Over the past few decades, cardiovascular disease and diabetes have emerged as major public health problems, both as distinct clinical entities and as comorbid conditions. As a result, the fields of vascular biology and endocrinology are working more closely now than ever before. With chapters by renowned experts, Cardiovascular Endocrinology: Shared Pathways and Clinical Crossroads emphasizes the considerable physiological interrelationships and clinical correlations between the specialties of cardiovascular medicine and endocrinology. Offering a wealth of information, Cardiovascular Endocrinology: Shared Pathways and Clinical Crossroads provides a range of insights, including a novel view ...
This book is a complete guide to the management of head and neck cancer. Divided into five sections, the text begins with discussion on pre-treatment assessment and evaluation. Section two covers management of numerous different head and neck cancers, from oral and larynx, to temporal bone, saliva gland, thyroid, and many more. A complete chapter is dedicated to robotic surgery. The following sections detail management of tumour-like lesions, reconstructive surgery, and post-treatment care and rehabilitation. Authored by recognised experts in the field, the comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures. Key points Comprehensive guide to management of head and neck cancer Complete chapter dedicated to robotic surgery Discusses reconstructive surgery and post-treatment care Includes images and figures to enhance text

The second of a four-volume set, this book covers oral cavity and oropharynx pathology. It’s goal is to become a “go-to” sign-out resource for head and neck pathology, incorporating anatomy, staging, diagnostic, and prognostic information. This richly illustrated volume has a bullet point format, where appropriate, allowing information to be easily located. This book is aimed at trainee and practicing pathologists in the USA and worldwide, and is also of interest to oral pathologists and oral pathology trainees.
The book is an introduction to concepts in head and neck surgical pathology that are both novel and proven. Chapters discuss the various anatomic, reconstructive, and esthetic considerations that are often unique to surgeries of the head, face, and neck. International cooperation was made to ensure that a wide range of perspectives is presented in this volume.
In recent years, the interest of the scientific community towards efficient energy systems has significantly increased. One of the reasons is certainly related to the change in the temperature of the planet, which has increased by 0.76 °C with respect to preindustrial levels, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and is still increasing. The European Union considers it vital to prevent global warming from exceeding 2 °C with respect to pre-industrial levels, as it has been proven that this will result in irreversible and potentially catastrophic changes. These changes in climate are mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions related to human activities, and can ...
The increasing concern with indoor air quality has led to air-quality standards with increased ventilation rates. Although increasing the volume flow rate of outside air is advisable from the perspective of air-quality, it is detrimental to energy consumption, since the outside air has to be brought to the comfort condition before it is insufflated to the conditioned ambient. Moreover, the humidity load carried within outside air has challenging HVAC engineers to design cooling units which are able to satisfactorily handle both sensible and latent contributions to the thermal load. This constitutes a favorable scenario for the use of solid desiccants to assist the cooling units. In fact, des...
The MSME2014 is hosted by Advanced Information Science Research Center (AISRC) and is sponsored by DEStech Publications, Inc., University of East Asia, University of Mysore and Reitaku University. MSME2014 aims to provide an excellent international academic forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications in the aspects of material science and material engineering. This MSME2014 proceedings tends to collect the up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-art knowledge on material science and material engineering, including material composites, ceramic, metal alloy material, polymer material, building materials, environmental friendly material, material performance, etc. All of accepted papers were subjected to strict peer- reviewing by 2–4 expert referees. The papers have been selected for this volume because of quality and the relevance to the conference. We hope this book will not only provide the readers a broad overview of the latest research results, but also provide the readers a valuable summary and reference in these fields.
