Human Amniotic Membrane: Basic Science And Clinical Application
This book is a comprehensive guide for all tissue bank operators to screen, procure and process amniotic membrane for clinical application.The amnion comes close to being the ideal biological membrane or dressing — readily available, inexpensive to procure and process. Its basic science is discussed in detail — anatomy, biological and biomechanical properties.It can be procured from the placenta in normal vaginal deliveries and from Caesarean Sections. Processing is by freeze-drying or by air-drying process with sterilisation using gamma irradiation.The product has low antigenicity, has anti-microbial properties with ability to enhance epithelisation with marked relief of pain. It is useful as a dressing for wounds — flap wounds, burn wounds, injury wounds, diabetic ulcers, leprous ulcers and post-surgery wounds and post-radiation wounds. It is also used as a biological scaffold for cells in tissue engineering. Its ophthalmic applications include treatment of corneal ulcers and conjunctival tumours. Oral uses include gingiva depigmentation and periodontal regeneration.
Radiation In Tissue Banking: Basic Science And Clinical Applications Of Irradiated Tissue Allografts
Author: Abdul Aziz Nather
language: en
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Release Date: 2007-04-20
This important book discusses the need for gamma irradiation in the processing of tissue allografts. With particular emphasis on tissue banking in the Asia-Pacific region, it covers a wide range of issues in tissue banking, including the basic science of radiation, quality control of the irradiation process, and clinical applications of irradiated bone grafts and amnions.A compulsory textbook for the well-regarded Singapore-based IAEA/NUS Diploma Course in Tissue Banking, it is also a useful guide for tissue bankers in establishing quality systems in their banks. Whether they be tissue banking students, tissue graft producers, radiation scientists, or transplantation surgeons, readers of this book will discover the latest developments in this exciting interdisciplinary field.
OrthoBiologics
OrthoBiologics provides state-of-the-art knowledge of current biologic therapies for a variety of orthopaedic conditions in a single source. The content is presented in a straightforward manner, including defining all currently available orthobiologic options, discussing processing characteristics and appropriate clinical use, and finally, summarizing clinical applications and outcomes as well as future potential directions.In addition to covering current approaches and applications, the editors aim for this book to present "best practices" for those practicing and researching orthopaedic pathologies and orthobiologic treatments, including blood and cellular based therapies. The editors are world-renown experts in the field and this book fills a gap in the market. - Presents the current state-of-the-art treatments for orthobiologics, including PRP, stem cell therapy, growth factors, scaffolds, and more - Includes a comprehensive overview of orthobiologics, including definitions, terminology, processing characteristics, clinical outcomes, and more - Presents current information on the ever-changing regulatory environment - Provides real-time information on clinical and surgical utilization of orthobiologics - Written for clinicians, researchers, and students, with content relevant to all those who participate in orthobiologic research and treatment, including orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, rheumatologists, physiatrists, and any/all clinicians and researchers with an interest in orthobiologics and regenerative medicine.
