From Book News, Inc. Yuehuei and Martin (both orthopedic surgery, Medical U. of Southern Carolina) bring together 39 contributions from physicians, researchers, and technicians who describe major methods and techniques of bone and cartilage study. Written for those involved with bone and cartilage, orthopedic, or dental work, the volume leans toward applications rather than theory, covering in situ hybridization of bone and cartilage, radiological examination of calcified tissue, histology artifacts in hard-tissue research, bone implant interfaces, cartilage defect repair, bone labeling and sectioning, and histological and histomorphometric analysis.Copyright 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Info Medical Univ. of South Carolina, Charleston. Comprehensive guide to experimental techniques for bone and cartilage histology. Features detailed techniques for preparation of bone and cartilage tissue, and techniques for cutting and staining undecalcified tissue. Number diagrams and photographs are included. DNLM: Bone and Bones--anatomy & histology--Handbooks.
Book Description The first comprehensive collection of all the major methods for studying the histology and histomorphometry of bone and cartilage. The detailed methods include techniques for bone labeling, bone sectioning, histological analysis, histomorphometric analysis, radiological examination, and contact radiography. Among the applications presented are in situ hybridization of bone and cartilage, radiological examination of calcified tissue with emphasis on bone, and dealing with histology artifacts in hard tissue research. More practical than theoretical, the text is simple and straightforward, with many tables, line drawings, and micro and macro photographs to illustrate the content. Full bibliographies at the end of each chapter guide the reader to additional detailed information.
