Download or read book Genetics for ENT Specialists written by Dirk Kunst and published by Remedica. This book was released on 2005 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most prevalent ENT disorders are those that affect hearing. Approximately 1 in 1,000 children is born with a severe hearing impairment, and in at least half of these cases the cause is inherited. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of molecular genetic studies on hereditary sensorineural hearing impairment, and it has recently become possible to make genetic diagnoses based on molecular tests in an increasing number of otologic disorders. This book provides practitioners with a concise overview of advances in this important field of medicine and will facilitate improved management of patients with ENT disorders.

Download or read book Schuknecht s Pathology of the Ear written by Saumil N. Merchant and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a dedicated text to learn pathologic images seen during EUS. The digital anatomy correlation used in this work is the natural continuation of efforts to apply the University of Colorado Visible Human data set to gastroenterology. The Visible Human data set was created by Dr. Vic Spitzer and colleagues at the University of Colorado and is currently housed at the universitys Center for Human Simulation. The data set consists of high resolution transaxial digital images captured as cadavers were abraded away at 1 mm or less depths. These images are compiled into blocks of data and each structure is identified. This information can be used to pull out and manipulate 3-D structures as well as allowing one to review planar anatomy in any orientation. Using the Visible Human dataset, one should be able to find a normal anatomy correlate to any image found during a EUS examination. However, as important as normal anatomy is, it is the abnormal features which are the crux of an EUS examination. Endosonographers are asked to define lumps, bumps, cysts to find correlates for symptoms and abnormal laboratory findings. Accuracy requires a tremendous amount of skill and experience. To help in this task, we have assembled chapters from a world-wide group of expert endosonographers. These authors have shared their insight and images to help the readers of this work better see and understand some of the complexities uncovered during a EUS evaluation.

Download or read book Genetic Hearing Loss written by Patrick J. Willems and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-10-17 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heredity, either alone or in combination with environmental factors, is the most prominent underlying cause of hearing impairment.
