Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​The collection of chapters in this proceedings volume brings together research from academic and industry scientists and clinical development experts who are focused on contemporary and emerging aspects of improving treatments employing biosurfaces. Interactions between biomaterial implants, devices, cell therapies, and whole organ transplants frequently trigger activation of body defense systems and responses that negatively affect the clinical outcome. Optimal tissue integration and modulation of foreign body reactions is therefore essential for preserving anticipated functions and avoiding adverse effects. Topics covered include mechanistic and applied research within the fields of extracorporeal devices, soft and hard tissue implants, tissue and biomaterial-targeting, therapeutic modulation of foreign body reactions, cell encapsulations, as well as cell and whole organ transplantation.

Book excerpt: The subject matter of this book is not entirely new in that much has been written about the state of the interfacial chemistry in other textbooks. However, the authors have found that there is really a need for a book which can lead an investigator, a student, or a beginn er through the in-depth understanding and descriptions involved in the derivations and usage of the adsorption equations based on the unified concept of the Gibbs surface excess. The derivation of the original Gibbs equation for the liquid interface has been amplified with reformulations and criticisms. Attempts have been frequently made to relate the surface excess quantities with the thermodynamic properties of the physically defined interfacial phase. In the last two decades, useful applications of the Gibbs equations have been made for the study of adsorption at solid-liquid as weIl as liquid-gas interfaces formed in the presence of the multicomponent solutions in the bulk. These recent treatments become useful for the experimental studies of the adsorption of electrolytes and interfacial properties related to neutral and charged monolayers. The consistency of the experimental results with those to be expected from the theories of the electrical double layer needs careful examination. An attempt has been made to present in a single volume all these developments based on the unified concept of the Gibbs surface excess. The study of the adsorption from solution is of considerable importance in the field of biology and in many other branches of applied science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extracorporeal circulation has become firmly established as an invaluable and routine adjunct to cardiac and vascular surgery. Since its introduction in 1953, the technique has evolved rapidly with advancing technology leading to improvements in and simplification of the equipment involved. Developments in the understanding and application of basic science have also had a huge impact as our understanding of the complex anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology and pathophysiology of the heart continues to grow. It is these advances in both technology and science that form the basis of this fourth edition of Techniques in Extracorporeal Cirulation. The book continues to provide a comprehensive overview of the field, covering both established techniques for those new to the field of extracorporeal circulation, and current and future developments. It attempts to answer some of the innumerable practical problems associated with the routine use of artificial circulation and oxygenation, and hopes to stimulate thought and debate among its readers regarding more complex or controversial issues. Topics new to the fourth edition include robotic surgery and off-pump surgery, while other chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated to take into account developments and changes in the field. With its multidisciplinary approach, the book will remain an essential reference for all health care professionals working in the cardiac surgical operating room, in particular cardiothoracic surgeons, anaesthetists and perfusionists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineered Biomaterials: Progress and Prospects presents state-of-the-art developments in the area of biomaterials research exemplified by experts in the fields of tissue engineering, wound healing, bio-diagnostics, novel therapeutics and advanced drug delivery systems.It provides a comprehensive account of preparation, characterisation, properties, processing, biological and clinical evaluation of a large variety of materials for specific biomedical applications. Basic concepts related to wound healing, tissue engineering and drug delivery systems, and the principal role played by macro, micro and nano scaled structures in biomaterials are presented in a clear manner. Developments in the area of conventional and advanced wound care strategies, materials for periodontal therapeutics, in-situ gelling tissue adhesives, biodegradable composites etc are illustrated in a lucid manner. Advanced processing techniques explored for the fabrication of micro-needles for vaccine delivery, 3D printing of personalized pharmaceuticals, bio-resorbable coatings, metallosurfactants and surface engineering of nanosystems are depicted in a straightforward and reasonable way.This book also discusses various advanced therapeutic and diagnostic systems such as magnetic nanoparticle based hyperthermia and their surface functionalization techniques. Lipid-based nano delivery systems for psoriasis, irritable bowel syndrome and pain management, polyrotaxane polymers, wearable devices for sensing etc are also depicted in this book. The contents are designed in a manner that will be highly suited for academic researchers, clinicians and industrialists who wish to explore in the versatile field of biomaterials as it contains a wealth of valuable information that will be equally useful to both beginners as well as established researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The optical spectra of molecular membrane probes can be interpreted terms of the structure, dynamics, and the physiological state of the membrane. The general picture we have of membranes and of the properties of the proteins imbedded in them, has, arguably, emerged directly from probe studies over the last 20 years. This work is designed to make these techniques accessible to a broad audience of cell biologist. The techniques discussed revolve primarily around the fluorescence of membrane probes, but applications of light absorption and Raman scattering are included. In addition to reviews of the major applications, most chapters include information on required apparatus, experimental design, data analysis, and potential pitfalls.
