Irena Roterman-Konieczna (Ed.)SIMULATIONS IN MEDICINEPre-clinical and Clinical ApplicationsSimulations are an integral part of medical education today. Many universitieshave simulation centers, so-called skills labs, where students and medicalpersonal can practice diagnostics and procedures on life-like mannequins. Othersoffer simulation courses in the different sub-disciplines. In the pre-clinicalphase, simulations are used to illustrate basic principles in physiology, anatomy,genetics, and biochemistry. For example, simulations can show how themetabolism of enzymes changes in the presence of inhibitors, illustrating drugactions.This book covers all areas of simulations in medicine, starting from themolecular level via tissues and organs to the whole body. At the beginning ofeach chapter, a biological phenomenon is described, such as cellcommunication, gene translation, or the action of anti-carcinogenic drugs ontumors. In the following, simulations that illustrate these phenomena arediscussed in detail, with the focus on how to use and interpret these simulations.The book is complemented by topics such as serious games and distancemedicine.The book is based on a course for medical students organized in the editor'sdepartment. Every year, around 300 international undergraduate medicalstudents take the course. Instructs on how to use and interpret simulations, from the molecular level tothe whole body Explains basic principles underlying biomedical processes Closes the gap between biological and virtual phenomenaIrena Roterman-Konieczna, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland.xvii, 331 pages, 247 Figures (c),5 Schedule (bw)Paperback:RRP *€ [D] 69.95 / *US$ 98.00 /*GBP 52.99ISBN 978-3-11-040626-9eBook:RRP *€ [D] 69.95 / *US$ 98.00 /*GBP 52.99PDF ISBN 978-3-11-040634-4EPUB ISBN 978-3-11-040644-3Print/eBook:RRP *€ [D] 109.95 / *US$ 154.00 /*GBP 82.99ISBN 978-3-11-041239-0Date of Publication: October 2015Language of Publication: EnglishSubjects:Basic Medical Science  Basic MedicalScience, other Clinical Medicine  Clinical Medicine, other *Prices in US$ apply to orders placed in the Americas only.
