Intended as a ready-reference guide for organ procurement and transplant units, the Handbook of Organ Retrieval and Preservation addresses the identification and management of potential donors and the subsequent retrieval and preservation of various organs. After an introduction to the historical development behind organ preservation, the authors discuss the physiological changes that take place in the organ donor and in an organ during preservation. Several preservation techniques are evaluated for their ability to minimize these physiological changes. In this handbook procurement coordinators, surgeons, residents and any other health care professionals involved in organ retrieval will find most questions answered that may arise during their participation with these difficult and complex issues. The Handbook of Organ Retrieval an d Preservation will prove an invaluable resource in the procurement or transplant unit as well as in the intensive care unit, where organ donors are potentially identified CLICK HERE TO GET FREE LINKS TO THIS BOOK Organ Procurement and Preservation (Vademecum)

Consumer demand is creating rapid growth in the functional foods market – a market soon to reach $20 billion worldwide. As a result, the food industry has stepped up the development of functional lipids. These lipids impart health benefits when consumed and also impact food product functionalities. While many books have touched on the correlation between dietary lipids and health, there has not been a single-source guide specifically devoted to functional lipids – until now.
The Handbook of Functional Lipids is a comprehensive reference that illustrates the science and applications of lipids in foods. The editor has divided the text into four parts for easy reference regarding topics that: explore the isolation, production, and concentration of functional lipids; explain how lipids provide food functionality; determine how lipids are engaged in health and nutritional functionality; and examine the role of biotechnology in functional lipids and discern their market potential.
These sections synthesize the collaborative efforts of international experts at the forefront of lipid science and technology. They provide in-depth treatment for each subject in a straightforward and easy to read manner, making the Handbook of Functional Lipids a must-have resource for those interested in this rapidly growing field.
Features -Provides a thorough discussion of the broad spectrum of topics related to lipid functionality, science, and applicability
-Focuses on essential lipid elements including structured and marine lipids, gamma linolenic and omega-3 fatty acids, trans-free lipids, and the purification of fatty acids
-Delineates the health benefits of specific lipids in relation to food functionality
-Contains the latest references and areas of research interest CLICK HERE TO GET FREE LINKS TO THIS BOOK Handbook of Functional Lipids (Functional Foods and Nutraceuti) [ILLUSTRATED]
