The formation of microcolonies on surfaces is an important bacterial survival strategy. These biofilms occur on both inert and living systems, making them important to a wide range of scientific disciplines. This book first provides an analysis of the chemical, ecological and physical processes involved with the development of biofilms and their interactions with surfaces. The next section deals with biofilms on non-living surfaces. Biofilms have important engineering implications, such as in mining industries, the corrosion of pipelines and pure and waste water industries. Biofilms have medical significance when associated with the mouth, urinary tract and urinogenital tract. In addition, they form in plant root systems and in animals, such as the ruminant digestive tract, and so are agriculturally important. The final section examines these interactions with living surfaces.

The book is intended for self study but would serve as a major resource for a taught course. The book presents examples of formal medical U.K. English, colloquialisms, idioms and clinical notes.

"At its core,evidence-based practice rests on a supposition which,while probabliy true.itself has unclear evidentiary support" A quaret-century of outcomes research,systematic reviews and research synthesis have reshaped medicine and oher health professions,even as they have been subjected to vigorous and vehement criticism. The growth of evidence-based medicine has occurred against a backdrop of health care reform, managed care, cost containment, and quality improvement、and Clinicians have been urged to adopt the rigors of science while remaining true to their "clinical judgment". This tension-btwen efforts to make medical practice make medical practice more scientiric and the suspicions of many clinicians-has caused one of the greatest practical and conceptual origins ofevidence-based practice and discusses key ethical issues that arise in clinical practice, public health, and health policy. 作者简介: Kenneth W.Goodman is founder and director of the university of miami's bioethics program a
