Recent advances in diagnostic technology, including imaging, gene
analysis and histopathology, form one cornerstone of this update
for health care specialists treating patients with musculoskeletal
cancer. The other cornerstone consists of chemotherapy and
radiotherapy, as well as highlights in surgical treatment and
rehabilitation. The complete structure conveys a systematic
understanding of musculoskeletal oncology, with sections on limb
saving procedures, reconstruction methods of bone and soft tissues,
tumor prosthesis and spinal reconstruction in metastatic bone
tumors. All the information is placed under the encompassing goal
of total care for the patient.
"Function dictates structure" is a classic paradigm reaffirmed in
Wolff's law of the skeletal system. A major question being
addressed by current research in biomechanics is whether this
doctrine also holds true for the cardiovascular system and
connective tissues. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to this
question has produced new insights into the sensors, signals, and
activators that produce remodeling and functional adaptation in
cardiac muscle, blood vessels, and bone, including important new
findings on the response of vascular endothelial cells to shear
stress. Other work focuses on the extent of remodeling and
adaptation processes in tendons, ligaments, and intervertebral
discs. Together with two companion volumes, "Computational
Biomechanics" and the "Data Book on Mechanical Properties of Living
Cells, Tissues, " "and Organs," this monograph will prove
invaluable to those working in fields ranging from medical science
and clinical medicine to biomedical engineering and applied
mechanics.
Lumbar spine or back pain is one of the most important problems in
orthopedics and neurosurgery today. Two key ways of treating this
malady, lumbar fusion and stabilization, are critically discussed
in the forty-three papers in this volume. They represent the best
of the contributions to the 5th ICLFS, carefully selected and
edited to give a good overview of recent knowledge and the state of
the art.
