Alchimia e neuroscienze: la mente perfetta. Testi alchemici commentati secondo le scienze della mente
a cura di Associazione culturale Graziano Querci
editore: Mimesis
pagine: 136
Dopo "L'albero verde della vita. Passi sul sentiero di una mistica del cervello" (Mimesis 2005) e "La mente che genera se stessa. Corpo e cervello, alchimia e mistica" (Mimesis 2006), continua con il presente lavoro l'opera di affiancamento della Tradizione e delle Neuroscienze. Il testo qui proposto si sofferma in particolare su alcuni autori della tradizione alchemica, i cui scritti e le cui raffigurazioni enigmatiche vengono riletti alla luce delle moderne scienze che studiano la mente e il cervello. Dietro le immagini fantastiche e gli enigmi verbali, sono spesso velati modi e percorsi empirici di conoscenza di sé e della mente umana, così sorprendenti, per gli stessi ricercatori dell'alchimia e della mistica, da dover essere occultati. Le Neuroscienze, nel loro enorme progredire e vagliare tutte le attività del pensiero dell'uomo, comprese quelle della ricerca inferiore e dell'ascesi, offrono una possibile rilettura in chiave moderna dei temi della Tradizione.
Otoneurologia. Semeiotica e clinica
David Megighian
editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 278
L'idea di raccogliere in un testo i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici è nata dal desiderio di offrire ai Colleghi, non solo Otoiatri, Oculisti, Neurologi, Neurochirurghi, la possibilità di una facile consultazione di queste forme cliniche che col trascorre del tempo hanno richiamato un interesse sempre più vasto. Infatti, molte delle manifestazioni otoneurologiche rappresentano una parte di rilievo del corredo sintomatologico di numerose malattie a carattere generale la cui valutazione diagnostica richiede un contributo pluridisciplinare. A brevi note sull'anatomia e fisiologia del Sistema vestibolare, segue la descrizione delle caratteristiche semeiologiche delle lesioni otoneurologiche e delle indagini cliniche che vengono eseguite sul paziente per una corretta valutazione diagnostica. Nel secondo e terzo Capitolo sono descritti i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici d'origine periferica e centrale. La numerosa casistica, corredata da referti elettronistagmografici e neuroradiologici appartiene al Servizio di Otoneurologia della Clinica ORL di Padova, che ho diretto per oltre trent'anni.

The English Edition contains a few differences from the first ItaHan Edition, which require an explanation. Firstly, some imag- es, especially some 3D reconstructions, have been modified in order to make them clearer. Secondly, in agreement with the Publisher, we have disowned one of our statements in the preface to the Italian Edition. Namely, we have now added a brief introductory text for each section, by way of explanation to the anatomical and physiological notes. This should make it easier for the reader to understand and refer to this Atlas. These differences derive from our experience with the previous edition and are meant to be an improvement thereof Hopefully, there will be more editions to follow, so that we may further improve our work and keep ourselves busy on lone- some evenings. Finally, the improvements in this edition are a reminder to the reader that one should never purchase the first edition of a work. UAquila, January 2006 The Authors Preface to the Italian Edition I have been meaning to publish an atlas of neuroradiologic cranio-encephaHc anatomy for at least the last decade. Normal anatomy has always been of great and charming interest to me. Over the years, while preparing lectures for my students, I have always enjoyed lingering on anatomical details that today are rendered with astonishing realism by routine diagnostic ima- ging.
Psychoneuroimmunology
Robert Ader
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 1320
Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions among behavioral, neural and endocrine, and immunologic processes of adaptation. These two volumes provide a clearly written, extensively referenced summary of some of the behavioral, neural and endocrine regulators of immune responses and immunologically mediated disease processes and of the behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of immune system activity. Several chapters expand upon topics reviewed in earlier editions of this series; most chapters cover active areas of research that have not previously been reviewed. As illustrated in this fourth edition, interdisciplinary research continues to provide evidence that the brain and immune system represent a single, integrated system of defense. It is fully revised and updated fourth edition of the classic reference. It provides a neuroendocrine and immunologic perspective for the behavioral scientist. It provides a behavioral and neuroscience perspective for the immunologist. It helps the reader translate basic science findings into clinically relevant information. It provides the reader with the background for and foundation of integrative research and integrative medicine. It provides an encyclopedic resource for advanced undergraduates and for pre - and post-doctoral students as well as active researchers.

Diagnostic Neuropathology Smears
Jeffrey T. Joseph
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 256
This textbook provides practical information on how to perform and interpret smears and use smears for diagnostic intraoperative neuropathology. The book covers most aspects of brain biopsies that require intraoperative or "frozen section" diagnosis, including tumors, non-neoplastic lesions, infectious diseases, and metastases to the brain. The author also discusses more general aspects of smears, including their preparation and general interpretation. Emphasis is on the structural information about brain lesions supplied by the technique of smears, as well as the patterns of smears produced by different tumors. More than 200 full-color illustrations complement the text.

Mal di testa, addio!
Anne MacGregor , Cesare Peccarisi
editore: Sperling & Kupfer
pagine: 266
Di mal di testa soffrono milioni di persone, che durante gli attacchi trovano difficile, e spesso impossibile, lavorare, sbrigare le faccende domestiche, incontrare amici, stare alla luce del sole... insomma: vivere! Per risolverlo, provano magari a eliminare i fattori di rischio, ma come si fa a individuare ed eliminare ogni "colpevole"? È colpa del cibo, del clima o degli ormoni? Per non parlare delle posture errate, dello stress sul lavoro o in famiglia o, addirittura, di una predisposizione innata. Che fare, dunque? In questo libro due specialisti del settore, autori anche di libri divulgativi destinati tanto ai medici quanto al grande pubblico, spiegano tutto quello che c'è da sapere su emicranie e cefalee, comprese le più moderne strategie di cura.

Alzheimer
editore: Di Renzo Editore
pagine: 177
I fenomeni complessi non possono essere compresi utilizzando semplici modelli causa-effetto. Per capire i fenomeni complessi serve una matematica complessa e i sistemi artificiali adattivi sono il prodotto in divenire di queste nuove ideazioni della matematica. Si tratta di sistemi creati al computer capaci di usare il tempo per adattarsi alle condizioni ambientali, per apprendere dall'esperienza ed evolversi. La malattia di Alzheimer è un esempio paradigmatico di una disciplina medica nella quale il concetto di complessità è all'ordine del giorno e proprio sulle sue problematiche cliniche, biologiche e neurofisiologiche sono state messe alla prova le potenzialità delle reti neurali e degli "organismi artificiali".
