On the other hand, adhesives dramatically reduce healthcare costs, significantly reduce time spent in surgery, curb the risks of bleeding, and are generally easy to use. Adhesives also find their use in diagnostic imaging, various biomedical devices, dental adhesives, dermal adhesives, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdhesives in Biomedical Applications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e contains eleven chapters and is divided into two parts: Part 1: General Topics; and Part 2: Specific Adhesives, Characteristics, and Applications. Topics covered include: historical developments of various adhesives for biomedical applications; global industry development and analysis of adhesives for biomedical applications; biomedical adhesives; bioadhesion: fundamentals and mechanisms; fibrin glue; herbal bioactives-based mucoadhesive drug delivery systems; adhesive hydrogels; adhesives in dermal patches; medical adhesives from extracted mussel adhesive proteins; dental adhesives; and the role of adhesive-based systems for diagnostic imaging and theranostic applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will be used by adhesionists, adhesive technologists, polymer scientists, materials scientists, as well as those involved with biomedical devices and bioimplants such as medical doctors, surgeons, cosmetologists, as well as engineers in the pharmaceutical industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKashmiri Lal Mittal\u003c\/b\u003e was employed by the IBM Corporation from 1972 through 1993.
