Bone Tumours in Man and Animals
by L. N. OwenBone Tumours in Man and Animals covers advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of bone neoplasia in humans and animals as well as their diagnosis and treatment. In the case of animals, particular emphasis is placed on dogs. This book is comprised of 15 chapters and begins by introducing the reader to the principles of diagnosis, including biopsy and bone scanning, and methods of treatment employed for bone tumors in human and animal patients, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The following chapters focus on bone cysts and benign tumors of osseous origin; osteosarcoma in humans and animals such as dogs, cats, and mice; and tumors of cartilaginous origin such as solitary enchondroma, enchondromatosis, chondroblastoma, and chondromyxoid fibroma. Tumors arising from fibrous, fatty, neurological, or undifferentiated connective tissue are also considered, along with those arising from bone marrow or lymphoid tissue. This book concludes by offering suggestions for future research. This text is intended for clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists, both medical and veterinary, as well as for biologists, biochemists, and radiation physicists.
Bones: General Practice - The Integrative Approach Series
by Kerryn Phelps Craig HassedBones - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. Bones are complex organs with many important functions, the most obvious being structural. They provide support for the body and the means by which muscles can insert into fixed structures in order to allow movement. They are also important in hearing, through the transduction of sound via the ear’s ossicles, and they protect other soft organs that are easily damaged, such as the brain, eyes, kidneys, lungs and spleen. Bone marrow, which is largely within the medulla of the long bones, is the centre for production of blood cells (haematopoesis) and an important site for storage of fatty acids. Bones also have important metabolic functions. This chapter describes the following conditions affecting bones: osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, Paget’s disease and bone cancer.
Bones: Orthopaedic Pathologies in Roman Imperial Age
by Andrea Piccioli Valentina Gazzaniga Paola CatalanoThis book presents the results of a unique macroscopic and radiological analysis, by X-ray and CT scan, of the bone pathologies of about 1800 subjects who lived at the time of the Roman Empire (first and second centuries A.D.) and whose remains were recovered during the excavation of a suburban necropolis of Rome. The survey, which represents a collaboration between the Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology and the Special Superintendent for the Archaeological Heritage of Rome, has yielded incredible images of different orthopaedic diseases in a period when no surgical treatment was available: there are cases of infection (osteomyelitis), metabolic disease (gout), hematologic disease (multiple myeloma), traumatic lesions and their complications and degenerative pathology (osteoarthritis, particularly secondary and overload). A multidisciplinary team including orthopaedists, paleopathologists, radiologists and medical historians has evaluated the major groups of bone disease in the population finding out incredible cases and picture of ortho-traumatologic pathologies in a pre-surgical era. The homogeneity of the sample and the number of subjects make this a study of fundamental importance.
Bones and Joints: 170 Radiological Exercises for Students and Practitioners (Exercises in Radiological Diagnosis)
by Michel RungeOsteoarticular pathology is a very frequent motive for consultation. Very often, the diagnosis relies upon symptomatology, and the physi cian requires confirmatory radiological investigations. Whatever the clinical indication, the interpretation of radiological data must be very rigorous. On the basis of a complete description of the radiographic images, according to a systematic analysis plan, a certain number of diagnostic hypotheses may be proposed. Selection of the most likely hypothesis requires the correlation of clinical, biological, and radiological data, and may sometimes necessi tate additional investigations, such as tomograms, scintigrams, and computed tomography (CT). 1 Part One Iconography 3 3 1 2 4 5 5 6 6 7 8 b a 8 a 9 10 11 12 10 13 14 11 15 a b 12 a c 13 17 b a c 14 15 c 16 17 23 21 a 22 b 18 19 20 21 22 23 33 34 24 25 37 38 26 27 40- 43 28 29 46 30 48 47 31 49 50 32 33 52 a b c 34 53 a b d c 35 54 a b 36 37 55 a 38 55 b c 39 56 57 40 58 41 60 61 42 43 63 64 44 65 66 45 67 68 46 69 a b 47 70 71 48 73 49 74 75 50 76 77 51 78 79 52 80 a b c 53 81 82 54 83 84 55 85 86 S6 87 88 57 89 90 58 91 92

Bones and Joints in Diabetes Mellitus (Series in Radiology #4)
by S. ForgácsComplex disorders of the carbohydrate metabolism and associated complications cause many abnormalities detectable by radiography in the bones and joints. Mild clinical symptoms associated with very severe radiological changes were first rec ognized in relation to the gastroenterologic complications of diabetes. This phenomenon is more frequent in the skeletal system. For example, mild and painless swelling of the foot joints may often mask extremely severe bone destruction. Several other bone changes associated with diabetes are only detectable by radiography. Thus, the radiologist plays an important role in confirming these diabetic complications, furthermore he is involved in the therapeutic management of the patient. Although many details on this subject have been published, however no summarizing monograph has yet appeared. Manuals discussing diabetes include only short reviews on complications of the osseous system. The fact that the incidence of diabetes is very high, at present 1 %-2 % of the population is affected and their number is gradually increasing - dis plays the timeliness of this subject. Fifty years of experience with insulin therapy indicates that several important problems still remain to be solved. Insulin and modern oral antidia betic drugs proved extremely efficient in the management of hyperglycemia and ketosis, but the incidence of other complications has not decreased. Moreover, as the number of diabetics and their life expectancy increase, late complications become likewise more fre quent. Diabetic osteoarthropathy is one of these complications.
The bones of the human head and neck (large print)
by RnibThis image shows the bones of the human head and neck seen from the side. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The skull is at the top of the page and the neck goes from the centre of the page down to the bottom right of the page. The skull is facing to the left. In the left centre of the face on the left is the oval eye cavity. The cavity is much larger than the size of the eyeball because of the fatty tissue which surrounds and protects the eyeball. Down from the cavity are the upper and lower teeth. The lower teeth are set in the body of the jawbone (mandible) which goes to the right and then up at ninety degrees as the ramus. This splits near the skull, the part on the left tucks under the Zygomatic arch and has muscle attachments to move the jaw. The part to the right goes up and forms a joint with the skull that allows the jaw to move. To the right is the small oval opening to the auditory canal. The top and right of the image is the domed cranium. Down from the skull are seven cervical vertebrae of the neck and then the first four thoracic vertebrae of the chest. Each vertebra has the rectangular shaped body to the left and the neural spine to the right for back muscle attachment. The four thoracic vertebrae also have a facet for the rib at that level to attach to. They are rounded and partially overlie the neural spine of the vertebrae above it.

The toes are at the top of the page and the heel bone is at the bottom centre of the page. The big toe is at the top left and is made of two bones. The other four toes to the right are each made of three bones. Down from the toes are five long bones and then a number of square and rounded bones that form the body of the foot. The two bones just up from the heel are where the lower end of the long bones of the lower leg attach. They would come straight up towards you.
