Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grafting, uniting part of one plant with another to create a single plant, has been used as a method of propagation for thousands of years. But new techniques have been introduced in the last twenty years, and the grafting of edible plants, like tomatoes, has recently become widely used. The Manual of Plant Grafting is an up-to-date, authoritative, and practical guide to the latest grafting techniques. It features information on the reason to graft, along with clear instructions on the formation of the graft union, the production of rootstocks, bench grafting techniques, field grafting, vegetable grafting, and cactus grafting. An A-to-Z appendix of plants features detailed information on what type of graft should be used, when it should be done, what type of root stock needs to be used, and what environment it needs to be kept in. The Manual of Plant Grafting is a must-have guide for nursery and horticulture professionals, horticulture students, and orchard owners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written to assist not only postgraduate students, but also int- ested dermatologists, general practitioners, and surgeons. During the last two decades, various surgical therapies have been used in the tre- ment of stable refractory vitiligo, but none of them became very popular because of their intrinsic drawbacks, and thus could not be adopted as a standard procedure. There has always been a need for a technique that gives best results without complications. The commonly used surgical procedures for the treatment of vitiligo have been narrated in short and their characteristic drawbacks have been pointed out. The c- lular graft technique is costly, requires a good laboratory and infrastructure, and except for being able to cover a wider vitiliginous area, the ultimate results are no better than tissue grafting technique. I used the small skin particles prepared from ultra thin or thin split thickness skin graft, the so called “microskin graft,” in the tre- ment of vitiligo effectively with good expansion ratio, i.e., small donor skin to treat big vitiliginous area. This procedure covers the bene? t of cellular and tissue graft, but without their inherent drawbacks. The microskin graft technique has been illustrated with minimum necessary text to explain the steps. This technique is very simple to learn and execute. It is extremely 2 cost effective and can treat very large area up to 1,500 cm in an operative session.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While an oral surgery resident in training at the University of Michigan in 1977, I observed a strange phenomenon in a maxillary fracture patient. A unilateral ossification of the maxillary antrum occurred following a Le Fort III fracture that had been treated the year before. I wondered how trauma around the antrum due to an impacted maxilla and the inferiorly displaced orbital rim could lead to an ossified maxillary sinus. The trauma was bilateral, yet only one side responded by ossification. Furthermore, there appeared to be no functional impairment of the sinus. This unusual finding remained a mystery to me for many years. It wasn't until 1980, when Phil Boyne published the first paper on the sinus augmentation graft, that the mystery began to be solved. He found that preservation of the elevated sinus membrane created a confined space in which bone had the potential to form. Dr Boyne went on to show, in a primate study, that bone would readily form in the sinus floor, but that the newly formed bone would completely resorb over a period of a year unless dental implants were placed to help maintain the bone. Many other workers began to experiment with various bone-grafting materials, both in animals and clinically. Remarkably, most of the materials demonstrated new bone formation in the graft sites. Because dental implants were generally used as the measure of bone graft success and since there were very few implant failures reported in the literature, confusion resulted as to which grafting material to use. It seemed they all worked. To sort this out, a few patients with 5 to 7 mm of available bone were treated with sinus elevation and Gore-Tex over the lateral osteotomy site only. Despite no graft material be used, bone formed. As long as the sinus membrane remained intact, bone formed beneath the sinus membrane that had been tented up by simultaneously placed implants. The need to use any graft material at all appeared to be brought into question. At the same time, practitioners lined up in two camps: those who placed implants in delayed fashion after graft maturation and those who preferred simultaneous implant placement. Both approaches published a high level of success seeming to substantiate their protocols, but once again the measure of success was hampered by the lack of any human evidence for efficacy. A 5-year implant retrieval study was undertaken using standard titanium mini-implants that had been placed simultaneously with grafting. Interestingly, bone did not form well around these implants in this setting despite positive reviews in animal studies. Could we conclude that the delayed approach was preferred, or was there another factor, such as the implant surface, that could be important? Hydroxyapatite-coated, titanium plasma-sprayed, and acid-etched titanium implant surfaces seemed to do well in the grafted bone. Could this be the answer for implants placed into sinus bone grafts? As these developments are progressing, new interest is generated in jump-starting the natural inductive processes of bone formation through pharmacokinetics. Early results of human studies now appear to be favorable for using bone morphogenetic protein as a graft alternative that stands to modify all of the protocols in use to date. How these various approaches work toward definitive answers to the basic biologic and clinical questions is what this book is all about. The authors attempt to answer the how, why, when, and where of sinus grafting. It is hoped that the state of the art of sinus grafting will be elucidate for the reader in the ongoing quest for scientific knowledge and its clinical appilcation that will ultimately lead to excellence in patient care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gumpert (Program in Cultures, Civilizations, and Ideas at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey) looks at the myth of Helen in Greek poetry from the archaic to the classical period and in French writings, medieval to modern. Chapters are not organized chronologically but strategically, that is, how a particular present treats the past. Chapters on the ways Greeks treated history/Helen mostly earn the names of rhetorical strategies like mimesis, anamnesis, epideixis, and deixis, and the way the French look at history/Helen with strategies such as idolatry, translation, genealogy, cosmetics, etc.). As Gumpert writes, "What these chapters tell is a story about coveting the past, stealing it, and covering it up (the past and its theft). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the untreated surfaces of polymers used in industry are not hydrophilic but hydrophobic. It is, therefore, difficult to bond these nonpolar polymer sur faces directly to other substances like adhesives, printing inks, and paints because they generally consist of polar compounds. On the other hand, polymer surfaces generally adsorb proteins when brought into direct contact with a bio logical system, resulting in cell attachment or platelet aggregation. The protein adsorption and attachment of biological components trigger a subsequent series of mostly adverse biological reactions toward the polymeric materials. Therefore, the technologies for surface modification of polymers or regulation of the polymer surface interaction with other substances have been of prime importance in polymer applications from the advent of polymer industries. Some of the technologies have been directed to introduction of new function alities onto polymer surfaces. The new functionalities introduced include improved surface hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, bio compatibility, conductivi ty, anti-fogging, anti-fouling, grazing, surface hardness, surface roughness, adhesion, lubrication, and antistatic property. Theoretically, there is a large dif ference in properties between the surface and the bulk of a material and only the outermost surface is enough to be taken into consideration when the sur face properties are concerned. However, this is not the case for polymer surfaces, as the physical structure of the outermost polymer surface is generally not fixed but continuously changing with time due to the microscopic Brownian motion of polymer segments.
