If osteoarthritis is inevitable (only premature death prevents all of us from being afflicted), it seems essential to facilitate its recognition, prevention, options, and indications for treatment. Progress in understanding this disease has occurred with recognition that it is not simply a degenerative joint disease. Causative factors, such as joint malalignment, ligamentous abnormalities, overuse, and biomechanical and metabolic factors have been recognized as amenable to intervention; genetic factors, less so; with metabolic diseases, intermediate. Its diagnosis is based on recognition of overgrowth of bone at joint margins. This contrasts with overgrowth of bone at vertebral margins, which is not a symptomatic phenomenon and has been renamed spondylosis deformans. Osteoarthritis describes an abnormality of joints, but the severity does not necessarily produce pain. The patient and his/her symptoms need to be treated, not the x-ray.",isbn:null,printIsbn:"978-953-51-0063-8",pdfIsbn:"978-953-51-6822-5",doi:"10.5772/1487",price:159,priceEur:175,priceUsd:205,slug:"principles-of-osteoarthritis-its-definition-character-derivation-and-modality-related-recognition",numberOfPages:604,isOpenForSubmission:!1,isInWos:null,isInBkci:!1,hash:"ede382c82c469265f558306b4fb48137",bookSignature:"Bruce M.

Such materials are being classified not only based on their origin but also on the nature of their processing, properties, functions, and applications. Magnetic materials present the basics of magnetism, magnetic materials, magnetic structures, and their applications in device technologies. Recently, new magnetic materials and hybrid structures have been developed using different synthesis and fabrication techniques. Different phenomena and interesting properties are studied theoretically and experimentally using advanced characterization techniques. Magnetic materials are now the building block of all technological innovation.
\r\n\r\n\tThis book aims to present an overview of different magnetic materials including theoretical study, synthesis, characterization, and application of magnetic materials. The chapter and different topics of the book hope to provide a key understudying on different magnetic materials. It will be very much helpful to students, researchers, academicians, and professionals. This book hopes to give the readers new ideas and insights into scientific advances and technology related to magnetic materials. Novelties on magnetic materials development will display attractive properties for a wide range of applications in advanced technologies.

Overgrowth is characterized by the formation of bone spikes at the end of the amputated stump. At some point, the bone end becomes covered with a bursa, and skin adheres to the underlying bone. Finally, the skin perforates, and bone and soft tissue infections develop, Figure 1.
\nX-ray of distal tibia and fibula overgrowth, arrow is indicating the sharp end of overgrown spike.
Stump overgrowth is the most common complication following limb amputation in children, and the incidence varies from 4 to 50% [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Age, location, reason for amputation, and level of amputation are known factors that affect the prevalence of stump overgrowth. Among them age and location are the most influencing factors. Osseous overgrowth is not observed in children older than 12 years or in cases of disarticulation amputations. Younger patients have a higher incidence of stump overgrowth [1, 7, 9]. The most frequent locations are the humerus, followed by the fibula and the tibia, whereas stump overgrowth is rare in the radius and ulna [7, 10]. Traumatic amputations carry a higher risk of overgrowth than elective surgical amputations, as stump overgrowth is very rare in congenital agenesis but common in amniotic band syndrome [1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 12]. Aitke postulated that bone overgrowth in congenital cases is due to intrauterine amputation (amniotic band syndrome) rather than true agenesis, considering that bone overgrowth does not occur in congenital agenesis; however, this assumption has not been proven [7]. An increased prevalence of overgrowth has been reported in patients who had previously undergone surgery for overgrowth [3, 11, 12]. Last, metaphyseal level amputations carry a higher risk of overgrowth than diaphyseal level amputations [1, 5].
