ACCESSORIES

	Rhinoplasty: An Atlas of Surgical Techniques by Rollin K. Daniel (Author), J. Schlesinger (Illustrator) Univ. of California, Irvine. Atlas designed to aid surgeons in the improvement of their rhinoplasty results. Includes all the analytical and technical information taught a rhinoplasty fellow over a six-month period in the operating room and in the examination room. Includes abundant, high-quality color illustrations. DNLM: Rhinoplasty--methods atlases.
	Vocal Fold Paralysis by Lucian Sulica (Editor), Andrew Blitzer (Editor) New therapeutic options and approaches have been developed based on an expanded knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology of vocal fold paralysis. The core of Vocal Fold Paralysis offers step-by-step descriptions and of the following therapies: vocal fold injection, medialization laryngoplasty, and arytenoid repositioning surgery. It also includes special topics such as reinnervation, vocal fold pacing, bilateral medialization, and pediatric and bilateral vocal fold paralysis. Vocal Fold...
	Raising of Microvascular Flaps: A Systematic Approach by K.-D. Wolff (Author), R. Hölzle (Author) Stepwise Raising of Microvascular Flaps provides all those dealing with microsurgical tissue transfer, i.e. plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons with all they need to know in their daily practice. The systematic approach of this operative manual is based on photographs of perfect quality showing cadaver preparations alongside with explanatory colour drawings to even enhance the understanding of the anatomy through 3D perspectives and by also...

Product Description
The cochlear implant is a device that bypasses a nonfunctional inner ear and stimulates the auditory nerve directly with patterns of electrical currents derived from incoming sounds. The culmination of investigations in many disciplines, it is the first major advance in helping profoundly deaf children communicate since the Sign Language for the Deaf was developed at the Institution des Jeunes Sourds in Paris some 200 years ago. Written by the "father" of the multi-electrode implant, this comprehensive text and reference gives an account of the fundamental principles underlying cochlear implants and their clinical application. It thus discusses research in all relevant disciplines, including: - Surgical anatomy, concentrating on essentials relevant to engineering - Pathology, focusing on the inner ear's response to the implant and to electrical stimulation - Biophysics and electrochemistry, addressing the interface between electrode and tissue - Neurobiology, with particular emphasis on the issue of safety - Physiology, summarizing current theories of frequency and amplitude coding - Psychophysics, focusing on pitch and loudness perception - Speech science, including phonetics, perception, and language - Electronic principles of signal processing needed for speech perception - Clinical factors of importance to the engineering - Surgical procedures to help scientists and engineers understand the realities for implant development - Communication skills achieved for different speech processing strategies - Socioeconomic and ethical issues For the clinician, the book will provide guidance in the treatment of patients; for the engineer and researcher it will provide the background for further research; and for the student, it will provide a thorough understanding of the subject.
