Review Human Germline Gene Therapy: Scientific, Moral and Political Issues (Tissue Engineering Intelligence Unit) / R G Landes Co:In the last decade, scholars throughout the world have begun to break the conversational taboo surrounding human genetic engineering. This book will contribute to this important discussion by providing an up-to-date summary and analysis of key issues in human germline gene therapy with the intention of laying the foundation for further debates and public policy decisions. Without denigrating or glorifying the new technology, the authors offer a sober assessment of its promises and delusions, its dreams and nightmares by presenting potential benefits and harms of human germline gene therapy from a scientific, ethical and political standpoint. The first part of the book provides a thorough and well-referenced introduction to the science underlying gene therapy, including a review of basic genetic concepts for non-molecular biologists, current and future methods for genetic testing, alternatives to human germline gene therapy, current gene transfer techniques, and the technology which would be required before human germline gene therapy could be attempted. The second part of the book considers the possible medical, evolutionary, economic, military, and psychosocial benefits and harms of human germline gene therapy and also considers the procedure from the perspective of human rights, justice, and interference with nature. The book concludes with some public policy recommendations and stresses the need for international cooperation in developing and implementing human germline gene therapy policies.

Review Biodefense: Principles and Pathogens / Taylor & Francis:The anthrax attacks by bioterrorists in the USA in October 2001 served to highlight our vulnerability to biological warfare and to act as an impetus for a massive increase in funding for biodefense research. In this timely book, top biodefense experts critically review every aspect of this complex issue. The microbiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, epidemiology, infection control and novel therapeutics for all the key pathogens involved are comprehensively covered. Biodefense is currently focused on anthrax, smallpox, plague, tularemia, botulism and viral hemorrhagic fevers and entire chapters are devoted to each of these topics. Further chapters cover the bioterrorism threat from other diseases including brucellosis, glanders, melioidosis, psittacosis, Q fever, typhoid, gastroenteritis and cryptosporidiosis. Biological toxins derived from living organisms, such as the epsilon toxin derived from Clostridium perfringens, mycotoxins and plant-derived toxins such as ricin are also reviewed in detail. Two fascinating chapters are devoted to agroterrorism, the use of infectious agents that target animals and plants to decimate the food supply. Additional chapters cover emerging pathogens and novel bio-engineered agents that could be used in bioterrorism. The book also covers hospital preparedness, infection control, psychosocial issues, and the evolving methods for surveillance and detection in biodefense.

Review Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Orthopedics / Springer:Current clinical orthopedic practice requires practitioners to have extensive knowledge of a wide range of disciplines from molecular biology to bioengineering and from the application of new methods to the evaluation of outcome. The biomechanics of and biomaterials used in orthopedics have become increasingly important as the possibilities have increased to treat patients with foreign material introduced both as optimized osteosynthesis after trauma and as arthroplasties for joint diseases, sequelae of trauma or for tumor treatment. Furthermore, biomaterial substitutes are constantly being developed to replace missing tissue. Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Orthopedics provides an important update within this highly important field. Professor Dominique Poitout has collected a series of high-quality chapters by globally renowned researchers and clinicians. Under the auspices of the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology (SICOT) and International Society of Orthopaedic and Traumatology Research (SIROT), this book now provides permanent and specific access to the considerable international knowledge in the field of locomotor system trauma and disease treatment using the novel bioengineering solutions. This book covers both basic concepts concerning biomaterials and biomechanics as well as their clinical application and the experience from everyday practical use. This book will be of great value to specialists in orthopedics and traumatology, while also provide an important basis for graduate and postgraduate learning.
