 Free Download Tim Meyer, "Vascular Disruptive Agents for the Treatment of Cancer" English | 2010 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 1441966080, 1489982264 | PDF | 6,3 mb Angiogenesis (formation of new vessels from pre-existing ones) is a crucial early event in the process of tumor development. New vessels supply the tumor with nutrients that are needed for further local growth and enable distant metastases (Folkman 1995). Judah Folkman (1971) highlighted the potential therapeutic imp- cations of tumor angiogenesis. He hypothesized that if tumor angiogenesis is inhibited, then tumor growth and metastasis will be impaired greatly or even impossible. The subsequent quest for endogenous and exogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis has yielded a variety of promising therapeutic agents that block one or more angiogenic pathways, a few of which have been approved by the FDA (e. g. , bevacizumab, sorafenib, sunitinib) for use as single agents or in combination with chemotherapy in specific populations of cancer patients (Sessa et al. 2008). There has also been a dramatic expansion in the exploration of novel anti-angiogenic agents pre-clinically and in clinical trials (Ferrara 2002). Some of the most promising data comes from the development of agents that inhibit one of the key growth factors involved in tumor angiogenesis - vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (Ferrara et al. 2003). Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody against VEGF that was the first an- angiogenic agent that improved significantly the overall survival of patients with colorectal and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (Ferrara et al. 2005). Various agents that target tumor angiogenesis are currently under investigation in different cancer types in many clinical trials (Ferrara and Kerbel 2005).  Free Download Carol E. H. Scott-Conner, Jamal J. Hoballah, "Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery" English | 2011 | pages: 1098 | ISBN: 1461404509 | PDF | 3,7 mb Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, Second Edition is intended to teach residents the principles of succinct and precise operative dictations for a wide spectrum of surgical procedures. Designed as a portable resource, the book provides typical dictations to guide the resident. Comprised of 226 procedures, this new edition comprises the majority of procedures commonly performed by general and vascular surgeons. For each procedure, a list of common indicationsis given. This list covers 95% of the situations in which a particular procedure will be used. A list of essential stepsfollows. These can be used to mentally rehearse the procedure before it is performed. The next heading, Note these technical variations,introduces a list that is intended to prompt the surgeon for particular things to note and dictate within the template. A list of possible complicationsthat are typically associated with that particular surgical procedure follows. Finally, a template operative dictationis provided. Common opening and terminating sequences (for example, how to enter and close the abdomen) in all laparotomy dictations are included.  Free Download Handbook of Vascular Biometrics by Andreas Uhl English | EPUB | 2020 | 533 Pages | ISBN : 3030277305 | 103.3 MB  Free Download Robert H. Mohlenbrock, "Vascular Flora of Illinois: A Field Guide, Fourth Edition" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0809332086 | PDF | pages: 555 | 3.0 mb This latest edition of Vascular Flora of Illinois includes over thirty-four hundred species of flora from Illinois, adding more than 250 newly-recognized plants to this definitive collection. Because cataloguing our heritage is foremost in importance among naturalists, this book compiles essential information about plants in Illinois. Mohlenbrock includes all known taxa native to Illinois either at present or in the past and all non-native vascular plants that grow spontaneously and appear able to maintain themselves year after year without cultivation. The sequence of groups in the guide is ferns, conifers, and flowering plants, with cotyledons given before monocotyledons. Within each group, the families are arranged alphabetically, as are the genera within each family and the species within each genus. For each taxon recognized in this book, Mohlenbrock gives us a common name if one is generally used in Illinois. He follows this with an indication of flowering time for flowering plants, and of spore-production time in the case of ferns and their relatives. He also provides a habitat statement and a general comment on distribution in Illinois for each taxon.
