Treatise on Human Anatomy Systematic and Functional Approach VV. AA.Three volumes 22 x 28 cm - Hardcover - Total number of pages 1986 - Richly illustrated in colour Analytic index - ISBN 978-88-7051-677-7

Now in its fifth edition, the Treatise on Human Anatomy for over 40 years is the reference text for students of Degree Courses in Medicine and Surgery.

Renewed not only graphically, the Treatise on Human Anatomy offers medical students a sys-tematic and functional approach to the key discipline of their studies.

Alongside the study of the morphology of the human body and the anatomical structures, the work also includes the discussion of the elements of microscopic anatomy (histology and cytology) and embryology. Clinical and radiological aspects complete the work.

To maximize the effectiveness of the study, the work is completed with advanced digital teaching resources present on the web platform Virtual Campus, which make it interactive and complete the study of anatomy through original visual media.

Human Anatomy - Topographic ApproachVV. AA.Volume 22 x 28 cm - Hardcover - Richly illustrated in colour - Pages 764 - Analytic index ISBN 978-88-7051-710-1

Topographic anatomy is the discipline that studies the macroscopic morphology, the localiza-tion, the position, the orientation, the relationships of the organs and their projection on precise areas of the body surface in order to provide the doctor and the surgeon with all the anatomical information necessary for the clinical exploration of the patient and for the surgical approach of the organs through the superficial planes of the body. Thus, topographic anatomy arises from the need to create a practical synthesis of the morphological information of human anatomy, which therefore requires knowledge.

The clinical references, useful at a medical and surgical level, provide key information from a practical point of view, such as projections, relationships and landmarks, surgical access routes, indications for the inspection and some outlines of the main diseases that may affect the region.

The abundance and richness of the iconographic material, created to facilitate the understanding and memorization of the most significant anatomical information, make this text a useful integration for the study of Human Anatomy.

This original text of the Italian anatomical school is characterized by essentiality, practicality and alignment with the current trends in teaching for students of the new millennium.

Human Anatomy - Fundamentalswith Principles of Histology - VV. AA. Volume 22 x 28 cm - Paperback - Pages 976 - Richly illustrated in colour - ISBN 978-88-7051-651-7

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineLevent Özçakar, Martine De Muynck (eds)Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 286 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-420-9 - Price € 60,00

In recent years, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has achieved an important role not only in clinical applications (for diagnosis and management of various musculoskeletal disorders), but also in research, due to its several advantages (being convenient, inexpensive, non-invasive, repeatable, providing high-resolution dynamic and comparative imaging, and not requiring any exposure to ra-diation). As such, MSUS has increasingly become a valuable tool in the daily clinical practice of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine physicians, and – where used in a rehabilitation setting – it can significantly contribute to the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of rehabilitation patients. For these reasons, the MSUS probe can be now thought of as synonymous with the physician’s stethoscope. Additionally, scanning is quite comfortable, and sometimes even more reassuring for the patient than the physician: “seeing is believing”. In this book, aside from drawing attention to the growing issues in the agenda of PRM physicians using MSUS, the authors also discuss basic tech-nical features of the technique, and focus on the both diagnostic and interventional utility of MSUS in different health conditions involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joint lesions.

Sonographic Atlas for Common Musculoskeletal PathologiesLevent Özçakar (ed)Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 576 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-576-3 - Price € 100,00

The book “Sonographic Atlas for Common Musculoskeletal Pathologies” represents the second output of the same project that has produced “Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Physical and Rehabilita-tion Medicine”. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is user-dependent, thus it strongly needs training with a mentor and ‘maintenance’ education. Accordingly, the main purpose of this second book is to provide plenty of examples concerning the most commonly scanned musculoskeletal pathologies, and thus to fill the gap of long-term supervised education. The sections of the book are organized as regions in an anatomy atlas, i.e. starting from head and neck down to ankle and foot. In each section, the subsec-tions are arranged in accordance with the anatomical structures. There are 500 images and 20 re-lated videos, and the text is based mainly on the long figure legends, which also include clinical/physical examination findings. Importantly, while reading the book, you will see parts referred as “Expert Note” at the bottom of many pages. These comments are, for sure, the most distinguishing part of the book, because they provide valuable, practical explanations, making the readers feel as if they are revising and discussing that particular US image with an expert sitting next to them.

Ultrasound - Imaging & Guidancein Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineLevent Özçakar (ed)Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Richly illustrated in colour - ISBN 978-88-7051-698-2

This book – with 55 pertinent videos – is the 3rd product in the ‘PRM arsenal’ for US. It is very much straightforward that – while dealing with a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal diseases – phy-sicians naturally use several interventional procedures at some steps of their conservative approach. Needless to say, herein, US plays the paramount role, i.e. not only for precise guidance during those interventions but also for prompt clinical decision-making in advance. This is, by far, the reason why we have put equal emphasis on imaging and guidance in this project. Trying to include as many musculoskeletal procedures as possible – or one can imagine – we have put our “extra spin” in this interventional US textbook. A few examples would be suture injec tions, radiofrequency ablations, shockwave applications, or minor surgeries, etc.

Potential readers – Orthopaedic specialists, rehabilitation specialists, rheumatologists, physiat-rists, physiotherapists, sonographers.

Atlas of Nasal Cytologyfor the Differential Diagnosis of Nasal Diseases

Matteo GelardiVolume 21 x 29.7 cm - Hardcover - Pages 212 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-1-4675-3035-4 - Price € 60,00

Although nasal cytology is still a little used diagnostic approach, it has often proved to be decisive: it makes it possible to distinguish between different forms of rhinopathy – inflammatory from infectious, allergic from non-allergic vasomotor, and bacterial from viral and fungal forms, as well as to diagnose the presence, in the same patient, of various “overlapping” forms. It is also important to consider other important aspects that make cytology a practical diagnostic method, acces-sible to all rhinoallergology services: the simplicity and low invasiveness of the technique. This book fills a gap given that, to date, there have been no textbooks or atlases dealing with this specific topic. It sets out to contribute to acquisition of the theoretical bases of modern cytology and the correct methodological approach, as well as to improve r ecognition and interpretation of the cyto-logical changes that take place in the various diseases.

Potential readers – Otolaryngologists, allergologists, pneumologists, paediatricians.

Neurology BookNeurological Anatomy, Physiology and SemiologyLorenzo Pinessi, Salvatore Gentile, Innocenzo Rainero

Bilingual (parallel text): English-Italian - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 640 Richly illustrated two colours - ISBN 978-88-7051-363-9 - Price € 65,00

Neurology Book contains the basic knowledge (semiotics, neuroanatomy and neurophysiol-ogy) without which it is impossible and hazardous to attempt to learn and practice clinical neurol-ogy. Neurology is a complex discipline. After all, the brain, being enclosed in the cranium, cannot be examined directly. And yet neurologists can, through clinical examination alone, detect a cerebral or spinal lesion, identifying its site with millimetre precision. Neurological semiology is a vast discipline based on knowledge of the signs and/or symptoms of the different diseases of the nervous system. The diagnosis of a neurological disorder is a process of logical deduction based on the his-tory and neurological examination, as well as the instrumental investigations that may be necessary in order to confirm or refute the diagnostic hypothesis. The distinctive feature of this book is that it is bilingual – Italian text on the left hand page and English on the right. This allows Italian students, now used to using English, to strengthen their knowledge of language and the specific neurological terminology. Instead, for the foreign student doing a course in Italy, this book provides an account of “the Italian way to neurology” directly in the world’s most widely spoken language.

Potential readers – Orthopaedic specialists, rehabilitation specialists, geriatricians, neurologists, physiatrists.

