Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The use of intra-arterial therapy is not nearly as easy as the use of systemic intravenous therapy. The unique complications of intra-arterial therapy can be minimized by selecting the right drug delivery system and by judicious use of appropriate chemotherapeutic agents. Intra-arterial therapy should not be used by physicians who are unwilling to provide the commitment necessary. Experience and dedication are essential ingredients. Only careful clinical investigation can underwrite the future in this area. REFERENCES 1. Ensminger WD, Gyves JW: Regional cancer chemotherapy. Cancer Treat Rep (68):101-115, 1984. 2.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on the diag nosis or management of a particular malignancy The few general oncology textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number of patients. Certain general journals fre quently publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published sym posium lectures are often the best overviews available. Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically, and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of authoritative volumes which aim to meet this need. It is an attempt to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem in the following fashion. First, by di viding the oncology literature into specific subdivisions such as lung cancer, genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking eminent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably, discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of treatment modalities, basic biology, and more.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Absolute values and their completions - like the p-adic number fields- play an important role in number theory. Krull's generalization of absolute values to valuations made applications in other branches of mathematics, such as algebraic geometry, possible. In valuation theory, the notion of a completion has to be replaced by that of the so-called Henselization.In this book, the theory of valuations as well as of Henselizations is developed. The presentation is based on the knowledge aquired in a standard graduate course in algebra. The last chapter presents three applications of the general theory -as to Artin's Conjecture on the p-adic number fields- that could not be obtained by the use of absolute values only. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With the growth of modern computing power it has become possible to apply far more mathematics to real problems. This has led to the difficulty that many people who have been working in various jobs suddenly find themselves not understanding the modern processing which is being applied to their own professional field. It also means that the people presently being trained in these subjects need to understand a much wider range of mathe matics than in the past. It is to both of these groups that this book is addressed. The major objective is to present the reader with the basic mathematical understanding to follow the new developments in their own field. The mathematics in this book is based on the need to understand signal process ing. The modern work in this area is mathematically very sophisticated and our purpose is not to train professional mathematicians but to make far more of the literature accessible. Since this book is based on courses devised for Racal Geophysics there is clearly going to be a bias towards the applications in that area, as the title implies. It is also true that the bibliogra phy has been chosen in order to aid the reader in that field by pointing them in the direction of recent applications in geophysics. 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Some problems of mathematical physics and analysis can be formulated as the problem of solving the equation f EUR F, (1) Au = f, where A: DA C U + F is an operator with a non-empty domain of definition D , in a metric space U, with range in a metric space F. The metrics A on U and F will be denoted by P and P ' respectively. Relative u F to the twin spaces U and F, J. Hadamard P-06] gave the following defini tion of correctness: the problem (1) is said to be well-posed (correct, properly posed) if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The range of the value Q of the operator A coincides with A F ('sol vabi li ty' condition); (2) The equality AU = AU for any u ,u EUR DA implies the I 2 l 2 equality u = u ('uniqueness' condition); l 2 (3) The inverse operator A-I is continuous on F ('stability' condition). Any reasonable mathematical formulation of a physical problem requires that conditions (1)-(3) be satisfied. That is why Hadamard postulated that any 'ill-posed' (improperly posed) problem, that is to say, one which does not satisfy conditions (1)-(3), is non-physical. Hadamard also gave the now classical example of an ill-posed problem, namely, the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation. 280 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The existence of a differential block is still part of the theory of regional anaesthesia. In 1980 it was described in detail by Cousins and Bridenbough in their standard work Neural Blockade. The theory of differential sensitivity of fibres in the peripheral nervous system essentially goes back to Gasser and Erlanger, who in 1929 established that when isolated peripheral nerves are electri cally stimulated in the presence of increasing concentrations of co caine, the compound action potentials of slow-conducting fibres are blocked before those of fast-conducting fibres show any measur able changes. In man, regional anaesthesia begins subjectively with a feeling of warmth, objectively with a corresponding increase in skin tem perature. There is then, in order of occurence, loss of sensation of cold, heat and pain, and pressure and touch, and fmally loss of voluntary motoricity. In recovery from anaesthesia, these return in the reverse order. The theory of differential block is by no means undisputed. In 1981, de Jong, commenting in Anesthesiology on the work pub lished in that journal by Gissen et al. which showed a new sequence of differential sensitivity in the rabbit, wrote, 'There remains plen ty to be done yet before the book on differential nerve block can be closed'. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During development two strongly interrelated processes can be discerned in the central nervous system (eNS), namely morphogenesis and histogenesis. Most neuroembryological studies deal with histogenetic features virtually with out any morphological elucidation. It must be stressed, however, that histogen etic investigations should be based upon a thorough knowledge of morphogene sis. This holds especially for the forebrain, which during development is sub jected to drastic transformations, particularly when only two-dimensional sec tions are used. Therefore the present study on morphogenesis forms the first part of a research project on the ontogenesis of the brain in the rhesus monkey. The second part (Gribnau and Geijsberts 1984) will deal with the early histogene sis of the forebrain. The first recognizable precursor of the eNS in vertebrates is the neural plate, which, after the formation of the germ layers, is induced in the ectoderm. The lateral margins of the neural plate start to rise, forming a neural groove. Eventu ally, they meet dorsally in the midline and fuse, resulting in the formation of the neural tube. The ultimate sites of closure at either end of the neural tube are called the anterior and posterior neuropores. Before the closure of the anterior neuropore, which precedes that of the posterior neuropore, the anlage of the eNS can be divided into a narrow elongated caudal part, the future spinal cord, and a wider rostral part, the precursor of the brain. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'The Elderly' is the third monograph in a series on management and treatment in major patient groups and subspecialties. Each book is complete in its own right. The whole series, however, has fill a gap between standard text-books of medicine been prepared to and therapeutics and research reviews, symposia and original arti cles in specialist fields. The aim of the series is to present up-to-date authoritative advice on patient management with particular refer ence to drug treatment. The first two volumes in the series, on gastrointestinal diseases and rheumatic diseases, were addressed to major therapeutic areas or subspecialties. The present volume, 'The Elderly', is intended to provide overall guidance on the manage ment of a range of medical problems in elderly patients. The elderly make up an increasing proportion of the population and require a substantial proportion of health care resources. The management of elderly patients falls not only upon specialist geriatricians but also upon a range of others, including general practitioners, general physicians and almost all other medical specialists with the excep tion of paediatricians. It has become apparent in recent years that the management of disease in the elderly in general and drug treatment in particular presents new problems and challenges. Some of these relate to the wide spectrum of disease in elderly patients, in whom there is often multiple pathology, while others concern age-induced changes in drug handling or drug effect. 192 pp. Englisch.
