Item Functionally Oriented Regional Anatomy(Hayden-McNeil Publishing, 2011) Samsam, MohtashemItem Functionally Oriented Regional Anatomy(Hayden-McNeil Publishing, 2013) Samsam, MohtashemItem Functionally Oriented Regional Anatomy(Hayden-McNeil Publishing, 2015) Samsam, MohtashemItem Functionally Oriented Regional Anatomy(Hayden-McNeil Publishing, 2017) Samsam, MohtashemItem Functionally Oriented Regional Anatomy(Hayden-McNeil Publishing, 2020) Samsam, MohtashemThis book aims to teach human anatomy at a more accessible level, so that it can be used in advanced undergraduate and medical levels. Each region begins with the bones, then the muscles from superficial to the deep layers, followed by the discussion of the nerves and vessels. The order of the teaching depends on the individual instructor. Anatomy is one of the main keystones in the basic foundation of medical science. The study of regional anatomy helps create that strong foundation. When anatomy is discussed, by systems, for instance, important relations between different structures within a region may not be discussed, since each region contains parts of different systems that are not taught at the same time. Learning all of the muscles of the body within 1-2 weeks, and memorizing their function or innervation without their application in the region, or their malfunctions, including signs and symptoms and clinical correlations, may make the subject less interesting. Moreover, since a regional approach is usually followed in the medical anatomy labs, a regional anatomy book can be very helpful in making the connections between the lecture and the lab, and therefore learning the anatomy more efficiently.Item Epidemiology of Brain and Spinal Tumors(Elsevier, 2021) Samsam, MohtashemEpidemiology of Brain and Spinal Tumors provides a single volume resource on imaging methods and neuroepidemiology of both brain and spinal tumors. The book covers a variety of imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT), MRI, positron emission tomography (PET), and other laboratory tests used in diagnosis and treatment. Detailed epidemiology, various imaging methods, and clinical considerations of tumors of the CNS make this an ideal reference for users who will also find diverse information about structures and functions, cytology, epidemiology (including molecular epidemiology), diagnosis and treatment.Item Epidemiology of Thyroid Disorders(Elsevier, 2020) Samsam, MohtashemEpidemiology of Thyroid Disorders provides comprehensive, clinical knowledge to professionals dealing with thyroid disorders. The book focuses on the pathophysiology of thyroid disorders, the prevalence and incidence of various diseases, and their prevention. This focused analysis on thyroid disorders raises awareness of this global problem that, once diagnosed or misdiagnosed, can sometimes lead to over-treatment and cardiovascular complications, especially in the elderly. This succinct, targeted reference gives the reader excellent information on the epidemiology of global thyroid disorders, as well as up-to-date treatment data and a special focus on prevention.Item Global Health Complications of Obesity(Elsevier, 2020) Samsam, MohtashemGlobal Health Complications of Obesity presents a valuable resource for research scientists and clinicians by covering the burden of obesity and related diseases and serving as a starting point for in-depth discussions in academic settings and for obesity-treatment specialists. Obesity is associated with a statistically higher risk of heart disease, hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and many other diseases. This succinct resource focuses on the current data, research and management of obesity. It is essential reading for healthcare professionals, endocrinologists, nutritionists, public health students and medical students.
