This unique book will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers interested in prolactin physiology and pathophysiology and those who are involved in the care of patients with related disorders, including hyperprolactinemia and prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. Timely and up-to-date, it opens with a review of the historical aspects of prolactin research and a discussion of pituitary anatomy and physiology. Several chapters examine basic and translational aspects of prolactin physiology, focusing on recent developments and future directions.

This book integrates the current basic and clinical knowledge in the area of biophysical stimulation of osteoblast for in vitro and in vivo live bone generation. This innovative methodology and its applications are presented and discussed in several clinical conditions: treatment of fracture nonunion, spine stabilization, bone replacement after tumor resections, stabilization of failed joint endoprostheses in revision surgery and in treatment of bone loss (osteoporosis and osteopenia).

This book offers up-to-date information on the recording and analysis of respiratory sounds that will assist in clinical routine. The opening sections deliver basic knowledge on aspects such as the physics of sound and sound transmission in the body, a clear understanding of which is key to good clinical practice. Current techniques of breath sound analysis are described, and the diagnostic impact of advances in the processing of lung sound signals is carefully explained.
