This volume covers all aspects of oxygen delivery to tissue, including blood flow and its regulation, as well as oxygen metabolism. Special emphasis is placed on methods of oxygen measurement in living tissue and application of these technologies to understanding physiological and biochemical basis for pathology related to tissue oxygenation. This is a multidisciplinary volume designed to bring together experts and students from a range of research fields.

The ISOTT 2001 local organizing committee was pleased to welcome over 140 delegates from around the world to the 29th annual general meeting of the International Society for Oxygen Transport to Tissue. The meeting was held in historic Philadelphia, USA, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania from August 11 to 15, 2001. In the tradition of ISOTT, the conference was a total immersion experience. Attendees were encouraged to eat together and spend their evenings relaxing together in a style that maximized exchange of ideas and interactions of younger scientists with their more senior colleagues. Delegates participated in a total of 122 presentations including poster displays, selected oral presentations, seminars by invited speakers and a round table discussion. In choosing invited speakers and oral presenters, special emphasis was placed on methods for oxygen measurement in living tissue and application of these technologies to understanding physiological and biochemical basis for pathology related to tissue oxygenation. All of the manuscripts contained in this volume underwent both an editorial and scientific review, and only those meeting both criteria have been published. However, while all efforts have been made to eliminate editorial errors, some have undoubtedly been overlooked, for which the editors apologize.

This textbook gives a comprehensive overview of oral histology and oral histopathology. It discusses the microscopic features of normal structures and the cellular changes that occur during the disease processes. Essential knowledge is provided on clinically diagnosed and biopsied samples of lesions and the mechanism involved in the pathological process.The book is divided into three parts: Part one, Oral Histology, serves as a foundation and explains the structure and development of different oral tissues. Part two, Oral Histopathology, presents a classification of diseases and discusses salient microscopic features. Part three, Investigative Oral Pathology, is designed to inform students and clinicians of the methodologies available and used to diagnose oral diseases microscopically.The book and its combined approach to oral histology and histopathology are useful for students and clinicians working in oral pathology, oral surgery, special needs dentistry, and oral health therapy. It also meets the needs of preclinical and clinical dentistry students.
