluation of the surgical margins, the general principles of curettage, local adjuvants, en bloc resection and reconstruction, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Each pathologic entity is described according to its epidemiology, localization, symptoms, imaging, gross pathology, histopathology, histogenesis and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, course and stage, treatment and prognosis.

Making the correct diagnosis is the first step in the effective management of patients in pain, and simplifying the diagnosis is the primary focus of Atlas of Common Pain Syndromes, 5th Edition. Dr. Steven D.

Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine Surgery provides full-color, step-by-step explanations of all operative procedures in sports medicine. It contains the sports-related chapters from Sam W. Wiesel's Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery. Written by experts from leading institutions around the world, this superbly illustrated volume focuses on mastery of operative techniques and also provides a thorough understanding of how to select the best procedure, how to avoid complications, and what outcomes to expect. The user-friendly format is ideal for quick preoperative review of the steps of a procedure. Each procedure is broken down step by step, with full-color intraoperative photographs and drawings that demonstrate how to perform each technique. Extensive use of bulleted points and tables allows quick and easy reference. Each clinical problem is discussed in the same format: definition, anatomy, physical exams, pathogenesis, natural history, physical findings, imaging and diagnostic studies, differential diagnosis, non-operative management, surgical management, pearls and pitfalls, postoperative care, outcomes, and complications. To ensure that the material fully meets residents' needs, the text was reviewed by a Residency Advisory Board.

With detailed coverage of surgical procedures, Veterinary Surgery: Small Animal is an authoritative, two-volume reference on the art and science of small animal surgery. Expert contributors discuss surgical principles and procedures for topics ranging from surgical biology and perioperative care, to neurosurgery orthopedic surgery, and soft tissue surgery, always supported by evidence-based research and complete surgical instructions. More procedures are covered with greater detail than in comparable books, and a greater emphasis on pathophysiology shows how it relates to diagnosis, treatment, and overall case management. Experienced Coeditors Karen Tobias and Spencer Johnston provide the definitive reference for veterinary surgery, invaluable preparation for the ACVS and ECVS board examinations. Blend of clinical and basic science information provides the best possible understanding of clinical issues surrounding operative situations. Specific procedures are covered in great detail and are brought to life with full-color drawings and photographs.
