Description for Medical and Biomedical Applications of Shock Waves (Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena)
Hardcover. Series: Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena. Num Pages: 378 pages, 14 black & white illustrations, 184 colour illustrations, 156 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; MJS; MMPF; MQW; PHDS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 24. Weight in Grams: 765.
This book provides current, comprehensive, and clear explanations of the physics behind medical and biomedical applications of shock waves. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is one of the greatest medical advances of our time, and its techniques and clinical devices are continuously evolving. Further research continues to improve the understanding of calculi fragmentation and tissue-damaging mechanisms. Shock waves are also used in orthopedics and traumatology. Possible applications in oncology, cardiology, dentistry, gene therapy, cell transfection, transformation of fungi and bacteria, as well as the inactivation of microorganisms are promising approaches for clinical treatment, industrial applications and research.
Medical and Biomedical Applications ... Read more is useful as a guide for students, technicians and researchers working in universities and laboratories. Chemists, biologists, physicians and veterinarians, involved in research or clinical practice will find useful advice, but also engineers and physicists may benefit from the overview of current research endeavors and future directions. Furthermore, it may also serve to direct manufacturers towards the design of more efficient and safer clinical, industrial and laboratory equipment. Show Less
