Connective Tissue in Health and Disease

Fülszöveg

CONNECTIVE TISSUE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE Edited by G. Asboe-Hansen, M.D. Director of the Connective Tissue Research Laboratory, University Institute of Medical Anatomy, Copenhagen This is a Work of utmost importance to the medical world. Twenty-three prominent and well-known contributors from different parts of the world present the current status and significance of connective tissue science. To-day it is an urgent necessity to everyone, who has to treat patients, to be familiar with connective tissue physiology and pathophysiology. Recent advances within morphology, chemistry and physiology of the ubiquitous connective tissues have brought revolutionizing aspects into pathology, endocrinology as well as generál medicine and surgery. New light has been thrown on the processes of wound and fracture healing, on infection, cancer growth and invasion, as well as arteriosclerosis and aging. Systemic connective dssue diseases play a dominant role in modern dermatology, rheumatology and... Tovább

Twenty-three prominent and well-known contributors from different parts of the world present the current status and significance of connective tissue science. To-day it is an urgent necessity to everyone, who has to treat patients, to be familiar with connective tissue physiology and pathophysiology. Recent advances within morphology, chemistry and physiology of the ubiquitous connective tissues have brought revolutionizing aspects into pathology, endocrinology as well as generál medicine and surgery. New light has been thrown on the processes of wound and fracture healing, on infection, cancer growth and invasion, as well as arteriosclerosis and aging. Systemic connective dssue diseases play a dominant role in modern dermatology, rheumatology and ophthalmology. The connective tissue has demanded increasing interest and attention during the last decade. This work is a reaction to the generál claim for competent information. The names of the contributors are sufficient presentation and satisfactory guarantee for the value and pertinence of the present piece of literature. The group of contributors includes the pioneers of modern connective tissue research. The content is accessible to all members of the medical profession with the most varied qualifications and interests. Vissza
