Animal Models in Orthopaedic Research is a reference book of the major animal models used in the study of orthopaedic conditions and in the in vivo study of biomaterials. Use of animal models provides important knowledge about pathological conditions that can eventually lead to t he development of more effective clinical treatment of diseases in bot h humans and animals. Directed primarily toward surgeons, investigator s, research fellows, graduate students, and those working in orthopaed ic or biomaterial research, this book is intended to serve as a basis for a literature search before...

Research on bacterial adhesion and its significance is a major field involving many different aspects of nature and human life, such as marine science, soil and plant ecology, most importantly, the biomedical field. The adhesion ofbacteria to the food industry, and human tissue surfaces and implanted biomaterial surfaces is an important step in the patho- genesis of infection. Handbook 0/ Bacterial Adhesion: Principles, Methods, and Applications is an outgrowth of the editors' own quest for information on laboratory techniques for studying bacte- rial adhesion to biomaterials, bone, and other...
