Principles of Physiology for the Anaesthetist, Third Edition

Principles of Physiology for the Anaesthetist, now in its Third Edition, continues to provide candidates with a "tailor-made" alternative to more general physiology textbooks and delivers information designed and written specifically with the trainee anaesthetist in mind.

The book covers the physiology of all major organ systems, with specific emphasis on the nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. In addition, special sections on the physiology of pain, the physiology of ageing, and the physiological effects of specific environments―all highly relevant to anaesthetic practice―have been incorporated.

The third edition builds upon several new features introduced in the last edition: learning objectives, areas for reflection, and a handy summary of physiological equations and tables. Copious diagrams throughout support the text and aid in the understanding of difficult concepts.

The authors integrate their teaching experience in physiology into the content to improve the understanding of the fundamentals of human physiology in relation to the work of the anaesthetist. This book will remain an invaluable reference throughout anaesthetic training and beyond, as well as a useful revision aid.

Principles of Physiology for the Anaesthetist

The practice of anaesthesia, including intensive care medicine and pain management, requires a considerable understanding of normal and abnormal physiology. This is reflected in postgraduate examinations in anaesthesia where candidates are questioned in depth about many aspects of physiology.

The second edition of this well-received textbook continues to provide candidates with a 'tailor-made' alternative to more general physiology textbooks, delivering information designed and written specifically with the trainee anaesthetist in mind. The authors bring their extensive experience of teaching physiology to the book in order to improve the understanding of the fundamentals of human physiology in relation to the work of the anaesthetist. The content covers the physiology of all the major organ systems, with specific emphasis on the nervous, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. In addition, there are special sections on the physiology of pain, the physiology of ageing and the physiological effects of specific environments, all highly relevant to anaesthetic practice. Diagrams throughout, praised in reviews of the first edition, are used to support the text and to aid understanding of difficult concepts. The second edition also incorporates a number of new features - learning objectives, areas for reflection and a handy summary of physiological equations. It will remain an invaluable reference throughout anaesthetic training and beyond, and a useful revision aid.

UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN MACHINE
A Primer for Bioengineering



This introductory book for undergraduate students poses a question: What is bioengineering all about? After offering a reference frame and defining the objectives (chapter 1), "physiology" (chapter 2) is presented as a source material followed by "signals" (chapter 3) and "signal pick up" (chapter 4). Chapter 5 deals with the biological amplifier. Reading the signal and the need for mathematical models are the subject matter, respectively, of chapters 6 and 7; they only provide guidance. The last chapter tries to look ahead. Sometimes, the subject is treated in relative depth; at times, the visit is more superficial. Formation rather than information is favored. Historical shots supply background material and spicy insights. Style is light, sprinkled with a little humor. There are exercises which allow students to learn independently.

Contents:
Source: Physiological Systems and Levels
Signals: What They Are
Signal Pick Up
Biological Amplifier
The Interpreter: Reading the Signals
Feedback: The Need of Mathematical Models
Rounding Up and Looking Ahead

Functional Neuroanatomy of Pain



Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP)
as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or
potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage or both.
Pain is an unpleasant but very important biological signal for danger. Nociception is
necessary for survival and maintaining the integrity of the organism in a potentially
hostile environment (Hunt and Mantyh 2001; Scholz andWoolf 2002).
Pain is not a monolithic entity. It is both a sensory experience and a perceptual metaphor for damage (i.e., mechanically, by infection), and it is activated by noxious stimuli that act on a complex pain sensory apparatus.
However, sustained or chronic pain can result in secondary symptoms (anxiety,
depression), and in a marked decrease of the quality of life. This spontaneous
and exaggerated pain no longer has a protective role, but pain becomes a ruining
disease itself (Basbaum 1999; Dworkin and Johnson 1999; Woolf and Mannion
1999; Dworkin et al. 2000; Hunt and Mantyh 2001; Scholz andWoolf 2002). If pain
becomes the pathology, typically via damage and dysfunction of the peripheral
and central nervous system, it is termed “neuropathic pain.”
Here, we present an updated review of the functional anatomy of normal and neuropathic pain.

Cardiovascular Physiology


This uniquely readable, compact, and concise monograph lays a foundation of knowledge of the underlying concepts of normal cardiovascular function. Students welcome the book's broad overview as a practical partner or alternative to a more mechanistically oriented approach or an encyclopedic physiology text. Especially clear explanations, ample illustrations, a helpful glossary of terms, tutorials, and chapter-opening learning objectives provide superb guidance for self-directed learning and help fill the gap in many of today's abbreviated physiology blocks. A focus on well-establish- ed cardiovascular principles reflects recent, widely accepted cardiovascular research.
The textbook consists of nine chapters (235 pages, 123 illustrations). Each chapter begins with an outline and a list of learning objectives. Chapters contain problems and clinical cases that reinforce physiologic principles. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key concepts followed by self-assessment questions in a multiple choice format. The answers, with explanations, are found in the appendix.
The textbook chapter headings are listed below:
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Cardiovascular System
Chapter 2 Electrical Activity of the Heart
Chapter 3 Cellular Structure and Function
Chapter 4 Cardiac Function
Chapter 5 Vascular Function
Chapter 6 Neurohumoral Control of the Heart and Circulation
Chapter 7 Organ Blood Flow
Chapter 8 Exchange Function of the Microcirculation
Chapter 9 Cardiovascular Integration and Adaptation
