Dendrites form the major receiving part of neurons. It is within these highly complex, branching structures that the real work of the nervous system takes place. The dendrites of neurons receive thousands of synaptic inpites from other neurons. But dendrites do more than simply collect and funnel these signals to the soma and axon; they shape and integrate the inputs in complex ways. Despite being discovered over a century ago, dendrites received little research attention until the early 1950s. Over the past few years there has been a dramatic explosion of interest in the function of these beautiful structures. Recent new research has developed our understanding of the properties of dendrites, and their role in neuronal function. This is the first book devoted exclusively and comprehensively to dendrites. Its main aim is to gather the new information on dendrites into a single volume, with contributions written by leading researchers in the field. It presents a survey of the current state of our knowledge of dendrites, from their morphology and development through to their electrical, chemical, and computational properties. As such it will not only be of interest to researchers and graduate-level students in neuroscience, but will also be useful to researchers in computer science and IT, psychology, physiology, and biophysics.

Leading experts provide timely and comprehensive information on methods for conditional mutagenesis in the mouse (part 1) and their application to model human physiology and pathophysiology (part 2). It illustrates how sophisticated genetic manipulations of the mouse genome are employed to model human diseases and to identify underlying molecular mechanisms. Finally the book considers the development of new drugs to treat them.

Pediatric Clinical Neurophysiology introduces clinical neurophysiology and its applications to the paediatric neurologist. It does not aim at being a textbook of either clinical neurophysiology or paediatric neurology, but to bridge these entities, as a handbook for the clinician. The focus is on the methods applied in the setting of a clinical neurophysiological laboratory. Pediatric Clinical Neurophysiology will stimulate readers’ interest in paediatric clinical neurophysiology in their daily clinical work with children.

This is the first comprehensive volume to be published on the subject of electrical trauma in humans. Many of the world's leading experts describe the basic mechanisms of tissue injury in victims of electrical trauma, the complex and varied manifestations of electrical trauma, and state-of-the-art clinical treatment protocols. Promising new therapies still in the research stage are also discussed and assessed. The volume describes the basic physiochemical mechanisms responsible for tissue damage and explains the complex and variable ways in which electrical trauma manifests itself. An understanding of these underlying processes provides the basis for a rational and consistent approach to treatment which is highlighted in this volume. Electrical Trauma serves as a new and important source of information from a variety of perspectives that contributes to the understanding of the electrical injury problem. It is suitable for clinicians in plastic surgery, intensive care and burn units and for those with an academic and research interest in the mechanisms and causes of electrical trauma.

Dermatopathology of Systemic Disease provides extensive information on the cutaneous pathologic manifestations of systemic illnesses of all kinds. Written by a pathologist and dermatologist, the book offers an interdisciplinary perspective that suggests a series of diagnostic possibilities in the context of systemic symptoms not necessarily obvious from the cutaneous findings being evaluated. Organized by disease type (i.e. Connective tissue diseases, Metabolic and Storage Diseases, Drug-Induced Processes), the book is heavily illustrated with abundant color photomicrographs and clinical images. Clinical, histologic, and pathogenetic aspects of dermatopathology are discussed.

Although genetic disorders and syndromes are usually considered rare, their aggregate frequency makes them an inescapable part of medicine. It is crucial that affected individuals, their families, and their primary and specialty care physicians have an accurate and reliable resource so that the best care possible can be provided. Furthermore, with the remarkable surge of information that has become available due to networking of researchers and families, the development of support groups, and the availability of research reports and data, it is essential for one reference to contain all of this material organized in an easy-to-use manner. Management of Genetic Syndromes fills this vital need.Through an in-depth understanding of a specific disorder, physicians and parents can help patients reach their full potential, benefit from useful therapies, and avoid complications. Management of Genetic Syndromes is written by expert authors and offers a practical approach to the evaluation and management of the 30 most common genetic syndromes from birth to adulthood. It provides information about the spectrum of variation that can occur, risk of recurrence in the affected individual's siblings and offspring, and whether prenatal diagnosis and diagnostic testing are available.Management of Genetic Syndromes incorporates a wealth of knowledge and experience with each chapter containing detailed coverage of:* Incidence* Etiology and pathogenesis* Natural history* Diagnostic criteria* Diagnostic testing* Differential diagnosis* Evaluation* Management* Reference and resourcesThis essential book will offer medical geneticists, clinical geneticists, human geneticists, pediatricians, and other health care professionals insight into treatment and management, as well as the development of new interventions and therapies.

Body Fluid Balance: Exercise and Sport brings you the latest thinking on important topics in this dynamic research area. The authors of this authoritative compendium provide enlightening data and unique perspectives that will stimulate other investigators and supply independent analyses for practitioners and educators. The book is efficiently organized into three sections:Section one addresses control of body fluid during exercise. Topics range from basic thirst mechanisms to specific organ control. Section two discusses environmental influences on body fluid balance, including heat, cold, altitude, and immersion. Section three describes special considerations affecting body fluid balance during exercise, such as age, gender, physical performance, and clinical complications. Each chapter presents historical perspectives, critical experiments, appropriate analyses, and pertinent conclusions. Nowhere else will you find the information you need in such an easy-to-follow, convenient format.

Over the past 10 years, researchers have been investigating the expression, regulation, and protective nature of stress proteins (SPs) during and following exercise. Since the expression of SPs have been shown to provide protection to cells and tissues, the importance of understanding their role during exercise cannot be understated. However the terminology, the myriad of stress proteins, and their complex regulation creates a confusing arena in which to enter. Exercise and Stress Response: The Role of Stress Proteins provides an up-to-date review on topics related to exercise and health, giving investigators the necessary background to pursue stress proteins.
