Our increased understanding of health and disease coupled with major technologic advances has resulted in rapid and significant changes in the practice of medicine. How we prepare physicians for clinical practice 20, 30, or 40 years from now is of paramount importance to medical educators, to the future professionals, and to society at large. Implementing Biomedical Innovations into Health, Education, and Practice delves into this important question, discussing the effects of precision medicine, bioinformatics, biologic and environmental forces, and societal shifts on the physician''s approach to diagnosis and therapy. The author interviewed world-renowned physicians, medical educators, healthcare leaders, and research professionals-their insights and quotes are woven throughout the narrative. Professionally illustrated, this relevant resource is a must-have for all medical professionals who incorporate technology and biomedical innovations in their research and clinical practice. It encourages thoughtful analysis on adapting and developing the foundational knowledge, skills, and aptitudes of future physicians and other healthcare professionals, and it belongs in your library. "Having completed deanship at one of America''s leading medical schools, Jim Woolliscroft produces an insightful, contemplative projection of the likely skill and behavioral needs of the physician workforce for the mid-21st century...The result is a playbook for physician training that responds effectively to the daunting challenges faced in the coming transformation of the role of physicians in protecting the health of our nation.” James L. Madara, MD, CEO, American Medical Association "Dr. Woolliscroft''s provocative new book will become must reading for all who are serious about educating the next generation of physicians and health care leaders. Leveraging his own experience as a consummate educator and interviews with numerous thought leaders, he identifies the uncertainties, challenges and disruptions to the practice of medicine in the decades ahead. The implications and imperatives for the coming generations of physicians are compelling and of critical importance for care givers, policy makers, and most pointedly educators in the U.S. and around the world.” Gary S. Kaplan MD, Chairman and CEO, Virginia Mason Health System "This ambitious masterpiece, by one of the leading medical educators of our time, fully captures the ongoing changes and disruptions in medicine today, and how they will influence the care of patients and the training of young physicians in the future.” Eric Topol, MD, Executive Vice President, Scripps Research, Author of Deep Medicine Discusses likely technologic disruptors: sensors, AI, machine learning, and roboticsHighlights microbiota, genetics, molecular biology, gene therapy, and regenerative and precision medicine as likely disruptorsPresents an intriguing set of scenarios depicting the life of future physicians

"The Teeth of Mammalian Vertebrates is an important reference for researchers in dentistry, comparative morphology, anthropology, and vertebrate palaeontology, and those with an interest in exploring and understanding diversity. The book provides a comprehensive and informed analysis of mammalian dentitions and highlights the importance of teeth as drivers and mirrors of evolution and diversity." - Journal of Anatomy   The Teeth of Mammalian Vertebrates presents a comprehensive survey of mammalian dentitions that is based on material gathered from museums and research workers from around the world. The teeth are major factors in the success of mammals, and knowledge of tooth form and function is essential in mammalian biology. Illustrated with high-quality color photographs of skulls and dentitions, together with X-rays, CT images and histology, this book reveals the tremendous variety of tooth form and structure in mammals. Written by two internationally-recognized experts in dental anatomy, the book provides an up-to-date account of how teeth are adapted to acquiring and processing food. With its companion volume, this book provides a complete survey of the teeth of vertebrates. It is the ideal resource for students and researchers in zoology, biology, anthropology, archaeology and dentistry. Provides a comprehensive account of mammalian dentitions, together with helpful reading listsIllustrated by 900 high-quality photographs, X-rays, CT scans and histological images from leading researchers and world class museum collectionDepicts lateral and occlusal views of the skull and dentition, which conveys a much greater level of morphological detail than line drawings Contains clear-and-concise, up-to-date reviews of the structure and properties of dental tissues, especially the enamel and tooth support system, both of which play vital roles in the functioning of the mammalian dentition

This book covers a range of addictions in adolescents, including alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, eating, gambling, internet and video games, and sex addiction.

Suitable for trainees and their mentors to use as a guide when constructing F30, F31, and F32 grant applications, this book provides F-Series grant applicants and mentors with insider knowledge on the process by which these grants are reviewed, and the extent of information required in an NRSA training grant.

How can problems be avoided? Why do some restructured markets appear to function better than others? Which regulatory mechanisms will best support these new technologies? What lessons can be learned from experiences in Norway, Australia, Texas, or the UK? This book deals with these questions.

Suitable for students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering, this title provides coverage of the important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. It features additional material on nanostructures, giving students and lecturers the most significant features of low-dimensional systems, with focus on carbon allotropes.

Designed for researchers and PhD students involved in the interpretation of vibration-rotation spectra, this book separates basic theoretical arguments, allowing readers who are concerned with applications to skip the principles while at the same time providing a sound theoretical basis for readers who are looking for foundational information.

Focuses on the interactions of climate, soil, and biota along a spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. This book details the role of animals in desert ecosystems and landscape processes, examining watershed scale processes, the ecology of ephemeral lakes, and the ecological changes identified with desertification.

Features six reviews on topics of interest to post-graduates and researchers alike.
