The Back School is presented as the most effective and lasting method for treating spinal pain. It is based on an educational, preventive and therapeutic approach to the patient, who is no longer seen as a passive subject who merely submits to what is prescribed, but rather as the key actor, who plays an active and conscious part in his or her own treatment.
The aim of the book, which integrates and complements “Back School - Neck School - Bone School. Planning, organising, conducting and verifying” (by the same author), is to teach specific working programmes for different spinal pathologies: spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, lumboischialgic pain due to disc hernia or protrusion, discectomy, painful scoliosis, etc.

Measuring and quantifying the phenomena we observe is a priority not only in the field of scientific research, but also in clinical practice: research leads to application.
This book brings together both the anatomical-physiological bases of hand and arm movement, and the methods for its evaluation, giving the reader not just theoretical notions, but also a tool useful for research, critical evaluation and scientific updating purposes.
Evaluating the different aspects of the hand, kinesiological, sensory or functional, demands extensive knowledge of the relevant methods: for each topic – evaluating wounds and scars, oedema, pain, the peripheral vascular system, sensitivity, joints, muscle strength, dexterity, and functional capacities – the book provides an overview and a critical discussion of the assessment systems, together with instructions and illustrations. Particular attention is paid to those that, in accordance with the principle of evidence-based practice, are deemed most important.

Prosthetic dentistry deals with the promotion of oral and dental health and it is an area in which particular attention is paid to conserving stomatognathic function and to restoring the function and aesthetics of the stomatognathic system through prostheses.
The book takes a general look at the embryogenesis, anatomy and physiology of the stomatognathic system, before considering in more depth the elements of occlusion and the instruments for the adjustment of intermaxillary relations. It then moves on to treatment planning – with very precise and accurate use of the prosthetic nomenclature – and to the preparation and application of the prosthetic support and the maintenance of the prosthetic restoration.

The whole sphere of sexuality, on account of its complex social, moral, psychological and religious connotations, cannot be described in purely biological terms. This book looks at men and women from the perspective of their bodies and at the reciprocal relations, from the point of view of sex and sexuality, into which they enter. The book thus follows a fascinating itinerary that takes the reader through the major biological questions, but always with reference to the main thread of the work, which is sex, understood both as a means of reproduction and as a source of pleasure. The text dwells, in particular, on the processes that take place in the uterus following fertilisation and the start of gestation, as well as the process of pregnancy and childbirth of course.
In short, the reader is taken on a complete journey through the human body as engaged in the affairs of sex, pleasure and reproduction.
