A real understanding of the patient’s problems, leading to the preparation of an effective care plan, requires an attitude centered on a comprehensive approach: on this basis, the work examines the correlations between orofacial functions, occlusion, and posture in order to better understand what the correct diagnostic and therapeutic approach is to address problems of various natures and severities. Myofunctional therapy used in the treatment of the so-called myofunctional disorders, or abnormalities of the mobility and tone of the orofacial musculature.

For this reason, in addition to orthodontic treatment emphasis is given to the use of speech therapy, otolaryngology, posturology, and osteopathy. The discussion also focuses on issues including various specific diseases or syndromes (secretory otitis media, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, Down syndrome, etc.), which are not obviously related to orthodontic problems, but which a cranio-facial specialist needs to know in order to achieve a multidisciplinary and holistic approach suitable for complex clinical problems. The work is completed by accompanying multimedia presenting the speech therapy exercises and by a clinical diary available to be given to younger patients.

This book, structured according to the normal anatomical areas in radiological diagnostic imaging: abdomen, neck, thorax, limbs, spine, and head, offers the key aspects of both radiographic interpretation and the diagnosis of diseases, as well as a special chapter with the most common diagnostic errors. Its more than 500 high-resolution images are accompanied by the necessary text to increase their descriptive value. In addition, the book is complemented by multimedia material, which can be accessed through QR codes located throughout the text. In this way, the reader can access different normal radiographic anatomy diagrams, both with and without the anatomical details identified. All these elements make this book a reference in the field of clinical radiology.
This book provides a comprehensive review of in ovo techniques and treatments in poultry eggs, which are aimed at improving embryonic development and decreasing economic losses in poultry farms. The book is divided into four chapters, which address the basics of in ovo techniques and sites of in ovo injection, nutrient utilization for the development of the chick embryo, the role of early in ovo feeding for the chick embryo, and applications of in ovo technology for various nutrients and biological supplements in poultry.
The Vertical Dimension is essential for a correct occlusal reconstruction and for rehabilitating the whole Stomatognathic System. The book offers a clear path towards the best possible management of the vertical dimension within which function's restoration and esthetic result coincide.
Using a variety of graphical resources, this atlas describes the cutaneous clinical patterns most commonly encountered in dogs (accounting for 90 % of cases seen in veterinary clinics), as well as the associated aetiologies. For each pattern, corresponding guidelines are provided to ensure correct diagnosis. This book has been designed as an educational guide for veterinary practitioners to facilitate the diagnosis of skin diseases. The wealth of graphical material complementing the text provides veterinary surgeons with reference images with which to compare the cases they encounter in the clinic.
