Printed wrappers, small 4to, 21 cm, xii, 139, [5] pp. From the introduction : "The idea for this Handbook grew from the consideration that, out of all the multitude of guides and bibliographies related to institutions, there is none particularly dealing with English for the general reader and the generally interested person - En…glish literature, English language, individual authors and the literary life in this country. The English Association is one of the oldest societies of this kind, founded in 1906, existing to further interest in all aspects of English studies, whether scholastic, academic, or private and simply concerned for the subject (would amateur be still a possibly good word?) . A section has been added on the collections of societies and on specialist libraries. It is obvious that a curtain must be drawn between our modest interest in English studies and the collections relating to English authors and the great public and private libraries of the country holding general collections." Contents: Section I Societies: General Societies; Individual Authors and Literary Figures; Local Groups; Special Fields; Writers' Associations; Section II Libraries and Collections: Public Libraries; Academic Libraries; Specialist and Notable Libraries; Supplement: Some Useful Groups and Associations. Booklabel of the bibliophile A R A Hobson on front inside wrapper, wrappers slightly faded around spine, otherwise Good.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Biofilms are implicated in many common medical problems including urinary tract infections, catheter infections, middle-ear infections, dental plaque, gingivitis, and some less common but more lethal processes such as endocarditis and infections in cysti…c fibrosis. However, the true importance of biofilms in the overall process of disease pathogenesis has only recently been recognized. Bacterial biofilms are one of the fundamental reasons for incipient wound healing failure in that they may impair natural cutaneous wound healing and reduce topical antimicrobial efficiency in infected skin wounds. Their existence explains many of the enigmas of microbial infection and a better grasp of the process may well serve to establish a different approach to infection control and management. Biofilms and their associated complications have been found to be involved in up to 80% of all infections. A large number of studies targeted at the bacterial biofilms have been conducted, and many of them are referred to in this book, which is the first of its kind. These clinical observations emphasize the importance of biofilm formation to both superficial and systemic infections, and the inability of current antimicrobial therapies to 'cure' the resulting diseases even when the in vitro tests suggest that they should be fully effective.In veterinary medicine the concept of biofilms and their role in the pathogenesis of disease has lagged seriously behind that in human medicine. This is all the more extraordinary when one considers that much of the research has been carried out using veterinary species in experimental situations. The clinical features of biofilms in human medicine is certainly mimicked in the veterinary species but there is an inherent and highly regrettable indifference to the failure of antimicrobial therapy in many veterinary disease situations, and this is probably at its most retrograde in veterinary wound management. Biofilms and Veterinary Medicine is specifically focused on discussing the concerns of biofilms to health and disease in animals and provides a definitive text for veterinary practitioners, medical and veterinary students, and researchers.
