This two-volume work gathers together the diverse information presently available on spontaneous animal models of human disease. In addition to providing a comprehensive review of existing models, the book presents many previous unpublished new models. The scope of this work is limited to spontaneous models. Neoplasia, infectious diseases including parasitism, and nutritionally induced or other types of experimental models have not been included. The sixteen parts of the book are alphabetically arranged according to organ system with over 230 authors contributing to the overall effort. In addition to many illustrations, the book features an extensive bibliography.
Anyone engaged in surgery of malformations of the head in infants cannot tell right away whether long-term results will be adequate. He will know the outcome only after the growth process has ceases, that is to say, 15 to 20 years hence. For more than a century surgeons have been attempting to find out what to expect. But there are still only few centers on the globe who can tell us something about long-term results. For this reason the interdisciplinary "Hamburg Center of Craniofacial Anomalies & Cleft Lip, Jaw & Palate", commanding over 30 years of documentation experience, continued to uphold the tradition of three previous symposia (1954, 1964, 1979) by convening the 4th International Symposium & inviting teams from malformation centers who can present long-term results. For the first time is has been possible to compare various methods in systematic sequence on the basis of late results after cessation of growth: This gives the book pioneer character for 20 years to come. The discussions will have a lasting effect on therapy principles in plastic surgery, neurosurgery, oral & maxillofacial surgery, pediatric surgery, ENT surgery, orthodontics & logopedics.
