Modern Retinal Laser Therapy
This book, written by a pioneer in the field, describes the philosophy of the novel treatment from its conception through clinical testing and trails up to the current scientific knowledge. This memorable and triumphal journey has started with the creation of the idea to use non-damaging laser power to launch reparable processes in the human retina. This was in diametric contrast to philosophy of using predominantly destructive laser photocoagulation techniques, which eliminate diseased tissue only in hope to improve natural history of the disease. The novel concept was followed by establishing physical theory by the author and observing a biochemical evidence of retinal repair mechanisms by other groups.Clinical observations on countless number of patients have solidified the theory attesting to the effects of nondestructive and reparative stimulating therapy. The elegance of this approach is that retinal repair is agnostic to initial retinal process leading to damage and is, therefore, applicable for use in various retinal conditions irrespective of their origin.

Phenotypic Oncology Pet
This casebook details key information and findings in PET oncology imaging. PET CT has been increasingly utilized in clinical practice for diagnostic evaluation, initial staging and restaging of malignancies, and plays an important role in optimal patient care. Although F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is still the dominant radioactive tracer in oncology PET imaging services, a handful of new tracers have recently gained the US FDA approval, such as Ga-68 or Cu-64 DOTATATE for carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors, and F-18 Fluciclovine (AXUMIN) and PSMA for recurrent or metastatic prostate cancers. Clinical interpretation of PET CT oncology scans is often challenging, due to the specific nature of these positron emission radioactive tracers, variable background tracer activities in different organs/tissues with normal variants, complex tumor biology, and wide-ranged treatment responses, especially with emerging and new molecular and immune therapy agents. This book serves as a hands-on casebook on how to interpret oncologic PET CT studies in clinical services with a special emphasis on phenotypic nature of oncologic imaging.Clinical cases are presented in a way that is familiar to physicians from their training in nuclear medicine services. Each case starts with key clinical information or background, followed by well-displayed PET CT images, along with pertinent questions highlighting the key findings and explanation, as well as the importance in diagnosis and clinical implications on separate pages. Clinical and imaging key findings and final impressions are highlighted throughout along with qualitative and quantitative demonstrations of phenotypic nature of modern PET imaging.Written by two nuclear medicine PET specialists with decades of first-hand clinical experience, this is an ideal guide for nuclear medicine attending physicians, diagnostic radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, and relevant trainees.

Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology
Marma Points of Sushruta the foundation of Modern Kinesiology
Marma is based on the model of a lighted being or the consciousness that fills all human beings and flows and radiates through our thoughts and emotions, nerves and tissues.Due to 5 factors, viz. 1.lifestyle, 2.upbringing, 3.perceived notions, 4.relationships, and 5. personal set of values, these light beams get scattered away from their normal flow. Some beams lose their amplitude, others lose their direction. Yet others lose their intensity or focus. This is what results in illness, pain, grief, guilt, fear and weakness.Marma Chikitsa or Therapy is a revolutionary technique to normalize and balance the light body. Though mentioned in the ancient texts, in the modern context it is only recently being rediscovered and reapplied.When it came to healing and restoring fitness, the ancients rarely looked at anatomy as a mass of muscle, tissue, bone or organ. Rather, they perceived it as a body of glowing consciousness, and used the time honored techniques of Meditation, Massage, Showering, Walking, soft Touch, Pranayama and Yoga.तत्र सक्थिमर्माणि क्षिप्रतलहृदयकूर्चकूर्चशिरोगुल्फेन्द्रबस्तिजान्वाण्यूर्वीलोहिताक्षाणि विटपं चेति । Thigh and lower anatomy marma points list.तत्र सक्थि-मर्माणि क्षिप्र1-तलहृदय2-कूर्च3-कूर्चशिरः4-गुल्फ5-इन्द्रबस्ति6-जानु7-आणि8-ऊर्वी9-लोहिताक्षाणि10 विटपं11 चेति ।- 11 viṭapa (topmost point in this list)- 10 lohitākṣa- 9 ūrvī (also spelt urvī)- 8 āṇi- 7 jānu- 6 indrabasti- 5 gulpha- 4 kūrcaśira- 3 kūrca- 2 talahṛdaya- 1 kṣipra (bottommost point in this list)These points are listed in sequence of vertical location top to bottom of anatomy.एतेनेतरत्सक्थि व्याख्यातम् These are mirrored points in each leg, so a count of 22 points.Note: Marma points Viṭapa, Jānu and Gulpha in leg correspond to Kakṣadhara, Kūrpara and Maṇibandha in arm resp.-------------------This book presents the Marma section from the Sushruta Samhita, and lists simple ways to get back to peak health and total fitness.--------------------Contains Full Color Plates.Contains Charts for all 107 Marma Points.