\nMany hypotheses have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of bone overgrowth. Because overgrowth occurs in children, it has been suggested that overgrowth occurs as a result of disproportional growth between the remaining proximal physis and the contracted distal soft tissue and skin [13, 14, 15]. Pellicore et al. observed bone growth stimulation following amputation and concluded that stump overgrowth occurs because soft tissues cannot keep up with the rapid growth of the bone [16]; however, attempts to treat overgrowth by proximal epiphysiodesis and leaving long redundant soft tissue have failed [12, 17, 18, 19]. The incidence of the overgrowth phenomenon in cases of surgical and post-trauma amputations was higher [1, 2, 3, 5] compared with that of disarticulation amputation and congenital agenesis, [7, 20] which suggests that stump overgrowth might be a result of bone and soft tissue trauma rather than continuous growth of the proximal physis. This would mean that overgrowth is a local process of bone formation and wound healing that occur in the distal stump. Studying the histology of stump overgrowth in rabbits, Hellstadius concluded that the medullary canal is the source of overgrowth [21]. Aitken implanted a radiographic marker in the bony stump and confirmed that overgrowth occurs distal to the marker, proving that overgrowth does not represent an epiphyseal contribution but rather a local phenomenon of bone healing [7, 8]. This explains why overgrowth does not occur in cases of disarticulation where there is intact articular cartilage rather than transected bone. If stump overgrowth is a local phenomenon, it is unclear why it is not observed following adult amputation. Speer, by conducting an experimental histological study on the immature skeleton of rabbits, described the pathogenesis of stump overgrowth and explained why it does not occur in the mature skeleton [22]. His study indicates that an amputation stump responds via wound healing and intramembranous bone formation. In the immature skeleton, the elastic characteristic of the periosteum allows it to pull away from the end of the amputee stump and leads to local bone formation, Figure 2.
\nPathogenesis of stump overgrowth: (a) initial stage, hematoma formation and periosteal elevation. (b) Organization of collagen fibers of scar and periosteum as continues mass. (c) Pulling the collagen fibers more distal by wound contracture and spike formation. 1 – Cotrex, 2 – Medullary canal, 3 – Periosteum, 4 – Hematoma.
Patients with stump overgrowth present with pain, intolerance to the prosthesis, soft tissue irritation, pressure ulcers, skin perforation, and infection. The sharp edge of the bony spike can be palpated subcutaneously. The diagnosis is confirmed radiographically, with characteristic distal tapering of the bone to a narrow tip, with the absence of a medullary canal (the so-called licked candy sign), Figure 1. Orthopaedists should differentiate between stump overgrowth and bone spurs, which develop as a response to periosteal stimulation at the periphery of transected bone edges. Such bone spurs rarely necessitate stump revision. The cause of pain might also be an adventitious bursa, which is common in soft tissues overlying an area of the stump.
\nThe initial management of stump overgrowth includes prosthetic modifications and lifestyle adjustments. Before wearing the prosthesis, soft tissues should be pulled distally to prevent “mushrooming” of the soft tissue proximally into the socket. In many cases, the cause of pain is attributed to bone spurs and adventitious bursae, which can be treated with aspiration, steroid injections, and stump wrapping.
