This book provides detailed information about peptides and dendrimers and their application in dentistry. Modern peptide and dendrimer chemistry techniques are being used by dental researchers to identify, prevent, and possibly treat oral disorders. Even though the research on peptide chemistry and oral/dental health is still in its early stages, it has already yielded some promising findings that, if developed further, might have a positive impact on all of our health and help both sectors' research paradigms. The book was written for those interested in research on novel materials in the field of dentistry, and will open numerous doors for new research in the field of preventive dentistry.
This book covers two increasingly prominent aspects of dentistry: nanotechnology and ozone. Nanotechnology has rapidly expanded into all areas of science; it offers significant alternative ways of solving scientific and medical questions and problems. In dentistry, nanotechnology has been exploited in the development of restorative materials with significant success. The recent advances in nanotechnology could hold promise in bringing about a paradigm shift in the dental field. Although there are numerous complex therapies being developed to treat many diseases, their clinical use requires careful consideration of the expense of synthesis and implementation. The world is moving towards non-invasive methods of treatment and the principle of ‘extension for prevention’ is losing its popularity. The energized form of oxygen is ozone, which has varied properties like anti-microbial activity, biocompatibility, disinfection and healing properties. As such, this book shows that it has a major scope of application in the fields of medicine and dentistry.

Mishaps and medical emergencies are those unfortunate occurrences that happen during treatment, some owing to inattention to detail, others totally unpredictable. The dental professional is faced with daily continuum of clinical situation requiring an integration of fact, experience, interpretation, application and analysis. The ability to confront these situations in a systematic successful manner, characterizes the problem-solving approach to treatment and evaluation. The stressful nature of a dental visit can trigger an emergency in sensitive younger patients. For immediate and efficient management, training of dental surgeons in the field of management of mishaps and medical emergencies, the availability of emergency drugs and equipment in the dental clinics is essential. Every dentist should know the therapeutic dose and procedures adapted to children to avoid complications or reduce them to a minimum. Working with children is more difficult because of their young age and differences in the physiological and psychological senses.
Ethnoecology has blossomed in recent years into an important science because of the realization that the vast body of knowledge contained in both indigenous and folk cultures is being rapidly lost as natural ecosystems and cultures are being destroyed by the encroachment of development. Ethnobotany and ethnozoology both began largely with direct observations about the ways in which people used plants and animals and consisted mainly of the compilation of lists. Recently, these subjects have adopted a much more scientific and quantitative methodology and have studied the ways in which people manage their environment and, as a consequence, have used a much more ecological approach.

Owing to their hardness, density and extreme durability in the burial matrix, human teeth offer investigators a remarkably complete biological and behavioral record of past and living populations. This volume chronicles the dramatic progress made in dental anthropology since the field was established in 1963. Covers a range of methodologies and addresses numerous research questions of current interest. Among the topics discussed are microwear, morphological variation, adontometrics, intentional and unintentional modification, age estimation, pathology, enamel defects, occlusal variation, growth and development.
This popular textbook for pharmacy students provides all the information they need to know about medicinal chemistry. The third edition features new layout and design in an attractive two-colour presentation. It contains clear classifications, synthetic schemes, modes of action, metabolism, assay, pharmacological uses with the dose and structure activity relationship (SAR) of the drugs for the various body systems. - Contains a complete section on drug design, describing the new drug development. - Includes an introduction to the physiological and pathophysiological conditions of diseases and their treatment. - Provides well-illustrated synthetic schemes and alternative synthetic routes for the majority of drugs. - Additional physico-chemical parameters have been explained.
Obstetricians must have a firm grounding in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting pregnant women as in some cases these may threaten the life of mother or baby or both. This book still remains the standard reference work on medical disorders in obstetric practice in the UK and UK-influenced areas such as the former Commonwealth. Exhaustive in its coverage, it provides clear practical advice on the major medical disorders the obstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews the pathophysiology of a complaint then applies the physiological and pathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis and management of the disorder as well as giving clear guidance on the welfare of the unborn One of the major strengths of the book is that each chapter teaches the principles of care and gives an appreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than just the facts. Although a scholarly and rigourous account it manages to point out the clinically relevant information that the practising obstetrician will actually need.
This book is a complete guide to the diagnosis and management of ENT diseases for undergraduate medical students and trainees in otolaryngology. Divided into nine sections, the text begins with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of each part of the otolaryngologic system and explains bacteria, antibiotics, fungi and viruses, and HIV. The following sections cover numerous diseases and disorders in each otolaryngologic region – ear, nose and sinuses, oral cavity and salivary glands, pharynx and oesophagus, larynx, trachea and bronchus; and neck. The final chapters discuss surgical procedures, imaging, radio- and chemotherapy, anaesthesia, and laser surgery. The second edition has been...
