    Summary: This heavily revised second edition provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary resource on blast injuries. It features detailed information on the basic science, engineering, and medicine associated with blast injuries. Clear, easy to understand descriptions of the basic science are accompanied by case studies of a variety of clinical problems including heterotopic ossification, hearing damage, and traumatic brain injury, enabling the reader to develop a deep understanding of how to appropriately apply the relevant science into their clinical practice. The use of prosthetics, orthotics and osseointegration in rehabilitation is also covered. Blast Injury Science and Engineering: A Guide for Clinicians and Researchers is a valuable interdisciplinary text primarily focused towards clinical medical professionals and trainees seeking to develop a thorough understanding of injury mechanisms, and the latest treatment techniques. In addition, this resource is of use to individuals in other fields whose work centres around blast injury science such as injury mitigation researchers, military scientists and engineers.

    Full thickness skin grafts from inner or outer areas of the face to cover defects in the face following tumor excision achieve functional and cosmetic results comparable to those methods using flaps. In contrast to this method grafting of full-thickness skin can be performed under local anesthesia on an out-patient basis with low risk and inconvenience for the patient. The graft excision should be performed like a face-lifting: remove cosmetically disturbing folds and avoid visible scars. Localization of possible donor sites, pre-operative planning, surgical management, special features and results acquired with this technique are described.
