Basic Biostatistics for Geneticists and Epidemiologists: A Practical Approach

Basic Biostatistics for Geneticists and Epidemiologists: A Practical Approach (Paperback)

by Robert C. Elston (Author), William Johnson (Author) 

Anyone who attempts to read genetics or epidemiology research literature needs to understand the essentials of biostatistics. This book, a revised new edition of the successfulEssentials of Biostatistics has been written to provide such an understanding to those who have little or no statistical background and who need to keep abreast of new findings in this fast moving field. Unlike many other elementary books on biostatistics, the main focus of this book is to explain basic concepts needed to understand statistical procedures.

This Book:

• Surveys basic statistical methods used in the genetics and epidemiology literature, including maximum likelihood and least squares.
• Introduces methods, such as permutation testing and bootstrapping, that are becoming more widely used in both genetic and epidemiological research.

• Is illustrated throughout with simple examples to clarify the statistical methodology.
• Explains Bayes’ theorem pictorially.
• Features exercises, with answers to alternate questions, enabling use as a course text.

Written at an elementary mathematical level so that readers with high school mathematics will find the content accessible. Graduate students studying genetic epidemiology, researchers and practitioners from genetics, epidemiology, biology, medical research and statistics will find this an invaluable introduction to statistics.

Basics: Anesthesia Intensive Care and Pain in Neonates and Children

Basics: Anesthesia Intensive Care and Pain in Neonates and Children

* Publisher: Springer* Number Of Pages: 260* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8847006546* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788847006546
Product Description:The volume deals with the basic aspects of anaesthesia, IC and pain in neonates and children. Topics covered here include anatomy and physiology, strategies to be adopted in the treatment of these patients, the use of “off-label” pharmacological agents within paediatric perioperative medicine. Internationally recognised guidelines aimed at standardising the most important procedures, such as the treatment of hypothermia, central venous catheterisation techniques, or prevention of catheter-induced infections are also discussed.

Epiduroscopy - Spinal Endoscopy

ISBN: 9783540875444

Autor: Günter Schütze

Editora: Springer

Endoscopy of the spinal canal – epiduroscopy (EDS) – has proven to be a safe, efficient and future-oriented interventional endoscopic procedure for everyday clinical use in diagnosing and managing pain syndromes.
Epiduroscopy can be used in the sacral, lumbar, thoracic and even cervical regions of the spine to identify pathological structures, carry out tissue biopsies and perform epidural pain provocation tests to assess the pain relevance of visualized anomalies, making it an excellent diagnostic tool.
Spinal endoscopy allows targeted epidural analgesic pharmacologic therapy for affected nerve roots or other painful regions in the epidural space.
Treatment options provided by epiduroscopy include laser-assisted adhesiolysis or resection of pain-generating fibrosis, catheter placement, as well as support with other invasive procedures for pain relief.
Professional EDS management enhances a multimodal philosophy and opens up new treatment strategies for patients. If used early on, it can control pain well before chronicity sets in.