Aquatic TherapyAquatic Rehabilitation Handbook

Piero Benelli, Milco Zanazzo Volume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 320 - Richly illustrated in colour ISBN 978-88-7051-518-3 - Price € 70,00

The book indicates the modes of operation and the practical applications of the various aquatic rehabilitation methods, drawing from both scientific evidence taken from the most significant publications in the field, as well as the practical experience of the authors. The text ad-dresses the many aspects of aquatic rehabilitation: from its historical background to its physiological and biomechanical principles, the preparation of protocols and work programmes to the manage-ment of patients based on their anthropometric and functional conditions, and finally the various objectives and pathologies in question. The volume places particular focus on practical applica-tions in the context of specific diseases, with continuous references focused both on the sci-entific literature and the practical experience gained by the authors in the field. The test is accom-panied by a comprehensive workbook, which includes 450 photographs of more than 120 ex-ercises designed for the various anatomical regions of the body and for various pathological situa-tions, using the latest tools.

The volume is enriched by a video section (100 videos) dedicated to aquatic exercise.

Potential readers – Rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, motor science graduates, swim teachers.

Lymphatic Drainage Theory, Basic and Applied Techniques & Decongestive Physiotherapy

Didier Tomson, Christian SchuchhardtVolume 21 x 27 cm - Hardcover - Pages 384 - Richly illustrated in full colour (580 f igures)ISBN 978-88-7051-474-2 - Price € 65,00

Manual lymph drainage is a physiokinesitherapeutic method that offers a range of possible ap-plications: it is designed to assist the body’s natural lymph drainage system, which works through the network of lymph capillaries, the lymphangiones and the main lymphatic vessels. In the first part of the book – The physical treatment of edemas: theory – the reader is given the basic informa-tion, anatomical, physiological, pathophysiological and clinical, needed in order to understand the lymphatic system and the pathological processes associated with it, the aim being to provide him or her with the instruments needed to develop an efficient therapeutic strategy. In the second part – The physical treatment of edemas: practice – the reader is provided with a wealth of illustra-tions, essential for gaining a full understanding of multilayered compression bandaging, deconges-tive exercises and, of course, manual lymph drainage techniques, and their practical application.

The volume is enriched by a video section – 28 videos – on manual lymph drainage and elastic compression bandaging techniques.

Potential readers – Specialists in rehabilitation medicine, physiotherapists, angiologists, mas-seurs.

Idiopathic Scoliosis - Conservative Treatment with Elastic Bands

Theoretical and Practical Handbook of the Rovatti Method®

Emanuele Rovatti, Marco RovattiVolume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 144 - Richly illustrated in full colour ISBN 978-88-7051-516-9 - Price € 28,00

In the treatment of scoliosis, the Rovatti Method® provides therapeutic rehabilitation professionals with a method, starting from the same theoretical concepts as the Lyon treatment, that encourages active participation from the patient as a subject in the personal process of re-education and self-correction. The Rovatti Method® works with professional-quality elastic bands of different densities and levels of resistance which are capable of “wrapping” and shaping the spine as if they were the hands of a therapist. In this way, the limits of physiotherapeutic or kinesitherapeutic treatments imposed on the therapist-patient relationship can be exceeded. This type of treatment thus makes it possible to treat multiple patients simultaneously. This results in a double advantage: it offers younger patients a corrective method that’s “easier” to accept, while working as a team; the second motivating factor is economic in nature, for those families who are in need of a challenging therapeutic process. In addition the theoretical and practical handbook offers an anthology of exercises (about 80, explained and il-lustrated) which are essential and characteristic of the Rovatti Method®, exploring the modes of execu-tion, principles, and corrective objectives. The exercises are organised into categories, according to their corrective goals, and offered to patients in relation to the risk of development of their scoliosis.

Potential readers – Rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, motor science graduates.

NeuroMuscular TapingFrom Theory to Practice David Blow Volume 21 x 27 cm - Hardcover - Pages 384 - Richly illustrated in full colour ISBN 978-1-4675-3036-1 - Price € 50,00

NeuroMuscular taping (NMT) is a technique in which adhesive strips are applied over and around muscles in order to contain and support them and to prevent excessive muscle contraction. Al-though it may look like traditional bandaging, NMT is based on a different philosophy where the aim is to ensure freedom of movement so that the muscular system can heal itself bio-mechanically.

In fact, this technique, while providing support, guarantees free range of motion and thus allows the individual to carry out any kind of physical activity; at the same time it prevents fatigue and excessive muscle contraction and promotes efficient lymphatic drainage 24 hours a day.

This book sets out the theoretical basis and different methods of NMT: adopting a mainly didactic approach, it analyses, step by step, NMT of different anatomical parts through a series of very detailed and clear colour photographs.

Potential readers – Specialists in physical medicine, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, nurses, orthopaedic technicians, motor sciences graduates, trainers.

Functional Bandaging in Orthopedic and Sports TraumatologyClaudio ZimagliaVolume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 296 - Richly illustrated in colour ISBN 978-88-7051-523-7 - Price € 45,00

The functional treatment of trauma, with regard to immobilization produced by the use of plaster casts, promotes post-traumatic recovery and facilitates the practice of preventive treat-ments and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It consists of restraint systems that use partial im-mobilisation braces or dynamic bandages capable of both protecting the injured motor structures, thereby reducing stress on the compromised area while preserving the normal functionality of the other segments, as well as eliminating the drawbacks of inactivity. The functional bandage, a dynamic restraint offering partial immobilisation capable of supporting and stabilising the various joint components, fully meets any practical needs, particularly in the sporting world. The main objec-tive of the functional bandage is the treatment of traumatic injuries with benign spontane-ous evolution: the results of muscle injuries from indirect or direct trauma, distortive capsuloliga-mentous traumatic injuries, as well as tendon damage. The work describes more than seventy different examples of the application of functional bandages with extreme clarity and effi-cacy, illustrated by over a thousand images. The description of each bandage is accompanied by a detailed indication of the musculoskeletal structure receiving treatment, a clear and concise list of materials used for each technique as well as their characteristics, specific information on their indica-tions for use, in particular in the field of prevention and rehabilitation in the sporting environment, and it is accompanied by extensive sequences of images to illustrate the individual steps used.

Potential readers – Specialists in rehabilitation medicine, orthopaedic specialists, physiothera-pists.

Aortic DissectionPatients True Stories and the Innovations that Saved their LivesGermano Melissano, Roberto Chiesa (eds)English edition - Volume 24 x 28.5 cm - Hardcover - Pages 480 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-565-7 - Price € 65,00

Aortic dissection is an exceptionally complex disease and remains one of the most misdiagnosed diseases across the globe. Therefore, it is more important than ever for physicians to build their knowledge base of this area. Although the aorta is one organ and aortic dissection is one disease, Type A aortic dissection is usually treated by cardiac surgeons, and Type B aortic dissection, by vascular surgeons. The book discusses both types for the benefit of both specialists. Moreover, the book provides a unique glimpse into the lives of the patients who suffer with this disease. In addition to scientific chapters written by the most prominent experts in the field, the book includes stories shared by aortic dissection survivors. The volume contains the most thorough and up-to-date information on this disease and its treatment. The authors have recruited as contributors all the world innovators and leaders who are advancing knowledge in the natural history and exciting new treatments of Types A and B aortic dissections. Their achievements are summarized and illus-trated in this book.

