Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Some vols. include special issues covering the proceedings of the congresses of the European Society of Cardiovascular Surgery or the International Cardiovascular Society.
Adult heart muscle cells
With this volume results become generally available of a recent conference that was the first to discuss properties of isolated heart muscle cells from the adult myocardium as a new cardio logical research tool. The conference was held as an International Erwin Riesch Symposium un der the auspices of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fUr Herz- und Kreislaufforschung at Spangenberg Castle, March 22-25, 1984. It was made possible through funding by the Erwin Riesch Foun dation and the Bayer AG which deserve our gratitude for their generosity. It may not be fully reflected in this collection of papers that the atmosphere of this meeting was unique. The reason for this resided apparently in the still ru...
Arterial Pollution
This two week course on Arterial Pollution covered the field of atherosclerosis as a disease entity, and includes its anatomical, physiopathological, epidemiologic, preventi ve and therapeutic aspects. With the cooperation of an outstanding group of inter national lecturers we have been able to present an overview of the disease and its accidents as it stands today. Such a scope differs greatly from the narrow workshops which only consider biochemical disorders, e.g., the lipoproteins or the risk factors. We believe it was timely to study the entire physiopa thological entity of arterial pollution and we included all aspects of the disease in one single sweep. We are grateful to the Nato Adv...
Towards Safer Cardiac Surgery
D. B. LONGMORE The concept ofthe meeting on which this book is based is unique. There has never be fore been a multi-disciplinary meeting based entirely on the concept of making a major branch of surgery safer. Hopefully, this meeting will be archetypal and will set a precedent for similar attempts in other disciplines as well as future efforts to make cardiac surgery safer. Cardiac surgery is still a rapidly growing discipline even after a quarter of a century of experience. Like any new area of science, or medicine, initially there is an exponential growth ofwork, publications, meetings, options of available equipment and all the ancillary and peripheral disciplines associated with it. The ideas of the handful of original surgical pioneers, some of whom have contributed to this book, formed the basis of a still rapidly growing young branch of surgery with a whole new medical discipline of total extracorporeal circulation involving biochemical and haemodynamic control of a patient.
Isolated Adult Cardiomyocytes
First published in 1989, written with contributions from experts who have critically evaluated the state of the art and the prospects of isolated adults cardiac myocytes in cardiological research, this two-volume publication summarizes the current knowledge of this technology. The methodology, structure, and metabolism of cardiomyocytes are presented, along with metabolism and cation homeostasis and energy metabolism and hypoxic injury. Additionally, cell isolation and culture and the structure and biochemistry of the sarcolemma is explained. Electrophysiology and contractile function with ionic currents and membrane channels is discussed. Also, the electro-physiological effects of transmitters and hormones are presented, with excitation-contraction coupling and the use of cardiomyocytes in drug design and research explained.
Hormonally Defined Media
Until some years ago serum or crude tissue extracts were used pre dominantly or exclusively as media supplements for the cultivation of cells. However, during this time evidence accumulated that these sup plements could not provide in an optimal way most of the cultivated cells with all factors necessary for their survival, their prolifer ation and/or differentiation. Moreover, a variety of cells could not be cultivated at all under these conditions and often the composition of the cultures changed within rather short periods of time by overgrowth of initially present subpopulations of those cells which grow well in these supplements, as for example fibroblasts. Nevertheless, using these sup...
Medizinische Physik
Das Buch bietet eine systematische Einführung in die medizinische Physik. Um insbesondere Medizinstudenten den Zugang zur oft ungeliebten Physik zu erleichtern wurde folgende Darstellung gewählt: Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit einem knappen Abriß der historischen Entwicklung und einer Darstellung der Anwendung in der Medizin. Daran schließt sich jeweils eine wissenschaftlich systematische Stoffrepräsentation an. Als Hilfe beim Lernen, zur Rekapitulation und als schneller Zugriff beim Gebrauch des Buches folgen kapitelweise Zusammenfassungen. Eine sorgfältige Illustration des Stoffes folgt in 367 Beispielen mit Anwendungen der Physik in der Medizin. Als Prüfstein beim Lernen dienen 169 (im ...
