An Introduction to Microcirculation
An Introduction to Microcirculation is written in response to the need for a book containing the most basic information about microcirculation. The book aims to consolidate information gained from the numerous vascular beds that have been used for in vivo microscopic observations, to note the similarities and differences in architecture and function, to reveal the origin of certain terms and concepts, and to discuss hemodynamics of the micro vessels. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 covers a historical introduction to the study; general anatomical comparisons; the microvasculature of specific organs and tissues; and methods of preparation of tissues for microscopic observation. Part 2 discusses factors that are involved in this process and the exchange in the microcirculation. Part 3 explores the hemodynamics in the microcirculation and quantitative techniques for measurement of velocity and blood pressure. The text is for medical students, graduate students, clinicians, and young investigators who wish to have a greater knowledge on microcirculation and the concepts behind it.
Microcirculation
The recogmuon recogmtIon of the microcirculation as an ideal interdisciplinary meeting place for the life sciences is really a postwar phenomenon. The European and the American Societies more than any other organizations launched the idea, and the success of the European Society's International Meetings gave impetus to a growth of interest from a handful of specialists to the wide interdisciplinary study which microcirculation now represents. The meeting held in Canada in June 1975 was, however, the first truly international meeting devoted to the microcirculation. It, too, was a success from every point of view, and the exchange of knowledge and new ideas was rewarding. It is our present ho...
American Learned Men and Women with Czechoslovak Roots
Apart from a few articles, no comprehensive study has been written about the learned men and women in America with Czechoslovak roots. That’s what this compendium is all about, with the focus on immigration from the period of mass migration and beyond, irrespective whether they were born in their European ancestral homes or whether they have descended from them. Czech and Slovak immigrants, including Bohemian Jews, have brought to the New World their talents, their ingenuity, their technical skills, their scientific knowhow, and their humanistic and spiritual upbringing, reflecting upon the richness of their culture and traditions, developed throughout centuries in their ancestral home. Th...
Physiology and Electrochemistry of Nerve Fibers
Physiology and Electrochemistry of Nerve Fibers explores the properties of nerve fibers, including morphology, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. The book also makes an effort to trace the origins of the concepts that are important in studying the physiology of the nerve fibers. The text covers the early studies of electrochemistry; the different theories regarding nerve excitation; the conduction of nerve impulses along different nerve fibers; and the behavior of impulses in myelinated nerve fibers and its electrical excitation. The book also discusses the emergence, morphology, and biochemistry of the squid giant axon, as well as further studies about it; macromolecular transitions; the physiochemical approach and model; and the electrochemical considerations of the classical membrane theory. The monograph is intended for doctors specializing in neurology, psychologists, and psychiatrists who wish to know more about nerve fibers, their structure, chemical properties, functions, and the theories behind it, as well as its transmission of electrical impulses.
Bombshell Plus
Bombshell Plus is a mix of political insights and whimsy, with Ed Kurtz's usual unique, New Jersey-born look on the world. His direct interaction with friends and relatives on the 9/11 tragedy has given him a personal connection to the disaster. You will find everything from commentary on the election process, to ostriches (as it relates to politicians sticking their heads in the sand), to personal reflections on life in the 21st century.
New Concepts in Cerebral Ischemia
Approximately half a million Americans suffer brain ischemic episodes every year. These brain strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States and the number-one cause of permanent disability. Over the past decade, we have made extensive attempts to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie stroke-induced neuronal injury. Providing a detailed description of the techniques and theories employed in both basic and clinical research, New Concepts in Cerebral Ischemia delineates the mechanisms underlying neuronal damage induced by ischemia. The book covers methods to elucidate the pathogenesis of ischemia, technologies used in the design of specific strategies to protect neurons from further injury, and new approaches to treat patients with acute ischemic episodes. It includes methods and therapeutic approaches for neuronal protection against acute and chronic ischemic episodes and describes new animal models for ischemia research including the application of transgenic animals.
Encyclopedia of Bohemian and Czech-American Biography
As the Czech ambassador to the United States, H. E. Petr Gandalovic noted in his foreword to this book that Mla Rechcgl has written a monumental work representing a culmination of his life achievement as a historian of Czech America. The Encyclopedia of Bohemian and Czech American Biography is a unique and unparalleled publication. The enormity of this undertaking is reflected in the fact that it covers a universe, starting a few decades after the discovery of the New World, through the escapades and significant contributions of Bohemian Jesuits and Moravian brethren in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the mass migration of the Czechs after the revolutionary year of 1848, and up to ...
Optical Microendoscopy for Imaging Cells Lying Deep Within Live Tissue
Optical microendoscopy is an emerging modality for imaging in live subjects. Using gradient refractive index (GRIN) microlenses, microendoscopy enables subcellular-resolution imaging in deep tissues that are inaccessible by traditional imaging techniques. We present a platform of methods and technologies that build upon GRIN microendoscopy: 1) miniaturized microscopes for imaging in awake, behaving animals, 2) methods for imaging contractile dynamics in the muscles of animal and human subjects, 3) chronic brain preparations that allow for longitudinal examinations of subcellular neuronal features and disease progression, and 4) novel microendoscope probes whose imaging capabilities approach that of standard water-immersion microscope objectives. When combined with the broad sets of available fluorescent reporters, and minimally invasive surgical preparations, the work described in this dissertation enables sophisticated experimental designs for probing how cellular char- acteristics may underlie or explain behavior, in models of both healthy and diseased states.
