Looking Within
"Compelling and insightful-I urge everyone, physicians and the public alike, to read this brilliant work." -James Borgstede MD, past president and chairman of the board of the American College of RadiologyA doctor's profound tales of diagnoses and discoveries made by medical imaging; and reflections on what we can learn about ourselves and life by looking within the human body.What would it really be like to have x-ray vision? Our bodies have endless stories and secrets to tell, and imaging is the great equalizer. When we look deep into ourselves from the vantage of this fundamental level, with exterior barriers and labels removed, we may see ourselves, other people, and our lives in a whole new light.In Looking Within, Cullen Ruff, MD collects over 30 stories of how diagnostic imaging impacted the lives of his patients and provided insight into the many complex stories that led these people to seek answers. Ruff highlights the wonder and mystery of the human body, literally and metaphorically looking inside of others. Each story describes a patient in whom a life-changing discovery is made: tumors, stroke, domestic violence, substance abuse, sterility, unexpected pregnancy, infection, surgical complications, evidence of criminal activity, mental illness, even impending death. Dr. Ruff's words, images, and insights help us see ourselves like never before.

A Mammographic Registration Method Based on Optical Flow and Mmultiresolution Computing
Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the most prevalent form of cancer to afflict women remaining the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. Mammography is a potent weapon in the fight against this lethal disease, due in large part to its widespread availability and low cost. Despite the fact that mammography can detect small lesions as early as two years before they become palpable on physical exam, between 10 and 30 percent of cancerous lesions go undetected during evaluation by the radiologist. One approach to improving detection rates involves comparing mammograms of the same breast from successive years. Since most forms of breast cancer develop slowly, multiple-view techniques might be able to detect subtle changes indicative of cancerous growth. This thesis proposes a computer-aided system designed to bring two images into correspondence, or alignment, so that they can be compared and evaluated for possible abnormalities. The system estimates a mapping between two images by calculating the optical flow, or apparent intensity change, between a source and target mammogram. The efficiency of the proposed registration system is enhanced by utilizing a multire solution approach whereby images are compared at more than one scale. In contrast to other registration attempts which match sets of morphological features, this system does not require the identification of any control points at all. This advantage permits the system to perform well even when the two images differ significantly from one another. Preliminary results suggest the potential usefulness of this system as part of a clinical computer-aided detection (CADx) system.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

GP Removal Cases in Retreatment Cases in Endodontics
In endodontic retreatment, the removal of gutta-percha (GP) is a critical step to ensure the success of the procedure. GP is the most commonly used root canal filling material; however in cases of endodontic failure, its presence in the canal can harbor bacteria and impede the effectiveness of subsequent disinfection and obturation efforts. In conclusion, effective removal of gutta-percha is essential in endodontic retreatment to eliminate infection, facilitate re-obturation, prevent complications, and improve treatment outcomes. The choice of removal technique should be based on canal anatomy, the extent of previous filling, and the clinician's expertise.Therefore, efficient and thorough removal of GP is necessary to eliminate persistent infection and achieve optimal healing outcomes. Several methods are employed to remove GP during retreatment, each with its advantages and limitations which are discussed in detail here along with the recent advancements providing clinical insights which may prove to be useful for the beginners. To the young readers out there, here is wishing you a rewarding reading experience.
Handbook of Basic Clinical Audiology
This book covers the basic concept regarding clinical audiology. It is specifically designed for undergraduate medical students and for residents in the field of oto-rhino-laryngology (ENT). It meets the requirement, which a medical graduate ought to know regarding basic clinical audiology. I hope students and residents will find it very useful in their preparation for examination in ENT. In addition general physicians and post-graduates will also find it useful for quick reference in their routine clinical practice.The first 2 chapters are related with the clinical anatomy and physiology of the ear. The third chapter is related with the hearing loss, its types and common causes. In the 4th chapter, common clinical tests are given related with hearing. Then each type of audiological test is given in each chapter covering almost all the common clinical audiological investigations.
Rehabilitation of Hand Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peripheral nerve injuries of the upper extremity are among the common clinical problems encountered in practice. These injuries present with both orthopedic and neurological findings, and their treatment requires a prolonged course marked by experience and patience-posing challenges for both the patient and the therapist. Due to the extended duration of nerve regeneration, there is a limited number of healthcare professionals with expertise in this area.This book does not aim to cover all aspects of the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries of the hand. Rather, its primary purpose is to provide fundamental knowledge to undergraduate and graduate students who seek to gain an understanding of this field. The initial chapters focus on the basic anatomical and biomechanical principles. Subsequent sections explore the cortical consequences of peripheral nerve injuries and discuss rehabilitation strategies through case-based examples.It is my sincere hope that this book will be a valuable resource for all its readers.
Management of the Typical Clubfoot in Cameroon
Clubfoot, is a common congenital musculoskeletal abnormality that impacts the ability to move. It is estimated that 40 to 50 children per million inhabitants are born with clubfoot each year in Cameroon. To strengthen the adoption of evidence-based practices and improve patient outcomes, several strategies have been proposed and the Ponseti method has been adopted as the EBP by the Cameroonian Ministry of Public Health. This study aims to investigate the situational analysis of EBP in the management of typical clubfoot by physiotherapists in Cameroon and to bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and their practical applications.A cross-sectional survey was conducted online among 167 practicing physiotherapists in Cameroon over a period from April to June 2024. The implementation of EBP on the management of typical club foot is not really effective in practice among physiotherapists in Cameroon, despite everyone's desire to get involved ardently. The obstacles that hinder or constitute barriers to the implementation of EBP among physiotherapists in Cameroon are the lack of standardized initial training, the lack of time and information and limited resources.
