  • Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Jingmei Jiang
    • English
    Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Medicine provides a multivariate conceptual framework that allows readers to understand the interconnectivity and interrelations among variables, which maintains the intrinsic precision of statistical theories. With a strong focus on the fundamental concepts of multivariate statistical analysis, the book also gives insight into the applications of multivariate distribution in biomedical fields. In 14 chapters, Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Medicine covers the main topics of multivariate analysis methods widely used in health science research. The content is organized progressively from fundamental concepts to sophisticated methods. It begins with basic descriptive statistics in multivariate analysis and follows with parameter estimation, in addition to the hypothesis testing of a multivariate normal distribution, which has heavy applications in biomedical fields where the relationships among approximately normal variables are of great interest. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, considerable emphasis is placed on explanations and real-world applications of core principles to maintain a good balance between introducing theory and cultivating problem-solving skills. This book is a very valuable reference text for clinicians, medical researchers, and other researchers across medical and biomedical disciplines, all of whom confront increasingly complex statistical methods during the analysis and presentation of their results.

  • Imagerie des urgences neuroradiologiques

    • 1st Edition
    • François Cotton
    • French
    La survenue brutale d’un déficit neurologique oriente toujours vers la réalisation en urgence d’une imagerie du système nerveux central par scanner ou IRM. Cet examen est crucial pour la prise en charge thérapeutique du patient. Ce nouveau volume de la collection des « Syllabus de la SFR »(Société française de radiologie) et de la SFNR (Société française de neuroradiologie) propose ainsi un état de l’art de l’imagerie des urgences neuroradiologiques.C... ouvrage propose toute la sémiologie à connaître afin de pouvoir proposer la gamme diagnostique des urgences à rechercher. Il donne les clés pour privilégier la technique d’exploration la plus pertinente. Après un rappel des protocoles d’exploration en fonction des urgences, ou encore des éléments en vue de mieux comprendre la neuroradiologie interventionnelle, sont ainsi évoqués, entre autres, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux, les urgences traumatiques, infectieuses, métaboliques et toxiques, celles en fonction des régions (médullaire, orbitaire, etc.) ou en fonction des traitements sans oublier les spécificités pédiatriques, gériatriques et psychiatriques.Riche... illustré et complet, présenté de façon didactique et rédigé par les meilleurs experts en neuro-imagerie diagnostique et interventionnelle, cet ouvrage constitue la référence actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues confrontés aux urgences neuroradiologiques (vacations scanners ou IRM, permanence des soins, télémédecine) ainsi que pour les neurologues et neurochirurgiens qui prennent en charge ces patients.

  • Neurologic Channelopathies

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 203
    • English
    Neurological Channelopathies, Volume 203 begins with an introductory overview highlighting common mechanistic themes that cut across different CNS and PNS presentations, but that also have potential for common treatment approaches, considering classification, genetics, and fundamental physiology of ion channels. Subsequent chapters present a detailed consideration of all genetic and immunological channelopathies. Each chapter considers Pathophysiological underpinnings - genetic or immunological; Clinical presentations; Diagnostic approach; and Treatment and management.In the last 15 years, a combination of detailed clinical, genetic, molecular electrophysiological... and immunological research has combined to result in a deep understanding of a subgroup of neurological diseases spanning the central and peripheral nervous system and which have become known collectively as the Neurological Channelopathies. Although it was originally considered that significant ion channel dysfunction would not be compatible with life, we now know this is often not the case, although severe disease can often be the result. Given these major advances, it is now the right time to combine this knowledge into a single HCN volume dedicated to the topics at hand.