\nThe skin traction method, first described by Marquardt in the late 1960s, has been reported to be successful in selected cases [10, 23]. This method has become the standard in very young children with very short stumps, in whom further shortening may preclude the use of prosthetics. The method involves a lengthy treatment and requires a cooperative parent. Older children can be taught to apply traction by themselves. The early period at the beginning of the treatment, before the skin becomes adherent to the underlying bursa, is important. The method is less successful for amputations below the knee due to the presence of the interosseous membrane and related tissue that hold the soft tissue firmly to the bone. Traction should be applied 23 hours a day, with 1 hour off for cleaning, and should be continued until skeletal maturity. A skin adhesive, such as Hollister medical skin adhesive, is applied to the distal stump. Cotton or nylon stockinettes are placed on the limb over the adhesive and pressed onto the skin firmly. After the adhesive dry, the loose end of the fabric is split into medial and lateral “tails.” The tails are cut to the skin margin where the stockinette is adherent to the skin and are used to counter-pull through a D-ring attached to the outside of the socket after being looped around a rod built into the prosthesis. Night traction is achieved by attaching the tail of the stockinette to rob with appropriate weight over a pulley on the side of the bed.1
\nThe surgical treatment of stump overgrowth has always been a challenge. Simple excision of the overgrown bone is associated with high recurrence; Davids et al. [11] reported a rate of revision as high as 87% after simple bone excision, multiple revisions (more than one revision) have been reported in 18% of cases, and one case with six revisions has been reported [5, 12]. Repeated surgical excision, while it is temporarily effective, leads to progressive shortening of the stump. A lack of understanding of the pathogenesis has led to a wide variety of treatment recommendations. Disproportional growth between bone and soft tissue has been considered a reason for overgrowth in the immature skeleton. Attempts to treat the condition by proximal epiphysiodesis and leaving a redundant soft tissue envelope have failed to stop overgrowth [12, 17, 18, 19]. The recent hypothesis, which considers overgrowth a local appositional overgrowth as a result of the healing process [6, 7, 8, 21], has directed surgical treatment for reducing the intensity of the bone healing process. Attempts to stop local bone formation by sclerosing the end of the stump by periosteal excision and cauterization have failed to treat the condition, and histological studies of the excised-periosteum distal stump have shown viable bony tissue [3]. To interrupt the interaction between the endosteum and surrounding outside soft and bony tissues, capping of the medullary canal has been suggested. The first capping procedure was performed by Swanson in 1969 with the use of silicon rubber [24, 25]. Marquardt, in 1974, has been credited as being the first to propose the application of a biological cap to prevent bone overgrowth in children. He described his procedure of using an epiphysis taken from the amputated limb as a cap to prevent overgrowth of a distal tibia amputation [26]. The goal was to convert a diaphyseal amputation into a stump resembling a disarticulation type, Figure 3. Many animal and human studies have been conducted to study the result of capping procedures using different materials, including 1 – biological caps: cancellous, cortical, and cartilaginous caps from the amputated distal stump and iliac crest; and 2 – synthetic caps: rubber, polyethylene, titanium, and Teflon caps [1, 3, 4, 11, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32] (Table 1). Animal studies on rabbits, with transplantation of the metatarsal epiphyses and fixation to the end of the amputated bone, have shown epiphyseal capping to be a very successful procedure to prevent overgrowth [31]. Many further publications have shown capping of the stump with an osteochondral cap to be the most effective treatment, with a revision rate of 0–10% [4, 29, 32, 33]. A controlled study compared osteochondral capping of the stump with simple resection and found a revision rate of 10% and, subsequently, of 86% [11, 28]. The distal epiphysis of the amputated stump, distal tibia, distal ulna, head of the metatarsal bone, and calcaneus serve as donors for the osteochondral cap for primary amputation (amputation where a distal stump is available). Finding a donor for the osteochondral cap is a challenge in secondary amputation (revision cases and cases where the distal part is absent), and the proximal fibula of the ipsilateral knee can be used in these situations [4, 29, 31, 33]. To avoid donor site morbidity (knee instability), Paley D used the apophysis of the iliac crest as a cap in a case series of patients [34]. Bernd et al. [27] studied the relationship between the revision rate in cartilaginous stump plasty and different factors and found no relationship with sex, reason for amputation, origin of the graft or method of fixation (screw vs. wires). However, revision was related to age and site; there were no revisions in patients below the age of 10 years old, and there were more revisions in the humerus; the high revision rate in the humerus was attributed to a loose interference fit between the humeral shaft and cartilaginous cap [32].

Result of caping procedure by different authors using different capping materials.
To avoid donor site morbidity and to substitute biological caps when unavailable, synthetic cap usage has been attractive for orthopedist. Silicon rubber, polyethylene and titanium caps have shown poor results [3, 11, 24]. Although capping with synthetic material is successful for reducing the intensity of bony growth, the revision rate is high because of failure of fixation, infection, implant fracture, and difficulty covering with soft tissue. The synthetic cap must be biologically inert and durable. Teflon caps show better results than other synthetic materials, with a 29% revision rate. This result is comparable to capping of the stump with bone grafts; the cause of failure is mainly due to infection and painful bursa rather than overgrowth [3].
