Download Biomedical Engineering in Gastrointestinal Surgery Ebook PDF

Biomedical Engineering in Gastrointestinal Surgery is a combination of engineering and surgical experience on the role of engineering in gastrointestinal surgery. There is currently no other book that combines engineering and clinical issues in this field, while engineering is becoming more and more important in surgery. This book is written to a high technical level, but also contains clear explanations of clinical conditions and clinical needs for engineers and students. Chapters covering anatomy and physiology are comprehensive and easy to understand for non-surgeons, while technologies are put into the context of surgical disease and anatomy for engineers. The authors are the two most senior members of the Institute for Minimally Invasive Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Interventions (MITI), which is pioneering this kind of collaboration between engineers and clinicians in minimally invasive surgery. MITI is an interdisciplinary platform for collaborative work of surgeons, gastroenterologists, biomedical engineers and industrial companies with mechanical and electronic workshops, dry laboratories and comprehensive facilities for animal studies as well as a fully integrated clinical "OR of the future". Written by the head of the Institute of Minimally Invasive Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Intervention (TUM MITI) which focusses on interdisciplinary cooperation in visceral medicine Provides medical and anatomical knowledge for engineers and puts technology in the context of surgical disease and anatomy Helps clinicians understand the technology, and use it safely and efficiently

Introduction and guidebook to those pioneers, most of them surgeons, who attempted to help their patients by extending the boundaries of their own knowledge and experience. Before Pasteur and Lister, surgery from the oesophagus to the anal canal was extremely dangerous due to ignorance of the causes of infection. Until the advent of anesthesia in 1846 such surgery was limited to the superficial, for example, drainage of abscesses, the redution of hernias and, sometimes, their repair. Contemporary surgery is the product of the insights and accomplishments of our historical mentors of the subsequent 150 years.

This volume presents the processing of the 15th ICMBE held from 4th to 7th December 2013, Singapore. Biomedical engineering is applied in most aspects of our healthcare ecosystem. From electronic health records to diagnostic tools to therapeutic, rehabilitative and regenerative treatments, the work of biomedical engineers is evident. Biomedical engineers work at the intersection of engineering, life sciences and healthcare. The engineers would use principles from applied science including mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineering together with physical sciences including physics, chemistry and mathematics to apply them to biology and medicine. Applying such concepts to the human body is very much the same concepts that go into building and programming a machine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare. With this understanding, the conference proceedings offer a single platform for individuals and organizations working in the biomedical engineering related field to gather and network with each other in so doing create the catalyst for future development of biomedical engineering in Asia.

The introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the early 1980s revolutionized the surgical treatment of sinonasal disorders. This procedure also produced unexpected surgical complications. The surgical creation of drainage sites in the paranasal sinuses brings a concomitant risk of injuries to the vital surrounding structures of the skull base, the brain, and the orbit. The development of computer-aided navigation systems has added another helpful tool to the operating surgeon's armamentarium. This issue is devoted to image-guided tools, techniques, and outcomes of the guided surgery.

Provides comprehensive coverage of both diagnostic and therapeutic vascular surgery methods. The textual material is organized into six sections, covering molecular biology, radiologic techniques, noninvasive tests, intravascular devices, interventional technology, and thrombolytic therapy. A team of 105 experts contributed to this volume.
