American Men and Women in Medicine, Applied Sciences and Engineering with Roots in Czechoslovakia
No comprehensive study has been undertaken about the American learned men and women with Czechoslovak roots. The aim of this work is to correct this glaring deficiency, with the focus on men and women in medicine, applied sciences and engineering. It covers immigration from the period of mass migration and beyond, irrespective whether they were born in their European ancestral homes or whether they have descended from them. This compendium clearly demonstrates the Czech and Slovak immigrants, including Bohemian Jews, have brought to the New World, in these areas, their talents, their ingenuity, the technical skills, their scientific knowhow, as well as their humanistic and spiritual upbringi...

Manual of Botulinum Toxin Therapy
Fully updated throughout, the second edition of the Manual of Botulinum Toxin Therapy provides practical guidance on the use of Botox in a wide variety of disorders. New chapters have been added on the use of botulinum toxin in wound healing, in focal hand dystonia and in thoracic outlet syndrome, as well as others. There are new chapters on the use of botulinum toxins in conjunction with ultrasound guidance. Using clear line-drawings the Manual describes the relevant injection sites for each condition and gives comparative dosage tables for the various formulations of toxins used in different muscle groups. Throughout the emphasis is on technique and the book can be used as both a teaching aid and in bedside guidance. The manual will be of use to neurologists, otolaryngologists, urologists, ophthalmologists, dermatologists, internists, pain management specialists, rehabilitation specialists and plastic surgeons, and any other clinicians discovering the potential of botulinum toxin.
Death to Beauty
In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval,...

Parkinson's Disease
Behavioral symptoms are an integral part of Parkinson's disease. In the past decade there has been an enormous amount of research on the nature of these disturbances, their underlying neural basis, and methods of assessment. This book provides an up-to-date review of neuropsychological deficits, depression, and treatment-related behavioral disorders associated with Parkinson's disease. Each section is a balanced presentation of both theoretical and practical issues. From a theoretical perspective, study of the neurobehavioral features of Parkinson's disease has contributed to our understanding of the subcortical structures and neurotransmitter systems related to human cognitive and emotional functions. From a practical perspective, behavioral symptoms represent a major treatment challenge. The advent of levodopa has created a population of older and more chronically disabled Parkinson patients, and has made it more imperative to understand the illness. Proper management of patients requires adequate methods for assessing behavioral changes, understanding the relationship of the behavior to the neurobiology of the disease, and being aware of therapeutic options.
