Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inner ear was previously considered an isolated and inviolate sense organ that is unlikely to be affected by local treatments. However, with the application of vestibulotoxic and immunosuppressive drugs and through experience with cochlear implants our understanding of drug effects upon the inner ear has improved. This has led to the application of new drugs and biological agents to the round window of the middle ear as one potential route to gain access to the inner ear. A better understanding of the permeability of the membrane, the kinetics of drug diffusion within the cochlea and the possible ototoxicity of these drugs has emerged. This special issue explores the strategies being employed in the rapidly expanding new field of Inner Ear Medicine to seek out new treatments for currently untreatable diseases and disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of focal controlled drug delivery has been applied for treating illnesses that are localized to a certain tissue or organ. These delivery systems are applied directly to the diseased site and deliver a desired dose for an extended time period while minimizing systemic distribution of toxic drug. Controlled drug delivery systems have been focused on oral extended release formulations and on systemic delivery of small drugs and peptides. Despite the upsurge of interest in focal targeted drug delivery, there is currently no single reference text on the subject. By comparison, there are numerous authored and edited books on oral, systemic and transdermal drug delivery or books on biodegradable polymers as drug carriers. Thus, the aim of Focal Drug Delivery is to bring together leading experts and researchers in the field to provide an authoritative account of the essential pharmaceutical, technological, physiological and biological sciences underpinning the topic. In addition, the book will review advances in treatment options for diseases localized at a certain tissue or organ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically discusses the pathogenesis, prevention, and the current and potential clinical treatment of hearing loss, as well as the latest advances in hearing research. Hearing loss is a prevalent sensory disorder, which according to a 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) report affected 9% of the global population in 2015. As populations continue to age, more and more people are suffering from the condition, with 60% of those aged between 65 and 75 affected. Hearing loss seriously affects patients’ ability to work ability and quality of life, and as such deafness has become an increasingly urgent social problem around the globe. Sensorineural hearing loss is mainly caused by damage to the hair cells (HCs), and the subsequent loss of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Damage to the HCs in the inner ear can result from exposure to loud noises and environmental and chemical toxins as well as genetic disorders, aging, and certain medications. This book provides ENT specialists and researchers, as well as individuals affected a comprehensive introduction to the field of hearing loss.

This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translational medicine was first mentioned in 1992 by Choi D. W and has since become a rapidly expanding area within biomedical research. It is based on the ‘bench to bedside’ approach, which describes it’s relationship between basic science and clinical practice. In 2008, Drs Conway and Dougherty provided a 3 step process to translational medicine and how it should be implemented to transform healthcare systems. The first step is the translation of basic science into clinical research (T1). The second step (T2) focuses on making healthcare more patient specific, basing itself on providing ‘the right treatment for the right patient in the right way at the right time’. T2 also looks for this science to be translated into practice guidelines for clinicians, policy makers and the patients themselves. The final step (T3) addresses the ‘how’ of implementing these ideas, so that high quality healthcare can be delivered reliably to all patients in all settings of care. T3 activities would include policy changes that could serve to bring about meaningful change towards this goal. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Clarifying the etiology and pathogenesis of cancer is of great significance to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. The bench to bedside pattern can be a useful method for cancer-related studies. This Research Topic aims to highlight the emerging role of oncogenetics in cancer, and discuss potential challenges of diagnosis and treatment, from the bench to the bedside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanostructures for Antimicrobial Therapy discusses the pros and cons of the use of nanostructured materials in the prevention and eradication of infections, highlighting the efficient microbicidal effect of nanoparticles against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and biofilms. Conventional antibiotics are becoming ineffective towards microorganisms due to their widespread and often inappropriate use. As a result, the development of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms is increasingly being reported. New approaches are needed to confront the rising issues related to infectious diseases. The merging of biomaterials, such as chitosan, carrageenan, gelatin, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) with nanotechnology provides a promising platform for antimicrobial therapy as it provides a controlled way to target cells and induce the desired response without the adverse effects common to many traditional treatments. Nanoparticles represent one of the most promising therapeutic treatments to the problem caused by infectious micro-organisms resistant to traditional therapies. This volume discusses this promise in detail, and also discusses what challenges the greater use of nanoparticles might pose to medical professionals. The unique physiochemical properties of nanoparticles, combined with their growth inhibitory capacity against microbes has led to the upsurge in the research on nanoparticles as antimicrobials. The importance of bactericidal nanobiomaterials study will likely increase as development of resistant strains of bacteria against most potent antibiotics continues. - Shows how nanoantibiotics can be used to more effectively treat disease - Discusses the advantages and issues of a variety of different nanoantibiotics, enabling medics to select which best meets their needs - Provides a cogent summary of recent developments in this field, allowing readers to quickly familiarize themselves with this topic area
