This is an expanded and updated version of the 1978 compilation, which defines and supplies a condensed characterization of the currently established zeolite structure types. New types of microporous solids, such as aluminophosphate molecule sieves based on tetrahedral frameworks, have expanded the field of zeolites and zeolite-like materials. The number of known and topologically distinct tetrahedral networks has risen to 64 and is expected to continue to increase at the rate of at least three per year. The numerous new materials and the advent of modern methods of structure solving, in particular powder techniques including ab initio structure determinations and Rietveld refinements, have made this rapid advance possible.

This collection of 15 contributions from the October 1997 forum is intended to be a source of modern knowledge of cell biology for the medical world. Topics include the mechanism of cell movement and intracellular transport of materials, secretion, synthesis of proteins, and the reactions to the stimuli in the cell. Also discussed are targets of new discoveries in modern cell science such as nerve tissues, endocrine cells, intestinal secretory cells, photoreceptors, perception of hearing, bone cells, and pancreatic islets.

This book contains 27 contributions from a July 1998 meeting, which brought together scientists from such fields as biochemistry, pathology, internal medicine, dermatology, and otology. The section on gene diagnosis covers recent topics concerning epidermolysis bullosa (an inherited blistering skin disease), and hereditary hearing loss. The section on regulation of gene expression focuses on corticortropin-releasing hormone gene and genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes. Topics in the section on gene therapy include the development of novel in vivo gene delivery systems and its application to the treatment of diseases. Five editors are from various departments at the Hirosaki U. School of Medicine in Japan; the other is from Thomas Jefferson U. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

State of the Art Technology in Anesthesia and Intensive Care contains selected papers from the 18th International Symposium on Computing in Anesthesia and Intensive care held in Hamamatsu City, Japan. Four hun dred participants from twenty-two countries focused their interest on promoting patient safety and quality improvement in anesthesia and int ensive care using state of the art technology. The book also introduc es eight new techniques for cardiac output estimation that encompasses almost all techniques available in the world. This is the only book presently available that compiles the most advanced technology in the field of anesthesia and intensive care medicine.

Hardbound. Insulin resistance was recognized as a feature and a pathogenic mechanism in pathological states such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. More recently, however, it has become apparent that an impairment in insulin action is shared by a variety of conditions not necessarily associated with diabetes or obesity. These conditions include essential hypertension, dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, hyperuricemia and many others. Moreover, these conditions tend to cluster with insulin resistance prompting the definition of the "Syndrome of Insulin Resistance." This association has been recently recognized by the WHO as a tentative definition of diagnostic criteria was proposed. This book provides a comprehensive information on the role of insulin resistance as prognostic parameter.  This book collects the contribution of the most eminent experts in the field of genetics, epidemiology, physiopathology, complications and therapy of insulin r

Hardbound. This proceeding of the first Symposium features every aspects of partial left ventriculectomy, including original concept by Batista, theoretical analysis and actual observation using strain gages, pressure-volume relationship and stress-strain relationship. These theoretical backgrounds are followed by clinical experiences by pioneers from Brazil (Batista), United States (Cleveland Clinic, Buffalo General Hospital) and others.  i) Original concept outlined by the pioneer, Randas JV Batista, MD. ii) Basic and clinical research that shed lights into the mechanism of the Batista operation. iii) Clinical experiences by pioneers from Curitiba, Buffalo and Cleveland.  Despite the fact that cardiac transplantation has been established as the last measure to resort, there has been an ever increasing gap between those who need it and those who actually benefit from it. Partial left ventriculectomy has

This publication is the 3rd proceedings of a series of Symposia on Tis sue Engineering for Therapeutic Use. Held on September 1998 in Tokyo, Japan, biologists, material scientists, and clinicians from all over t he world gathered together with one purpose...to review and discuss th e latest developments and approaches related to tissue engineering. Th e Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) who sponsored the meet ing also promoted a special research agenda on "Restoration Medical En gineering Program" and informed participants of the new advances gathe red from the research.

This book, Computer-Aided Diagnosis in Medical Imaging, presents paper's from the First International Workshop on Computer-Aided Diagnosis he ld on September, 1998 at the University of Chicago Downtown Center. Th e meeting provided a forum for leading researchers and practitioners i n this rapidly expanding field, encompassing automated image analysis, quantitation of image information, 2D and 3D multimodality image inte gration, advanced image processing and artificial neural network appli cation. Advances have been made in the computerized analysis of digita l chest images, especially the detection of pulmonary nodules, using's uch techniques as artificial neural networks, temporal subtraction, an d dual-energy imaging. Various observer performance studies have docum ented the benefit of radiologists using a computer aid in their interp retation process. Similar strides have been made with breast imaging w ith the aims of increased patient management.
