  • PACE Yourself

    Alcohol, Addiction and Exercise
    • 1st Edition
    • March 29, 2023
    • Megan Johnson Mccullough
    • English
    PACE Yourself: Alcohol, Addiction and Exercise provides qualitative research about the influence of exercise on alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery. In addition, the author explains how someone can benefit from exercise and explores how the PACE method could help keep new addictions at bay. PACE is an acronym for Proactive Awareness Controlling Excess. The author has developed an app of the same name which is available in the Apple store. Exercise is medicine when it comes to the recovering body and mind of an alcoholic. Physiological and psychological changes as a result of moving the body contribute to prolonged sobriety and deter the cyclical threat the nature of alcohol abuse can pose upon person in recovery. The struggle to never become powerless to alcohol again can be kept at bay when the benefits of exercise over power the benefits alcohol used to have. However, the addictive mind can find a new habit to replace the old one. The PACE method proposes steps to become aware of replacement type behaviors with the understanding that anyone can become addicted to anything.

    • English
    Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition examines the cognitive transformations that underly this cognitive system and the specialized subsystems for processing these transformations. Sections cover symmetry cognition, contour perception and geometric illusion. Weight sensation is also discussed, as are repetitive and dot patterns. By incorporating elements of both psychophysics and experimental phenomenology, pattern cognition is examined from both the physical and mental sensory perspective, thus providing a comprehensive view of this cognitive system.
  • IRM pratique en neuroradiologie

    • French
    La grande originalité de cet ouvrage, écrit pour aider la réalisation et l’interprétation des IRM neuroradiologiques, repose sur son approche sémiologique et thématique. Elle le distingue des livres classiques présentant les pathologies par rubriques séparées, obligeant le radiologue à savoir à l’avance à laquelle appartiennent les lésions.Ce livre facilite la compréhension des techniques avancées devenues usuelles, comme par exemple la perfusion, les angiographies dynamiques ou la spectro RM, séquences indispensables au bilan de nombreuses pathologies du système nerveux central.Facile à consulter, avec une iconographie riche et récente, il présente deux parties ; encéphale d’une part, moelle et rachis d’autre part, avec le même plan d’analyse :• comment réaliser une IRM ;• sémiologie élémentaire ;• orientation diagnostique en fonction des caractéristiques des images.En fin d’ouvrage, de courts chapitres regroupent les éléments indispensables à la connaissance des territoires vasculaires et de pathologies intéressantes soit par leur fréquence, comme les inflammations de la substance blanche, soit par leur relative complexité comme les maladies dégénératives, ou les affections rares du système nerveux central.Ce livre s’adresse aux radiologues généralistes, et aux neuroradiologues en formation, désireux d’apprendre la sémiologie IRM neuroradiologique et constitue un outil précieux du DPC. Les manipulateurs y trouveront de précieuses informations sur la réalisation pratique des examens. Il devrait intéresser aussi les cliniciens prescripteurs d’IRM du système nerveux central, en particulier neurologues et neurochirurgiens, qu’il aidera à mieux comprendre les images et les comptes-rendus.Pour cette 3ème édition, en plus du contenu et de l’iconographie entièrement actualisés avec les dernières recommandations des sociétés savantes, cet ouvrage s’accompagne d’une banque d’images en ligne qui vous permet de visualiser + de 900 iconographies.

    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Neuroscience**MRI/DT... Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain.This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.
