This manual covers all possible aspects of managing a child with differences in sex development, an entity easily missed by the unsuspecting clinician. Managing such children is challenging due to various processes (genetic, hormonal, environmental, chromosomal, and environmental) involved in developing gonads and brain imprinting. The entity of Gender dysphoria adds further to this complexity. With a global uproar caused by the cropping up of medicolegal issues concerning sex allotment and sex of rearing, a need is felt to know about the line of approach to address the problems of management of these children, which does not stop at medical and surgical treatment. Whereas many social and legal organizations are relentlessly working for the cause of such children, there is a lack of comprehensive literature on the round management of such children, which makes the book more of an essential addition to the existing reading material. Esteemed writers give all these aspects and explain lucidly with the help of tables, figures, and diagrams.

This edited book contains chapters that describe bespoke three-dimensional (3D) printing aimed at democratizing anatomy education by providing open-source scans for download and printing as 3D models. The long history of anatomical models as educational resources is explored in fascinating detail, from wax models through to a range of cutting-edge 3D printers. In a related chapter, a veterinary anatomy educator describes a transformation in teaching and learning methods in veterinary education using Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D visualization methods like CT or MRI images which can be used to reconstruct complete 3D virtual models, as well as 3D prints from these reconstructed scans. The first digital, cloud-based human skeletal repository in southern Africa is an extensive and categorized ‘bone library'globally accessible for use in education and research. A chapter details a digital protocol for the bioprinting of a 3D acellular dermal scaffold (ADS) for use in wound healing, as an alternative to skin grafting for secondary intention wound healing. A chapter offers an extensive guide to applied anatomy for acupuncture and is provided in 4 parts viz, upper limb, lower limb, trunk, head and neck.
