This book was released on 2007-07-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2006, the 5th International Symposium on Middle Ear Mechanics in Research and Otology was held at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. More than 250 participants from 33 countries in all five continents came together to present their most current research results, exchange their knowledge in practical applications, to discuss open questions and discover new unsolved problems.This book includes representative, peer-reviewed articles of the lectures and papers presented during the symposium, and thereby gives an overview of the ongoing research and current knowledge in the function and mechanics of the normal, diseased and reconstructed middle ear. It covers basic research, engineering and clinical aspects of evaluation, diagnosis and surgery of the middle ear as well as implantable hearing devices in a very broad and interdisciplinary way. Following the tradition of the organizers of the previous conferences to collect the contributions of the symposium, this volume further initialized and promotes many fruitful discussions on middle ear mechanics with different points of view.

The World Congress 2009 on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering – the triennial scientific meeting of the IUPESM - is the world’s leading forum for presenting the results of current scientific work in health-related physics and technologies to an international audience. With more than 2,800 presentations it will be the biggest conference in the fields of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in 2009! Medical physics, biomedical engineering and bioengineering have been driving forces of innovation and progress in medicine and healthcare over the past two decades. As new key technologies arise with significant potential to open new options in diagnostics and therapeutics, it is a multidisciplinary task to evaluate their benefit for medicine and healthcare with respect to the quality of performance and therapeutic output. Covering key aspects such as information and communication technologies, micro- and nanosystems, optics and biotechnology, the congress will serve as an inter- and multidisciplinary platform that brings together people from basic research, R&D, industry and medical application to discuss these issues. As a major event for science, medicine and technology the congress provides a comprehensive overview and in–depth, first-hand information on new developments, advanced technologies and current and future applications. With this Final Program we would like to give you an overview of the dimension of the congress and invite you to join us in Munich! Olaf Dössel Congress President Wolfgang C.

This book provides an overview of new image-guided procedures in all areas of medical application.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings)• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)• CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences• CC Proceedings — Biomedical, Biological & Agricultural Sciences
Download or read book The Middle Ear written by Sunil Puria and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The middle ear plays a vital role in the sense and sensitivity of hearing. Of the various characteristics that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates, several pertain specifically to the middle-ear system, such as the presence of three middle-ear bones and the four-layer composite structure of the tympanic membrane. The Middle Ear attempts to elucidate the role this system plays in sound transmission, as viewed from both scientific and clinical perspectives.

Download or read book Chronic Otitis Media Pathogenesis Oriented Therapeutic Management written by Bernard Ars and published by Kugler Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of surgery for chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is littered with stories of techniques and materials that were tried with enthusiasm but without a reasonable expectation of long-term success. The early papers on tympanoplasty, and sadly even some still today, contain numerous short-term follow-up reports of new procedures that looked as if they might revolutionise ear surgery. By the nature of the problem, the longer-term results often proved to be poor and by the nature of humans, the original author didn't report this. As a result, perhaps hundreds of patients elsewhere were subjected to surgery that was already doomed to failure even before the operations started. The journals of the sixties and seventies contain many reports which most would rather forget. I began my otologic career in the early sixties, at the height of the otologic renaissance, and so often we felt that with just one more push conductive deafness would become a thing of the past. Now we know that the problems of middle ear reconstruction are multifactorial and that we are not simply looking for one single step to restore and maintain hearing and stability. What we need, is a greater understanding of why some procedures succeed and others fail. Happily in this book, Professor Ars and his team of leading clinicians and scientists, begin by looking at the ranges of causes of the problems. They then move on to examine the essentials needed for getting good results, and they do this in the light of those things which we know at the outset cannot possibly succeed. Professor Ars has gathered together an excellent group of otologists who start with the initial causes of the problems and move on to look for the essentials of success. Having identified these, they go on to explore how we can lay the foundations to achieve them. Finally, they look at the operative procedures they consider most likely to achieve success. This is an excellent book, which should improve the thinking behind surgery for CSOM. Alan G. Kerr, OBE, FRCS

Download or read book Medicine Meets Engineering written by Joachim Hammer and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomedical Engineering is defined as the science that integrates medical and engineering sciences to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients. Only by this integration progress can be achieved. Both medical and engineering sciences comprise a huge diversity in topics, so it is imaginable that Biomedical Engineering, combining these two science areas, is even more huge. Thanks to this megadisciplinary approach many breakthroughs can be achieved. More and more research groups realize this and start new research projects, which results in a rapid increase in knowledge in Biomedical Engineering. This will only benefit the main goal of Biomedical Engineering; improving diagnosis and treatment of patients when it is spread and applied. The 2nd Regensburg Applied Biomechanics conference is special in that it realized both the distribution of new knowledge and the essential integration of medical and engineering specialists. The conference dealt with the latest results in applied biomechanics, ranging from fundamental bone strength properties via bone remodeling phenomena to new implants that replace lost human functions. Also new research areas like robot surgery and tissue engineering were discussed.