\nConclusion of treatment: conservative treatment (prosthesis and lifestyle modification) is the initial treatment, and the skin traction method can be used in selected cases, especially in very young patients and cases of short stumps. When performing amputations, prophylactic transplantation of an osteochondral graft to plug the stump is recommended when a graft is available. In revision cases and cases in which the osteochondral graft is unavailable, the head of the fibula and Teflon caps can be used to plug the stump.

However, the used of dried toxic cyanobacteria cells as fertilizer or the used of surface water contaminated with cyanotoxins for agricultural crops irrigation can be source of soil contamination. In addition, surface waters presenting dense toxic blooms of cyanobacteria and used for agricultural practices are not controlled and are often used without prior treatment. Once in soil, cyanotoxins may be transported again to water bodies by leaching, runoff and drainage processes or can be accumulated in soils and, therefore, may cause contamination of vegetation by absorption from soils or by surface pollution of plants. In addition to possible effects on human health, elevated levels of cyanotoxins in soils can negatively affect plant vigour, animal health, microbial processes and overall soil health. Consequently, the focus of this chapter of soil contamination is cyanotoxins as contaminants of emerging concern in the soil, identifying sources of contamination, determining their fate and effects in the soil, and understanding their bioaccumulation in agricultural plants used for feed and food and consequences on animal and human health.",book:{id:"5358",slug:"soil-contamination-current-consequences-and-further-solutions",title:"Soil Contamination",fullTitle:"Soil Contamination - Current Consequences and Further Solutions"},signatures:"Noureddine Bouaïcha and Sylvain Corbel",authors:[{id:"186021",title:"Dr.",name:"Noureddine",middleName:null,surname:"Bouaïcha",slug:"noureddine-bouaicha",fullName:"Noureddine Bouaïcha"},{id:"186034",title:"Dr.",name:"Sylvain",middleName:null,surname:"Corbel",slug:"sylvain-corbel",fullName:"Sylvain Corbel"}]},{id:"45263",doi:"10.5772/56372",title:"Biodegradation of the Organophosphate Pesticide Profenofos by Marine Fungi",slug:"biodegradation-of-the-organophosphate-pesticide-profenofos-by-marine-fungi",totalDownloads:3931,totalCrossrefCites:8,totalDimensionsCites:20,abstract:null,book:{id:"3547",slug:"applied-bioremediation-active-and-passive-approaches",title:"Applied Bioremediation",fullTitle:"Applied Bioremediation - Active and Passive Approaches"},signatures:"Natália Alvarenga da Silva, Willian Garcia Birolli, Mirna Helena Regali Seleghim and André Luiz Meleiro Porto",authors:[{id:"29131",title:"Prof.",name:"André",middleName:null,surname:"LM Porto",slug:"andre-lm-porto",fullName:"André LM Porto"},{id:"164743",title:"Ms.",name:"Natália Alvarenga",middleName:null,surname:"Da Silva",slug:"natalia-alvarenga-da-silva",fullName:"Natália Alvarenga Da Silva"},{id:"164744",title:"Prof.",name:"Mirna Helena R.",middleName:null,surname:"Seleghim",slug:"mirna-helena-r.-seleghim",fullName:"Mirna Helena R.

