In this issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery, guest editor Dr. Neil
Tanna brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Breast
Reconstruction. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as
modern approaches to oncoplastic surgical treatment; modern
approaches to implant-based breast reconstruction; pre-pectoral
breast reconstruction; breast implant-associated anaplastic large
cell lymphoma; operative efficiency; and more. Contains 18
relevant, practice-oriented topics including preoperative
assessment of the breast reconstruction patient; revision of
implant-based breast reconstruction; modern approaches to abdominal
flap-based breast reconstruction; the hybrid breast reconstruction;
robotic breast surgery and robotic breast reconstruction; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on breast reconstruction,
offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the
latest information on this timely, focused topic under the
leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize
and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create
clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
Flat-Panel Displays and CRTs, a review of electronic information
display devices, is the first sys tematic and comprehensive
coverage of the subject. It is intended to distill our wealth of
knowledge of flat-panel displays and CRTs from their beginnings to
the present state of the art. Historical perspective, theory of
operation, and specific applications are all thoroughly covered.
The field of display engineering is a multidisciplined technical
pursuit with the result that its individual disciplines suffer from
a lack of communications and limited perspective. Many previ ously
developed standards for, and general understanding of, one
technology are often inappro priate for another. Care has been
taken here to document the old, incorporate the new, and emphasize
commonalities. Criteria for performance have been standardized to
enable an expert in one display technology, such as liquid
crystals, to compare his device performance with that offered by
another technology, such as electroluminescence. This book has been
written with a second purpose in mind, to wit, to be the vehicle by
means of which a new scientist or engineer can be introduced into
the display society. It is organized to be tutorial for use in
instructional situations. The first chapters begin with first
principles and defini tions; the middle chapters set out
requirements and criteria; and the last chapters give a complete
description of each major technology."
The lack of adherence to medication is a growing public health
problem worldwide and is costing many patients their good health
and healthcare systems billions of dollars. A new volume in the
Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Analytical
Chemistry for Assessing Medication Adherence introduces the concept
of medication adherence/compliance and reports international
perspectives on medication adherence while highlighting its
importance. It then describes the opportunities for analytical
chemistry to assess medication adherence and thereby provide an
evidence base for clinicians to improve patient health outcomes.
The authors highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each of the
analytical techniques cited in addition to categorizing the
findings in terms of the biological samples used to assess
adherence and identifying methods to extract biological samples
prior to analysis. The final chapter provides the authors'
perspective in this area, emphasising the importance of medication
optimization for individual patients. The Emerging Issues in
Analytical Chemistry series is published in partnership with RTI
International and edited by Brian F. Thomas. Please be sure to
