Book Description
This journey to the beginnings of the physician's art brings to life the civilizations of the ancient world--Egypt of the Pharaohs, Greece at the time of Hippocrates, Rome under the Caesars, the India of Ashoka, and China as Mencius knew it. Probing the documents and artifacts of the ancient world with a scientist's mind and a detective's eye, Guido Majno pieces together the difficulties people faced in the effort to survive their injuries, as well as the odd, chilling, or inspiring ways in which they rose to the challenge. In asking whether the early healers might have benefited their patients, or only hastened their trip to the grave, Dr. Majno uncovered surprising answers by testing ancient prescriptions in a modern laboratory. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, many in full color, and climaxing ten years of work, The Healing Hand is a spectacular recreation of man's attempts to conquer pain and disease.

Book Description
Wound Healing Biomaterials: Volume One, Therapies and Regeneration discusses the types of wounds associated with trauma, illness, or surgery that can sometimes be extremely complex and difficult to heal. Consequently, there is a prominent drive for scientists and clinicians to find methods to heal these types of wounds, with science increasingly turning towards biomaterials to address these challenges. Much research is now concerned with new therapies, regeneration methods, and biomaterials to assist in wound healing and healing response. This book provides readers with a comprehensive review of the fundamentals and advances in the field of wound healing with regard to therapies and tissue regeneration. Chapters in Part One discuss fundamentals and strategies of wound healing, while Part Two reviews gene, stem cell, and drug delivery therapies for wound healing. Final chapters look at tissue regeneration strategies, making this an all-encompassing book on the topic of wound care and biomaterials. - Provides more systematic and comprehensive coverage of specific therapies and biomaterials for wound healing - Highlights research that is concerned with new therapies, regeneration methods, and the use of biomaterials to assist in wound healing and healing response - Presents an organized layout of the material that is carefully arranged with clear titles and comprehensive section headings - Looks at tissue regeneration strategies, making this an all encompassing book on the topic of wound care

Book Description
Wound Healing, Fibrosis and the Myofibroblast: A Historical and Biological Perspective is the fruit of an interdisciplinary and international collaboration involving a historian of medicine (Dr. Zampieri), a physician (Dr. Coen), and a researcher (Prof. Gabbiani, world-renowned for his discovery of the myofibroblast). A book aims to draw a concise, yet complete, description of the conceptual evolution of wound healing, fibrosis and fibrosis-related pathologies from antiquity to current time, as well as of the role of the myofibroblast, the key cell type essential for tissue repair and fibrosis (from its identification in 1971 throughout its 50-years-old history). By viewing this complex and centuries-long history from different perspectives, the Authors aim to draw an exhaustive overview, with the hope of inspiring new fruitful basic and clinical research. Interdisciplinary collaboration: Complementary views from a medical historian, a researcher and a clinician A concise but detailed history of fibrosis, readers can discover the major scientific breakthroughs along this history Includes the pathophysiology of various Fibrotic Diseases Explore the role of Myofibroblast in Fibrosis Development
