Review Operative Cardiac Surgery / A Hodder Arnold Publication:Previous editions of this book have established it as the pre-eminent guide to operative surgery of the heart and great vessels. The work is a major revision edited by two well-respected American surgeons and includes a host of prestigious international contributors. The scope of the book is fully up-to-date with modern practice, including descriptions of minimally invasive and and "off pump" procedures. Each procedure is illustrated by a series of step-by-step full color line illustrations-consistently cited in market research as the best demonstrated surgical method - with detailed notes on operative techniques. Additional text describes the priciples and justification of choosing each procedure, preoperative assessment and preparation, postoperative care and outcomes. The book is a gold standard on operative cardiac surgery and will be widely used by residents and surgeons approaching unfamiliar or uncommon procedures.

Review Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (Cancer Treatment and Research) / Springer:Blood Stem Cell Transplantation conveys the excitement that accompanies the newest developments in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Some of the applications that stand to impact this field most significantly are based on recent advances in the biological sciences, as demonstrated by the chapters on gene therapy, on the detection of minimal residual disease using molecular techniques, and on the use of radioimmunoconjugates targeting lymphoma and leukemia-associated antigens. Others are the results of clinical observations - e. g. , the association between graft-versus-host- disease (GVHD) and durable remissions that have led to creative clinical experiments such as donor leukocyte infusions (DLI). Attempts to unravel the biological events that underlie the responses seen in patients with relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia treated with DLI are likely to provide the basis for future refinements in this clinical approach. Hopefully, improved response rates and reduced toxicity will result. The power of the immunologic response in controlling malignant disease is underscored in the chapter on post-transplant immunotherapy. The complex immunologic process that results in clinical GVHD may be dissected and engineered to provide clinical benefits that include, in addition to its antineoplastic effects, the amelioration of its clinical manifestations. Better control of GVHD with less global immunosuppression will facilitate the use of mismatched and unrelated donors. [+]This area of investigation perfectly illustrates the continued interplay between the laboratory and the clinic. The continued cross-fertilization of ideas between immunologists, molecular biologists and clinical investigators is likely to yield important advances in this field for years to come. Possible applications of stem cell transplantation continue to grow with the identification of alternative sources of stem cells and the potential to engineer and/or expand the graft. Although the use of unrelated and mismatched donors continues to increase, the possibilities associated with umbilical cord blood transplantation are legion, especially if stem cells can be expanded ex vivo to provide grafts for full-sized adults. Using techniques in which contaminating malignant cells may be eliminated from autografts through positive selection, autologous transplantation may prove highly effective, especially when coupled with post-transplant immunotherapy. Some of these same methodologies have helped facilitate the use of autologous grafts for transplantation in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia without allogeneic donors. Advances in the supportive care of transplant patients, including the pretransplant identification of those at risk from pulmonary complications and the use of cytokines to speed engraftment, have reduced morbidity and mortality to such a degree that it is appropriate to consider high-dose therapy and stem cell reconstitution in patients with nonmalignant diseases. The impressive advances that have occurred in transplantation for thalassemia are described by pioneers in their area of investigation. The burgeoning field of transplantation for autoimmune disorders, including its immunobiologic basis and soon-to- be-realized clinical potential, is also summarized. Continued progress in the use of high-dose therapy with stem cell rescue for the treatment of pediatric tumors, which derives in part from improved supportive care, is detailed. The sobering voice of the health care economists underscores the necessary limitations to our seemingly unbridled imagination. Cost- consciousness and financial know-how will need to be reflected in future study designs. Given the seemingly endless applications of our technology, strategies to insure its cost-effectiveness will be necessary. Continued financial support for laboratory investigation and for the clinical experiments they generate will be required if we are to go forward. Blood Stem Cell Transplantation lays the foundation for many of these future advances; it is incumbent upon us all to insure its realization.

