While diphtheria of the respiratory tract became rare with the introduction of vaccination programs in industrialized countries, even today several thousand cases per year are reported to the World Health Organization. This shows that diphtheria is not completely eradicated and that reservoirs exist. The book summarizes the latest advances made in understanding C. diphtheriae and the closely related species Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Topics addressed are genomics of toxigenic corynebacteria, host-pathogen-interaction, detection, surveillance and treatment as well as application aspects.Medical microbiologyBacteriologyEpidemiologyParasitologyMicrobial geneticsMicrobial genomicsMedical Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003Bacteriologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23012Epidemiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000Parasitologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002Microbial Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010Medical microbiology.Bacteriology.Epidemiology.Parasitology.Microbial genetics.Microbial genomics.Medical Microbiology.Bacteriology.Epidemiology.Parasitology.Microbial Genetics and Genomics.579.135Burkovski Andreasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298302003321Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Related Toxigenic Species2505629UNINA04031nam 22005895 450 991075409490332120251008133531.03-031-40524-210.1007/978-3-031-40524-2(MiAaPQ)EBC30806111(Au-PeEL)EBL30806111(DE-He213)978-3-031-40524-2(PPN)272920177(CKB)28540028800041(EXLCZ)992854002880004120231021d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDisorders of the Vestibular System Diagnosis and Management /edited by Benjamin T.

Disorders of the Vestibular System Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031405235 Includes bibliographical references and index.The anatomy of the vestibular system -- The physiology of the vestibular system -- Tests to evaluate the vestibular function -- Meniere's Disease -- Vestibular Neuritis -- Third Mobile Window Syndromes -- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo -- Traumatic causes of Vertigo -- Vestibular Ototoxicity -- Balance and Vestibular Disorders in Children and Adolescents -- Vestibular Migraine -- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness -- Psychological Morbidity in Patients with Vestibular Disorders -- Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Patient Centered Approach -- VESTIBULAR IMPLANTS -- Aging and the vestibular system.This book gives the reader an appropriate background for diagnosing and treating patients with vestibular disorders. Most causes of vertigo can be effectively treated, and there have been major advancements in both vertigo diagnosis and treatment in recent years. Unfortunately for many practitioners, modern training in the management of vertigo was not included as part of their residency. The major barrier to effective treatment in most patients seems to be lack of awareness of the correct diagnoses and treatment options on the part of providers. This book directly addresses that knowledge gap. The text is divided into 16 chapters. The initial chapters are an overview of normal vestibular anatomy, function, and testing. The next section of the book builds on these chapters to discuss the treatment of specific disorders like Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and third mobile window conditions. The connection between vestibular disorders and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression is discussed. Recent advancements in the treatment of vestibular disorders are covered with chapters on vestibular physical therapy and vestibular implantation. The book closes with a discussion of aging and the vestibular system. Disorders of the Vestibular System is an excellent guide to this rapidly evolving field and will be of great use to physicians in otolaryngology, neurology, and general practice who are likely to encounter patients with dizziness and vertigo.OtolaryngologyNeurologyInternal medicineOtorhinolaryngologyNeurologyInternal MedicineOtolaryngology.Neurology.Internal medicine.Otorhinolaryngology.Neurology.Internal Medicine.617.882Crane Benjamin T.Lustig Lawrence R.De Souza ChrisMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910754094903321Disorders of the Vestibular System3588012UNINA
