The use of organoselenium reagents as catalysts is a common thread that runs through the chapters of this book, introducing important aspects of the modern organoselenium chemistry: organocatalysis, green chemistry, bioinspiration, antioxidant activity. The eBook covers the most recent developments in the classical synthetic application of organoselenium reagents such as electrophilic, nucleophilic and free radical reagents. The volume also features a discussion on the synthesis and the synthetic applications of some emerging classes of selenium compounds such as hypervalent selenium species and selenoamides, and also addresses some biological aspects such as the antimicrobial activity of organoselenium derivatives and the biochemistry of selenoproteins. A number of eminent scientists from different research groups were involved in the preparation of the 13 chapters of the book, making Organoselenium Chemistry: Between Synthesis and Biochemistry an excellent reference about selenium chemistry for researchers and graduate students in the field of selenium chemistry.
Preface from the first edition (1996): "The world of modern science is undergoing a number of spectacular events that are redefining our understanding of ourselves. As with any revolution, we should take stock of where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. Our special world of bone biology is participating in and taking advantage of the larger global revolution in modern science... we assembled experts from all over the world and asked them to focus on the current state of knowledge and the prospects for new knowledge in their area of expertise. To this end, Principles of Bone Biology was conceived." - John P. Bilezikian, Lawrence G. Raisz, Gideon A. Rodan Praise for the previo...
This textbook presents the full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders, covering their definitions, epidemiology, physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment. Ranging from fractures, through infections and tumors, to dystrophies, the authors provide an up-to-date overview of the methodologies used in the diagnosis and management of common orthopedic conditions. The content is divided into several sections: disorders are grouped by typology in the opening section, and subsequently grouped anatomically, offering readers a quick and convenient reference guide to fundamental concepts in everyday orthopedic care. Written by an international panel of experts, it offers a valuable asset for students and residents approaching the study of orthopedics, pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine, rheumatology and rehabilitation. It further can be of interest also for practicing orthopedic surgeons, as well as nurses, physical therapists and athletic trainers.
