  The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images

  5,300.00₹ 3,300.00₹

  Portions of the book have been presented at both the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America, 2003) meeting and the ARRS (American Roentgen Ray Society, 2004) meeting. Awards were given to one of the two exhibits shown at each meeting, with the award at the ARRS being very prestigious (a ‘silver medal’). At the 2004 ARRS meeting there were 229 exhibits presented. One gold medal, three silver medals, six bronze medals and 30 certificates of merit were awarded. The exhibits were also chosen for submission to Radiographics (which was declined, as there were copyright issues). Other sections of the book have been submitted for presentation at the 2004 RSNA meeting, and if accepted there, will also be submitted to the 2005 ARRS meeting.

  The Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of Personality

  11,900.00₹ 7,700.00₹
  One of the major neuropsychological models of personality, developed by world-renowned psychologist Professor Jeffrey Gray, is based upon individual differences in reactions to punishing and rewarding stimuli. This biological theory of personality – now widely known as ‘Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory’ (RST) – has had a major influence on motivation, emotion and psychopathology research. In 2000, RST was substantially revised by Jeffrey Gray, together with Neil McNaughton, and this revised theory proposed three principal motivation/emotion systems: the ‘Fight-Flight-Freeze System’ (FFFS), the ‘Behavioural Approach System’ (BAS) and the ‘Behavioural Inhibition System’ (BIS). This is the first book to summarise the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of personality and bring together leading researchers in the field. It summarizes all of the pre-2000 RST research findings, explains and elaborates the implications of the 2000 theory for personality psychology and lays out the future research agenda for RST.

  Therapy for Ocular Angiogenesis: Principles and Practice

  14,350.00₹ 4,790.00₹

  Ocular angiogenesis, or the abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye, is the cause of major neovascular eye diseases. In addition, retinal and choroidal neovascularization are the major causes of vision loss in this country. With the new era of anti-angiogenic therapies already in practice, ophthalmologists have started treating many ocular diseases including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vascular occlusion using anti-angiogenic drugs.

  Therapy for Ocular Angiogenesis: Principles and Practice covers the basic pathophysiology of ocular angiogenesis and strategies for inhibition. The authors discuss the “Principles” of anti-angiogenic therapy, pre-clinical studies, future drugs on the horizon, drug delivery, and the “Practice” of the therapy in many ocular diseases. Vision researchers in both academia and industry, as well as clinician scientists, have contributed chapters on different aspects of the angiogenic process, and clinical strategies to fight it. The book also includes chapters that deal with diabetic macular edema, and various therapeutic options for this condition.

  Ultrasonic Energy for Cutting, Coagulating and Dissecting

  16,700.00₹ 9,999.00₹

  Ultrasonic energy can be applied to surgical instruments for cutting, dissecting, and coagulating vessels and/or tissue. This book presents the use of ultrasound energy as it is used in UltraCision products, for use in surgery on many parts of the body.

  Principles of UltraCision technology: The instruments are attached to a hand piece, which is connected to a generator. The ultrasonic system is situated inside the hand piece and transforms the electric energy into mechanical movement, producing in this way longitudinal vibrations of the blades at approx. 55 kHz per second. The movement of the blades causes collagen molecules to vibrate inside the tissues, thus forming a coagulum upon their denaturation. This method is especially useful in parenchymatous organs, where dissection can be performed cleanly and with little or no bleeding.