Potential readers – Cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons

Aortic ComplexitiesGermano Melissano, Roberto ChiesaEnglish edition - Volume 24 x 28.5 cm - Hardcover - Pages 528 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-663-0 - Price € 65,00

Treatments for aortic diseases have undergone explosive advances in the last decade. So too has our understanding of aortic disease processes. This progress in understanding and available treat-ments has come with the cost of increasing complexity. Roberto Chiesa and Germano Melissano have edited a unique jewel of a book which deals with the many complexities of these advances in the pathogenesis of aortic diseases, their endovascular and open treatments and the manage-ment of treatment complications. This volume, entitled Aortic Complexities, contains chapters by all those international innovators and thought leaders who have contributed the most to recent improvements in the management of aortic diseases. Accordingly it should be an invaluable up-to-date source of information for any physician or surgeon whose interests are focused on the aorta. Professor Chiesa and Professor Melissano are to be congratulated for bringing together the leading experts in the aortic arena to produce a text which provides a cutting-edge view of the current state of the art in aortic diseases and their treatment. Aortic Complexities will be a must-have volume for all libraries and for all those interested in the aorta, its newer treatments and associated com-plexities.

OrthodonticsGiampietro Farronato, Ravindra Nanda (eds) Co-editors: Cinzia Maspero, Umberto Garagiola Co-authors: Ersilia Barbato, Claudio Chimenti, Giancarlo Cordasco, Paola Cozza, Felice Festa, Aldo Bruno Giannì, Rosalia Maria Leonardi, Concepción Martín Álvaro, Letizia Perillo

Two volumes 21 x 29.7 cm - Hardcover - Pages 1222 - Richly illustrated in colour ISBN 978-88-7051-550-3 - Price € 150,00

This volume is the passionate brainchild of many hands, featuring the work of members of sev-eral notable orthodontics schools, including Milan, Chieti, L’Aquila, Madrid, Naples and Messina. The contributions from professors Ersilia Barbato, Claudio Chimenti, Giancarlo Cordasco, Paola Cozza, Felice Festa, Umberto Garagiola, Aldo Bruno Giannì, Rosalia Leonardi, Letizia Perillo, co-editor Cinzia Maspero and so many other collaborators is greatly valued.

The content of this book is based on years of experience and research on the part of profession-als from the 30-year-old Orthodontic School of Milan. Every effort is made to ensure the develop-ment of the fundamental principle on which this school is based – a concentration on a holistic approach to patient care, rather than relying on the purely mechanistic vision of most orthodontic philosophies. This volume is therefore entirely dedicated to this concept: it consists of a series of descriptive chapters focused on the global diagnosis of the different kinds of malocclusion, with detailed references to systematic relationships and to various therapeutic strategies.

The division of the chapters is meant to evaluate the evolutive progress of the orthodontic patient’s growth, investing in every step, including diagnosis, therapeutic and prognostic aspects. Particular attention is devoted to methodological innovations and the interdisciplinary aspects relating to other areas of study, in addition to dentistry.

The entire book was conceived to offer a clear delineation of the knowledge it contains, and to support the work of both those who are new to orthodontics, as well as seasoned professionals. The structured illustrative content enables users to efficiently understand the therapeutic choices available in both simple and complex clinical cases. The ultimate purpose is to provide a solid theo-retical and practical basis on which the clinician can develop the mental flexibility to face daily chal-lenges in a calm and serious manner.

Potential readers - Medical dentists, dental practitioners, orthodontists, odontostomatologists, dental technicians, dental hygienists, students of the respective degree courses and specialization.

New Trends inMyofunctional Therapy Occlusion, Muscles and Posture

Sabina Saccomanno, Licia Coceani Paskay Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Hardcover - Pages 264 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-629-6

A real understanding of the patient’s problems, leading to the preparation of an effective care plan, requires an attitude centred on a comprehensive approach: on this basis, the work examines the correlations between orofacial functions, occlusion, and posture in order to better under-stand what the correct diagnostic and therapeutic approach is to address problems of various na-tures and severities. Myofunctional therapy used in the treatment of the so-called myofunctional disorders, or abnormalities of the mobility and tone of the orofacial musculature. For this reason, in addition to orthodontic treatment emphasis is given to the use of speech therapy, otolar-yngology, posturology, and osteopathy. The discussion also focuses on issues including various specific diseases or syndromes (secretory otitis media, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, Down syndrome, etc.), which are not obviously related to orthodontic problems, but which a cranio-facial specialist needs to know in order to achieve a multidisciplinary and holistic approach suitable for complex clinical problems. The work is completed by accompanying multimedia presenting the speech therapy exercises and by a clinical diary available to be given to younger patients.

In the web area dedicated to the volume – the video The gymnasium of my mouthshows and explains myofunctional therapy exercises.

Potential readers - Dentists, orthodontists, speech therapists.

Tratado de Anatomía Humana Sistemática y Funcional VV. AA.Tres volúmenes - Tamaño 22 x 28 cm - Tapa dura - Número total de páginas 1986 Ricamente ilustrado a color - Índice analítico - ISBN 978-88-7051-678-4

Ya en su quinta edición, el Tratado de Anatomía Humana es el texto de referencia para los estudiantes de los Grados en Medicina y Cirugía desde hace más de 40 años.

Renovado no solo gráficamente, el Tratado de Anatomía Humana ofrece a los estudiantes de medicina un enfoque sistemático y funcional de la disciplina clave para sus estudios.

Junto con el estudio de la morfología del cuerpo humano y de las estructuras anatómicas, el texto también incluye la discusión de los elementos de anatomía microscópica (histología y ci-tología) y embriología. Aspectos clínicos y radiológicos completan el trabajo.

Para maximizar la eficacia del estudio, el texto se completa con recursos digitales de enseñanza avanzada presentes en la plataforma web Virtual Campus, que lo hacen interactivo y completan el estudio de la anatomía a través de medios visuales originales.

Anatomía Humana TopográficaVV. AA.Tamaño 22 x 28 cm - Tapa dura - 764 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a color - Índice analíticoISBN 978-88-7051-711-8

La anatomía topográfica es la disciplina que estudia la morfología macroscópica, la local-ización, la posición, la orientación, las relaciones de los órganos y su proyección en áreas precisas de la superficie corporal para proporcionar al médico y al cirujano toda la información anatómica necesaria para la exploración clínica del paciente y para el abordaje quirúrgico de los órganos a través de los planos superficiales del cuerpo. Así, la anatomía topográfica surge de la necesidad de crear una síntesis práctica de la información morfológica de la anatomía humana, que por lo tanto requiere conocimiento.

Las referencias clínicas, útiles a nivel médico y quirúrgico, proporcionan información clave desde un punto de vista práctico, como proyecciones, relaciones y puntos de referencia, vías de acceso quirúrgico, indicaciones para la inspección y algunos esquemas de las principales enfermedades que pueden afectar a la región.

La abundancia y riqueza del material iconográfico, creado para facilitar la comprensión y memo-rización de la información anatómica más significativa, hacen de este texto una integración útil para el estudio de la Anatomía Humana.

Este texto original de la escuela anatómica italiana se caracteriza por la esencialidad, la practici-dad y la alineación con las tendencias actuales de la enseñanza para los estudiantes del nuevo milenio.

