"Cancer can affect people of all ages, and approximately one in three people are estimated to be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Extensive research is being undertaken by many different institutions to explore potential new therapeutics, and biomaterials technology is now being developed to target, treat and prevent cancer. This unique book discusses the role and potential of biomaterials in treating this prevalent disease.The first part of the book discusses the fundamentals of biomaterials for cancer therapeutics. Chapters in part two discuss synthetic vaccines, proteins and polymers for cancer therapeutics. Part three focusses on theranosis and drug delivery systems, whilst the final set of chapters look at biomaterial therapies and cancer cell interaction.This extensive book provides a complete overview of the latest research into the potential of biomaterials for the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of cancer. Biomaterials for cancer therapeutics is an essential text for academics, scientists and researchers within the biomedical industry, and will also be of interest to clinicians with a research interest in cancer therapies and biomaterials."

"Primary liver cancer : surveillance, diagnosis and treatment focuses on the many therapies rapidly evolving to assist with controlling hepatocellular carcinoma as well as emerging technologies to assist in early diagnosis as well as prevention. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date information for diagnosis, treatment, surveillance, epidemiology, staging, recurrence and prevention. "

"The volume provides an introduction to the concept of active surveillance in oncology in general and prostate cancer specifically. The primary focus is to provide a comprehensive guide to the management of patients on surveillance. The volume covers the many complexities and nuances to this approach including, patient selection, risk assessment, how to overcome 'cancer hysteria' when counseling patients, identifying appropriate triggers for intervention, use of PSA kinetics and MR imaging information, technique and frequency of biopsies, secondary prevention interventions, and the relative roles of surveillance and focal therapy."

"ABSTRAKDeteksi dini kanker serviks merupakan salah satu upaya dalam menurunkan prevalensi kasus baru dan kematian karena kanker serviks yang setiap tahunnya terus meningkat. Namun, di Negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, partisipasi perempuan dalam menggunakan layanan deteksi dini kanker serviks masih sangat rendah.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi hubungan antara faktor-faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi perilaku pemeriksaan deteksi dini kanker serviks metode IVA. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross sectional dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 176 perempuan usia 20-60 tahun yang bertempat tinggal di Kelurahan Srensgseng Sawah Jakarta Selatan.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik antara pengetahuan (p = 0,000), sikap (p=0,026), hambatan (p=0,000) dengan perilaku pemeriksaan deteksi dini kanker serviks metode IVA. Untuk meningkatkan penggunaan layanan deteksi dini kanker serviks, dibutuhkan pendidikan kesehatan dan kebijakan yang mendorong serta menjamin keterjangkauan penggunaan layanan deteksi dini kanker serviks bagi seluruh perempuan di Indonesia.

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer screening is one way to reduce the prevalence of new cases and deaths caused by cervical cancer which every year increasing. However, in developing countries such as Indonesia, participation womens to uptake cervical cancer screening services is still very low.

The purpose of this study is to identify correlation between the factors related to the behavior of cervical cancer screening with VIA. This study used cross sectional method with 176 womans aged 20-60 years as respondent who lived in Kelurahan Srengeng Sawah South Jakarta.

The results of this study showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0,000), attitude (p=0,026), barriers (p=0,000) with behavior of cervical cancer screening by IVA method. To increase uptake of cervical cancer screening service needs health education and policies that encourage and ensure accesibility cervical cancer screening for all Indonesian women."

"A significant proportion of modern medical technology has been developed through biomimetics, which is biologically inspired by studying pre-existing functioning systems in nature. Typical biomimetically inspired biomaterials include nano-biomaterials, smart biomaterials, hybrid biomaterials, nano-biocomposites, hierarchically porous biomaterials and tissue scaffolds. This important book summarises key research in this important field.The book is divided into two parts, part one is devoted to the biomimetics of biomaterials themselves while part two provides overviews and case studies of tissue engineering applications from a biomimetics' perspective. The book has a strong focus on cutting edge biomimetically inspired biomaterials including chitin, hydrogels, calcium phosphates, biopolymers and anti-thrombotic coatings. Since many scaffolds for skin tissue engineering are biomimetically inspired, the book also has a strong focus on the biomimetics of tissue engineering in the repair of bone, skin, cartilage, soft tissue and specific organs.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Biomimetic biomaterials is a standard reference for both the biomaterials research community and clinicians involved in such areas as bone regeneration, skin tissue and wound repair."

"This book reviews the biomaterials (metallic, non-metallic and bone allografts) used for orthopaedic applications and explains both the engineering and clinical aspects of their use and performance within the human body."

"One of the key challenges current biomaterials researchers face is identifying which of the dizzying number of highly specialized characterization tools can be gainfully applied to different materials and biomedical devices. Since this diverse marketplace of tools and techniques can be used for numerous applications, choosing the proper characterization tool is highly important, saving both time and resources.Characterization of biomaterials is a detailed and multidisciplinary discussion of the physical, chemical, mechanical, surface, in vitro and in vivo characterization tools and techniques of increasing importance to fundamental biomaterials research.Characterization of biomaterials will serve as a comprehensive resource for biomaterials researchers requiring detailed information on physical, chemical, mechanical, surface, and in vitro or in vivo characterization. The book is designed for materials scientists, bioengineers, biologists, clinicians and biomedical device researchers seeking input on planning on how to test their novel materials, structures or biomedical devices to a specific application. Chapters are developed considering the need for industrial researchers as well as academics."
