Surgeons and Something More
Biographical sketches of the nineteen chairmen who have guided the evolution of the University of Pennsylvania's medical school and surgery department, America's first, from 1765 to the present day In Surgeons and Something More, Clyde F. and Elizabeth D. Barker chronicle the evolution of the University of Pennsylvania's medical school and surgery department, America's first, begun in 1765. In the turbulent times before and after the Revolution, with medicine and surgery then in a primitive state, the new school's leaders included some of America's most conspicuous political and military figures.Over the next 250 years, the new nation experienced a dozen wars, four presidential assassinations, several devastating epidemics, and the expansion of US territory nine times over. This book reveals how Penn surgeons played prominent roles in these events as well as in the concomitant medical advances, such as anesthesia, antisepsis, heart surgery, x-rays, transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, intravenous nutrition, and gene therapy. Biographical sketches of the nineteen chairmen who have guided Penn Surgery over its development detail the department's progress and depict some of its setbacks. These trailblazers wrote the first text- books, taught the first classes, started the field's journals, and led its academic organizations. By inventing new procedures, they saved countless lives. But by ignoring antisepsis, they lost many others. They operated on paupers, prisoners, Supreme Court justices, and gravely wounded presidents. Three of them became US Surgeon Generals. Others fought duels, explored the frozen Arctic seas, and conducted clandestine love affairs. In war, they parachuted behind enemy lines and invented SCUBA to disrupt enemy shipping. They built World War II's largest hospital in the Burmese jungle to care for wounded commandos, and in Korea's MASH tents they were the real-life Hawkeyes struggling to save the lives of stricken GIs. This is the story of how surgery evolved to its present, still imperfect, form, and of the role played by the doctors of the University of Pennsylvania in advancing the surgeon's science and art.

Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of Self-Expression...
It could easily be argued that body art is more popular now than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea. Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady. I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.

Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady. This doesn't work so well for men, for obvious reasons! You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds. The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days - it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month's holiday! In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running! The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications. So, as an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

Particularly relevant to plastic surgery trainees, it will also be of value to the specialist as a reference text and to health professionals in allied specialties.
Architecture of Human Living Fascia
This unique book illustrates the structure of the fascia in the living human being. Dr Guimberteau's photographs provide a detailed account of fascial architecture. He is the first person to publish video "movies" showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to it. The accompanying text explains what the photographs mean, clarifies the importance of the fascia, and sets out the implications of these findings for everyday therapeutic practice. This beautifully illustrated book provides an introduction to Dr Guimberteau's groundbreaking work. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the "microvacuole" is the basic functional unit. His films confirm the continuity of fibres throughout the body thereby seeming to confirm the tensegrity theory, which provides the basis of many manual therapy and bodywork teachings. His work ties in with that of Donald Ingber on tensegrity within the cytoskeleton, and adds to the evidence linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix as described by James Oschman. The book provides, for the first time, an explanatory introduction and explanation of these theories. This material will be highly valued by osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors and others as it provides part of the scientific underpinning of their techniques, as well as an explanation of what is happening when they use those techniques to treat their clients.So Guimberteau's material confirms what manual therapists already believed but didn't fully understand. He has provided an explanation of how fascial layers slide over each other and how adjacent structures can move independently in different directions and at different speeds while maintaining the stability of the surrounding tissues.
Datta’s Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook
For more than two decades, anesthesiologists and obstetricians have turned to this handbook as the definitive reference for obstetric anesthesia. Authoritative yet concise, it has been designed as a practical guide to all aspects of anesthesia for childbirth and related obstetric procedures, including perinatal pharmacology, relief of labor pain, fetal monitoring, anesthesia for cesarean delivery, high risk pregnancy, and in vitro fertilization.The sixth edition of Datta's Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook has been revised to update the content and help expedite the retrieval of the most pertinent information.

Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy
Illustrations drawn from real specimens, presented in surface-to-deep dissection sequence, set Grant's Atlas of Anatomy apart as the most accurate illustrated reference available for learning human anatomy and referencing in dissection lab. A recent edition featured re-colorization of the original Grant's Atlas images from high-resolution scans, also adding a new level of organ luminosity and tissue transparency. The dissection illustrations are supported by descriptive text legends with clinical insights, summary tables, orientation and schematic drawings, and medical imaging. Renowned, high-resolution, dynamically colored illustrations organized in dissection sequence enable the formation of 3D constructs for each body region and provide detailed, realistic reference during dissection. Tables detail muscles, vessels, and other anatomic information in an easy-to-use format ideal for review and study. Enhanced medical imaging includes more than 100 clinically significant MRIs, CT images, ultrasound scans, and corresponding orientation drawings to help students confidently apply the laboratory experience to clinical rotations. Color schematic illustrations reinforce the relationships of structures and anatomical concepts in vibrant detail.
