There are several well-known books on the market that cover biomaterials in a general way, but none adequately address, in particular, the future and potential for actual uses of emerging nanotechnology in this burgeoning field. Biomaterials: A Nano Approach is written from a multi-disciplinary point of view that integrates aspects of materials science and engineering, nanotechnology, bioengineering, and biosciences. It fills a void in the literature by providing a comprehensive discussion of biomaterials and scientifically plausible extrapolation of likely occurrences in which nanotechnology could play a significant role. The authors introduce and examine basic concepts, processing methodologies, and techniques involved in the preparation and characterization of nanobiomaterials that are specific to biomedical applications. Spanning the historical development of biomaterials and presenting current advances in the field, the text describes how basic concepts in nanotechnology are applied to the processing of novel nanobiomaterials, including nanostructured metals and alloys. With its illustrative examples and presentation of applications, this text offers a solid framework for understanding present and future trends of biomaterials in human health care systems.

Ergonomics for Rehabilitation Professionals Edited by
Shrawan Kumar University of North Texas, Fort Worth, USA
Despite the distinct differences between the disciplines of ergonomics and rehabilitation, they involve the same issues, although at different ends of the spectrum. Ergonomics for Rehabilitation Professionals explores their philosophies and goals and their parallel, divergent, and complementary aspects. It traces the origin of each field and examines the role of ergonomics in rehabilitation.
Features: • Discusses a new approach to rehabilitation that consciously integrates ergonomics with rehabilitation • Provides insight into localized muscle fatigue and its consequences on overall performance • Reviews the biomechanics of upper extremities, shoulder and neck, and lower back • Examines how to incorporate the effects of daily activities and their biomechanical consequences into the design of ergonomic interventions • Advocates universal design and describes how these concepts can be integrated into a practical solution • Delineates the role of Physical Demand Analysis in the context of rehabilitation
• Enables pharmaceutical companies to implement a cleaning validation program on-site without the help of external consultants • Provides a ready-to-use formula to develop a master plan, standard operating procedure, and validation protocols • Includes photographs of sampling points to enhance clarity • Covers a wide range of active ingredients with information on their level of solubility in water, potency, and toxicity • Allows validation professionals to create a worse-case matrix for different equipment • Contains a chapter on the regulatory guidelines from the FDA, HPFBI, WHO, and EMEA
Addressing theoretical underpinnings with scientific rigor, the book covers a broad range of topics, always emphasizing design in rehabilitation. This selection of topics from two vast and seemingly diverse disciplines provides the tools for setting realistic goals and developing the strategies to achieve them.
