    Cette nouvelle édition de Gray’s Anatomie - Les Fiches propose 400 fiches en couleurs, dont nombre d’illustrations exceptionnelles sont issues de la 5e édition du Gray’s Anatomie - Le Manuel pour les étudiants. Elle offre un moyen incomparable d’évaluer ses connaissances sur les structures anatomiques essentielles et leurs rapports réciproques.Classées par région, les fiches présentent l’anatomie et l’imagerie du dos, du thorax, de l’abdomen, du pelvis et du périnée, du membre supérieur, du membre inférieur, de la tête et du cou, ainsi que l’anatomie de surface et l’anatomie générale.Le système de question-réponse favorise la stimulation et la mémorisation : le recto de chaque fiche offre une illustration anatomique détaillée comportant les structures à reconnaître ; le verso identifie ces structures en y apportant des précisions sur leurs fonctions, leurs corrélations cliniques, etc. Des schémas synoptiques détaillent l’innervation des organes et des régions du corps et une section entièrement dédiée à des exemples d’imagerie diagnostique (IRM et TDM) permet de visualiser leur aspect radiologique.En fin d’ouvrage, des fiches d’auto-évaluation permettent d’approfondir ses connaissances cliniques.Cette nouvelle édition propose la révision de fiches existantes, avec l’approfondissement de notes cliniques ainsi que l’ajout d’une douzaine de nouvelles planches en lien avec l’évolution du Manuel. Elle offre désormais le repérage du système sur chaque fiche.Par leur approche clinique et la qualité de leurs illustrations, ces Fiches d’anatomie sont un outil indispensable de révision et d’entraînement pour réussir aux examens des études de santé et un atout majeur pour la préparation des questions d’anatomie des EDN.

  • Stress and The Brain: Evidence from Molecular Mechanisms to Interventions and Therapies

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 291
    • English
    Stress and The Brain: Evidence from Molecular Mechanisms to Interventions and Therapies is a comprehensive exploration of how stress affects the brain at a molecular level and its broader implications for mental and neurological health. The book delves into the mechanisms by which stress triggers changes in brain function, including the activation of the hypothalamic-pituita... (HPA) axis, synaptic plasticity alterations, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. It examines how these molecular processes contribute to conditions such as neurodegeneration, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. Furthermore, the book provides an in-depth analysis of current therapeutic interventions, both pharmacological and behavioral, as well as natural antidotes that aim to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on the brain. By synthesizing evidence from cutting-edge research, this book offers valuable insights for scientists, clinicians, and mental health professionals seeking to understand and address the complex interplay between stress and brain health.

    • English
    Handbook on New Paradigms in Smart Charging for E-Mobility: Global Trends, Policies and Practices provides a complete package for understanding and developing smart chargers for e-mobility applications. It discusses various concepts required for developing charging infrastructure and usage of different kinds of storage technologies, power electronics converters, controllers, communication requirements, grid infrastructure, sustainable technologies, policy frameworks, and all other related crucial aspects of E-mobility.Each part of the book covers a subdomain of e-mobility, beginning with an introductory chapter reviewing existing literature; the subsequent chapters are arranged to each follow the previous one. Other available books focus on specific technical subdomains of e-mobility, but none provides the wider outlook to meet the requirements of all audiences. This book uniquely brings together topics that are not otherwise easily accessible or available to these audiences.This book will be beneficial for engineers, scientists, and researchers, providing them with a comprehensive standard benchmark work to explore the evolving aspects of charging infrastructure for e-mobility. Further, it will also help policymakers, practitioners and government entities formulate policies for successful implementations of e-motility for their masses. The techno-socio-economi... focus will serve as standard literature for all.