Ecografía musculoesquelética en medicina física y rehabilitación Levent Özçakar, Martine De MuynckLuis Baerga-Varela (Editor de la Edición in Español)Tamaño 19.5 x 26 cm - Tapa blanda - 286 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a colorISBN 978-88-7051-553-4 - Precio € 60,00

En los últimos años, la ecografía musculoesquelética ha alcanzado un papel importante no sólo en las aplicaciones clínicas (para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de diversos trastornos musculoes-queléticos), sino también en la investigación, debido a sus numerosas ventajas (cómoda/conforta-ble, económica, no invasiva, repetible, proporciona imágenes dinámicas y comparables de alta re-solución y no requiere exposición a radiación). Por ello, la ecografía musculoesquelética se ha ido convirtiendo en una herramienta valiosa en la práctica clínica diaria de especialistas en Medicina Física y Rehabilitación y, cuando es utilizada en el ambiente de la rehabilitación, puede contribuir de manera significativa al algoritmo diagnóstico y terapéutico de los pacientes. Por estas razones, la sonda ecográfica se puede considerar como un sinónimo del estetoscopio del médico. Además, la exploración es bastante cómoda y, a veces, incluso más reasegurante para el paciente que el propio médico: “ver para creer”. En este libro, además de llamar la atención sobre los cre-cientes problemas en la agenda de los especialistas en Medicina Física y Rehabilitación, cuando utilizan la ecografía musculoesquelética, los autores también discuten las características técnicas básicas del procedimiento y se centran en la utilidad, tanto diagnóstica como de intervención, de la ecografía musculoesquelética en diferentes condiciones de salud relacionadas con músculos, tendones, ligamentos, nervios y lesiones articulares.

Lectores potenciales – Especialistas en ortopedia, especialistas en rehabilitación, reumatólo-gos, fisiatras, fisioterapeutas, ecografistas.

Atlas de ecografíapara Patologías Musculoesqueléticas ComunesLevent Özçakar (ed)Tamaño 19.5 x 26 cm - Tapa blanda - 576 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a colorISBN 978-88-7051-578-7 - Precio € 80,00

El libro “Atlas de ecografía para patologías musculoesqueléticas comunes” representa el segundo volumen del mismo proyecto que ha presentado “Ecografía musculoesquelética en medicina física y rehabilitación”. La ecografía musculoesquelética es operador dependiente, por lo tanto necesita de una capacitación con un mentor y “mantenimiento” de la educación. Por consiguiente, el obje-tivo principal del segundo libro es proporcionar muchos ejemplos de patologías musculoesqueléti-cas más comúnmente evaluadas y, de esta manera, cubrir la brecha de una educación supervisada a largo plazo. Las secciones del libro están organizadas como regiones en un atlas de anatomía, es decir, a partir de la cabeza y el cuello hasta el tobillo y el pie. En cada sección, las subdivisiones están organizadas de acuerdo con las estructuras anatómicas. Hay 500 imágenes y 20 videos relacionados, y el texto se basa principalmente en las largas leyendas de las figuras que incluyen también los hallazgos del examen físico/clínico. Sobre todo, a través del libro se encontrarán las denominadas “Nota del experto” al final de muchas páginas. Estos comentarios son, seguramente, las partes más distinguidas del libro porque proporcionan explicaciones prácticas valiosas, haciendo sentir a los lectores como si ellos estuvieran revisando y discutiendo esa imagen ecográfica con un experto sentado al lado de ellos.

Lectores potenciales – Especialistas en ortopedia, especialistas en rehabilitación, reumatólo-gos, fisiatras, fisioterapeutas, ecografistas.

Cicatrices: un sistema para tratarEnfoque manual Bruno Davide Bordoni, Emiliano ZanierTamaño 17 x 27 cm - Tapa blanda - 136 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a colorISBN 978-88-7051-552-7 - Precio € 20,00

Las cicatrices son el resultado del proceso de curación de cualquier herida. En un porcentaje considerable de casos pueden dar lugar a condiciones patológicas que causan dolor, trastornos funcionales o psicológicos y daños estéticos, a veces significativos. A partir desde estas con-sideraciones, el libro afronta el tratamiento de las cicatrices desde la perspectiva del sistema corporal. Es imprescindible conocer como manipular la discontinuidad de la piel y entender sus conexiones intrínsecas.

El libro incluye figuras profesionales que usan sus propias manualidades para resolver los sínto-mas asociados, directa o indirectamente, a las cicatrices. Los profesionales aprenderán varias técnicas para evaluar la evolución de la piel como resultado de la alteración, pero sobre todo para intervenir con tratamientos eficaces.

Lectores potenciales – Fisioterapeutas, especialistas en fisioterapia manual.

Escoliosis idiopática - Tratamiento conservador con bandas elásticas

Manual teórico-práctico del método Rovatti®

Emanuele Rovatti, Marco RovattiTamaño 21 x 27 cm - Tapa blanda - 144 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a color - ISBN 978-88-7051-641-8 - Precio € 28,00

En el tratamiento de la escoliosis, el método Rovatti® proporciona a los profesionales de reha-bilitación terapéutica un método, partiendo de los mismos conceptos teóricos como el tratamiento lyonnais, que fomenta la participación activa del paciente como un sujeto en el proceso personal de reeducación y autocorrección. El método Rovatti® funciona con bandas elásticas de calidad profesional de densidades diferentes y niveles de resistencia que son capaces de “envolver” y dar forma a la columna vertebral, como si fueran la manos de un terapeuta. De esta modo, los límites de los tratamientos fisioterapéuticos o kinesioterapéuticos impuestos a la relación terapeuta-pacien-te pueden ser excedidos. Así, con este tipo de tratamiento es posible tratar varios pacientes en forma simultánea. Esto da lugar a una doble ventaja: ofrece a los pacientes más jóvenes un método correctivo que es más fácil de aceptar mientras se trabaja en equipo; el segundo factor de motivación es de carácter económico, para aquellas familias que están en la necesidad de un pro-ceso terapéutico desafiante. Además, el manual teórico-práctico ofrece una antología de ejerci-cios (alrededor de 80, explicados e ilustrados) que son esenciales y característicos del método Rovatti®, explorando los modos de ejecución, principios y objetivos correctivos. Los ejercicios están organizados en categorías según sus objetivos correctivos y se ofrecen a los pacientes en relación con el riesgo de desarrollo de su escoliosis.

Lectores potenciales – Especialistas en rehabilitación, fisioterapeutas, graduados en ciencias motoras.

La inteligencia en el movimientoBases del movimiento humano, percepción, propiocepción, control posturalKatia Francesconi, Giovanni Gandini Tamaño 19.5 x 26 cm - Tapa blanda - 528 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a color ISBN 978-88-7051-567-1 - Precio € 45,00

El movimiento humano no es sólo el resultado de la fuerza o de la capacidad de resistir. No se limita a la tensión del músculo o al esfuerzo de la estructura ósea. Más bien, en primer lugar, es expresado como un proceso del cerebro, una decisión personal, una expresión de la inteligencia motora, que se manifiestan a través de la mejor sinergia, el equilibrio perfecto y la actitud más funcional. Es interesante descubrir los mecanismos con los cuales el sistema nervioso, mediante las estructuras centrales y periféricas, aprende el movimiento y lo gobierna. El texto profundiza en los aspectos neurofisiológicos que regulan el movimiento, explorando el estado del arte y examinando las metodologías más interesantes, incluso aquellas en el ámbito tecnológico. Sobre esta base, se proponen secuencias didácticas (450 ejercicios ilustrados) finalizadas a objetivos específicos de percepción, propiocepción y control postural a través de una gama de propuestas intermedias que involucran las capacidades motoras, con el fin de reeducar o entrenar la movilidad articular, la estabilidad y la fuerza sin prescindir del control neuromotor o postural. Son ejemplos ricos de variables de ejecución, frecuentemente transferibles a las acciones cotidianas o deportivas.

El volumen se enriquece con una sección de video (49 videos) que sirven para ejempli-ficar la ejecución de algunos movimientos y permiten de probar en primera persona algu-nas experiencias perceptivas.

Lectores potenciales – Graduados en ciencias motoras, fisioterapeutas, especialistas en medi-cina física y rehabilitación.

