Are you interested in the anatomy of the human body? Are you looking for ways to improve your quality of life, or do you want to gain an understanding of illnesses and how to cure them? Then you will find the necessary foundation of knowledge here. Human medicine deals with the prevention, curation and palliation of human diseases. This science builds on basic knowledge of biology, physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics and sociology and is consolidated in sub-disciplines such as pharmacology, biometrics and pathophysiology. With the history of medicine as the basis of experience, it is summarized as one of the practice-oriented empirical sciences. Our range of subjects offers you tools, the latest knowledge and incentives for your studies and work. Feel free to contact us regarding a publication of your own work.
The aortic aneurysm is a common disease that is particularly relevant due to the feared complication of rupture with an extraordinarily high mortality rate. The valid recording of aortic growth is essential, since therapeutic decisions that are relevant for the patient's outcome depend on it. In the present work, the growth behavior of the aorta was quantified, CT-morphological and clinical growth predictors were derived and growth rates were compared on the basis of different parameters. Details Title: Predictors for the...
We know almost everything about individual nerve cells and the knowledge about the function of entire brain regions is increasing every day. However, if we look for explanations of the functions of cell clusters with thousands or even millions of neurons, then there is a gaping void. We do not know it. Or rather, we didn't know, because this book develops and describes the signal processing and the way information is stored in our brain and in neural networks in...
Many questions remain in the design and evaluation of automated cleaning processes for surgical instruments. This work describes a model for evaluating the process and its optimization. A total of sixteen influencing factors (measuring method, machine, process parameters) on the cleaning result are statistically examined. Tests are carried out in parallel using various measuring methods (TOC, BCA) and test soiling on self-constructed, demountable test specimens. The results are compared with processes in clinics. A simplified model of practical process evaluation...