Understanding the radionuclide distribution, mobility and bioavailability, as well as the changes caused by the variation of environmental conditions, is essential for soil rehabilitation. This chapter aims to highlight the importance of evaluating radionuclide distribution, for the selection of proper in situ or ex situ remediation strategy. Attention was focused onto remediation methods based on radioactive pollutants redistribution, for enhanced separation (chemical extraction) or containment (in situ immobilization). When the excavation and off-site leaching treatments are uneconomic, impractical, or unnecessary, in situ stabilization by the addition of appropriate reactive materials is an alternative approach. The optimization of factors in control of chemical leaching methods, selection of cost-effective immobilization agents, especially among suitable wastes and by-products, and verification of long-term effects of remediating actions are the major challenges for future investigation in this field. Furthermore, the improvement and standardization of the methods for radionuclide speciation are necessary to enable comparison between studies and monitoring of the effects achieved by the soil treatments.",book:{id:"5358",slug:"soil-contamination-current-consequences-and-further-solutions",title:"Soil Contamination",fullTitle:"Soil Contamination - Current Consequences and Further Solutions"},signatures:"Ivana Smičiklas and Marija Šljivić-Ivanović",authors:[{id:"186699",title:"Ph.D.",name:"Marija",middleName:null,surname:"Sljivic-Ivanovic",slug:"marija-sljivic-ivanovic",fullName:"Marija Sljivic-Ivanovic"},{id:"186801",title:"Dr.",name:"Ivana",middleName:null,surname:"Smičiklas",slug:"ivana-smiciklas",fullName:"Ivana Smičiklas"}]},{id:"62735",title:"Peat Use in Horticulture",slug:"peat-use-in-horticulture",totalDownloads:1601,totalCrossrefCites:6,totalDimensionsCites:8,abstract:"Peat is a spongy substance which is an effect of incomplete decomposition of plant residues in different stages of decomposition.

Peat is used in horticulture as a component of garden plant substrates, in agriculture for the production of garden soil and as an organic fertilizer, and in balneology as a material for baths and wraps. The use of peat for agriculture and horticulture is determined by the following quality parameters: the degree of decomposition, ash content, pH, the presence of carbonates, the density of the solid phase, bulk density, and porosity. As an organic material, the peat forms in the acidic, waterlogged, and sterile conditions of fens and bogs. The conditions seem like the development of mosses. The plants do not compose as they die. Instead of this, the organic matter is laid down and accumulates in a slow time as peat due to the oxygen deficiency in the bog. This makes peat a highly productive growing medium.

While a daunting task, learning is facilitated by identifying common and effective signaling pathways mediated by a variety of factors employed by nature to preserve and sustain homeostatic life. \r\nAs a leading example, the cellular interaction between intracellular concentration of Ca+2 increases, and changes in plasma membrane potential is integral for coordinating blood flow, governing the exocytosis of neurotransmitters, and modulating gene expression and cell effector secretory functions. Furthermore, in this manner, understanding the systemic interaction between the cardiovascular and nervous systems has become more important than ever as human populations' life prolongation, aging and mechanisms of cellular oxidative signaling are utilised for sustaining life. \r\nAltogether, physiological research enables our identification of distinct and precise points of transition from health to the development of multimorbidity throughout the inevitable aging disorders (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, age-related macular degeneration, cancer). With consideration of all organ systems (e.g., brain, heart, lung, gut, skeletal and smooth muscle, liver, pancreas, kidney, eye) and the interactions thereof, this Physiology Series will address the goals of resolving (1) Aging physiology and chronic disease progression (2) Examination of key cellular pathways as they relate to calcium, oxidative stress, and electrical signaling, and (3) how changes in plasma membrane produced by lipid peroxidation products can affect aging physiology, covering new research in the area of cell, human, plant and animal physiology.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series/covers/10.jpg",latestPublicationDate:"July 20th, 2022",hasOnlineFirst:!0,numberOfPublishedBooks:14,editor:{id:"35854",title:"Prof.",name:"Tomasz",middleName:null,surname:"Brzozowski",slug:"tomasz-brzozowski",fullName:"Tomasz Brzozowski",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/35854/images/system/35854.jpg",biography:"Prof. Dr. Thomas Brzozowski works as a professor of Human Physiology and is currently Chairman at the Department of Physiology and is V-Dean of the Medical Faculty at Jagiellonian University Medical College, Cracow, Poland.

