  • Psychoprophylactic Preparation for Painless Childbirth

    • 1st Edition
    • Isidore Bonstein
    • English
    Psychoprophylactic Preparation for Painless Chidlbirth covers the principles and physiological aspects of painless childbirth through psychoprophylactic technique. Painless childbirth by the psychoprophylactic method is the result of a psychical education of the pregnant woman, during the last weeks of pregnancy. This book is composed of 13 chapters, and begins with an introduction to the psycho-physiology of the brain and its role in childbirth, as well as the pain in childbirth. The succeeding chapter outlines the course of eight lectures presented at the psychoprophylactic preparation seminar. These lectures are followed by discussions on material requisites and the directions for labor and delivery. A chapter highlights the very important role of the husband in the psychoprophylactic method. This chapter also outlines eight lectures for husbands. The concluding chapters survey the three methods to evaluate painless childbirth, including the clinical observations of the general behavior and neuro-vegative changes of the parturient, as well as the testimony of the parturient herself. This book will prove useful to obstetrics, neuro-surgeons, gynecologists, and odontologists.

  • Calcitonin

    Proceedings of the Symposium on Thyrocalcitonin and the C Cells, London, 17–20 July 1967
    • 1st Edition
    • John McMichael
    • English
    Calcitonin: Proceedings of the Symposium on Thyrocalcitonin and the C Cells presents a critical review of studies on the purification of Alpha and Beta thyrocalcitonin. The book discusses the histopathological investigation on C cells, as well as the nature of parafollicular cells. Some of the topics covered in the text are the pharmacologic and toxicological effects of porcine thyrocalcitonin in animals; the observation of the effect of thyroidectomy in patients with high thyrocalcitonin secretion; and the definition of chronic calcitonin deficiency. The radiological and histological bone changes produced by calcitonin; calcitonin as an ultimobranchial hormone; and the effects of calcium intake levels on the response to exogenous rat are also covered. The book further tackles bone culture studies with thyrocalcitonin; the observation made on the dense granules in bat thyroid parafollicular cells; and the study of the bovine parturient paresis and hypocalcemia. A chapter is devoted to the inhibition of thyrocalcitonin bone resorption in tissue culture. Another section focuses on the methods for secretory granules staining. The book can provide useful information to scientists, immunologists, students, and researchers.

  • Organosilicon Chemistry

    Special Lectures Presented at the International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • Sam Stuart
    • English
    Organosilicon Chemistry provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects and application of organosilicon chemistry. This book discusses the exact manner and extent of d-orbital involvement in organosilicon compounds in ground, electronic, and transition excited states. Organized into two parts encompassing 21 chapters, this book begins with an overview of preparing stable organosiliconium ions. This text then discusses the use of fused salts as reaction media in the preparative chemistry. Other chapters consider a detailed investigation on the molecular association and volatility of alkoxides of group (IV) elements. This book discusses as well the reaction between dimethyldichlorosila... and ethylene glycon, which has been shown to produce a dimeric ten-membered ring compound. The final chapter deals with the results of the investigations concerning the properties of the contact mass and of the non-volatile silicon-free products, which are produced in the direct synthesis of phenylhalogenosilane... This book is a valuable resource for chemists and research workers.