Review Practical Design Control Implementation for Medical Devices / Informa HealthCare:Bringing together, for the first time, the concepts of design control and reliability engineering, Practical Design Control Implementation helps you face the challenge of designing and developing products that comply with regulatory requirements and fulfill customer expectations. Written with all levels of management and technical personnel in mind, the authors demonstrate how successful design control implementation can result in fewer customer complaints and medical device reports, more satisfied customers, and faster time-to-market. Part One focuses on the practical aspects of design control implementation for medical devices. The fundamental concepts of design control are not new. What is new is the adoption by the FDA of these principles and their consequent enforcement. Also new to the medical device industry are the different technical concepts, tools, and techniques necessary to implement design control. In this section, each chapter provides practical advice and insight on the required FDA design control elements. Part Two explores the reliability of medical devices and how design control can influence that reliability. The book presents easy to understand examples of typical product design and development phases with the corresponding reliability and risk analysis tools such as failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), hazard analysis, reliability planning, reliability prediction, design verification, and validation. The authors discuss the inter-relatedness of reliability engineering and design control and apply the concept to medical device design. [+]Providing common sense explanations and guidance, Practical Design Control Implementation helps readers successfully execute design control and reliability engineering procedures that not only meet the FDA guidelines but also meet or exceed customer expectations.

Review Organic Chemistry in Action (Studies in Organic Chemistry) / Elsevier Science:Hardbound. The first edition of this book was welcomed with great enthusiasm by teachers and students. It therefore seemed opportune to publish a second, revised, updated and extended edition. Unfortunately, Professor Fèlix Serratosa died before he could complete this task. Some new material has been added, the more significant changes being:1) The book has been restructured into two well-differentiated sections: Part A, dealing with conventional organic synthesis, and Part B, devoted exclusively to computer-assisted organic synthesis and based on the former Chapter 11 and Appendices 2, 3 and 4 of the first edition. As decided in advance, Part B was to be the sole responsibility of Dr. Josep Xicart, who prepared the first versions of the CHAOS (Computerisation and Heuristics Applied to Organic Synthesis) program under the direction of Professor Serratosa. 2) In Chapter 1, emphasis is placed on new objectives and targets, as well as on.

Review Quantitative Treatments of Solute/Solvent Interactions (Theoretical and Computational Chemistry) / Elsevier Science:Hardbound. The primary objective of this volume, the first in a new series entitled Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, is to survey some effective approaches to understanding, describing and predicting ways in which solutes and solvents interact and the effects they have upon each other. The treatment of solute/solvent interactions that is presented emphasizes a synergism between theory and experiment. Data obtained experimentally are used as a basis for developing quantitative theoretical models that permit the correlation and interpretation of the data, and also provide a predictive capability. The latter being of course a key motivation for these efforts. Linear solvation energy relationships have been quite successful in this respect and accordingly receive considerable attention. Other effective approaches, including computational ones, are also being pursued, and are discussed in several chapters. This is an area that is continually evolving,.

Review Criminal Justice and the Mentally Disordered (International Library of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Penology) / Dartmouth Pub Co:This selection of essays asks rather than answers questions. It is divided into five sections which explore various areas of research into the criminal justice system and the mentally disordered. The first section aims to examine the nature of the relationship between offending and mental disorder, in essence, how much is causation, how much is correlation, and what consequences follow? Do the mentally disordered deserve their just measure of punishment, or alternatively, can the justice process itself be therapeutic to those with such needs? The second section addresses some of the conceptual and methodological problems which impede a full understanding of the issues. It explores the perspective of those who seek to explain criminal behaviour on the basis of individual factors, at odds with those who locate explanatory force in the more general social processes. Section three takes a look at the way in which the justice process deals with the mentally disordered, from early involvement by the police, through assored diversion schemes and special defenses, via the problems of sentencing and to the prevalence of disorder within incarcerated populations. At each level it is evident that there is a degree of discretion operating. Section four looks at the ethical and moral problems which arise when psychiatrists involve themselves with the criminal process and, in particular, in the use of preventive "longer than normal" sentences. This touches on the debate over whether psychiatrists should be involved, however tenuously, with the death penalty. The final section deals with the topic of dangerous mentally disordered offenders. In so doing the selection of articles seeks to expose some of the mythology around this topic, concluding that dangerousness, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder.
