Clinical and Diagnostic Pathology of Graft-versus-Host Disease Subject of the book is the detailed description of the clinical and diagnostic pathology of one of the strangest diseases of man, the so-called Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GvHD). This disease is caused by the reaction of certain donor cells (T-lymphocytes) with tissue of the recipient, i.e. after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, a life-saving measure in patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia etc. In this context a GvHD may develop with severe disease symptoms in skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and other organs. If the complication is recognized in time an effective treatment of the potentially lethal GvHD is possible.However, this requires a rapid and reliable recognition of GvHD lesions. The book is based on the histopathological study of more than 1000 biopsies and 50 autopsies performed by the author as the reference pathologist of the center for bone marrow transplantation of the University of Ulm.
Osseointegration And Autogenous Onlay Bone Grafts: Reconstruction of the Edentulous Atrophic Maxilla (Osseointegration and Autogenous Onlay Bone Grafts) This book reports the author's 15-years experiences with autogenous onlay bone grafting & simultaneous endosseous fixture placement in the reconstruction of the edentulous atrophic maxilla.
Bone Grafts And Bone Graft Substitutes (Monograph Series (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)) Yale Univ., New Haven, CT. Topics include biology of bone grafts, demineralized bone matrix and synthetic bone graft substitutes, role of bone morphogenetic proteins in skeletal repair, bone marrow and bone marrow products as osteogenic aids for bone repair, and more. For orthopedic surgeons. Softcover.
Bone Grafts and Bone Substitutes: Basic Science and Clinical Applications This book provides the latest updates on the major challenges of bridging large bone defects, where options range from autografts, tissue engineered bone, biomaterials (hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone and third generation biomaterials) to prostheses. Emphasis has been made on bone tissue engineering, the current state-of-the-art in this field, problems encountered with cell culture technology, scaffolds and bone growth factors (including genomics) and the use of gene therapy for the application of bone growth factors. Attention has also been given to the use of bone autografts. It also covers the use of biomaterials and prostheses as other options for reconstruction. Clinical applications, in addition to the basic science, are also included throughout the discussions.
The Sinus Bone Graft This completely revised and greatly expanded edition offers authoritative recommendations concerning all aspects of sinus bone grafting procedures for rehabilitation of the atrophic maxilla. Written for the uninitiated as well as the experienced clinician, this comprehensive clinical monograph also guides readers through the maze of new materials and techniques that have been introduced to improve upon or even supplant this procedure. It answers questions such as whether autogenous bone is necessary and where best to harvest it; which bone substitutes are most effective in regenerating bone and how safe they are to use; what contraindications exist, and what complications might be expected; what characteristics of size/shape/surface morphology are most important in choosing an implant; and many others. The last section of the book explores the future prospects for genetic engineering and other gene-based therapies that may one day eliminate the need for bone grafting.
Graft vs. Host Disease, Third Edition
With detailed contributions from more than 40 leading authorities on the topic, this Third Edition comprehensively explores the immunobiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)-offering sections revealing the most up-to-date research on immune activation and dysregulation, the pathophysiology of target organ damage, and GvHD prevention and treatment.
