"This
book is a comprehensive guide to leadership in healthcare and the
management of complex clinical scenarios in the medical or dental
practice. Training in leadership and hospital management is not part of
the curriculum and so guidance is often not provided in depth. This book
outlines strategies for dealing with the management problems that arise
in the healthcare profession, and it prepares the reader for
interviews, examinations and the supervision of a team.
It
opens with an overview of the NHS, its evidence-based practice and
healthcare regulations. Subsequent chapters discuss data protection,
management of new business cases, formal complaints and inappropriate
use of social media. Information is provided on the recruitment of new
junior trainees, the management of underperforming allied health
professionals, and the handling of injuries sustained at work. This book
is ideal for final-year medical and dental undergraduate students,
foundation year doctors, core trainees, junior and senior specialists
and newly-appointed consultants." From the publisher's website.

"This volume is a unique compendium of professional and practical knowledge on new paradigms and approaches in Teaching, Research, Innovation and Public Engagement that is currently missing from the Higher Education market. The intended audience includes healthcare, biomedical and physical sciences discipline specialists active in teaching, along with their students, science communicators associated with the above subjects and academics involved in relevant research/innovation. Its contents will be organised under the following three themes: 1) Scholarship of Teaching and Learning discussing pertinent knowledge, in this area, and inspiring educators to pursue similar medical humanities endeavours. The focus is on pedagogy/teaching including professional knowledge/expertise, reflections, literature reviews and evidence on a wide range of medical, biomedical and physical sciences topics interweaved with humanities. 2) Research and Innovation discussing novel work and paradigms as examples for future use/implementation. The focus is firstly on original research utilising cutting-edge technology and secondly on innovation with discussions around poetry and building communities. 3) Public Engagement discussing relevant science communication paradigms transferable to other settings and applications. The focus is on practical knowledge and examples from a wide range of healthcare and biomedical sciences topics interweaved with humanities while also exploring the hidden curriculum of public engagement and heritage practices through the lens of equality, diversity and inclusion. All chapter authors are renowned experts in their respective fields, who bring together a wealth of professional and practical knowledge, enriching the narrative of this edited book volume."

"Biomaterials Effect on the Bone Microenvironment focuses on the structure-activity relationship between bone biomaterials and microenvironment regulation, presenting a systematic exposition from all aspects of biomaterials regulated microenvironment in bone regeneration and covering design strategies, applications, and mechanisms of biomaterials that regulate bone microenvironment, along with the methods for manufacturing biomaterials and their clinical translation.
The subject’s potential challenges and future development direction are discussed, and the design and initiative principle of tailored biomaterials with various features, including bioactive components and physicochemical property, are elucidated in depth. Numerous biomaterials, including natural and synthetic, are summarized and compared. Their advantages and features are also evaluated, particularly in bone microenvironmental regulation and bone generation. Moreover, the stimulation mechanism of the microenvironment to bone generation is discussed in detail, including mechanical-support effect, redox effect, pro-angiogenesis effect, inflammatory immune effect, and anti-aging effect."

"This book focuses on the challenges to biomedical education posed by the lockdowns and restrictions to on campus teaching brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the tools and digital visualization technologies that have been successfully developed and used for remote teaching.
Biomedical education for science, medical, dental and allied health professionals relies on teaching visual and tactile knowledge using practice-based approaches. This has been delivered for decades via on-campus lectures, workshops and laboratories, teaching practical skills as well as fundamental knowledge and understanding. However, the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that education across the globe had to pivot very quickly to be able to deliver these skills and knowledge in a predominantly online environment. This brought with it many challenges, as Higher Education staff, had to adapt to deliver these visual subjects remotely.
This book addresses the challenges and solutions faced by Higher Education staff in teaching visual content in distance education. Chapters include literature reviews, original research, and pedagogical reflections for a wide range of biomedical subjects, degrees such as medicine, dentistry and veterinary sciences with examples from undergraduate and postgraduate settings. The goal of the book is to provide a compendium of expertise based on evidence gathered during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reflections on the challenges and lessons learned from this dramatic shift in teaching. It also presents new examples of best practices that have emerged from this experience to ensure that they are not lost as we return to on-campus learning in a new era of biomedical teaching.
This book will be of interest to anyone looking for a helpful reference point when designing online or blended teaching for visual practice-based subjects." From the publisher's website.

"This book merges the two most important trends in biomaterials: functionalization and renewable chemistry. It covers a variety of biopolymers and various approaches for the transformation of these biopolymers into functional units. Sample topics covered by the two well-qualified authors include: - Fundamental knowledge of biopolymers–natural ones, such as cellulose and other polysaccharides, and synthetic ones, such as polyethylene
- The origin, classifications, chemical nature, and isolation methods of specific biopolymers
- The different classical and modern approaches for the transformation of biopolymers into different shapes, ranging from thin films (model surfaces), to nanoparticles, to nanofibers, all the way to 3D scaffolds
- The morphology, structure, shape, thermal, electrical, and surface properties of biomaterials
This all-inclusive reference guide, which covers fundamentals, methods, and applications alike, is a key resource for both students and practicing scientists involved in programs of study or disciplines that intersect with the field of biomaterials." From the publisher's website.

"This book reviews and describes anesthetic management of patients during oral and maxillofacial surgery. It covers applied anatomy of oral and maxillofacial surgery, difficult airway management and anesthetic techniques. The anesthetic management for patients with oral and maxillofacial disorders such as head and neck infection, head and neck injuries, and head and neck malignancy is also discussed. It will be a concise, up-to-date reference for specialists in anesthesiology, as well as practitioners in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It aims to share up-to-date knowledge and practical techniques with those who work in the fields related to oral and maxillofacial surgery." From the publisher's website.
