Description
There has been an exponential increase in the volume and quality of published research relating to spine care over the last several decades. Among thousands of articles, a small fraction has been shown to be truly “game changing,” forcing the entire field to pause and take notice. These landmark studies may describe a new procedure or surgical approach, evaluate the relative effects of known treatments or techniques, introduce a new classification system, or provide new insights into natural history or disease prognosis. Such studies form the foundations of spine surgery today.This book will be a useful reference not only to the established spine surgeon, but also to neurosurgery and orthopedic residents, as well as to spine surgery fellows as they continue to fortify their knowledge surrounding spinal disorders. Further, this will no doubt serve as a useful evidence-based resource for trainees studying for professional examinations and perhaps most importantly challenge and inspire clinicians to produce high-quality impactful research.
Reviews
From the Inside Flap The only book to cover adhesion in pharmaceutical,
biomedical and dental fields The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal
importance in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental fields. A few
eclectic examples will suffice to underscore the importance/relevance of
adhesion in these three areas. For example, the adhesion between powdered
solids is of crucial importance in tablet manufacture. The interaction
between biodevices (e.g., stents, bio-implants) and body environment
dictates the performance of such devices, and there is burgeoning research
activity in modifying the surfaces of such implements to render them
compatible with bodily components. In the field of dentistry, the modern
trend is to shift from retaining of restorative materials by mechanical
interlocking to adhesive bonding. The book contains 15 chapters written by
internationally-renowned subject matter experts and is divided into four
parts: Part 1: General Topics; Part 2: Adhesion in Pharmaceutical Field;
Part 3: Adhesion in Biomedical Field; and Part 4: Adhesion in Dental Field.
The topics covered include: Theories or mechanisms of adhesion; wettability
of powders; role of surface free energy in tablet strength and powder flow
behavior; mucoadhesive polymers for drug delivery systems; transdermal
patches; skin adhesion in long-wear cosmetics; factors affecting microbial
adhesion; biofouling and ways to mitigate it; adhesion of coatings on
surgical tools and bio-implants; adhesion in fabrication of microarrays in
clinical diagnostics; antibacterial polymers for dental adhesives and
composites; evolution of dental adhesives; and testing of dental adhesive
joints. AudienceThis book will be of great interest and considerable
importance in materials science, physics and chemistry and R&D personnel in
pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental arenas as well as practicing doctors
and advanced graduate students carrying out research in these three
disciplines. –This text refers to the hardcover edition. From the Back
