Free Download Neuromuscular Fundamentals: How Our Musculature is Controlled
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367456923 | 575 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 43 MB
This book is rather unique in its approach and coverage. The approach is essentially that of an engineering textbook, emphasizing the quantitative aspects and highlighting the fundamentals and basic concepts involved. The coverage progresses in a logical and systematic manner from the subcellular, starting with the electrophysiology of the cell membrane, then proceeding to synapses, neurons, and muscle, before considering neuronal motor ensembles and the neuromuscular system as a whole. Simple, clear, and comprehensive explanations are given throughout. After an introductory chapter on some background material in biology, biophysics, and chemical kinetics, a substantial part of the book (Chapters 2-8) necessarily covers in considerable detail the basic components and processes that underlie the electrical and associated activities of the nervous system. The remaining chapters of the book (Chapters 9-13) focus on the neuromuscular system, starting with the structure of muscle cells, the generation of force by muscular contraction, and muscle receptors. The last chapter examines aspects of the control of movement, motor learning and memory, the maintenance of posture, and locomotion, and critically examines some of the theories that have been advanced to explain how movement is controlled. The book is intended for undergraduate or graduate students in the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering who seek a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of neuroscience and the somatomotor system, in accordance with the aforementioned objectives. The book can serve as a textbook for a one-semester course on the neuromuscular system or as a reference in a more general course on neuroscience.

Free Download Neuromuscular Disorders: A Comprehensive Review with Illustrative Cases
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819790093 | 874 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 91 MB
This book provides a concise overview of the diagnosis, therapy, and recent updates of various neuromuscular disorders in tabulated form and with illustrative cases. Treating neuromuscular disorders requires a sound, step-by-step clinical approach based on differential diagnosis and laboratory investigations. Yet to date, no single, compact book offers all the relevant information about managing these disorders. This book fills that gap, presenting the state of the art in the field and addressing practical problems with their solutions. Each chapter covers disorder characteristics, clinical differentiating points, relevant investigations, and their interpretation, available genetic testing, best management approaches, and counseling. Illustrative cases provide valuable insights, while extensive tables and illustrations will be helpful for the Neurologist, neuromuscular specialist, Neurology resident, Physician, and physiotherapist.

Free Download Pulmonary Complications of Neuromuscular Disease by Noah Lechtzin
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 389 Pages | ISBN : 3031653343 | 27.2 MB
This book provides clinicians with a comprehensive resource on the topic of respiratory complications of neuromuscular disease. It includes chapters by neurologists, pediatric pulmonologists, adult pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, and sleep physicians. The book begins with a review of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the neuromuscular diseases that affect the respiratory system. It then includes chapters on pediatric concerns and the transition from pediatric providers to adult providers. There is additionally a focus on various therapeutic approaches and the monitoring of noninvasive ventilation. Finally, it includes a chapters on secretion clearance, palliative care and end of life decision making. The book appeals to a broad medical audience including adult pulmonologists, pediatric pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, nurses, sleep medicine providers, and neurologists.

Free Download Neuromuscular Monitoring by Thomas Fuchs-Buder
English | PDF | 2010 | 219 Pages | ISBN : 3642134769 | 20 MB
Neuromuscular monitoring is critical for the judicious use of muscle relaxants. In combination with reversal, it is fundamental to every successful strategy for managing postoperative residual blocks. This reference work is a compendium of all the essential information needed to monitor neuromuscular function. Physiological and pharmacological basics of neuromuscular transmission, principles of neuromuscular monitoring: How to place stimulation electrodes, properly select the stimulation mode and interprete findings, practical techniques for clinical routine, clinical concepts behind qualitative and quantitative nerve stimulators, comprehensive presentation of acceleromyography including a question & answer section, summaries of all key points, current guidelines on the scientific use of acceleromyography.
