This book presents a wide overview of the Clostridium botulinum organism alongside the description of food borne botulism and the review of methods used to detect Clostridium botulinum in food. Clostridium botulinum produces extremely potent neurotoxins involved in severe paralytic illness called botulism. Starting from the history of Clostridium botulinum discovery, international experts on the topic explain the key steps involved in its neurotoxicity. Among the many topics presented is a study on the Botulism hazards from native foods prepared by inhabitants of Arctic regions. Other chapters explore experimental techniques and methods used to detect Botulinum in food, including principles of control of Clostridium botulinum, guidelines and codes of practice. New data or methods used to control Clostridium botulinum presence in meat, fish, in vegetable or in processed food are discussed.

This book, containing more than 200 cadaveric photos and 200 illustrations, aims to familiarize physicians practicing botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) and filler injection with the anatomy of the facial mimetic muscles, vessels, and soft tissues in order to enable them to achieve optimum cosmetic results while avoiding possible adverse events. Anatomic considerations of importance when administering BoNT-A and fillers are identified and in addition invaluable clinical guidelines are provided, highlighting, for example, the preferred injection points for BoNT-A and the adequate depth of filler injection. Unique insights are also offered into the differences between Asians and Caucasians with regard to relevant anatomy. The contributing authors include an anatomist who offers distinctive anatomic perspectives on BoNT-A and filler treatments and three expert physicians from different specialties, namely a dermatologist, a plastic surgeon, and a cosmetic physician, who share insights gained during extensive clinical experience in the use of BoNT-A and fillers.
