Frontiers in Civil Engineering brings scholarly references on all topics related to civil engineering to the fore. Each volume presents thematic information on theoretical frameworks and practical applications in the field, including (but not limited to) soil and rock mechanics, flood control, road and railway engineering, and the construction of large buildings, bridges and dams. The series aims to compile and present useful information in the form of handbooks and monographs for students involved in technical courses in addition to providing updated references for professional engineers about the latest trends in civil engineering.

Heart failure is the pathophysiologic state in which the heart fails to meet the requirements of the metabolizing organs and tissues, or is able to do so only with an increased diastolic filling pressure. It is the symptom of a common syndrome among the elderly that causes significant morbidity and mortality both in developed and developing parts of the world. Frontiers In Heart Failure is a book series that focuses on issues in cardiology and therapeutic strategies employed to treat heart failure. The series attempts to integrate published data on heart failure research with current information about heart failure management techniques. Chapters in each volume are contributed by experts in cardiology, molecular biology and medical imaging. The series is a useful resource of updated information about various cardiomyopathies for medical researchers, imaging technicians, clinicians and postgraduates. Information presented in the series is also useful to working professionals in the field of nuclear medicine and nephrology.

Frontiers in Myocardia is an eBook series which compiles information about the structure and function of myocardial (the heart muscles) and includes updated reviews on the recent developments in the treatment of associated diseases such as angina, cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction. Each volume features reviews written by distinguished scientists and physicians from around the world. This series serves as a valuable reference for basic and clinical researchers involved in cardiology and critical care medicine.

Remarkable advances have been made in neurosurgical procedures such as spinal surgery, and treatment of certain conditions such as embolization of cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and stroke during the past decades. The technology for surgical procedures has also advanced rapidly giving rise to minimally invasive techniques. is an ebook series which triggers principle issues that still fuel debate in neurosurgery. The series is intended as a reference for practicing endovascular neurosurgeons, vascular neurosurgeons, interventional neurologists and neuroradiologists who have a solid knowledge of neural anatomy, surgery and neuroangiography.

Frontiers in Pain Science is a book series devoted to publishing the latest developments in pain research. Eminent scientists present reviews on the physiology, pharmacology, molecular and experimental biology of pain receptors and neuropathies relevant to pain. Additionally, the series also gives information about the development of new drugs designed to relieve pain. The book series is essential reading to all researchers involved in studying pain receptors and medicine.

Frontiers in Respiratory Medicine presents medical references on all topics related to respiratory medicine. Each volume presents thematic information on lung diseases, thoracic surgery and pulmonary therapy. The series is essential reading for medical professionals and researchers who wish to update their knowledge about recent advances in pulmonology and thoracic medicine.
