Featuring over 400 full-color surgical photographs and drawings, this text/atlas is a step-by-step guide to the surgical approaches used to expose the facial skeleton. The authors describe in detail the key anatomic structures and the technical aspects of each approach, so that the surgeon can safely gain access to the region of the craniofacial skeleton requiring surgery. This Second Edition includes full-color intraoperative photographs that complement the surgical drawings. Several new approaches have been added--the transconjunctival approach to the medial orbit, subtarsal approach to the internal orbit, Weber-Ferguson approach to the midface, and facial degloving approach to the midface.
Product Description: Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in interest from educators and the general public about deafness, special education, and the development of children with special needs. The education of deaf children in the United States has been seen as a remarkable success story around the world, even while it continues to engender domestic debate.
In Educating Deaf Students: From Research to Practice, Marc Marschark, Harry G. Lang, and John A. Albertini set aside the politics, rhetoric, and confusion that often accompany discussions of deaf education. Instead they offer an accessible evaluation of the research literature on the needs and strengths of deaf children and on the methods that have been used-successfully and unsuccessfully-to teach both deaf and hearing children.
The authors lay out the common assumptions that have driven deaf education for many years, revealing some of them to be based on questionable methods, conclusions, or interpretations, while others have been lost in the cacophony of alternative educational philosophies. They accompany their historical consideration of how this came to pass with an evaluation of the legal and social conditions surrounding deaf education today.
By evaluating what we know, what we do not know, and what we thought we knew about learning among deaf children, the authors provide parents, teachers, and administrators valuable new insights into educating deaf students and others with special needs.
Product Description: Written in an easy-to-read style that is especially accessible for the busy clinician who is bombarded by many new terms and concepts Provides short synopsis of outer and inner hair cell function, as it specifically relates to an increasingly common type of compression: wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) Describes clearly the more popular threshold-based and suprathreshold-based hearing aid fitting methods Offers concise explanation of the many different types of compression in hearing aids
Product Description: This encyclopedic work describes the phenotype spectrum, epidemiology, mode of inheritance, and pathogenesis of nearly 700 genetic syndromes. Uniquely comprehensive, it depicts the clinical features of all known genetic disorders affecting the head and neck and contains over 2300 illustrations. The authors make a clear distinction between doubtful and authentic cases, and bibliographies accompany each syndrome to encourage further research. This is a reorganized, completely rewritten and greatly expanded version of the second edition. It will be an invaluable guide for all clinicians dealing with patients who have head and neck syndromes.

Opinion leaders in the field have been uniformly enthusiastic: "The book is smashing...Should be a required reference for anyone who deals with hearing aids. All of the materials, including an outstanding chapter on pediatric amplification, are presented in a practical and immediately useful manner." --Jerry Northern, author and editor, HearX
"Packed with concise, up-to-date, useful information concerning the selection and fitting of hearing aids. I'd highly recommend this text for graduate audiology students to anyone involved in hearing aid dispensing."--Gus Mueller, PhD, Adjunct Associate Professor, Vanderbilt University
Computer-assisted techniques in the surgery of the facial skeleton including the skull base are depicted for the very first time in this atlas of navigational surgery. Experienced surgeons as well as trainees will benefit from the detailed and well-illustrated information on the use of computer technology in clinical routine, accompanied by the experimental basis of intraoperative accuracy. The authors' inventions in the field of non-invasive registration have led to widespread use of computer-assisted simulation and navigational surgery in this field, so the time is right for a comprehensive publication on the topic. The interdisciplinary approach brings together maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, and neurosurgeons. New methods of non-invasive referencing and the use of virtual models in the field of oral and cranio-maxillofacial surgery are demonstrated. Clinical cases illustrate the practical use of this new technique.
Product Description: Since its first publication in 1974, the "Color Atlas of ENT Diagnosis" has established itself as an essential overview of ENT conditions, concisely written and brilliantly illustrated with a wealth of high-quality color photographs and drawings. The new fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to cover the latest developments in the specialty. New texts and images have been added throughout. The text is divided into five main sections: ENT examination, the ear, the nose, the pharynx and larynx, and the head and neck. The focus is on the examination and diagnosis of both common and atypical disorders, with brief details of medical and surgical treatment where appropriate. "The Color Atlas of ENT Diagnosis" is a key introduction for ENT residents and medical students, and an invaluable reference for physicians and to those in allied specialties.
The fourth edition of Clinical Voice Disorders is an up-to-date, practical reference for the management of voice disorders caused by structural and neurologic etiologies, as well as psychogenic disorders. The book provides a solid foundation for understanding the relationship between biology and clinical assessment; how neuromechanism relates to disorders; and the complex nature of behavioral voice disorders and treatment. <br><br>An expanded collection of clinical case studies provides the valuable opportunity to work through real-life examples of frequently encountered problems. New to this edition is a DVD-ROM with videos that provide a window into clinical interviewing, enabling viewers to observe Dr. Aronson’s techniques and approaches to therapy. Additional chapters on the DVD-ROM present the evolution and embryology of the larynx and respiratory system, covering vital respiration, respiration for speech, and the anatomy and physiology of phonation. Demonstrations of vocal fold vibratory patterns, stroboscopic examples of various pathologies, and audio samples of dysarthric voices enable clinicians to apply concepts presented in the text. <br><br>Highlights:<br>-Detailed presentation of the voice examination<br>-Evidence-based approaches that guide the reader through decision making and to the confident selection of treatments and therapies<br>-New chapter presenting the special considerations for treating the professional singer<br>-In-depth coverage of the laryngeal and respiratory anatomy and physiology—topics frequently omitted in textbooks on voice disorders<br>-Nearly 200 photographs and illustrations demonstrating key concepts<br><br>Ideal for students in graduate-level speech–language pathology programs and clinicians treating patients with voice disorders, this multimedia resource is indispensable for mastering the philosophy and clinical management for the full range of clinical voice pathologies.
