Download or read book Hand Bone Age written by Vicente Gilsanz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, determination of bone maturity relied on visual evaluation of skeletal development in the hand and wrist, most commonly using the Greulich and Pyle atlas. The Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas takes advantage of digital imaging and provides a more effective and objective approach to assessment of skeletal maturity. The atlas integrates the key morphological features of ossification in the bones of the hand and wrist and provides idealized, sex- and age-specific images of skeletal development New to this revised second edition is a description and user manual for Bone Age for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®, which can be purchased and used separately from this book. The App can be easily employed to calculate the deviation of the patient’s age from the normal range and to predict a possible growth delay. This easy-to-use atlas and the related App will be invaluable for radiologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians and also relevant to forensic physicians.

This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Causes of addisions disease include auto immune adrenalitis, Tuberculosis, fungal as well as bacterial infections, hemorrhage, medications as well as steroid withdrawal, genetic factors, adrenal gland surgery and amyloidosis. Symptoms of addisions disease are fatigue, muscle weakness, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, skin changes, nausea, vomition, diarrhea, constipation, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, fainting, intense cravings for salty foods, joint pains, irritability, depression, anxiety, thinning of hair, brittle nails and hypoglycemia. Diagnosis of addisions disease is based on clinical evaluation, laboratory tests such as serum cortisol levels, ACTH stimulation stimulation test, serum aldosterone levels, electrolyte imbalance, imaging studies namely CT scan, MRI scan and additional tests namely anti-adrenal antibodies, renin levels. Differential diagnosis is dependent on adrenal insufficiency causes such as auto immune adrenalitis, tuberculosis of adrenal gland, fungal infections, genetic mutations and other endocrine disorders namely cushings syndrome, excess cortisol production ans excess aldosterone production. Differential diagnosis is related to gastro intestinal disoprders such as gastro enteritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as well as auto immune diseases like systemic lupus ertythematous (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and infections namely HIV and AIDS. Treatment of addisions disease is linked to hormone replacement therapy namely glucocorticoid replacement, mineraocorticoid replacement as well as medication dosage, stress management, monitoring regular checkups, diet modifications and lifestyle modifications. Finally it is concluded that Addisions disease is a rare but potentially serious condition that influences the adrenal glands, resulting in hormonal imbalances.

Download or read book Forensic Anthropology and Medicine written by Aurore Schmitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent political, religious, ethnic, and racial conflicts, as well as mass disasters, have significantly helped to bring to light the almost unknown dis- pline of forensic anthropology. This science has become particularly useful to forensic pathologists because it aids in solving various puzzles, such as id- tifying victims and documenting crimes. On topics such as mass disasters and crimes against humanity, teamwork between forensic pathologists and for- sic anthropologists has significantly increased over the few last years. This relationship has also improved the study of routine cases in local medicolegal institutes. When human remains are badly decomposed, partially skelet- ized, and/or burned, it is particularly useful for the forensic pathologist to be assisted by a forensic anthropologist. It is not a one-way situation: when the forensic anthropologist deals with skeletonized bodies that have some kind of soft tissue, the advice of a forensic pathologist would be welcome. Forensic anthropology is a subspecialty/field of physical anthropology. Most of the background on skeletal biology was gathered on the basis of sk- etal remains from past populations. Physical anthropologists then developed an indisputable “know-how”; nevertheless, one must keep in mind that looking for a missing person or checking an assumed identity is quite a different matter. Pieces of information needed by forensic anthropologists require a higher level of reliability and accuracy than those granted in a general archaeological c- text. To achieve a positive identification, findings have to match with e- dence, particularly when genetic identification is not possible.

Download or read book Age Estimation in the Living written by Sue Black and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes and explains the main approaches to age estimation in the living, defining when a parameter may be of use and raising awareness of its limitations. This text ensures that practitioners recognize when an assessment is beyond their area of expertise or beyond verification depending upon the clinical data available. Each key approach to age evaluation has been allotted a single chapter, written by an international leader in the particular field. The book also includes summary chapters that relay readily accessible data for use by the practitioner, and includes important "ageing milestones." This book is indispensable where problems of immigration and legal standing, juvenile vs. adult criminal status, and responsibilities of law enforcement to protect vulnerable persons are key issues on a daily basis. Medical practitioners, forensic practitioners such as pathology, odontology, anthropology and nursing, lawyers, and police would find this book incredibly useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough overview of the ongoing evolution in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) within healthcare and radiology, enabling readers to gain a deeper insight into the technological background of AI and the impacts of new and emerging technologies on medical imaging. After an introduction on game changers in radiology, such as deep learning technology, the technological evolution of AI in computing science and medical image computing is described, with explanation of basic principles and the types and subtypes of AI. Subsequent sections address the use of imaging biomarkers, the development and validation of AI applications, and various aspects and issues relating to the growing role of big data in radiology. Diverse real-life clinical applications of AI are then outlined for different body parts, demonstrating their ability to add value to daily radiology practices. The concluding section focuses on the impact of AI on radiology and the implications for radiologists, for example with respect to training. Written by radiologists and IT professionals, the book will be of high value for radiologists, medical/clinical physicists, IT specialists, and imaging informatics professionals.
