Oxygen Transport to Tissue XIX

The Oxygen Transport to Tissue series (that, with the present publication, has reached the XIXth volume) has become a `classic' for those interested in the field of transport to and utilization by tissues and organs. The present volume summarizes the proceedings of the 24th Annual Meeting of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (August 19-23, 1996, Dundee, Scotland) and compares favourably with previous ones of the same series. The volume covers aspects ranging from molecular/cellular biology to tissue/organ oxygenation, in different conditions. Emphasis is given to `cutting edge' technological advances in the field (related to near-infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging, electron paramagnetic resonance, and others), as well as to their application to the evaluation of various physiological and pathological conditions, such as muscular exercise, peripheral vascular diseases, neoplastic disorders, hypoxia and hyperoxia. Recent advancements in research on the systemic and local mechanisms of regulation of transport and utilization are reported. Sections of the book deal with specific organs, such as heart, lung, skeletal muscle and brain. A section on the effects of fluorocarbons on transport and utilization is also included. The book appears to be of value to scientists interested in the study of basic physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as for research-oriented clinicians.
