A Clinical Atlas Of Roentgenographic Measurements In Norma Frontalis

A sequel to the monograph concerning roentgenocephalometry in Norma Lateralis, this book contains clinically relevant and diagnostically significant craniofacial measurements in Norma Frontalis for use as growth standards--accurate standards being essential to the clinical appraisal and delineation of craniofacial genetic syndromes and defects. The atlas provides age and sex-specific growth standards, as well as percentile estimates for 95 measurement norms and ten proportional norms of North Americans (306 females, 236 males) of European ancestry, ranging in age from 3 1/2 to 60 years. As such, these normative standards provide an objective and reliable data base for evaluating individual growth, studying developmental changes as a consequence of the growth process, and characterizing aberrant growth patterns. Data evaluates sex-specific age effects by plotting bivariate relationships between each measurement and chronological age (3 1/2-25 yrs.); regression equations are used to make ``adult'' growth projections. Includes data on 34 sets of height, width and depth measurements for evaluation of symmetry/asymmetry in various anatomic components of the face.

This clinically focused, practical reference is a complete guide to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. The opening sections explain basic definitions, sleep monitoring, and normal human sleep. A clinical presentations section details how to approach diagnosis based upon patients' complaints, as well as unique features of the child, adolescent, or older adult with sleep problems. Subsequent sections address specific sleep disorders and sleep disorders in patients with other medical and psychiatric conditions. Chapters have been critically edited by experts from multiple specialties, follow a standardized template, and include bulleted lists, tables, and clinical pearls. Appendices include information on polysomnography, sleep questionnaires, and starting a sleep disorders facility.

This is a state-of-the-art text that delivers the basic concepts, diagnosis and management of plastic, oral and maxillofacial surgery in young adults. Authoritative coverage is presented by a world renowned expert in the field. Over 3,000 images -- including line illustrations and photographs -- support detailed discussion of: craniosynostosis, craniofacial dysostoses syndromes, craniofacial syndromes and anomalies, congenital growths, benign and malignant head and neck tumors, trauma injuries, the cleft lip and palate.

The comparative study of humans as biological organisms, their evolution, and their physiological and anatomical functions and ecology of primates surveys the entire field and summarizes and organizes the basic knowledge, fundamental principles and development.
