Polymers as Biomaterials
Author: W. Shalaby
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461324335
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Nearly 4000 years ago, the Egyptians used linen, a natural polymeric material, for suturing wounds. About 600 B.C., the Indians used other forms of natural polymers such as cotton, horse hair, and leather in repairing wounds. Wound closure procedures using silk sutures, based mostly on polypeptides, are likely to have been practiced during the second century. Surgical application of natural polymers continued to represent the major use of polymers until the twentieth century. Not too long after the development of several major synthetic polymers, their use in biomedical applications has attracted the attention of many re searchers and clinicians. Over the past few years, interest in the biomedical applications of polymers has grown considerably. This has been the result of the inevitable collaborative efforts of in novative materials scientists, engineers and clinicians. The es tablishment of the Society for Biomaterials, in our opinion, cata lyzed the growing interest in the use of polymers for biomedical application. In a major effort to bring team players even closer, a five-day symposium on "Polymers as Biomaterials" was held in Seattle, Washing ton, in March, 1983 as part of the national meeting of the American Chemical Society. The symposium was designed to provide a forum for communicating technical and clinical data to colleagues with a broad spectrum of interest in the biomedical applications of polymers.

The New Physical Anthropology
Author: Shirley Carol Strum
Publisher: Pearson
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Primarily a reference volume. May also be appropriate for senior/graduate level courses in advanced evolution. A part of the Advances in Human Evolution series, this book presents a set of key papers which are seminal works in the New Anthropology Movement started by Sherwood Washburn. It reaches beyond history to tell the story of the practice of the field, showing through current research and fieldwork how the framework has been articulated and expanded over the years.

Basics of Acupuncture
Author: Gabriel Stux
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642514332
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism).

Clinical Acupuncture
Author: Gabriel Stux
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642567320
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Acupuncture is rapidly moving out of the arena of "alternative" medicine, in large part because it is grounded more firmly than other alternative treatments in research. This book provides readers with the up-to-date information on the clinical bases of acupuncture.

Biomolecular Electronics
Author: Paolo Facci
Publisher: William Andrew
ISBN: 1455731528
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Biomolecular Electronics – the electrical control of biological phenomena – is a scientific challenge that, once fully realized, will find a wide range of applications from electronics and computing to medicine and therapeutic techniques.This new arena of biomolecular electronics is approached using familiar concepts from many areas such as electrochemistry, device electronics and some mechanisms of gene expression level control. Practical techniques are explored by which electrical and electronic means can be used to control biological reactions and processes. Also, the current and future applications for this new and expanding field are discussed.This book is aimed at scientists and engineers involved in both research and commercial applications across fields including bioelectronics, bionanotechnology, electrochemistry and nanomedicine – providing a state-of-the-art survey of what's going on at the boundary between biology and electronic technology at the micro- and nano- scales, along with a suggestive insight into future possible developments. - Demystifies the science and applications of electrically-driven biological reactions - Explains how the techniques of bioelectronics and electrochemistry can be deployed as biological control technologies - Provides applications information for diverse areas from bio-electrochemistry to electrical control of gene expression levels
