Because of this very quality and the ghastly reputation associated with the medical consequences of its bite, it has become infamous throughout North America. Although recluse spiders can cause serious skin injuries and, in very rare cases, death, the danger posed by this spider is often exaggerated as a result of arachnophobia and the misdiagnosis of non-spider-related conditions as brown recluse bites. These misdiagnoses often occur in areas of North America where the spider does not exist, making legitimate bites improbable. One of the greatest factors that keeps the myths alive is misidentification of common (and harmless) spiders as brown recluses. With this book, Richard S. Vetter hopes to educate readers regarding the biology of the spider and medical aspects of its bites, to reduce the incidence of misdiagnoses, and to quell misplaced anxiety.In The Brown Recluse Spider, Vetter covers topics such as taxonomy, identification, misidentification, life history characteristics and biology, medical aspects of envenomations, medical conditions misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, other spider species of medical consideration (several of which have been wrongly implicated as threats to human health), and the psychology behind the entrenched reasons why people believe so deeply in the presence of the spider in the face of strong, contradictory information. Vetter also makes recommendations for control of the spider for households in areas where the spiders are found and describes other species of recluse spiders in North America. Although The Brown Recluse Spider was written for a general audience, it is also a valuable source of information for arachnologists and medical personnel.Brown recluse spiderElectronic books.Brown recluse spider.595.4/4Vetter Richard S.1955-1039369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463468703321The brown recluse spider2461554UNINA03694nam 22008413 450 991100665410332120250418195811.09786610956210978110708608111070860869781280956218128095621697805118092170511809212978051135173005113517399780511272813051127281297805116490350511649037978051156734605115673409781601197481160119748997805112736050511273606(CKB)1000000000352837(EBL)288632(SSID)ssj0000072393(PQKBManifestationID)11107200(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000072393(PQKBWorkID)10094734(PQKB)11250846(MiAaPQ)EBC288632(MiAaPQ)EBC4949671(UkCbUP)CR9780511809217(Au-PeEL)EBL4949671(CaONFJC)MIL95621(OCoLC)1024245167(PPN)261325256(MiAaPQ)EBC31953016(EXLCZ)99100000000035283720250418d2007 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIntroductory biomechanics from cells to organisms /C.

It provides a broad overview of this important branch of the rapidly growing field of bioengineering. A wide selection of topics is presented, ranging from the mechanics of single cells to the dynamics of human movement. No prior biological knowledge is assumed and in each chapter, the relevant anatomy and physiology are first described. The biological system is then analyzed from a mechanical viewpoint by reducing it to its essential elements, using the laws of mechanics and then tying mechanical insights back to biological function. This integrated approach provides students with a deeper understanding of both the mechanics and the biology than from qualitative study alone. The text is supported by a wealth of illustrations, tables and examples, a large selection of suitable problems and hundreds of current references, making it an essential textbook for any biomechanics course.Cambridge texts in biomedical engineering.BiomechanicsBiomechanicsProblems, exercises, etcBiomechanics.Biomechanics571.43Ethier C.
