Journal Of Anatomy And Physiology Vol 62

Excerpt from Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, Vol. 62: October Number, 1907 A study of the pulse in the jugular vein has now become established as a routine method of examining disordered hearts - an advance due to the labours of Dr James Mackenzie and of those who have adopted his method.1 With the introduction Of a new clinical method, as is also the case with a new operative procedure, certain structures and relationships assume 'an increased importance and require a fresh description. In this paper I propose to recast our description of the Structures which seem to me to be directly concerned in the production of the venous pulse - my account having reference only to the arrangement as found in the human body. I propose to deal not only with the normal but also with the disordered heart, using for this purpose the series of specimens sent to me for examination by Dr James Mackenzie. These hearts are of special value for the purpose Of study, because Dr Mackenzie had kept accurate records Of their action during many years prior to the death of the patient.

This second of two volumes on EMG (Electromyography) covers a wide range of clinical applications, as a complement to the methods discussed in volume 1. Topics range from gait and vibration analysis, through posture and falls prevention, to biofeedback in the treatment of neurologic swallowing impairment. The volume includes sections on back care, sports and performance medicine, gynecology/urology and orofacial function. Authors describe the procedures for their experimental studies with detailed and clear illustrations and references to the literature. The limitations of SEMG measures and methods for careful analysis are discussed. This broad compilation of articles discussing the use of EMG in both clinical and research applications demonstrates the utility of the method as a tool in a wide variety of disciplines and clinical fields.

Born eighteen months after the first Neanderthal skeleton was found and a year before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, Eugene Dubois vowed to discover a powerful truth in Darwin's deceptively simple ideas. There is a link, he declared, a link as yet unknown, between apes and Man. It takes a brilliant writer to elucidate a brilliant mind, and Pat Shipman shines as never before. The Man Who Found the Missing Link is an irresistible tale of adventure, scientific daring, and a strange and enduring love--and it is true.

Comprehensive Occlusal Concepts in Clinical Practice aims to provide a clear and thorough guide to the understanding and application of occlusal concepts in the dental practice, enabling dentists to gain a straightforward understanding of widely recognized occlusal principles and practices to engender longevity, predictability, and professional confidence in everyday dental procedures. Comprehensive Occlusal Concepts in Clinical Practice also features a comprehensive review of occlusal and periodontal literature, establishes occlusal principles and practice protocols as routine, and aids in developing the reader’s critical ability to know when and when not to perform occlusal therapy. This is a unique book in its scope, thoroughness, and practicality, making occlusal concepts easily understood, yet also demonstrating the specific skills needed to perform the details of a physiologic occlusal scheme.
