Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance rank amongst the most common presenting symptoms in neurology, otorhinolaryngology, geriatric medicine, and general practice. These symptoms can originate from many different organs and systems, e.g. the inner ear, general medical conditions, and neurological and psychological disorders. The Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance, Second Edition provides an up-to-date summary of the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and management of disorders that lead to dizziness and poor balance. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and all chapters have been fully reviewed and updated since the last edition 10 years ago. This edition features 29 fully updated chapters and four new chapters on vestibular surgery, traumatic brain injury, dizziness in children, and dizziness in the elderly. The textbook is conceptually divided into three sections, detailing the scientific basis, general clinical issues, and specific diseases diagnosed in clinical practice that are responsible for complaints of dizziness and imbalance. Individual chapters address benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, stroke, and Ménière's disease. Additional chapters follow a syndrome-based approach and cover multiple conditions, including cerebellar disorders, bilateral vestibular failure, and psychological disorders.

A comprehensive guide for integrating pathology into a clinical setting. Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases presents the basic principles involved in disease mechanisms in an easy-to-understand way. By integrating recent advances in molecular, immunologic, and genetic understanding of oral disease, the book helps readers enhance their knowledge and its application in a clinical setting. This book is divided into nine sections, covering key topics such as inflammation, genetic diseases, and neoplasia, with contributions from over 50 international authors. Diagrams, clinical, radiographic, and histopathology images and tables supplement the text, and the editors have ensured a consistent approach throughout. Topics covered in Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases include: The influences of nutrition and the environmentCellular structure and function, causes and mechanisms of cellular pathology.Immunity and host defence mechanisms, immune dysfunctions affecting the oro-facial complex.Inflammation and inflammatory diseases of the oro-facial complex Human microbiome, with reference to dysbiosis in dental caries and periodontal diseasesOral manifestations of systemic diseases and the oral-systemic link and its impact on general and oral health Oral potentially malignant and malignant disorders that are a major threat to global public health. Bridging the gap in dental training programs from basic medical science in the initial years to clinical practice, Pathological Basis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases is an essential reference for dental students, trainees and practitioners seeking to grasp the pathological basis of disease and apply that knowledge to the oral and maxillofacial regions.
