    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Translational research is essential to the advancement of medicine. Thisï¿1⁄2Cardiothoracic-specific instructional guide to translational medical research serves as a practical, step-by-step roadmap for taking a biomedical device, potential therapeutic agent, or research question from idea through demonstrated clinical benefit. Fundamentally, the volume aims to help bridge the gap between current research and practice. Written by a team of expert medical, biomedical engineering, and clinical research experts inï¿1⁄2cardiothoracic surgery,ï¿1⁄2thisï¿1⁄2volume provides a clear process for understanding, designing, executing, and analyzing clinical and translational researchï¿1⁄2within the field.
