影響一整個世代的腦科學啟蒙作家 醫學界的桂冠詩人——奧立佛．薩克斯 探索人類心智與大腦的最後文集 ★ 暢銷經典《錯把太太當帽子的人》、《火星上的人類學家》作者奧立佛．薩克斯最後遺作 ★ 生平著作翻譯成超過25國語言，當今最知名的腦神經學作家 ★ 亞馬遜網路書店編輯精選「最佳非小說」、讀者4.6顆星好評 ★ 精神醫學 × 自然科學 × 文學 × 心理學──各界聯合推薦 「科學絕對不像許多人所以為的那樣，只是冰冷的計算公式， 而是充斥著熱情、渴望與浪漫。」──奧立佛．薩克斯 從蕨類、頭足類到精神病，從青春記憶到對21世紀人類的盼望，此書集結薩克斯醫師未曾出版的書稿，讓想念他的讀者們，有機會再次透過細膩且精采的文字，感受作者對於科學與宇宙萬物的廣大好奇心，喚起我們曾經熱愛的興趣和夢想。 § 回到科學的啟蒙與起點──我的那些初戀 從對蕨類植物、游泳的著迷，到對閱讀和生物學無比的熱愛，薩克斯總是能以浪漫又帶點幽默的角度，描述任何一件外人看起來極其嚴肅又無趣的科學事件。在閱讀這些故事時，我們總是能因為他幾近癡迷的狂熱舉動而會心一笑。 § 透過科學洞察與人文關懷，交織精彩的病例探索──臨床故事 薩克斯醫師曾說過：「我們大家是醫『病人』的病，而不是醫『病』而已，不管多忙，我們要切記，不要忘了人與人之間的關係。」這也是他能成為如此受歡迎的神經科學作家的原因之一。其富含同理且溫柔的筆觸，即使是未曾深入腦神經科學領域的讀者，也能輕易理解複雜的病程並投入其中。 「他的家人讓他陷入冰冷，拯救了他；我們讓他甦醒，結果他卻死了。」書中收錄了思覺失調、妥瑞症、老年癡呆和阿茲海默症等病例的探索，時而充滿希望，時而令人沮喪、絕望，但這就是人類生命無常卻神祕的地方。誰也不能保證這些大腦病變是否有治癒的可能，還是只會不斷衰退，但透過薩克斯的記錄，這些病例有血有肉地呈現在我們眼前，讀者彷彿也經歷了陪伴病患的歲月，更體會生命的無限可能。 § 臨終前對生命的回首與盼望──生命未完待續 「我正在面對自己即將離世的事實，必須如此相信──相信人類和地球會存活下去，相信生命會繼續，相信這不會是我們的終點。」 薩克斯在人生的最後，

Implant dentistry has grown enormously in popularity during the last few decades and is heralded as a revolutionary breakthrough in improving patient quality of life. Nevertheless, many clinicians have neglected to adequately consider the biologic complications that may occur over time and that can lead to implant failure. Peri-implantitis is the foremost complication that everyone wants to avoid, but there is neither one etiology nor one common solution for peri-implantitis. This timely publication bolsters the armamentarium of implant clinicians in understanding peri-implantitis and how to treat it. In this book, surgical and prosthodontic thought leaders share their methods ranging from prevention to regeneration, offering practical information to make the decision between saving the implant or removing it as well as how to avoid peri-implantitis in the first place. 1,800 illustrations. Contents: 1. Unfolding the Initiation and Progression of Peri-Implantitis: The Scope of the Probl

When osseointegration was first introduced by Brånemark as a therapy for the replacement of the natural dentition, it was accepted as an appropriate and predictable solution for young and middle-aged edentulous patients. No one anticipated the positive results and high level of acceptability that this therapy would bring about. The decision regarding whether to save a tooth or insert an implant is one that the implant clinician makes based on previous experience, recently approved therapeutics, and the best interests of the patient. This high-quality and timely publication will serve to enhance the armamentarium of implant clinicians in this regard. The editors have engaged leading thinkers in surgery and prosthetics to share their methods, ranging from prevention to regeneration. The text provides contemporary information for achieving constructive endpoint goals and for managing solutions to peri-implantitis and should have a place in every dental library.