Vendaje funcional en traumatología ortopédica y deportivaClaudio ZimagliaTamaño 21 x 27 cm - Tapa blanda - 296 páginas - Ricamente ilustrado a color ISBN 978-88-7051-573-2 - Precio € 45,00

El tratamiento funcional del trauma, respecto a la inmovilización producida por el uso de moldes de yeso, promueve la recuperación post-traumática y facilita la práctica de tratamientos preventivos y de rehabilitación musculoesquelética. Consiste de sistemas de retención que utilizan fijadores de inmovilización parcial o vendajes dinámicos capaces de proteger las estructuras motoras lesionadas, reduciendo de este modo la tensión en el área comprometida preservando al mismo tiempo la funcionalidad normal de los otros segmentos, así como eliminado los inconvenien-tes de la inactividad. El vendaje funcional, una contención dinámica que ofrece inmovilización parcial capaz de soportar y estabilizar los diversos componentes comunes, cubre completamente cualquier necesidad práctica, particularmente en el mundo del deporte. El objetivo principal del vendaje fun-cional es el tratamiento de lesiones traumáticas con evolución espontánea benigna: los resultados de lesiones musculares de trauma indirecto o directo, lesiones traumáticas capsuloliga-mentosas distorsionadas, así como el daño del tendón. La obra describe más de 70 ejemplos di-ferentes de aplicación del vendaje funcional con extrema claridad y eficacia, ilustradas por más de mil imágenes. La descripción de cada vendaje es acompañada por una indicación detallada de la estructura musculoesquelética que recibe el tratamiento, una lista clara y concisa de materiales usados para cada técnica así como sus características, información específica sobre sus indicaciones para el uso, en particular en el campo de la prevención y rehabilitación en el ambiente deportivo, y es acompañada por secuencias extensas de imágenes para ilustrar los pasos individuales usados.

Lectores potenciales – Especialistas en medicina de rehabilitación, especialistas ortopédicos, fisioterapeutas.

Trattato di Anatomia umana, 5a ed. Giuseppe Anastasi et al.

(Treatise on Human Anatomy. Systematic and Functional Approach, 5th Ed.)Italian edition - Three volumes 22 x 28 cm - Hardcover - Total number of pages 1986Richly illustrated in colour - Analytic index - ISBN 978-88-7051-539-8

Now in its fifth edition, the Treatise on Human Anatomy for over 40 years is the reference text for students of Degree Courses in Medicine and Surgery.

Renewed not only graphically, the Treatise on Human Anatomy offers medical students a sys-tematic and functional approach to the key discipline of their studies.

Alongside the study of the morphology of the human body and the anatomical structures, the work also includes the discussion of the elements of microscopic anatomy (histology and cytology) and embryology. Clinical and radiological aspects complete the work.

To maximize the effectiveness of the study, the work is completed with advanced digital teaching resources present on the web platform Virtual Campus, which make it interactive and complete the study of anatomy through original visual media.

Anatomia umana - TopograficaAA. VV.

(Human Anatomy - Topographic Approach)Italian edition - Volume 22 x 28 cm - Hardcover - Richly illustrated in colour - Pages 764 - Analytic index ISBN 978-88-7051-540-4

Topographic anatomy is the discipline that studies the macroscopic morphology, the localiza-tion, the position, the orientation, the relationships of the organs and their projection on precise areas of the body surface in order to provide the doctor and the surgeon with all the anatomical information necessary for the clinical exploration of the patient and for the surgical approach of the organs through the superficial planes of the body. Thus, topographic anatomy arises from the need to create a practical synthesis of the morphological information of human anatomy, which therefore requires knowledge.

The clinical references, useful at a medical and surgical level, provide key information from a practical point of view, such as projections, relationships and landmarks, surgical access routes, in-dications for the inspection and some outlines of the main diseases that may affect the region.

The abundance and richness of the iconographic material, created to facilitate the understanding and memorization of the most significant anatomical information, make this text a useful integration for the study of Human Anatomy.

This original text of the Italian anatomical school is characterized by essentiality, practicality and alignment with the current trends in teaching for students of the new millennium..

Anatomia funzionale e Imaging Sistema locomotore Manrico Morroni

(Functional Anatomy and Imaging - Locomotor system)Italian edition - Volume 22 x 28 cm - Paperback - Pages 400 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-535-0 - Price € 45,00

“Functional Anatomy and Imaging - Locomotor System” is a text that connects the contents of the anatomy to the kinesiology, namely the science that study the rational human movement in all of his forms. The approach to the presentation of the osteology, the arthrology and the myol-ogy is propaedeutic to the study of the kinesiology: hence, the anatomical description and the analysis of the movements associated.

In order to emphasize the importance of solid anatomical bases in the clinical practice, short clinical references have been inserted and bioimaging (computed tomography and magnetic reso-nance imaging) with high teaching quality, concerning certain regions of the locomotor system, have been used.

Anatomia microscopica - AtlanteManrico Morroni

(Microscopic Anatomy - Atlas)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Paperback - Page 592 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-388-2 - Price € 57,00

The study of microscopic anatomy requires an in-depth knowledge and assiduous work with histo-logical preparations: one must know how to interpret and recognise what is being seen with the mi-croscope, while learning how to differentiate one organ from another despite their similar organisation (differential diagnosis). The objectives of the Atlas of Microscopic Anatomy are: to reproduce the labo-ratory experience, each structure presented on a single plane at different magnifications of optical and electron microscopy; to allow for simple and immediate reference, with accompanying tables and text on the adjacent pages. The structure or organ treated is clearly identified: the origin of the section, the type of staining and microscope (electronic, transmission, scanning).

The morphology and organisation of the organ (or tissue) are described, references to biology and physiology are included to highlight the relationship between form and function. Tables and concise summaries are used to describe the criteria for differential diagnosis.

The richness and quality of microscopic images are provided by more than 600 drawings, original colour photomicrographs and electron micrographs of human tissues (95% of the images were taken of sections of human organs, many of which are rare and difficult to obtain). This allows to have a fast and clear shift from a detailed view at a low magnification to that of a higher magnification, typical of electron microscopy. From an overview to a zoomed cell image to highlight its organular pattern with descriptive and clarifying texts.

The web platform – Virtual Campus – an innovation in the world of microscopic anatomy at-lases, assembles a rich assortment of educational materials: • interactive presentations about microscopic anatomy • videos with commentary • online lectures and workshops • self-assessment tests.

(Biology • Cell and Tissue • 2nd Edition)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Paperback - Pages 712 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-400-1 - Price € 68,00

What is the cause of biodiversity? The answer lies in the concept of multilevel and hierarchical organisation by which shared components are associated to form stable structures of ever-increas-ing size and complexity, whose properties cannot be deduced through the study of the single components. In the human body, for example, the association of macromolecules results in the formation of subcellular organelles, which, in turn, join to give rise to cells. The association of cells gives rise to tissues, whose assembly results in the creation of organs. Our body is thus a multilevel, hierarchical system, or rather an association of subsystems within a system.

The subdivision into two sections – cell biology and tissue biology – and the graphics used make this text a useful and flexible study aid. It complies with the new teaching requirements in sev-eral spheres of university study – biotechnology, biological sciences and environmental sciences – where the approach to and the space devoted to the study of cell biology and tissue biology can vary.

The web platform – Virtual Campus – represents a breakthrough in field of Cytology and Histol-ogy texts and presents a rich catalogue of interactive educational materials. To navigate through these resources, students can take advantage of guided and interactive courses presented in a les-son format. The platform’s contents include: • interactive views of histological slides using a virtual microscope• commentated videos• online lectures and workshops• predefined evaluation tests and self-assessments.

