Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of forensic neuropathology covers such controversial topics as the effects of repeated brain trauma in football players and how babies probably cannot die from being shaken. Jan Leestma is one of the most respected voices in this area. A timely update to his classic reference, Forensic Neuropathology: Third Edition presents an encyclopedic exposition of neuropathological conditions that may have forensic import. Reflecting the latest research, this edition includes expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control.

Several chapters examine the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions and discuss the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. Where possible, aging and dating methodology is included for various processes. More than 325 updated full-color illustrations complement the text along with diagrams, tables, and figures that illustrate the textual material and can be useful as exhibits in court. An extensive bibliography provides background information and facilitates further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though it is one of the most common causes of death in epilepsy patients, SUDEP is still infrequently and even reluctantly named on autopsy reports.

Download or read book Sudden Death written by Álvaro Enrigue and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Splendid" —New York Times "Mind-bending." —Wall Street Journal "Brilliantly original. The best new novel I've read this year." —Salman Rushdie A daring, kaleidoscopic novel about the clash of empires and ideas, told through a tennis match in the sixteenth century between the radical Italian artist Caravaggio and the Spanish poet Francisco de Quevedo, played with a ball made from the hair of the beheaded Anne Boleyn. The poet and the artist battle it out in Rome before a crowd that includes Galileo, a Mary Magdalene, and a generation of popes who would throw the world into flames. In England, Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII execute Anne Boleyn, and her crafty executioner transforms her legendary locks into those most-sought-after tennis balls. Across the ocean in Mexico, the last Aztec emperors play their own games, as the conquistador Hernán Cortés and his Mayan translator and lover, La Malinche, scheme and conquer, fight and f**k, not knowing that their domestic comedy will change the course of history. In a remote Mexican colony a bishop reads Thomas More’s Utopia and thinks that it’s a manual instead of a parody. And in today’s New York City, a man searches for answers to impossible questions, for a book that is both an archive and an oracle. Álvaro Enrigue’s mind-bending story features assassinations and executions, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bawdy criminals, carnal liaisons and papal schemes, artistic and religious revolutions, love and war. A blazingly original voice and a postmodern visionary, Enrigue tells the grand adventure of the dawn of the modern era, breaking down traditions and upending expectations, in this bold, powerful gut-punch of a novel. Game, set, match. “Sudden Death is the best kind of puzzle, its elements so esoteric and wildly funny that readers will race through the book, wondering how Álvaro Enrigue will be able to pull a novel out of such an astonishing ball of string. But Enrigue absolutely does; and with brilliance and clarity and emotional warmth all the more powerful for its surreptitiousness.” —Lauren Groff, New York Times-bestselling author of Fates and Furies "Engrossing... rich with Latin and European history." —The New Yorker "[A] bawdy, often profane, sprawling, ambitious book that is as engaging as it is challenging.” —Vogue

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This volume contains new chapters for six additional disease animal models: spinal cord injury, cardiovascular diseases, sudden infant death syndrome, developmental disorders, eye diseases, and human cancer. It also presents a new chapter on applying reduction and refinement to animal models. This handbook can be used for undergraduate and postgraduate laboratory animal science courses, and as a handbook for scientists who work with animals in their research, for university veterinarians, for regulators, and for other specialists in laboratory animal science.

Download or read book Sudden Death Overtime written by Dennis Courneya and published by . This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudden Death, Overtime depicts the true account of a young farm boy, Dennis Courneya, who grew up in rural Minnesota. As one of six children in the family, he learned to value the bounty and beauty of Minnesota's "lake country". He also was inspired by the respect for family and the values of rural life. The reader becomes a vicarious participant in the hometown celebrations as well as a student in a country school. The mini-stories within the early chapters demonstrate how values of self-determination, responsibility, and respect are established..."Did we feel deprived? Being poor is just a state of mind. We had a home, land, food, family, values, and abundant love. We were the richest people in the world." Following his graduation from high school, he enlisted in the Vietnam War. As a soldier experiencing firsthand the tragedies of war, his appreciation of life and honor became greatly enhanced. The reader is introduced to the emotions of a typical Vietnam War veteran: "Was the war wrong? Who am I to say? Perhaps we should ask the families of the 55,000 who came home to their loved ones in a pine box...Maybe we should ask the veterans what it felt like to be called 'losers' or 'failures' by the welcoming public. These are the tragic consequences of war." We learn that the veterans are the "true nobility" of war. Following the war, Dennis became even more determined to "make a difference." His journey takes him to a rural community in Minnesota - a community dominated by ultra conservatism and stringent religious doctrine. It was in the small town of Hancock that he attained a position as a teacher and coach. As a teacher, he does not just "teach from the book", but also from the "heart"... "I was an integral part of the most honorable profession - teaching. I wouldn't trade one moment for all the money or fame in the world. I gave my heart and soul to education...to the future. I have no regrets. I wonder how many others can say the same? I am, and always will be, a teacher." It is in his capacity as a coach of multiple sports that he leads his teams to nearly 40 championship titles. The reader will come to know Dennis Courneya as a motivator and a "believer in dreams"... "Giving 100% is not a choice." Dennis's love of athletics and his admiration for those who "went the extra mile" exemplify why his teams were so successful. We also come to know the burden of success..."I would always take a deep breath before walking into the gym and I would say to myself, 'It's time to please them all again'." We also become aware of the turmoil that lies ahead for Dennis Courneya, "Teacher and Coach of the Year." Beginning in 1997, Dennis Courneya becomes immersed in the legal battle of his life. The reader will be as bewildered as he when the accusations of sexual misconduct surface. How does one progress from esteemed teacher and coach to one that is accused of the "unthinkable"? As Dennis enters a realm that he has never entered before - the legal arena - he quickly discovers that the concept of Sudden Death, Overtime is all too real...the clock is ticking. As he strives to withstand the horrific accusations that mount greater every day, he is also faced with the destruction of his personal and professional life..."No one ever said life was fair..." The reader is cast into the role of the 13th Juror. We become witnesses to one of the most controversial trials in Minnesota....a trial in which we become acquainted with the accusers, the religious community, the school system, the investigators, the legal system. The reader will be aghast at the integrity and honor of the legal process. Are we, indeed, "Innocent until proven guilty?" Does moral
