Download or read book Surface Anatomy written by John S. P. Lumley and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2008-06-11 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and highly praised book describes the visible and palpable anatomy that forms the basis of clinical examination. The first chapter considers the anatomical terms needed for precise description of the parts of the body and movements from the anatomical positions. The remaining chapters are regionally organised and colour photographs demonstrate visible anatomy. Many of the photographs are reproduced with numbered overlays, indicating structures that can be seen, felt, moved or listened to. The surface markings of deeper structures are indicated together with common sites for injection of local anaesthetic, accessing blood vessels, biopsying organs and making incisions. The accompanying text describes the anatomical features of the illustrated structures. - Over 250 colour photographs with accompanying line drawings to indicate the position of major structures. - The seven regionally organised chapters cover all areas of male and female anatomy. - The text is closely aligned with the illustrations and highlights the relevance for the clinical examination of a patient. - Includes appropriate radiological images to aid understanding. - All line drawings now presented in colour to add clarity and improve the visual interpretation. - Includes 20 new illustrations of palpable and visible anatomy. - Revised text now more closely tied in with the text and with increasing emphasis on clinical examination of the body.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise, superbly illustrated textbook that brings together a reliable, clear and up to date guide to surface anatomy and its underlying gross anatomy, combined with a practical application of ultrasound and other imaging modalities. A thorough understanding of surface anatomy remains a critical part of clinical practice, but with improved imaging technology, portable ultrasound is also fast becoming integral to routine clinical examination and effective diagnosis. This unique new text combines these two essential approaches to effectively understanding clinical anatomy and reflects latest approaches within modern medical curricula. It is tailored specifically to the needs of medical students and doctors in training and will also prove invaluable to the wide range of allied health students and professionals who need a clear understanding of visible and palpable anatomy combined with anatomy as seen on ultrasound. - Concise text and high quality illustrations, photographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound scans provide a clear, integrated understanding of the anatomical basis for modern clinical practice - Highly accessible and at a level appropriate for medical students and a wide range of allied health students and professionals - Reflects current curriculum trend of heavily utilizing living anatomy and ultrasound to learn anatomy - An international advisory panel appointed to add expertise and ensure relevance to the variety of medical and allied health markets - Inclusion of latest ultrasound image modalities - Designed to complement and enhance the highly successful Gray's family of texts/atlases although also effective as a stand-alone or alongside other established anatomy resources

Download or read book Surface Anatomy for Clinical Needle Electromyography written by Dr. Joel A. DeLisa, MD and published by Demos Medical. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From residents to seasoned practitioners, a detailed knowledge of surface and functional anatomy is essential before a needle electrode can be inserted into a muscle with optimal effectiveness and minimal discomfort to the patient. This book, written by long-time experts in the field, gives the tools for conducting an accurate, well tolerated needle EMG examination - based on identifiable landmarks and a keen understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy. Highlights of this practical clinical resource: Each muscle is systematically described by its origin, insertion, innervation, and action. Optimal patient positioning and the needle electrode location, as well as the brief clinical notes, allow easy access to any relevant topics Exquisite illustrations throughout highlight clinical landmarks and aid in needle electrode placement, especially in deep muscles that may be difficult to identify Anatomic guidelines for the entire body are covered in twelve comprehensive sections Alternative methods of needle placement are discussed and compared For all electromyographers in practice and training, this book offers key information for minimizing the number of needle penetrations, reducing patient discomfort, shortening the length of the examination, and obtaining precise diagnostic information. Especially when dealing with an uncooperative or limited patient, it allows the electromyographer to visualize the underlying anatomy and electrode path for maximum results. Find these typical guidelines for muscle sampling: Work from proximal to distal in the limb, as the proximal muscles are usually less sensitive to needle insertion than the distal small muscles Test the weakest muscle first, as it has the greatest probability for revealing abnormalities. However, interpret carefully as the end stage of muscle pathology does not reveal significant findings. Examine less painful muscles first intrinsic muscles of the hands and feet are usually very sensitive. Be aware that some patients prefer needle EMG to the shocks associated with nerve conduction studies. Consult an expert before proceeding with studies on unfamiliar muscles -- and take all necessary precautions when planning the examination. "
