Customer Reviews:
An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions.......2005-04-06
This is a very good undergraduate level textbook for studying the events that take place during wound healing. It assumes no previous knowledge of biology, which is very good for engineering students. The text is also very intuitive and didatic, making it easy to follow. Many b&w images and photos illustrating the explanations given in the text.
The book also presentes some brief topics on surface characterization/modification and in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation.
Excellent Book.......2003-03-11
"...excellent attention to detail...recommended for graduate students, faculty and researchers, and bioengineers and physicians." (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 6, February 2003)

Book Description
The biomineralization and biomaterials research communities have not been working side by side in the past few years. To our knowledge, no book has addressed before this topic in such an integrated and "looking forward" perspective. There is, therefore, a necessity for a book that would address, in an integrated way, topics that go from understanding biomineralization processes of different mineralized tissues (that means: not only bone, tooth, etc.) to the use of that science to engineer new biomimetic processes and materials. In fact, only an understanding of the relevant fundamentals and a simultaneous application oriented view will lead to the design of new biomimetic materials and processing routes (including production of biomimetic coatings). There is almost no training content on most of the books that are aimed at presenting new breakthroughs on biomineralization science. So, this book will constitute a complimentary tool as it seemed to be the best forum to educate and brainstorming on this area of such strategic importance.

Book Description
So far little has been discussed on the groundwork necessary for chitin to claim its rightful place as a biomaterial. This book aims to describe the factors necessary to standardize chitin processing and characterization. It attempts to capture the essential interplay between chitin's assets and its limitations as a biomaterial, placing the past promises of chitin in perspective, addressing its present realities and limitations as a biomaterial and offering an insight into what is required for chitin, and its derivative chitosan, to fulfil its potential as a biomaterial of the 21st Century.
The ongoing search for alternative and better ways to treat medical problems is filled with challenges and opportunities. When replacing body parts with artificial substitutes, state-of-the art technology developments such as Tissue Engineering are fuelling the quest for better biomaterials that can meet a myriad of challenges. Central to this goal is the potential for the utilization of materials from nature. Amongst the possible candidates, chitin has been poised to be one such natural material which could be the answer to a variety of needs in the biomedical field. According to researchers, chitin possesses capabilities as a wound dressing, in bone substitutes and in drug delivery carriers, abilities which have evoked great enthusiasm. However this excitement is accompanied by confusion and lack of consensus, and this book also attempts to address these issues.

Book Description
Medicine and engineering work together towards solutions for biomedical problems. The interactions of blood elements with artificial materials (bags, tubes, artificial organs, etc.) require many disciplines for its understanding. Thus the effort presented in this book is the culmination of a genuine discussion on the problems arising in blood banks, in hospitals, in biomaterials development, in experimental hemocompatibility testing when platelets interact with biomaterials. Hematologists, chemists, biologists and engineers have tried to put their own point of view and to understand the point of view of the other disciplines. The main themes that are presented in the discussion are: Platelet collection, storage and transfusion; Hemostasis and anticoagulation; Platelet and biomaterials, extracorporeal circulation and implanted materials; Hemorheological parameters; Modulation of platelet function; Biological tests for evaluating platelet--biomaterial interactions. £/LIST£

Book Description
This book contains the first collection of selected tests for the evaluation of blood compatible materials. The tests are given as recipes, including a list of equipment and materials used in each particular test, which means that persons not very well versed in the field are able to perform the tests. In most tests reference results are given to provide further guidance. Researchers from many countries have contributed. The text includes the following: Guidelines for selecting animals; Testing for mechanical properties, biodegradation, surface analysis; Detection of protein adsorption, Activation of haemostasis and other activation systems, detection of thrombosis, fibrinolysis and emboli formation and detection of toxicity. A separate chapter on Rules for Good Manufacturing Practice and Good Laboratory Practice is included.
This book is of great value for a range of disciplines, from the experimental research laboratory to the official approval laboratory.
Book Description
Everything you always wanted to know about life when you’re six feet under.
Let’s face it, death is one of the most important events in life--and it never hurts to be prepared. Herein you’ll explore such provocative questions as: Is there life after death? Is the Hereafter sexist? And most important: How do you know you’re dead? This eye-opening collection of amusing tidbits, historical facts, and macabre curiosities probes the mysterious state that has stymied scholars and spiritualists since the beginning of time.
Did you know…
* An Australian woman had her husband’s ashes inserted in her breast implants, to keep him close
to her heart (see page 118)
* Heavy drinking combined with excess body fat can result in Spontaneous Human Combustion (see page 191)
* Statistically, you’re more likely to be killed by walking (660–1) than by lightning (55,000–1)
(see page 193)
PLUS Sex and Death * Graves of the Rich and Famous * Body Snatching and Grave Robbing * Ghosts, Ghouls, and the Undead *
And Much More!
