This brilliant medical books pocket guide helps you to grasp the connection between three-dimensional organ systems and their two-dimensional representation in ultrasound imaging. Through dynamic illustrations and clarifying text, it allows you to: – Recognize, name, and confidently locate all organs, landmarks, and anatomical details of the abdomen -Examine all standard planes, including transverse and longitudinal scans for regions of sonographic interest (including the thyroid gland) – Understand topographic relationships of organs and structures in all three spatial planes This invaluable text is ideal for the beginner, providing a rapid orientation to all key topics. It includes: – Over 250 fully labeled image quartets, each showing: the preferred location of the transducer on the body; the resulting image; a labeled drawing of the image, keyed to anatomic structures; and a small 3-D drawing showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. – Body markers with information on transducer handling and positioning for each sonogram – Over 250 rules of thumb and key concepts – All relevant landmarks, measurable parameters, and normal values Packed with beautiful graphics and precise text, this is the essential resource that anyone involved in ultrasound radiography needs.

Patch Clamping: An Introductory Guide to Patch Clamp Electrophysiology is a concise introduction to the basic principles and practical applications of this important technique. Starting with a review of the history of patch clamping, the text then goes on to cover the fundamentals of the subject, platforms, equipment and environmental control. This self-contained guide provides everything a practising patch clamp electrophysiologist needs to know to master this important technique, including an overview of membrane biophysics, standard experimental design, data analysis and technical concerns. Aimed at novice and intermediate researchers within neurobiology laboratories, this text will also be of interest to people new to this technique, in universities and research labs as well as research technicians. A useful reference for undergraduates specialising in neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and applied physiology. Features: A self-contained guide introducing basic principles and practical applications A practical approach to the subject and written in an accessible non-technical style Extensive coverage of recording modes, analysis of results and numerous handy hints on how to avoid common pitfalls.
Experimental and Applied Physiology Laboratory Manual, Eighth Edition, is a comprehensive, stand-alone laboratory manual for the one-semester physiology course taught at the undergraduate level. It can accompany any physiology textbook on the market, and reinforces those principles that are fundamental to all courses on physiology. The strengths of this lab manual are its emphasis on hands-on experiments, a practical balance of background information, and clear procedural instructions.
