This book focuses on the evaluation and treatment of a wide range of sports injuries in relation to the Tanner stage of sexual development in young athletes.

During recent decades, more than 100 surgical procedures have been proposed to treat pelvic organ prolapse, and surgeons are still searching for the ideal approach.

Topics include plastic and reconstructive surgery, DCIS surgery, radio-guided surgery, adjuvant systemic therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, and the role of surgery in locally advanced and metastatic disease.

This book is intended for undergraduates and young researchers who wish to understand the role that different branches of physics and mathematics play in the execution of actual experiments.

Si ripercorre la storia della cosmologia moderna, dal XVIII secolo fino alle più recenti scoperte (l'opera è aggiornata fino alla fine 2010). La cosmologia fa uso di concetti complessi, che vengono spesso fraintesi, o che non vengono compresi del tutto, da chi non è specialista del campo. Lo scopo del volume è di trattare esaustivamente tali concetti, entrando nel dettaglio per far cogliere intuitivamente il loro significato autentico anche ai non addetti: a questo scopo, si fa uso di metafore calzanti, di analogie newtoniane, di trattazioni quantitative che richiedono solo le conoscenze di fisica e di matematica di uno studente di scuola media superiore. Vengono discusse le idee più importanti e controverse che sono attualmente al centro del dibattito cosmologico, come la materia oscura e l'energia oscura. Vengono sviluppati i concetti di base della Relatività Generale e del Modello Standard delle particelle elementari.

This book introduces concepts and techniques for mathematical modeling of the respiratory system, using differential equations, resistive networks and other mathematical tools. Offers state-of-the-art modeling techniques, and several detailed exercises.

Pediatric Thoracic Surgery will be of value not only for pediatric thoracic surgeons but also for adult thoracic surgeons, pediatric anesthetists, and pediatric respiratory physicians.

This book is designed as an advanced undergraduate or a first-year graduate course for students from various disciplines like applied mathematics, physics, engineering.

This book looks at innovations that will change our lives by the year 2062. It covers a wide variety of scientific topics of great interest to the general public, from astrophysics to genetics to robotics to clean energy.

Imagine mathematics, imagine with the help of mathematics, imagine new worlds, new geometries, new forms. The new volume in the series "Imagine Math" is intended to contribute to grasping how much that is interesting and new is happening in the relationships between mathematics, imagination and culture.

A growing number of people suffer from so-called resistant hypertension, that is to say, high blood pressure that does not respond to treatment.

This variant, often in the guise of a chronic progressive myelopathy or, less commonly, progressive cerebellar or bulbar dysfunction, usually responds poorly to corticosteroids and rarely seems to benefit to a significant degree from intensive immunosuppressive treatments.

There is now evidence that irreversible brain damage accumulates very early in the course of multiple sclerosis. These findings provide the rationale for early treatment and emphasize the importance of clinical trials in early multiple sclerosis.

With its highlight on the most recent discoveries in the field of molecular genetics as well as on the correct clinical approach to patients with heart muscle disease, the book is aimed at physicians and clinical cardiologists with a particular interest in myocardial diseases and in their genetic causes.

This book explores several aspects of fractional Brownian motion, including the stochastic integration, the study of its supremum and its appearance as limit of partial sums involving stationary sequences.

This book book explores the ways that elaborate flux functions can be constructed, mainly in a one-dimensional context for hyperbolic systems admitting shock-type solutions and also for kinetic equations in the discrete-ordinate approximation.

This book details topics of particular importance to critical care cardiovascular diagnosis and management in the perioperative period.

This book covers the full range of relevant conditions: inherited skin disorders; nevi; viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections; acne; allergic diseases; autoimmune skin disorders; connective tissue diseases; tumors; and miscellaneous conditions.

The book introduces methods and tools adopted by the critical systems industry, and surveys key achievements of the CRITICAL STEP project along four directions: fault injection tools, V&V of critical systems, runtime monitoring and evaluation techniques, and security assessment.

This book offers an invaluable guide to the delineation of organs at risk of toxicity in patients undergoing radiotherapy. It details the radiological anatomy of organs at risk as seen on typical radiotherapy planning CT scans.

This book offers critical reviews of value-based measures: Economic Value Added (EVA), Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI), Shareholder Value Added (SVA), Economic Margin (EM) and Cash Value Added (CVA). Helps the reader choose and use the best technique.
