Sparked by a new understanding that the development of tissues is not restricted to the embryonic phase of development and thus that regeneration of tissues can occur in adults, the emerging field of stem cell therapy has grown exponentially in the last several years. Crucially, the research and findings associated with stem cell research overlap into many other areas, such as basic cell biology, molecular biology and hematology, and the proliferation of clinical studies involving stem cell research is gradually crossing over into the practice of medicine as many patients may become candidates for such novel treatments. As a response to this, Guide to Cardiac Cell Therapy is a comprehensive but understandable resource that makes this exciting field accessible to clinical practitioners. Bridging the gap between basic science and practice, it is a useful introduction to the area as well as a cutting-edge update of the developments in stem cell therapy as applied to cardiovascular disease.
The latest diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the management of coronary artery disease by coronary artery bypass graft surgery and by percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting and in the interventional management of other atherosclerotic vascular disease have led to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This book entitled Artery Bypass provides an excellent update on these advances which every physician seeing patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should be familiar with. This book includes 27 chapters written by experts in their topics.
This 39-page report details six incidents resulting in 29 civilian deaths, among them eight children. Human Rights Watch found that Israeli forces failed to take all feasible precautions to verify that these targets were combatants, as required by the laws of war, or that they failed to distinguish between combatants and civilians. Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups have reported a total of 42 drone attacks that killed civilians, 87 in all, during the fighting in December 2008 and January 2009. "Precisely Wrong" is based on field research in Gaza, where Human Rights Watch researchers interviewed victims and witnesses, examined attack sites, collected missile debris for testing, and reviewed medical records. The Israel Defense Forces turned down repeated Human Rights Watch requests for a meeting and did not respond to questions submitted in writing.--Publisher description.

Over the past 5 years there has been great excitement and controversy in the scientific, financial, and lay literature for the potential of stem cell-based strategies for the prev- tion and treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Not that long ago we believed we were born with a set number of cardiac myocytes and that once damaged there was no hope to replace them. The interest in the field stems from the magnitude of cardiovascular disease in the world. Our ability to treat and help patients survive acute myocardial infarction (MI) has resulted in a near epidemic of CHF. There are more than 5 million Americans who currently carry the diagnosis of CHF. With more than 1 million MIs a year i...
Praise for Last Chance to Get It Right! "Tom Moore is one of the capable professionals who made me look good in the last thirty years of my forty-five year career at A.G. Edwards & Sons. He has put together a primer which should help both new and veteran investors understand financial markets and alternatives, and gain a direction and common-sense approach to their estate planning." –Benjamin F. Edwards III, Chairman Emeritus A. G. Edwards & Sons "Tom Moore’s grasp of the problems of retirement planning is superb; his methods of solving those problems unrivalled." –Richard Austin, past president of Templeton Funds Annuity Company currently a Retirement Income Planning Consultant "Tom h...
This title presents the major advances of the last decade in the field of cardiac regeneration.
Medical research made huge strides in treating heart disease in the 20th century, from drug-eluding stents to automatic internal defibrillators. Public awareness of the dangers of heart disease has never been more pervasive. Now, though, ten years into a new millennium, scientists are gearing up for the next great challenges in tackling this pervasive condition. Cell therapy is going to be a key weapon in the fight against heart disease. It has the potential to address many cardiovascular conditions. From heart failure to atrioventricular nodal dysfunction, the young but promising field of cell therapy is set to play a significant role in developing the cures that the upcoming decades of har...
The book covers multifarious aspects of stem cell-based therapy for cardiovascular diseases. In addition to stem cells from different sources for cell-based therapy, it covers stem cell organoids and stem cell-derived exosomes in regenerative medicine. The book also encompasses advances in state-of-the-art infrastructure to improve the maturation aspects of pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes using a novel scaffold-based cell culture system for cell delivery in experimental animal models and clinical settings. Besides the use of mesenchymal stem cells, the book includes chapters on the use of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), microtissue implantation, use of PSCs for valvulopathies,...
"Who knew doctors could be flat-out funny? In fact, who knew they were so smart? For several decades, the last page of Diversion, the leisure magazine for physicians, held a monthly contest for doctors. Their best is offered in this volume. Could Julius Caesar have been an orthopedist (I came, I saw (ed), I conquered”)? Would our litigious society cause MDs to experience flashes of barristopratfallophilia? When utilization review comes to Washington, one physician envisions government posts such as Joint Sheaves of Chaff. Might a sports team be known as The Heimlichs (they never choke under pressure), or The Sphincters (Nothing gets by them, and they have the best tight end in the business.) Another posits that a GI series is a military baseball competition. And somewhere in this great country there is – or certainly should be – a podiatrist named Mehta Tarsal. The surface has just been abraded.
