Opis

Thrombotic and thromboembolic disorders are now more than ever the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, having become common medico-social problems with economic consequences in industrialized and developing countries alike. Particularly acute is thrombosis complicating lifestyle-related diseases such as malignancies and arteriosclerosis resulting from diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, and related conditions. Expanding knowledge of molecular biology and genetics, however, is providing new possibilities in the regeneration and development of tissues, organs, and embryos. As well, bio-regulatory mechanisms in viable tissues are being developed to counter intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli in addition to cardiovascular diseases. This important book covers not only updated molecular biology and genetics but also the clinical implications of a better understanding of pathophysiology and the novel exploitation of diagnostic methodologies, with therapeutic applications. Also included are methods for prevention in thrombosis?hemostasis and atherosclerosis.

Recenzje

Aus den Rezensionen: "Das Werk ... ist gekennzeichnet von großer fachlicher Kompetenz und wissenschaftlicher Erfahrung der Autoren und Herausgeber. Die Hämostaseologie wird aufgrund neuester Erfahrungen modern und spannend dargestellt. ... Die fachliche Kompetenz der Autoren durchzieht sämtliche Texte dieses herausragenden Werkes über Thrombose und Hämostase. Wegen seiner Aktualität sollte es in keiner Bibliothek eines interessierten Hämostaseologen fehlen. Wir wünschen dem Werk eine weite Verbreitung in allen Fachkreisen der Hämostaseologie." (H. D. Bruhn, in: Hämastaseologie, January/2010, Issue 1, S. 42)