Neurology Book Clinica e terapia (Clinic and Therapy)Lorenzo Pinessi, Salvatore Gentile, Innocenzo RaineroItalian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 688 Richly illustrated two colours - ISBN 978-88-7051-488-9 - Price € 65,00

Neurology Book systematically investigates neurological diseases knowledge. Aware of the impor-tance of “signs” in neurology, the Authors emphasize the clinical aspects of diseases, correlating them, in a holistic Hippocratic vision, with anatomo-physiological, neuropathological, neuroradio-logical, neurochemical, and molecular genetic aspects. The volume analyzes neurological pathol-ogy, clinic and therapy: the Authors’ didactic-scientific experience and fieldwork (hospitals, emer-gency rooms, surgeries) have allowed the selection of the most relevant and salient information for clinical practice, giving a very pragmatic touch to the topics dealt with. Furthermore, a wide ichno-graphic material supports the clarity of style, leitmotif of the entire book. It is thus possible to answer fundamental questions for a physician who is treating a neurological patient: is there a neurological disease, where is the lesion and which disease are we dealing with?

Potential readers – Orthopaedic specialists, rehabilitation specialists, geriatricians, neurologists, physiatrists.

Sulla strada che porta all’UomoDagli Insettivori a Homo sapiens: le progressive innovazioni evolutive che hanno portato all’UomoDario Cremaschi(On the road to man - From Insectivores to Homo sapiens: the progressive evolutionary innovations that have led to Man)Italian edition - Volume 17 x 24 cm - Paperback - Pages 422 - IllustratedISBN 978-88-7051-687-6 - Price € 39,00

How did we move from Insectivores that became arboreal to Homo sapiens? A 66 million years path. In this volume, the Author has summarized physiology and paleoanthropology to describe how, through a series of evolutionary innovations, from small insectivores we have reached to man, with progressive changes in appearance and functioning.

The topics covered range from the first functional evolutionary innovations of animals (the first insectivores that climbed the trees) and the first changes in appearance (Primates: prosimians, monkeys and anthropomorphic monkeys), which then led to bipedalism and the functionality of the hand (Australopithecines) to an increase in brain capacity and mental power (volume, brain organi-zation and intelligence) that have allowed the development of tools for speaking, language and communication, concrete and abstract thinking, up to the attribution of meaning (mirror neurons) and which led to the genus Homo.

L’intelligenza nel movimento Percezione, propriocezione, controllo posturaleKatia Francesconi, Giovanni Gandini

(Intelligence in Motion - Perception, Self-awareness, Postural Control)Italian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 528 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-422-3 - Price € 65,00

Human movement is not simply a product of force or the ability to resist it. It is not limited to the ten-sion of muscles or stress on the skeleton. Rather, it is expressed firstly as a process of the brain, a per-sonal decision, or an expression of motor intelligence, manifested through the greatest synergy, perfect equilibrium, and a functional attitude. It is fundamental to discover the mechanisms with which the nervous system, via its central and peripheral structures, learns and governs movement. The text expands upon the neurophysiological aspects that regulate movement, explores the state-of-the-art, and examines the most interesting methodologies, including those in the technological realm. Then de-cidedly practical arguments are developed by way of proposed didactic sequences (450 illustrated exercises) aimed at specific objectives of perception, self-awareness, and postural control through a range of intermediate recommendations involving motor abilities, with the overall result of reeducating or training joint movement, stability, and strength without overlooking neuromotor and postural control. Rich examples of procedural variables are illustrated and often translatable to daily or sport-related actions.

The volume is enriched by a video section (49 videos) dedicated to experiential anatomy, useful for the proper learning of perceptual experience.

Potential readers – Motor science graduates, physiotherapists, posturologists.

Muoversi per non subire il tempoTeoria, metodologia e didattica dell’attività motoria per la terza etàKatia Francesconi, Giovanni Gandini(Keep Moving to Counter the Passing of Time Motor Activity for Older People: Theory, Methodology and Teaching)Italian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Hardcover - Pages 352 - Richly illustrated in full colourISBN 978-88-7051-301-1 - Price € 55,00

In older people, the right amount of regular physical activity helps to keep the functions working ef-ficiently and to delay the onset of the negative effects of time. It is a question of radically altering life-styles and creating a new culture in which movement is once again seen as an integral part of life. “Keep Moving to Counter the Passing of Time” provides a programmatic framework: the volume sets out the correct approach to motor activity in older people, considering theoretical, methodological and teaching aspects. How and why we counter the effects of time: the book contains over 700 exerciseideas for achieving psychosocial objectives aimed at putting the body once more at the centre of our relations with others, psychomotor objectives aimed at consolidating our understanding of our own bodies, and physiological objectives to optimize movement, rendering it efficient and economical.

Potential readers – Motor sciences graduates, physiotherapists, health care workers.

(Human Physiology - Elements)Italian edition - Volume 22 x 28 cm - Paperback - Pages 416 - Richly illustrated in colour ISBN 978-88-7051-543-5 - € 48,00

Physiology is fundamental for many degree courses and aims to study the mechanisms underly-ing the functioning of the different organs and systems of the human body, propaedeutic to the study of clinical disciplines. In this volume are presented the most up-to-date knowledge of the subject in a complete but at the same time concise manner, making every effort possible so that the conciseness did not compromise the student’s understanding of a subject that is certainly not easy. The graphic layout and the structure of the book were, in fact, designed to encourage and stimulate the student’s learning path in understanding the various topics, with an integrated and applicative view of the physiological processes through the insertion in the text of numerous in-depth clinical boxes. The iconographic apparatus consists of images, diagrams, graphs and flow-charts designed to support the various phases of the study and to facilitate visual learning. The student will be able to test the actual understanding of the individual topics thanks to the numerous exercises present at the end of each chapter.

(Physiology)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Paperback - Pages 800 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-378-3 - Price € 70,00

The aim of “Physiology”, which draws on the experience gained in a larger work, is to offer stu-dents a compact reference source for studying the mechanisms underlying the functioning of living beings, particularly in the animal kingdom, focusing particularly on the fundamental pro-cesses that constitute the molecular and cellular bases of physiological functions even seemingly remote from one another.

The topics are dealt with in the following order: molecular and cellular bases, and their relative interactions, followed by an exploration of functions and organ systems. This progression from the microscopic to the macroscopic makes it possible to deal initially with a series of elementary pro-cesses which are subsequently re-encountered in action, contributing to the realisation of complex physiological functions.

The text is enriched by the dedicated website Virtual Campus where it is possible to find numer-ous detailed and specific studies in different areas: molecular biophysics, comparative physiology, applied research, pathophysiology, history of science. These digital contents – divided into Topics, Labs, Tests, Lectures, Video/Media, Professor’s Area – can be adapted as appropriate, since they also include resources of different types linked to self-assessment tests, useful for evaluating the level of preparation.

(From Abyss to Space - Environment and Human Limits)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Hardcover - Pages 336 - Richly illustratedISBN 978-88-7051-312-7 - Price € 60,00

This book covers a specific chapter of integrative physiology, which is usually neglected in physiology textbooks, and which has received little attention in the past as a dedicated subject of publication. Nice deep textbooks of altitude medicine or aviation and space medicine or div-ing medicine can be found, that cover the needs of highly specialised clinicians and investigators. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the subject of human adaptation to special environments is proposed and treated in a comprehensive yet rigorous manner for the sake of a wider audience. The text acknowledges historical contributions, provides up-to-date infor-mation, describes separately basic and/or historical notions perhaps less treated than needed in classical textbooks, provides significant bibliographic material for a deeper study of the treated subjects, establishes continuous bridges between practice and physiological knowledge, and high-lights special contributions from Italian investigators and institutions.

