Sommario/riassunto

Ab dem späten 8. Jahrhundert segelten Wikinger in die Irische See, und die Chroniken zeichnen über Jahrzehnte ein eindeutiges Bild von ihnen als Heiden und Piraten. Dass sie auch auf die Isle of Man gelangten und sich dort ansiedelten, belegen reiche archäologische Zeugnisse. In Bezug auf Chronologie und Charakter der skandinavischen Anwesenheit auf Man führen aber in der Forschung zwei unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen zu zwei ebenso unterschiedlichen und unvereinbaren Ergebnissen. So sind zentrale Punkte nicht gesichert: Zum einen, wann der erste Kontakt und wann eine dauerhafte Ansiedlung stattgefunden haben; zum anderen, ob die Insel Opfer von Raubzügen und gewaltsam erobert und besetzt wurde oder ob man sich eher friedlich ansiedeln konnte, und wie in der Folge beide Gruppen mit- oder gegeneinander auf Man lebten. Diesen Fragen wird hier erstmals detailliert nachgegangen: Eine sorgfältige quellenkritische Untersuchung der archäologischen, historischen, literarischen, kunsthistorischen und epigraphischen Zeugnisse stellt das verfügbare Quellenmaterial dar, hinterfragt traditionelle Paradigmen, diskutiert ihre Schlüsse und formuliert eine neue These zur Rekonstruktion der frühen Wikingerzeit auf der Isle of Man.

Sommario/riassunto

"Senior author Dr. Andrew Blitzer is an internationally renowned pioneer on the use of botulinum neurotoxin for functional disorders, with unparalleled expertise on this topic. Joined by co-editors Brian Benson and Diana Kirke, with multidisciplinary contributors, Botulinum Neurotoxin for Head and Neck Disorders Second Edition fills a gap in the medical literature. The unique textbook focuses on the use of botulinum neurotoxins for functional disorders of the head and neck, though with some aesthetic indications. The second edition reflects the latest advances and understanding of existing and emerging applications for botulinum neurotoxins, including new treatment paradigms, revised pharmacology, and an updated review of the literature in all chapters. Twenty superbly illustrated chapters cover the management of hyperfunctional, pain, and hypersecretory syndromes of the head and neck. Hyperfunctional motor disorders are discussed in chapters focused on blepharospasm, facial dystonia, Meige syndrome, oromandibular dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia (laryngeal dystonia), and cervical dystonia. Specific treatment approaches for pain are addressed in chapters on migraine and chronic daily tension headaches, temporomandibular disorders, and trigeminal neuralgia. The treatment of autonomic nervous system disorders is covered in chapters dedicated to Frey syndrome, facial hyperhydrosis, and sialorrhea"--
