Total Knee Arthroplasty
Johan Bellemans (Editor) Michael D. Ries (Editor) Jan M.K. Victor (Editor) 2005 Few domains in orthopedics have evolved so dramatically over the past decades as our knowledge and understanding of knee physiology and knee replacement surgery. Long ago are the days that hinged knees or unconstrained flat on flat components with gamma irradiated in air polyethylene were […]

Edited by RONALD G. WILEY DOUGLAS A. LAPPI 2005 The use of targeted cytotoxins in experimental neurobiology is a new field. This strategy involves producing highly selective neural lesions by targeting a cytotoxin into specific neurons based on their binding to surface membrane targets, such as neurotransmitter or growth factor receptors, and so on.

Edited by DENNIS G. CARALIS GEORGE L. BAKRIS 2005 Arterial diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in all industrialized countries, and their incidence is increasing in nonindustrial countries. Among the industrialized countries, the United States in particular is in the midst of an epidemic of obesity and diabetes.

Edited by Jahar Bhattacharya 2005 Inflammatory disease of the lung vascular bed is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both adult and pediatric age groups. A particularly devastating consequence of lung inflammation is lung injury, which alone accounts for 150,000 cases annually in the United States, and carries a mortality rate of more than 30%.

Stilianos E. Kountakis Brent A. Senior Wolfgang Draf Editors 2005 Advances in instrumentation and surgical techniques continue to yield improvements in the surgical management of sinus disease. Rhinologists have developed techniques to address disease in remote areas along the anterior skull base so that many procedures previously performed using an open approach may now be performed endoscopically.

Karl Hörmann Thomas Verse 2005 Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is of growing interest. To address the importance to the public health, it has been shown in 1993 that 9% of middle-aged women and 24% of middle-aged men suffer from SDB with consecutive cardiovascular disorders.
