This short synopsis of topographical anatomy is intended for medical students who already have a good knowledge of systematic anatomy. The chapters follow the arrangement usual in anatomy coursebooks, i. e. according to parts of the human body: head, neck, chest, pelvis, back and extremities. For a better understanding, the text is accompained by simplified drawings.
Written by an experienced and well-respected physician and professor, this new volume combines the entire previous four books, Ultrasonic Topographical and Pathotopographical Anatomy, and its three sequels, also available from Wiley-Scrivener, presenings the ultrasonic topographical and pathotopographical anatomy of the entire body, offering further detail into these important areas for use by medical professionals. This comprehensive and exhaustive medical atlas of topographic and pathotopographic human anatomy is a fundamental and practically important book designed for doctors of all specializations and students of medical schools. Here you can find almost everything that is connected with the topographic and pathotopographic human anatomy, including original graphs of logical structures of topographic anatomy and development of congenital abnormalities, topography of different areas in layers, pathotopography, computer and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of topographic and pathotopographic anatomy. You can also find here new theoretical and practical sections of topographic anatomy developed by the author himself which are published for the first time. They are practically important for mastering the technique of operative interventions and denying possibility of iatrogenic complications during operations. This important new volume will be valuable to physicians, junior physicians, medical residents, lecturers in medicine, and medical students alike, either as a textbook or as a reference. It is a must-have for any physician’s library.
"Cricothyroid membrane - This is the landmark used for a cricothyrotomy procedure. Located between the cricoid and thyroid cartilage tissue, as shown in Figure 1, the membrane acts as a guide for establishing an airway for patients in emergency situations. Palpate superiorly to the sternal notch until the prominence of the cricoid cartilage is identified and a subtle step off is felt just inferior to the thyroid cartilage"--
A mainstay for pathology residents, Autopsy Pathology is designed with a uniquely combined manual and atlas format that presents today's most complete coverage of performing, interpreting, and reporting post-mortem examinations. This lasting and useful medical reference book offers a practical, step-by-step approach to discussing not only the basics of the specialty, but the performance of specialized autopsy procedures as well. Material is divided into two sections for ease of use: a manual covering specific autopsy procedures, biosafety, generation of autopsy reports, preparation of death certificates, and other essential subjects; and an atlas, organized by organ system, which captures the appearance of the complete spectrum of autopsy findings. Offers expanded coverage of microscopic anatomy. Includes a chapter on performing special dissection procedures that may not be covered during a typical residency. Examines important techniques, such as autopsy photography and radiology, microscopic examination, supplemental laboratory studies, and other investigative approaches. Addresses the latest legal, social, and ethical issues relating to autopsies, as well as quality improvement and assurance. Presents more than 600 full-color photographs depicting common gross and microscopic autopsy findings for every part of the body. Correlates pathologic findings with their clinical causes to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Improved images in the Atlas section provide greater visual understanding. Additional online features include dissection videos demonstrating autopsy techniques; downloadable, commonly used forms for autopsy reports; and calculators for weights and measures. Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience offers access to all of the text, figures, images, videos, forms, calculators, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
The original text was published in 1964 by the anatomists Jaroslav Kos, Jiří Heřt and Jaroslava Hladíková from the Medical Faculty at Charles University in Pilsen. This publication was important in that it represented the first Czech post-war textbook on topographical anatomy based on Weigner’s teachings. The first edition was an overwhelming success among medical students and physicians alike, as the topography of the entire body was described in a brief and understandable manner. The popularity of the text was echoed by its repeated republications and such was the demand that each subsequent edition was out of print within a short period of time, with the last edition being published over 20 years ago. The authors are of the opinion that this publication remains a valid and useful contribution to topographical anatomy and have as such decided to re-edit and republish a more modern form of the original text. This new and ‘revitalised’ edition contains the updated English and Latin Terminology (Terminologia Anatomica, Thieme, Stuttgart, New York, 1998), digitally enhanced diagrams and figures; and some minor changes to the original text.
