    Summary: This book provides a comprehensive review of the basic science of the mitral valve needed to begin to comprehend both normal and the failing valve. This knowledge is infrequently discussed in the clinical arena, with a rush towards definition of lesions based on limited analysis. It provides a ready single source of the most important basic science subjects pertaining to the valve, and the pathologies found therein, and thus a more complete understanding of the factors that result in dysfunction may be appreciated. Mitral Valve Disease: Basic Sciences and Current Approaches to Management includes chapters on embryology and anatomy, including details of structural, comparative and functional features. Since the valve is completely influenced by genetics and molecular biology, subjects rarely if ever addressed in the clinical arena, these topics receive in-depth attention. Coverage concludes with lengthy discussions of the importance of multi-disciplinary work, along with the importance of the electrophysiological disturbances encountered in some groups of these patients. It therefore is an essential and up-to-date resource for the practicing and trainee cardiac surgeon and any researcher working within this topic.

    It has been demonstrated that Escherichia coli organisms isolated from birds in the district of Haskovo are up to 65 per cent resistant to drugs. It has been experimentally shown that the genetic determinants of resistance to chemotherapeutics are transferred via conjugation. The possibility of transferring R-factors from Escherichia coli to Salmonella typhimurium points to one of the routes for the occurrence of drug resistance in Salmonella bacteria.
