    • Spanish
    Desde principios de la década de 2000, los adultos mayores de 50 años son cada vez menos reticentes a acudir a la consulta de ortodoncia, cuya organización suele estar perfectamente adaptada para los pacientes adolescentes. Sin embargo, la ortodoncia de las personas mayores es muy distinta a la de los pacientes jóvenes, desde los puntos de vista tanto técnico como biológico, psicológico y estético. Las personas mayores presentan unas exigencias, una historia y unas limitaciones fisiológicas distintas a las del adolescente. En este contexto, conocer las especificidades del tratamiento de las personas mayores es fundamental para garantizar una asistencia óptima. El objetivo de este libro es describir en detalle el envejecimiento bucodental y exponer las características del tratamiento ortodóncico de los mayores de 50 años. Por tanto, está dirigido a todos los profesionales interesados en el envejecimiento bucodental. Basado en el intercambio de conocimientos y de experiencia, está constituido por 50 fichas sintéticas repletas de consejos y trucos. Además, contiene más de 1.000 fotografías clínicas para educar nuestra mente y nuestra mirada para esta tarea en particular. Escrito por profesionales de referencia, es eminentemente práctico, y está destinado a proporcionar respuestas a las preguntas que se plantea el clínico durante el tratamiento de los pacientes mayores de 50 años.

    Aerosols and Precipitation Over Africa: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects provides a clear picture of the complex interactions between aerosols and precipitation over Africa. The text begins with a close look at aerosol distribution, observational and modeling techniques, and climate models. This is followed by an examination of the effect of aerosol on precipitation and the latest advances in aerosol-precipitatio... studies. The editors then review regional and largescale variability. Later chapters include a climatological assessment of aerosol and precipitation properties, projected changes in precipitation and cloud patterns, and expected challenges for the future.With these interactions confounded by the large-scale dynamical systems over the continent, this book will provide a much-needed, detailed understanding of the complex connections between aerosol and precipitation over Africa. It will be a valuable resource for environmental researchers, academics, and policymakers studying the latest developments in aerosols and precipitation over Africa.Members of the Royal Meteorological Society are eligible for a 35% discount on all Developments in Weather and Climate Science series titles.
