IgM and Its Receptors and Binding Proteins

 Uncategorized  Comments Off on IgM and Its Receptors and Binding Proteins
Feb 082018
 

This volume reviews the current state of research on the IgM antibody and its multiple receptors and binding proteins. Interactions of the IgM ligands with these molecules are important for protection against infections as a first line of defense, as well as for regulation of immune responses to pathogens and self-antigens. The book includes up-to-date information on: (i) the phylogeny of three IgM-binding receptors [polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR), Fc receptor for both IgA and IgM (Fcα/µR), and Fc receptor for IgM only (FcµR)]; (ii) the lymphocyte-restricted distribution and unique ligand-binding activity of FcµR; (iii) the definition and potential function of Fc receptor-like molecule A (FCRLA) as a resident endoplasmic reticulum protein that binds IgM, but also IgG and IgA; (iv) IgM antibody-mediated enhancement of humoral immune responses, highlighting the importance of complement and its receptors, (v) the numerous important roles of IgM natural antibodies in regulation of inflammation. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.

Temporal Bone Dissection Guide, Second Edition

 Surgery  Comments Off on Temporal Bone Dissection Guide, Second Edition
Feb 082018
 

Every trainee needs a personal copy of this book. If you just buy one for the laboratory, it will ‘walk’ within days. – The Journal of Laryngology & Otology

…exceptionally well done. It is accessible for interns starting in the temporal bone lab but contains enough depth for upper level residents and fellows. It is well written and contains excellent illustrations and video content. – Otology & Neurotology

This would make an excellent tool for any resident or young faculty member interested in improving their understanding of temporal bone anatomy. – Young Neurosurgeons’ News

The second edition of this indispensable guide provides a step-by-step approach to learning the anatomy and principal procedures of temporal bone dissection starting with mastoidectomy and including approaches to the internal auditory canal and jugular foramen. The renowned authors share their collective wisdom and pearls gleaned from years of treating patients with temporal bone disease and teaching these methodologies to medical students, residents, and fellows. Procedural details are presented throughout 10 detailed chapters, accompanied by beautiful sequential illustrations and videos.

One of the most complex regions of the human body, the temporal bone and adjacent skull base present unique surgical challenges. Critical neurovascular structures traverse complex pathways through the temporal bone, which itself has highly variable anatomy. Tumors and erosive lesions create additional anatomical barriers that make effective access and resection of diseased areas difficult. At the same time, the surgical skills required to navigate this anatomy are indispensable to the management of ear disease and associated disability, and provide alternative approaches with less morbidity to intracranial pathology. This book presents technical and strategic considerations for safe and effective temporal bone surgery.

Key Highlights:

Videos of cadaveric and surgical dissections highlight critical technical steps and appropriate execution
More than 160 meticulous, expertly illustrated pen and ink drawings of progressive dissections
A new chapter on middle ear endoscopy details key anatomical features and technical maneuvers integral to this approach
New chapters on infratemporal surgical dissection and the intraoperative management of complications are also presented
Expanded coverage of the middle fossa approach to the internal auditory canal and methods of assessing competencies when training novice surgeons in temporal bone dissection
This is a must-have tool that will enable residents and novice surgeons to translate laboratory skills to the operating room and perform safe, efficacious and efficient dissection of the temporal bone. It is the quintessential learning guide for residents in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and skull base surgery, as well as an excellent teaching and assessment tool for faculty.
