Glissonean Pedicle Transection Method for Hepatic Resection


Glissonean Pedicle Transection Method for Hepatic Resection
Springer | ISBN:34431489436 | Edition - 2007-03-09 | PDF | 162 pages
The Glissonean pedicle transection method for hepatic resection has been recognized and practiced as a safe, well-established technique for reliable anatomic and systematic hepatic resection for more than 20 years. This method has advantages not only in simplification of the techniques of hepatic resection but also in reduction of intraoperative hemorrhage. In this book, the author, who originally developed the technique, presents a concept of hepatic segmentation with respect to the Glissonean pedicle tree, and surgical procedures for segmentectomy and cone-unit resection are outlined. Detailed illustrations are included depicting every important action a surgeon must consider while performing these operations, and the accompanying DVD will further assist readers in understanding the most appropriate technique, special strategies, and potential pitfalls.

Hematologic Malignancies: Acute Leukemias (Hematologic Malignancies)


Hematologic Malignancies: Acute Leukemias (Hematologic Malignancies)
Springer | ISBN:3540723021 | Edition - 2007-12-10 | PDF | 296 pages
Better therapy of acute leukemias depends ultimately on better understanding of the distinction between leukemic and normal progenitor cells. Thus, several chapters in this volume describe current knowledge of acute leukemia biology and discuss new classification systems that have arisen consequent to emerging insights into pathogenesis. Treatment has also improved for particular types of acute leukemia. Given our intention that the book be useful to clinicians, we pay particular attention to these advances, to management of acute leukemia in general, and to development of new therapies.

Principles of Tissue Engineering, Second Edition



The opportunity that tissue engineering provides for medicine is extraordinary. In the United States alone, over half-a-trillion dollars are spent each year to care for patients who suffer from tissue loss or dysfunction. Although numerous books and reviews have been written on tissue engineering, none has been as comprehensive in its defining of the field. Principles of Tissue Engineering combines in one volume the prerequisites for a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs, as well as a presentation of applications of tissue engineering to diseases affecting specific organ systems. The first edition of the book, published in 1997, is the definite reference in the field. Since that time, however, the discipline has grown tremendously, and few experts would have been able to predict the explosion in our knowledge of gene expression, cell growth and differentiation, the variety of stem cells, new polymers and materials that are now available, or even the successful introduction of the first tissue-engineered products into the marketplace. There was a need for a new edition, and this need has been met with a product that defines and captures the sense of excitement, understanding and anticipation that has followed from the evolution of this fascinating and important field.

Cancer Stem Cells


Springer | ISBN:3540708529 | Edition - 2007-10 | PDF | 265 pages

Cancer stem cells werehave originally been identified in leukemia and later in several solid tumor types. They have very different properties from the bulk of the tumor, as they divide much more slowly and have very efficient drug- resistance mechanisms. Current treatments might largely spare cancer stem cells, thus leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. The recent identification of growth and differentiation pathways responsible for cancer stem cell proliferation and survival will help in the discovery identification of novel therapeutic targets. Developing selective drugs against cancer stem cells offers great therapeutic opportunities but also provides for major challenges regarding preclinical models, therapeutic windows, and clinical study end points.

Antenna and EM Modeling with Matlab


Wiley-Interscience; 1 edition | ISBN: 0471218766 | 288 pages | July 4, 2002

An accessible and practical tool for effective antenna design. Due to the rapid development of wireless communications, the modeling of radiation and scattering is becoming more important in the design of antennas. Consequently, it is increasingly important for antenna designers and students of antenna design to have a comprehensive simulation tool. Sergey Makarov's text utilizes the widely used Matlab(r) software, which offers a more flexible and affordable alternative to other antenna and electromagnetic modeling tools currently available. After providing the basic background in electromagnetic theory necessary to utilize the software, the author describes the benefits and many practical uses of the Matlab package. The text demonstrates how Matlab solves basic radiation/scattering antenna problems in structures that range from simple dipoles to patch antennas and patch antenna arrays. Specialized antenna types like fractal antennas and frequency selective surfaces are considered as well. Finally, the text introduces Matlab applications to more advanced problems such as broadband and loaded antennas, UWB pulse antennas, and microstrip antenna arrays.

Photobiology


Academic Press | ISBN:0124177557 | 1 edition (August 4, 1995)


Photobiology integrates a wide variety of scientific disciplines. As more people become aware of the many ways light interacts with chemical and biological systems, the need for a concise treatment of photobiology has become more critical. Kohen et al. Have written just such a book, intended both as a textbook and as a reference. The authors begin by providing a brief description of the nature of light, how it affects matter, and the means and methods of measuring it. A major section of the book is devoted to how light influences living systems, including discussions of photosynthesis, bioluminescence, regulatory mechanisms, and visual transduction of light. The last half of the book is devoted to the biomedical aspects of light, including photoimmunology, photoallergic reactions and other forms of light sensitivity, the optical properties of skin, and various ways that light can be used in therapy treatments. Useful to photobiologists as a comprehensive overview, this book should also appeal to biomedical researchers and advanced students of photobiology.
