Download or read book Muscle Transplantation written by G. Freilinger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a long and troublesome history but an inspiring and excltmg one too-from the time of Zielonko, a Russian pathologist who in 1874 first transplanted muscles, to the present day microneurovascular muscle graft. Today we know that for functional recovery of muscle tissue vascularisation and neurotisation are of equal importance. With the establishment of microsurgery of small vessels and nerves, its application for myopias tic operations has gained increasing interest. It was my intention to bring together leading authorities from all over the world in the field of muscle transplantation. Open questions and unsolved problems had to be discussed between research workers in the basic medical sciences and our clinical colleagues; in this way progress can best be accomplished. This publication is the result of the "Vienna Muscle Symposium" (June 13-14, 1980). It gives an up-to-date viewpoint and should act as a stimulus to all who are interested in this particular field. I wish to express my sincere thanks to those who have contributed to this publication, to the two co-editors J. Holle and B. M. Carlson for their effective cooperation, and to Springer-Verlag Wien for their prompt and most efficient work.

In view of the important and rapid changes occurring in this area, a new edition of this yearbook will appear periodically. The editors' careers at Harvard Medical School guarantee the quality of this book. The authors, too, are uniformly drawn from the highest rank of an unusually dedicated and heterogeneous professional group. from the Foreword by Thomas E. Starzl, Honorary President, The Cell Transplant Society: `No major topic in the global field is left uncovered ... the result will be a feast for those already well informed, and a life raft for those who are not.'
Download or read book Practical Techniques in Flap Surgery written by Yuichi Hirase and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written for orthopedic and plastic surgeons who wish to learn about reconstructive surgery of the extremities and trunk. For reconstructions of the extremities and trunk, surgeons need information on both orthopedic and plastic surgery. However, orthopedic surgeons are generally not familiar with the reconstruction of soft tissue, and plastic surgeons have little experience with osseo-tendinous system reconstructions. For those reasons, there is a definite need for a book detailing both fields of surgery. Because many existing books focus on only the type of flap, it is difficult for doctors to distinguish which flap is best for their patients in need of reconstructive surgery. In this book, chapters are based not on the flap but the injury site. In the each chapter, pitfalls and candidate flaps are described for the reconstruction of each site. Additionally, the operative steps are explained with the help of numerous high-quality photos, offering a unique valuable resource for orthopedic and plastic surgeons faced with these challenges.
Download or read book Cellular Transplantation written by Craig Halberstadt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been tremendous strides in cellular transplantation in recent years, leading to accepted practice for the treatment of certain diseases, and use for many others in trial phases. The long history of cellular transplantation, or the transfer of cells from one organism or region of the body to another, has been revolutionized by advances in stem cell research, as well as developments in gene therapy. Cellular Transplants: From Lab to Clinic provides a thorough foundation of the basic science underpinning this exciting field, expert overviews of the state-of-the-art, and detailed description of clinical success stories to date, as well as insights into the road ahead. As highlighted by this timely and authoritative survey, scale-up technologies and whole organ transplantation are among the hurdles representing the next frontier. The contents are organized into four main sections, with the first covering basic biology, including transplant immunology, the use of immunosuppressive drugs, stem cell biology, and the development of donor animals for transplantation. The next part looks at peripheral and reconstructive applications, followed by a section devoted to transplantation for diseases of the central nervous system. The last part presents efforts to address the key challenges ahead, such as identifying novel transplantable cells and integrating biomaterials and nanotechnology with cell matrices. Provides detailed description of clinical trials in cell transplantation Review of current therapeutic approaches Coverage of the broad range of diseases addressed by cell therapeutics Discussion of stem cell biology and its role in transplantation

Download or read book Microsurgical Neuro Vascular Anastomoses written by H.M. Tschopp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrust forward into small dimensions with the aid of high magni fication (6-40 power) under the operating microscope marks an important development in almost all fields of surgery. Neurosurgery, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology have already integrated the binocular mono scope as an indispensable tool into their armamentarium. General surgery is also making increasing use of it-as is the case with transplantations of autogenous free intestinal grafts. A great "victory march of microsurgery", however, appears to be taking place in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Reimplantation of arms, hands, and especially digits are hardly thinkable today without the possibility of high magnification. New microsurgical anastomosing techniques (interfascicular neurorrhaphy) have also improved the func tional results after nerve injuries. Time-consuming reconstructive proce dures, such as the transfer of a distant flap with its physical and psycho logical burden, are being increasingly replaced by free flaps transplanted by microvascular suture techniques-the most popular free flap being the groin flap in which the superficial circumflex iliac artery and vein is reanastomosed to the recipient vessels. Nevertheless, the writer was sceptical when Dr. TSCHOPP set about with his ambitious plan to transplant a free autogenous rib graft in combination with its adjacent intercostal musculature. The evidence of the results obtained has given the lie to my scepticism. Dr. TSCHOPP has not only succeeded in securing the complete arterial and venous supply to the musculoskeletal graft at the recipient site but has also managed to preserve the functioning entity of nerve and muscle.
