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.

Leading academic urologists and physicians detail how to perform the major adult urologic laparoscopic procedures. The authors offer clear, concise chapters focusing on getting started, laparoscopic instrumentation, and step-by-step procedural adult laparoscopy. The instrumentation chapter is completely cross-referenced so that operating room and hospital personnel can use the book as a comprehensive reference guide for most laparoscopic procedures. The procedures range from the simple to the advanced and include the transperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and hand-assisted approaches to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy-the gold standard for most renal pathology.

Bioenergetics is the study of the way biological systems, usually at the molecular level, utilize and convert energy in order to drive the biochemical reactions that constitute life. However, because of its often quantitative basis and the amount of technical jargon, the subject tends to alienate and intimidate students. This beautifully illustrated text has a lucid and logical approach to the subject. The text uses the modern perspective throughout so that the student is given an easily assimilable, logical introduction to the important concepts of the subject, particulary the core concept, the 'chemiosmotic theory'. It has been specifically designed to make information easily accessible by devoting each double-page spread to one topic. Within the spread, a variety of carefully constructed diagrams present information in a concise and innovative manner. The text is further enhanced by a comprehensive guide to additional reading. Original, easily understood combination of visual and written information.

Fundamentals of Operating Department Practice seeks to embrace the knowledge needed for the generic theatre worker, be they nurse or anaesthetic assistant, as envisaged in the Bevan Report.

It both defines the level of knowledge required for the ODP Level III qualification and covers the practical aspects of operating department practice, wherever relevant. The book also serves as a comprehensive reference to the principles and practice of modern operating department practice and is essential reading for anyone involved in care of the patient in the operating department environment, both in training and in practice.

"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

This key resource aims to provide a concise but clear and comprehensive account of the principles and current practices of sterilization, disinfection and infection control. Sterilization: Included in the third edition are the low temperature sterilization technologies based on gas plasma but also incorporating contributions from vapour phase hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. Decontamination by vapour phase hydrogen peroxide, as used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, is described, as is the application of a self-contained liquid peracetic acid system to the decontamination of flexible endoscopes. Disinfection: Results of recent investigations into the heat resistance of bacterial spores are discussed, along with recognition of the inadequacy of some currently recommended inactivation procedures for the extraordinarily resistant prions. The prevalence of biofilm formation and its importance in protecting entrained microorganisms from the action of chemical disinfectant

Following on in the footsteps of its acclaimed and popular predecessor, this new edition builds on the successful features that engaged readers of the first edition: it explains the principles and practice of epidemiology and serves as a handbook for those who wish to do epidemiology; it uses relevant exercises and examples, taken from real life, to illustrate how to set up a study; it aims to help produce valid results that will satisfy grant bodies, ethical committees, and journal editors; ultimately it bridges the gap between theory and practice. This edition includes numerous improvements and several new chapters which will further enhance its appeal.
