A visual atlas which describes –day by day– the hole process of embryonic development in order to be able to identify critical points in this process so a final and correct diagnosis can be established.
Grafting materials must be safe, biocompatible and able to guarantee lasting results. Among the fundamental features of the ideal material is the ability to promote bone regeneration. The autologous tooth is a very promising candidate because it allows osteoinduction and its maintenance after the treatment. After examining the current scientific evidence and studies carried out at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy), The tooth as a graft provides an overview of all the aspects of bone regeneration and the various devices available on the market are presented and compared, their use explained step-by-step, from cleaning the tooth to the grinding, to the treatment of the material before grafting.
This gem of a book on aortic dissection brings together all the superstars in the field as authors and is edited by two of them, Germano Melissano and Roberto Chiesa. The volume contains the most thorough and up-to-date information on this disease entity and its treatment. It also includes two chapters that provide perspectives of patients suffering from this serious disease, which is so often unrecognized and poorly treated. Accordingly, this text is a “must-have” for all specialists and generalists interested in the challenging disease process of aortic dissections.
Treatments for aortic diseases have undergone explosive advances in the last decade. So too has our understanding of aortic disease processes. This progress in understanding and available treatments has come with the cost of increasing complexity. Roberto Chiesa and Germano Melissano have edited a unique jewel of a book which deals with the many complexities of these advances in the pathogenesis of aortic diseases, their endovascular and open treatments and the management of treatment complications.
