Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Diabetes Mellitus, a syndrome of disordered metabolism, characterised by abnormal elevation in blood glucose level, has become a life-threatening condition for many people. Current means of therapy for Diabetes Mellitus do not mimic the normal physiological pattern of insulin release. Oral delivery is the preferred route of administration due to its non-invasive nature. Oral delivery of insulin presents an overview of Diabetes Mellitus, and discusses the strategies and techniques adopted for oral delivery of insulin. This title begins with an introductory chapter on symptoms, complications and therapy for Diabetes Mellitus. Subsequent chapters cover the various routes for administering insulin; the challenges and strategies of oral delivery; experimental techniques in the development of an oral insulin carrier; lipids; inorganic nanoparticles and polymers in oral insulin delivery; and a summary and presentation of future perspectives on oral delivery of insulin. - Presents an overview of Diabetes Mellitus - Includes a discussion of various strategies and techniques adopted for oral delivery of insulin - Presents an update of research in the field

Valuing Tropical Forests

Methodology and Case Study of Madagascar

By: Randall A. Kramer,Narendra P. Sharma,Mohan Munasinghe

The loss of large areas of tropical forests has become a major concern of the world community. Although there are many causes of tropical deforestation and forest degradation, an important cause appears to be an undervaluation of forests by markets and governments. One reason for this undervaluation is that many forest products, such as food and medicinal products, are traded in informal markets for which there are little data. Another reason is that many services provided by forests, such as carbon storage, biodiversity protection, recreation, and watershed protection, are not traded in markets; hence, their economic values are often ignored. Even where environmental values are recognized, they may not be measured or used to promote efficient resource management. This volume examines some causes of tropical deforestation and explores forest valuation issues in context of a protected area project. The study sets out the context of tropical deforestation and loss of biodiversity and provides a framework for examining the economic value of forests. It also presents a detailed case study of Madagascar that illustrates the practical application of the techniques of analysis to the valuation of forests." -- Website.

Clinical Focus Series: Lesions of Sarcoidosis

A Problem Solving Approach

By: Om P Sharma,Violeta Mihailovic-Vucinic

Sarcoidosis is a rare condition that causes small patches of red and swollen tissue, called granulomas, to develop in the organs of the body. It most often affects the lungs and skin. Typical symptoms include tender, red bumps on the skin, shortness of breath and a persistent cough. There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but the condition often improves without treatment within a few months or years. Sarcoidosis is estimated to affect about 1 in every 10,000 people in the UK (NHS Choices). Part of the Clinical Focus Series, this book provides trainees with an overview of this complex condition. Beginning with an introduction and guidance on recognising pulmonary granulomas, the following chapters provide in depth coverage of numerous common lesions, describing their history, clinical features, differential diagnosis and treatment. Presented in an easy to read format, this useful reference includes clinical photographs, CT scans and X-rays, histological pictures and tables to enhance learning.

Characterization of Biomaterials

Chapter 5.1. In Vitro Characterization of Cell–Biomaterials Interactions

By: Y.M. Thasneem,Chandra P. Sharma

The development of biomaterials as a powerful regulator of the cellular microenvironment for application in drug discovery/delivery, tissue engineering, and implant biology, requires a better understanding of cell-surface interactions at macro, micro, and nanometre levels. Cell–substrate interactions are multifaceted, involving the integration of various physical and biochemical signals. The interactions among these micro-environmental factors cannot be facilely elucidated and quantified by conventional experimentations, and this necessitates multifactorial strategies. A major task in the biomaterials field would be to develop advanced tools that can offer greater insight into characterizing the cellular behavior and interactions on the material interface. Obtaining this information is crucial in taking biomaterial science to new realms for biomedical applications. The contribution of molecular techniques to elucidate the cell–biomaterial interactions is indispensable on the time-course and level of expression of particular genes that determine cellular phenotype. The amalgamation of multiple disciplines has already produced many interesting techniques and approaches for the cell–biomaterial characterization, of which we have tried to provide a comprehensive and integrated description. The main focus of this book chapter is to explore the toolbox contents available in elucidating the cell–biomaterial interactions. We brief about the topographical, mechanical and biochemical changes faced by a cell upon the rendezvous of any surface in particular with the cell–biomaterial interface. The material characteristics playing cards in directing cellular behavior are straightened out. We also discuss the current knowledge of how a cell can interact with a substrate at the nanoscale and the effect of size, morphology, organization and separation of nanofeatures on cell response.

Advances in Wound Healing Materials

Science and Skin Engineering

By: Willi Paul,Chandra P. Sharma

Wound-healing and wound-care technologies are an ever-expanding field due to the advancements in materials science, biomedicine and tissue engineering. In 2011, the global wound-care market generated 6,500 million USD with an annual growth rate of 7.5%. The global advanced wound-care products market share in 2023 is predicted to be approximately 16,300 million USD. This book discusses the evolution of wound-care devices and protocols over the years, in addition to the different technologies being used in present-day wound-care treatment. New strategies involving engineered tissues and drug-delivery systems to mimic the natural wound healing environment are also discussed. The use of cytokine growth factors has been shown to enhance chronic wound healing, particularly for burn wounds. However, the prevention of scarring, keloid formation or contractures, and a cosmetically acceptable healing is a challenge even now. Skin tissue engineering was the first successfully clinically applied product in the field of regenerative medicine. Bioengineered skin seeded with fibroblast and keratinocyte cells is a potential permanent solution that does not require skin grafting and could also be used as a temporary cover for burns prior to grafting. Cell attachment, proliferation and tissue formation on a three-dimensional porous scaffold can be engineered for specific applications. These cell-based skin substitutes have a significant wound-healing and scar-reducing effect on patients. A gene-activated dermal equivalent is another emerging approach for the healing of full-thickness incision wounds which results in good remodelling of the skin. This book also describes the latest developments in the field of wound-healing science and research. The target audiences are wound-care professionals, researchers working on wound-healing technology and skin tissue engineering, as well as graduate students and industry personnel that need to understand the aspects of wound healing and the technological requirements to achieve successful commercialisation.

Update on Chitosan

A Non-Viral Gene Delivery Vector

By: Viola B. Morris,Chandra P. Sharma

Among the various natural polymer-based gene delivery vectors, chitosan is the most prominent. As a biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic and easily modifiable material, chitosan has been widely researched for a variety of biomedical applications such as wound healing, drug/gene delivery systems, implant coatings and tissue engineering/regeneration. Chitosan was first described as a delivery system for plasmids by Mumper's group in 1995. The role of chitosan in gene delivery was supported by its ability to protonate in acidic conditions and to form complexes with anionic DNA by electrostatic interactions. The biodegradable cationic polymer chitosan is capable of forming small and stable toroidal complexes with plasmid DNA and provide protection against DNase that is comparable to PEI. The objective of this book is to integrate the concepts related to chitosan and its derivative-based drug/gene delivery carriers. For example, the success of the gene delivery system mainly depends upon the uptake by the cells, unpacking behaviour of pDNA/siRNA from the vector and its intracellular trafficking. Such concepts are introduced and discussed, in addition to the various applications of chitosan as a drug delivery system in wound healing, tissue engineering and in gene delivery. This book is an excellent resource for the academic faculty, graduate students and professionals interested in chitosan-based drug/gene technologies.