He enrolled at today's Nelson Metropolitan University and graduated from this university with a BSc in Physics and Mathematics, B.Sc Honors in Physics, MSc in Semiconductor Physics, and a Ph.D. in Semiconductor Physics in 1987. After his studies, he chose an academic career and devoted his energy to the teaching of physics to first, second, and third-year students. After positions as a lecturer at the University of Port Elizabeth, he accepted a position as Associate Professor at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.\r\n\r\nIn 1992, he motivates the concept of 'television and computer-based education” as means to reach large student numbers with only the best of teaching expertise and publishes an article on the concept in the SA Journal of Higher Education of 1993 (and later in 2003). The University of Pretoria subsequently approved a series of test projects on the concept with outreach to Mamelodi and Eerste Rust in 1993. In 1994, the University established a 'Unit for Telematic Education ' as a support section for multiple faculties at the University of Pretoria. In subsequent years, the concept of 'telematic education” subsequently becomes well established in academic circles in South Africa, grew in popularity, and is adopted by many universities and colleges throughout South Africa as a medium of enhancing education and training, as a method to reaching out to far out communities, and as a means to enhance study from the home environment.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman in subsequent years pursued research in semiconductor physics, semiconductor devices, microelectronics, and optoelectronics.\r\n\r\nIn 2000 he joined the TUT as a full professor. Here served for a period as head of the Department of Electronic Engineering. Here he makes contributions to solar energy development, microwave and optoelectronic device development, silicon photonics, as well as contributions to new mobile telecommunication systems and network planning in SA.\r\n\r\nCurrently, he teaches electronics and telecommunications at the TUT to audiences ranging from first-year students to Ph.D. level.\r\n\r\nFor his research in the field of 'Silicon Photonics” since 1990, he has published (as author and co-author) about thirty internationally reviewed articles in scientific journals, contributed to more than forty international conferences, about 25 South African provisional patents (as inventor and co-inventor), 8 PCT international patent applications until now. Of these, two USA patents applications, two European Patents, two Korean patents, and ten SA patents have been granted. A further 4 USA patents, 5 European patents, 3 Korean patents, 3 Chinese patents, and 3 Japanese patents are currently under consideration.\r\n\r\nRecently he has also published an extensive scholarly chapter in an internet open access book on 'Integrating Microphotonic Systems and MOEMS into standard Silicon CMOS Integrated circuitry”.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Professor Snyman recently steered a new initiative at the TUT by introducing a 'Laboratory for Innovative Electronic Systems ' at the Department of Electrical Engineering. The model of this laboratory or center is to primarily combine outputs as achieved by high-level research with lower-level system development and entrepreneurship in a technical university environment. Students are allocated to projects at different levels with PhDs and Master students allocated to the generation of new knowledge and new technologies, while students at the diploma and Baccalaureus level are allocated to electronic systems development with a direct and a near application for application in industry or the commercial and public sectors in South Africa.\r\n\r\nProfessor Snyman received the WIRSAM Award of 1983 and the WIRSAM Award in 1985 in South Africa for best research papers by a young scientist at two international conferences on electron microscopy in South Africa. He subsequently received the SA Microelectronics Award for the best dissertation emanating from studies executed at a South African university in the field of Physics and Microelectronics in South Africa in 1987. In October of 2011, Professor Snyman received the prestigious Institutional Award for 'Innovator of the Year” for 2010 at the Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa.

The applications of this research cover many related fields, such as biotechnology and medicine, where, for example, Bioinformatics contributes to faster drug design, DNA analysis in forensics, and DNA sequence analysis in the field of personalized medicine. Personalized medicine is a type of medical care in which treatment is customized individually for each patient. Personalized medicine enables more effective therapy, reduces the costs of therapy and clinical trials, and also minimizes the risk of side effects. Nevertheless, advances in personalized medicine would not have been possible without bioinformatics, which can analyze the human genome and other vast amounts of biomedical data, especially in genetics. The rapid growth of information technology enabled the development of new tools to decode human genomes, large-scale studies of genetic variations and medical informatics. The considerable development of technology, including the computing power of computers, is also conducive to the development of bioinformatics, including personalized medicine. In an era of rapidly growing data volumes and ever lower costs of generating, storing and computing data, personalized medicine holds great promises. Modern computational methods used as bioinformatics tools can integrate multi-scale, multi-modal and longitudinal patient data to create even more effective and safer therapy and disease prevention methods.
