The fundamental, one-stop global resource for neurosurgical practice in updated 10th editionUnlike traditional medical textbooks, the origins of the now legendary Handbook of Neurosurgery by Mark Greenberg took root in the late 1980’s in the notes the author kept while taking care of his patients, from his weekly grand rounds presentations, and in the literature he read. Now in its 10th edition, the book that is often referred to as the “bible for neurosurgeons” has grown organically over the years to include more topics of importance to those who provide healthcare to patients with neurologic ailments, and to reflect advances in the understanding and management of the underlying conditions and diseases.Throughout 23 sections and 116 chapters, the generously illustrated text covers information ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics. The comprehensive, conveniently compact book provides detailed, high-value, and actionable information that can be quickly accessed to enhance patient management, thereby eliminating the need to wade through superfluous material. It is also a perfect study companion for board examination and preparation for the maintenance of certification.Key Features Updated classification and diagnostic criteria of central and peripheral nervous system tumors, based on the most recent WHO classifications Reworking of numerous sections, including current concepts in pseudotumor cerebri, seizure classification, and more Addition of new chapters, including idiopathic scoliosis, LOVA, and tuberculosis of the CNS Current principles of nonsurgical and surgical management, including risk factors, indications, diagnostics, prognoses, contraindications, and differential diagnoses Nearly 500 figures, including new summary flow charts, illustrations, and simplified diagrams for early learners, enhance understanding of material discussed in the text As in prior editions, thousands of references for further study This unique book encompasses a wide breadth of neurosurgical topics in an easy digestible format, making it an indispensable daily reference for all neurosurgical residents, fellows, neurosurgeons, and allied health practitioners.

The fifth edition of this well-loved manual for understanding and using Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) presents clear guidelines for their applications, resting on the newest scientific research and embedded in the framework of whole-person health care. It provides a comprehensive, evidence-based how-to guide for applying MET in the treatment of some forms of musculoskeletal dysfunction, to alleviate pain, and support functional movement. Packed with colour illustrations and complemented by more than 50 instructional videos featuring Leon Chaitow demonstrating the techniques described, Muscle Energy Techniques 5e guides the reader through both theory and practice, with an emphasis on evidence-informed clinical reasoning and application. This fifth edition reconvenes the international team of expert contributors originally selected by Leon Chaitow to present the role of METs in a range of clinical settings and scenarios. These include the use of METs for treating a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions, prevention and management of trauma and injuries in athletes, and their successful incorporation into physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathic, massage therapy, and rehabilitation environments.

A sette anni di distanza dalla prima edizione, proponiamo ai lettori estimatori della materia una seconda edizione ampliata, riveduta e corretta del libro A COSA SERVE LA BIOCHIMICA. Qualsiasi libro, anche se letto e riletto, una volta stampato evidenzia qualche refuso che fa rammaricare l’autore per non essere stato abbastanza attento.Anche l’informatica ha talvolta i suoi difetti come quando, passando il file di un capitolo, che contenga delle formule chimiche scritte dall’autore, dal sistema Windows ad un sistema professionale proprio delle aziende editoriali, i trattini che legano i vari elementi chimici si trasformano in quadrati, con buona pace del compositore di bozze che naturalmente non sa quale dei quattro lati del quadrato sia il legame giusto e, soprattutto in verticale, a quale elemento chimico della riga superiore o inferiore corrisponda.Poi ci sono gli errori sostanziali fatti da chi, pur esperto nella materia trattata, non è uno specialista, nel nostro caso un biochimico. Un esempio di questi errori (in questo caso privo di conseguenze cliniche, ma solo didascalico) mi è stato evidente, col senno di poi, nel ciclo di Krebs dove avevo dato per scontato che, là dove ci fosse una decarbossilazione ossidativa, il coenzima fosse la cocarbossilasi, forma attiva della vitamina B1. Un approfondimento tardivo mi aveva poi evidenziato che la vitamina B1 non partecipa all’ultima delle reazioni che trasformano l’acido citrico (6 atomi di C) in acido alfa-chetoglutarico (5 atomi di C).Ma non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere. Questa nuova edizione, oltre all’inserimento di tre nuovi capitoli (sugli ipnotici, sugli antibiotici e sugli adiuvanti perineurali), vede la modifica e l’ampliamento di altri. Il capitolo sugli antibiotici sarà particolarmente utile a chi si occupa prevalentemente di terapia intensiva; quello sugli adiuvanti perineurali ai cultori dell’anestesia locoregionale; infine, l’appendice sul surfattante polmonare è diventata un quarto nuovo capitolo.A libro già stampato mi ero accorto che mancava qualcosa! Alcune di queste modifiche erano allora state apportate nell’Edizione Inglese “Biochemistry for Anesthesiologists and Intensivists”, pubblicata da Springer Verlag nel gennaio 2020. Una lusinghiera recensione era poi venuta da un illustre collega che, oltre ad alcune giuste osservazioni critiche, così concludeva: “L’estesa bibliografia favorirà chi desideri un ulteriore approfondimento di specifici argomenti”. Alcune voci bibliografiche potrebbero sembrare un po’ datate, ma una nozione nel mondo scientifico resta valida fino a che non venga contestata o superata.
