Covering all aspects of oxygen delivery to tissue, including blood flow and its regulation as well as oxygen metabolism, this book is multidisciplinary and designed to bring together experts and students from a range of research fields including biochemical engineering, physiology, microcirculation, and hematology.

This book contains most of the scientific contributions during the 48th annual conference of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT), which was held electronically in July 2021. It includes multidisciplinary contributions from scientists (physicists, biologists and chemists), engineers, clinicians and mathematicians and covers covers all aspects of oxygen transport from air to the cells, organs and organisms; instrumentation and methods to sense oxygen and clinical evidence.

This book presents cutting-edge papers and perspectives on the transport of oxygen to tissues by scientists in a multitude of disciplines such as biochemistry, engineering, mathematics, medicine, physics, physiology, veterinary and complementary medicine. The book is composed of the following 6 parts: Brain Oxygenation and Function, Tumor Oxygenation and Metabolism, Muscle Oxygenation and Sports Medicine, Cell Metabolism and Tissue Oxygenation, Methodology of O2 Measurements, and Special Topics. The articles in this book have been presented at the 49th annual meeting of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT 2022). Academics, clinical and industry researchers, engineers, as well as graduate students who are interested in oxygen transport to tissue will find this book a great reference and a useful learning resource.

Based on the 38th annual conference of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT), held in Ascona, Switzerland in July 2010, this volume covers all aspects of oxygen transport from air to the cells, as well as looking at organs and organism, instrumentation, and methods to sense oxygen and clinical evidence.

Leben ist ohne den Begriff der Zeit undenkbar; taglich erfahren wir sie durch den Wechsel von Licht und Dunkelheit oder von Aktivitat und Ruhe. Die Buchbeitrage befassen sich in einer interdisziplinaren Annaherung mit der Zeitordnung, der das Leben unterworfen ist, namlich der Chronobiologie. Der Band bietet Einblicke in die Auseinandersetzung mit der Chronobiologie aus Sicht der Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin, der Philosophie, der Anthroposophischen Medizin, der Homoeopathie, der Lichttherapie und weiteren Forschungsgebieten. Die Beitrage stammen aus der im Herbstsemester 2009 an der Universitat Bern durchgefuhrten interdisziplinaren Vortragsreihe.