La locomozione umana su terra, in acqua, in aria, 2a ed. Fatti e teorie - Pietro Enrico di Prampero(Human Locomotion on Land, in Water and in Air - Facts and Theories - 2nd Edition)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Paperback - Pages 224 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-476-6 - Price € 38,00

Thirty years after the first edition, appreciated all around the world and translated also into Japanese, this new edition of professor Pietro E. di Prampero largely follows its track, leaving an-other fundamental contribution to human locomotion science. In this second edition, besides updating and expanding on several subjects of energetics and biomechanics of human locomotion, new topics are presented: energetic cost of running in acceleration and deceleration, energetic analy-sis of world records in swimming and flat running, construction of a structure that allows to achieve maximum absolute velocity on human-powered vehicles, analysis of natural gait in patients affected by neurological pathologies, or after hip or knee prosthesis. Whoever is curious about the mecha-nisms of locomotion finds in this book the essential notions on the extremely fascinating “human machine”: after a close examination of the fundamental biochemical and thermodynamic mecha-nisms of muscle contraction and energetics of muscle work, according to age and sex, the book dis-cusses human locomotion on land, in water and in air (heel-and-toe walk and running, speed skating and cycling; swimming, rowing, canoeing, kayaking, gondola and bissa; human-powered flying).

La disfagia nelle gravi cerebrolesioni acquisiteRespira, parla, mangia e AMAAngela Marchese (ed)

(Dysphagia in severe acquired brain injury - Breathe, speak, eat and LOVE )Italian edition - Volume 17 x 24 cm - Paperback - Pages 212 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-688-3 - Price € 25,00

There are gestures, functions, movements that are carried out naturally, automatically and without thinking about the complexity that they presuppose: among them breathing, swallowing and speaking.

When the organism is affected by neurological, degenerative or traumatic pathologies, as in the case of severe acquired brain injury (ABI), the automatism ceases or becomes weak.

Patients with ABI outcomes are highly complex to manage. The medical-clinical-assistance reaction results in a replacement of vital functions, paying particular attention to the improvement of dysphagia.

In the volume, this topic is examined in detail, shedding light on the main critical issues and pro-posing therapeutic and rehabilitation interventions. All aspects are examined, from anatomical-physiological to psychological, focusing on those of treatment.

Ample space is reserved for the rehabilitative value of food and the multidisciplinary experience of the “Centro Adelphi” in the context of Kitchen Training.

A rich collection of culinary recipes aimed at patients suffering from dysphagia of various levels completes the work.

Mobilizzazione, valutazione e movimentazione del paziente Guida praticaMarco Tramontano, Alessandro Antonio Princi, Jacopo Piermaria

(Mobilization, Evaluation and Handling of the Patient - Practical Guide)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 96 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-625-8 - Price € 25,00

A useful and practical guide for healthcare professionals as well as for students of un-dergraduate courses in physiotherapy and nursing and courses for personal care assistant.

More than 80 images on mobilization, evaluation and handling techniques and 74 com-mented videos in the dedicated web area - Learning on cloud - to support and facilitate the learning of practical procedures.

The correct mobilization and handling of the patient are peculiar aspects in the clinical risk management. The safe execution of these procedures - for the patient and for the professional - turns out to be a determining factor in the quality of care and one of the priority objectives of the rehabilitation health facilities.

The clinical decision-making process is strongly influenced by the evaluation strate-gies that also include manual contact with the patient: a globally oriented evaluation, the correct approach of the operator to joint mobilization and handling of the patient favor a greater acquisition of information for patient management.

The implementation and development of effective interventions allow a greater understanding of critical issues and organizational limits, promoting proactive behavior towards the preven-tion of risk and adverse events, with a consequent reduction in management costs.

(Knee - Rehabilitation Handbook)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 432 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-492-6 - Price € 70,00

The knee is one of the joints most often subject to direct and indirect trauma; it is affected by postural alterations and problems causing an early wear of knee structures.

In this rehabilitation handbook, written by physiatrists and physiotherapists who daily collaborate in clinical activities, both the individual rehabilitative project and the individual rehabilita-tive program for different pathologies are explained in details. Each chapter is richly illustrated, with anatomical drawings and pictures specifically made to explain evaluation tests and exercises to be performed. The volume includes more than 170 illustrated and commentated exercises for knee rehabilitation, to be performed in a gym or in water.

The book is completed by a dedicated web area – Learning on Cloud – where you can find 65 commentated videos relative to the evaluation tests and exercises to perform both in the gym and in the pool.

Therefore, this book represents a useful problem-solving tool to deal with everyday situations – in hospitals, clinics or rehabilitation gyms.

Potential readers - Physiatrists, orthopedics, physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists.

Incontinenza urinaria femminileDonatella Giraudo, Gianfranco Lamberti

(Female Urinary Incontinence)Italian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 160 - Illustrated in full colorISBN 978-88-7051-303-5 - Price € 39,00

Urinary incontinence is a disorder associated not only with embarrassment and a sense of shame, but also with a general lack of information and a reluctance to seek medical help.

This book focuses on the main form of incontinence, i.e. non-neurogenic stress incontinence, a disorder frequently observed in women. It covers the main approaches to assessment and reha-bilitation, particularly clinical assessment with a view to the development of an effective rehabilita-tion programme. The book is richly illustrated and has numerous flowcharts which clarify the ap-proach. Kinesitherapy should be regarded as the most important means at the disposal of the reha-bilitation therapist. This is an approach that, in respect of the different and complex synergies be-tween organs, systems and functions, demands the use of truly global therapeutic exercise. Kine-sitherapy is supported by biofeedback techniques, particularly telemetric procedures, for the evaluation and treatment of functions in the context of daily life. Finally, the real significance of functional electrical stimulation is assessed.

Potential readers – Specialists in physical medicine, neurologists, gynecologists, physiothera-pists, nurses.

Incontinenza urinaria maschileDonatella Giraudo, Gianfranco Lamberti

(Male Urinary Incontinence)Italian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26 cm - Paperback - Pages 160 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-456-8 - Price € 39,00

Urinary incontinence is a relevant difficulty for all who suffer from it. The physical unwellness created by the affliction is often accompanied by feelings of embarrassment, as well as by a gen-eral lack of information and a reluctance to talk about it with a doctor. In reality, it is important to change perspective: there exists no “syndrome” of incontinence, but rather a person affected by incontinence. In males, the most frequently encountered situation is incontinence following radical prostatectomy. The book, after discussing the anatomical characteristics of the male pelvic-perineal region, focuses in detail on the various phases of a person’s pre- and post-operative rehabilitation progress, beginning with evaluation methods and ending with treatment and rehabilitative exercises. Each of these topics is illustrated by a rich supply of images and flowcharts, which are indispensible for an effective and clear understanding of the method.

The text introduces varied instruments at the disposition of the rehabilitator, including biofeed-back and functional electrical stimulation.

The volume is enriched by a video section dedicated to evaluation techniques and rehabilitation exercises (20 videos).

Potential readers – Rehabilitation specialists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses.

La seduta in carrozzinaDalla biomeccanica della postura alla meccanica del mezzoAlberto Lissoni

(Sitting in a Wheelchair - From the Biomechanics of Posture to the Mechanics of the Equipment)Italian edition - Volume 19.5 x 26.5 cm - Paperback - Pages 176 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-402-5 - Price € 25,00

The life of a disabled person entails many hours sitting in a wheelchair. If one is to successfully accept this condition, it is essential that he or she can remain seated for as long and as comfortably as possible, do the things one wants to do, move without impediments, feel less tired in the after-noon, and have less pain in one’s back, shoulders, neck, etc. In this theoretical-practical manual, the Author – a physiatrist with ‘a screwdriver in hand’ who has always strived to seek out practical solu-tions – summarises his years of experience and teaching on this subject, providing thorough expla-nations for the various issues in the search for possible answers for people in wheelchairs. The text clearly and comprehensively explains the biomechanical aspects of a “normal” seated position, in light of pathological conditions, and of the mechanics of wheelchairs and their functional units and components, which are affected by problems relating to mobility and means of propulsion. The volume contains schematic iconography of great practical use for clarifying the various topics it addresses, as well as two evaluation cards to guide you in the selection of the most appropriate wheelchair for a particular patient.

