Gain An Understanding Of Magnetism In Medicine.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47596) has announced the addition of "Magnetism in Medicine: A Handbook, 2nd, Completely Revised and Extended Edition" to their offering. This second, completely updated and extended edition of the only reference work in this growing field of medical physics focuses on biomagnetic instrumentation as well as applications in cardiology cardiology Medical specialty dealing with heart diseases and disorders. It began with the 1749 publication by Jean Baptiste de Sénac of contemporary knowledge of the heart. Diagnostic methods improved in the 19th century, and in 1905 the electrocardiograph was invented. and neurology neurology (n  rŏl`əjē, ny–), study of the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human nervous system. . New chapters have been added on fetal fetal /fe·tal/ (fe´tal) of or pertaining to a fetus or the period of its development. fe·tal adj. Of, relating to, or being a fetus. magnetography and magnetic field therapy, as well as the safety aspects of magnetic fields magnetic fields, n.pl the spaces in which magnetic forces are detectable; created by magnetostrictive ultrasonic scalers to cause the tips of instruments such as ultrasonic scalers to vibrate. . Written by well-known specialists from Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and Scandinavia, the result is a manual for researchers in this field as well as for those who apply modern methods based on magnetism in medical practice. It equally provides a detailed overview for newcomers to the field as well as for experts familiar with only one part of the area. Author information Wilfried Andra, born in Weimar in 1923, received his physics PhD from the University of Jena in 1957 and gained the degree of 'Doctor of Natural Sciences' at the Technical University of Dresden in 1970. In 1969 he was appointed Professor at the Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin. His field of work was solid state magnetism (domains, thin films, information storage, high temperature superconductivity superconductivity, abnormally high electrical conductivity of certain substances. The phenomenon was discovered in 1911 by Kamerlingh Onnes, who found that the resistance of mercury dropped suddenly to zero at a temperature of about 4.2°K;. , micromagnetism). After his retirement his main interest moved to the application of magnetism in medicine. Prof. Andra is author or co-author co·au·thor or co-au·thor n. A collaborating or joint author. tr.v. co·au·thored, co·au·thor·ing, co·au·thors To be a collaborating or joint author of: "He and a colleague . . . of more than 130 publications in international scientific journals and several review articles. Hannes Nowak was born in Weinsberg, Germany, in 1948. He received his physics (PhD from the University of Wroclaw, Poland, in 1973 and finished his doctoral thesis in SQUID application at the University of Jena in 1980. He qualified as professor in 1989 and became a specialist in biomagnetism Biomagnetism The production of a magnetic field by a living object. The living object presently most studied is the human body, for two purposes: to find new techniques for medical diagnosis, and to gain information about normal physiology. (SQUID and instrumentation, shielding, noise reduction, medical applications and magnetic source imaging). Dr. Nowak is the author or co-author of more than 50 refereed journal refereed journal, n a professional or literary journal or publication in which articles or papers are selected for publication by a panel of readers or referees who are experts in the field. publications, 75 conference proceeding articles and more than 110 posters.
