  A.D.A.M. (Animated Dissection of Anatomy for Medicine) is a highly interactive multimedia software package of human anatomy. Integrating detailed graphics with intuitive operation, A.D.A.M. enhances the knowledge and communications capability of students and professionals worldwide. Because of advanced compression techniques, both male and female anatomy is available on one CD, with versions for Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows. A.D.A.M. is made up of a core program - A.D.A.M. Colour Image Foundation (Entire human body - male and female anatommy) - with optional modular extensions: A.D.A.M. Studio; A.D.A.M. Electronic Libraries - orthopaedics, obstetrics & gynaecology, trauma. Churchill Livingstone also provides a Support and Update Programme - includes phone/fax support, tutorials, upgrades to programs and content for each module licensed and discounts on future upgrades to such modules. In addition to the animated surgeries, electronic books contain pathologies and devices. The pathologies are various ulcers, cysts, tumours, etc which can be placed on parts of the body to produce a realistic presentation of that condition. Many of these pathologies come in a progressive state; for example when one clicks the mouse on an ulcer, it ulcerates over a short period of time to show the progression of that condition. In the devices section there are screws, compression plates, staples etc so that one can illustrate a wide range of procedures for students and patients. A.D.A.M. is used by hospitals, universities, healthcare professionals and for undergraduate teaching, staff training and patient education.

  Intended primarily for undergraduate students, this updated and revised edition may also be useful for those studying for higher examinations in surgery, for general practitioners and physiotherapists and orthopaedic nurses. For the undergraduate there are sections on methods of clinical examination of the various joints and related regions of the body; and the postgraduate is served by the inclusion in many places of additional detail which, because it is not essential for the qualifying examinations, is therefore optional reading for the undergraduate student. The anatomical nomenclature used in the book conforms to that recommended by the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee and approved at the Eighth International Congress of Anatomists at Wiesbaden in 1965. The recommended method of recording and expressing joint movement conforms to that laid down by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in the booklet Joint Motion and approved by most of the Orthopaedic Associations of the English-speaking world. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