Potential readers – Physiatrists, physiotherapists, orthopaedic technicians.

Vertigini Diagnosi differenziale e trattamentoDario Carlo Alpini

(Vertigo - Differential Diagnosis and Treatment)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 27 cm - Paperback - Pages 192 - Richly illustrated in colourISBN 978-88-7051-604-3 - Price € 45,00

Vertigo is a widely diffused symptom in the population with a prevalence of 10-35%, according to the cases and populations, and an incidence of 3%. It is often attributed to cervical problems but in reality the cervical vertigo represents only 1% of the cases.

What is the relationship between vertigo and cervical column? And how the otoliths are inserted in this relation?

The book aims to explain these relationships, showing how to diagnose and treat the true cervical vertigo, but also the vertigo of different origin.

Ischemia midollare in chirurgia aortica Strategie e protocolli clinici per la prevenzione e il trattamento

Germano Melissano · Andrea L. Kahlberg (eds)

(Spinal Cord Ischemia in Aortic Surgery - Clinical strategies and protocols for prevention and treatment )Italian edition - Volume 16.5 x 23,5 cm - Spiral-bound - Pages 190 ISBN 88-7051-700-2 - Price € 40,00

Thoracoabdominal aortic surgery is performed at the Vascular Surgery Unit of the San Raffaele Hospital with passion and success for over 30 years, during which there has been a radical change in the available technologies and techniques used in these patients. The results have improved enormously, despite the fact that the patient population includes older and clinically compromised subjects.

One thing, however, has remained unchanged: the concern not only of surgeons, but also of the entire team for the potential neurological complications of aortic surgery. In particular, spinal cord ischemia and the resulting neurological syndrome, characterized by paraplegia and the associated comorbid conditions, has a decisive impact on the survival and, especially, on the quality of life of subjects undergoing these procedures.

It is therefore with great pleasure that we present this volume, small in size but important for the relevance of the topic and for the efforts made. The hope is that it can be received with great inter-est and can be of help to the Centers, which approach the treatment of patients with thoracoab-dominal aortic disease, in the development of rational protocols for the prevention of spinal cord ischemia.

OrtognatodonziaGiampietro Farronato Co-editor: Cinzia MasperoCo-authors: Claudio Chimenti, Giancarlo Cordasco, Felice Festa, Aldo Bruno Giannì, Concepción Martín Álvaro, Letizia Perillo

(Orthodontics)Two volumes 21 x 29.7 cm - Hardcover - Pages 1222 - Richly illustrated in colour ISBN 978-88-7051-369-1 - Price € 220,00

This volume is the passionate brainchild of many hands, featuring the work of members of several notable orthodontics schools, including Milan, Chieti, L’Aquila, Madrid, Naples and Mes-sina. The contributions from professors Ersilia Barbato, Claudio Chimenti, Giancarlo Cordasco, Paola Cozza, Felice Festa, Umberto Garagiola, Aldo Bruno Giannì, Rosalia Leonardi, Letizia Perillo, co-editor Cinzia Maspero and so many other collaborators is greatly valued.

The content of this book is based on years of experience and research on the part of profes-sionals from the 30-year-old Orthodontic School of Milan. Every effort is made to ensure the development of the fundamental principle on which this school is based – a concentration on a holistic approach to patient care, rather than relying on the purely mechanistic vision of most orthodontic philosophies. This volume is therefore entirely dedicated to this concept: it consists of a series of descriptive chapters focused on the global diagnosis of the different kinds of malocclusion, with detailed references to systematic relationships and to various therapeu-tic strategies.

The division of the chapters is meant to evaluate the evolutive progress of the orthodon-tic patient’s growth, investing in every step, including diagnosis, therapeutic and prognostic aspects. Particular attention is devoted to methodological innovations and the interdisciplin-ary aspects relating to other areas of study, in addition to dentistry.

The entire book was conceived to offer a clear delineation of the knowledge it contains, and to support the work of both those who are new to orthodontics, as well as seasoned profes-sionals. The structured illustrative content enables users to efficiently understand the therapeu-tic choices available in both simple and complex clinical cases. The ultimate purpose is to provide a solid theoretical and practical basis on which the clinician can develop the mental flexibility to face daily challenges in a calm and serious manner.

Potential readers - Medical dentists, dental practitioners, orthodontists, odontostomatolo-gists, dental technicians, dental hygienists, students of the respective degree courses and specialization.

Transverse Sagittal Maxillary Expanderper il trattamento dell’ipoplasia mascellareGiampietro Farronato (ed)

(Transverse Sagittal Maxillary Expanderfor the Treatment of Maxillary Hypoplasia)Italian edition - Volume 21 x 29.7 cm - Paperback - Pages 144 - Richly illustrated in colour (300 images) Clinical cases - ISBN 978-88-7051-427-8 - Price € 42,00

One of the most frequently occurring skeletal deformities in the craniofacial region is hypo-plasia of the superior maxillary bone in the three spatial planes. In order to allow for the balanced development of the entire stomatognathic apparatus, it is recommended that this deformity be treated as early as possible. Palate expansion has been demonstrated to be a valid and effective technique. It not only allows the reestablishment of the proper transverse dimensions of the superior maxillary bone, but also corrects any dental and respiratory anoma-lies, guaranteeing proper execution of the multiple stomatognathic functions. The text focuses on the Transverse Sagittal Maxillary Expander (TSME), a device specifically designedfor the treatment of superior maxillary hypoplasia. This piece of equipment works both sagit-tally and transversely, making dental alveolar movement at the premaxilla and the upper inci-sors, with a consequent decrease in vertical osseous substance of the maxilla and an increase in the same on the other spatial planes. The book demonstrates the versatility of this device, describing variants that may be carried out in relation to the specific needs of an individual patient.

Potential readers – Dentists, orthodontists.

Il catalogo medico si è arricchito nel corso degli anni di numerosi testi specialistici, molti dei quali ad alto livello, ap-prezzati in Italia e all’estero: dalla Fisiologia all’Anatomia, dall’Istologia alla Biologia.I testi universitari sono arricchiti da un’ampia offerta di risorse digitali disponibili sulla piattaforma Virtual Campus: approfondimenti, animazioni, lezioni on line e test di autovalutazione.Da alcuni anni la casa editrice sta profondendo notevoli sforzi e ingenti investimenti nel settore della formazione sia residenziale sia a distanza.Nell’ambito della formazione residenziale organizza corsi e convegni per i professionisti della Sanità nell’ambito del programma ECM del Ministero della Salute e della Regione Lombardia.Per quanto riguarda la FAD, oltre a utilizzare i tradizionali strumenti propri del mondo editoriale, Edi.Ermes ha imple-mentato una piattaforma per erogare contenuti via web permettendo una fruizione dei contenuti asincrona e assis-tita da tutor didattici e da un sevizio di help desk tecnico.Le profonde radici nel mondo scientifico italiano, la oltre quarantennale esperienza di comunicazione scientifica e tec-nica a diversi livelli, la tenacia nel perseguire la strada dell’editoria indipendente e di qualità costituiscono tutt’uno con la serietà dell’impegno imprenditoriale nei confronti di Autori e Lettori.
