Personalized Health Systems for Cardiovascular Disease is intended
for researchers, developers, and designers in the field of
p-health, with a specific focus on management of cardiovascular
diseases. Biomedical engineers will benefit from coverage of
sensors, data transmission, signal processing, data analysis, home
and mobile applications, standards, and all other subject matters
developed in this book in order to provide an integrated view of
the different and multidisciplinary problems related to p-health
systems. However, many chapters will also be interesting to
physicians and other professionals who operate in the health
domain. Students, MS and PhD level, mainly in technical
universities, but also in medical schools, will find in this book a
complete view of the manifold aspects of p-health, including
technical problems related to sensors and software, to automatic
evaluation and correct interpretation of the data, and also some
legal and regulatory aspects. This book mainly focuses on the
development of technology used by people and patients in the
management of their own health. New wearable and implantable
devices allow a continuous monitoring of chronic patients, with a
direct involvement of clinical centers and physicians. Also,
healthy people are more and more interested in keeping their own
wellness under control, by adopting healthy lifestyles and
identifying any early sign of risk. This is leading to personalized
solutions via systems which are tailored to a specific
patient/person and her/ his needs. However, many problems are still
open when it comes to p-health systems. Which sensors and
parameters should be used? Which software and analysis? When and
how? How do you design an effective management plan for chronic
pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases? What is useful
feedback for the patient or for the clinician? And finally, what
are the limits of this approach? What is the view of physicians?
The purpose of this book is to provide, from a technical point of
view, a complete description of most of the elements which are part
of such systems, including the sensors and the hardware, the signal
processing and data management procedures, the classification and
stratification models, the standards and the regulations, focusing
on the state of the art and identifying the new directions for
innovative solutions. In this book, readers will find the
fundamental elements that must be taken into account when
developing devices and systems in the field of p-health.

Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.

Multiscale Biomechanical Modeling of the Brain discusses the
constitutive modeling of the brain at various length scales
(nanoscale, microscale, mesoscale, macroscale and structural
scale). In each scale, the book describes the state-of-the-
experimental and computational tools used to quantify critical
deformational information at each length scale. Then, at the
structural scale, several user-based constitutive material models
are presented, along with real-world boundary value problems.
Lastly, design and optimization concepts are presented for use in
occupant-centric design frameworks. This book is useful for both
academia and industry applications that cover basic science aspects
or applied research in head and brain protection. The multiscale
approach to this topic is unique, and not found in other books. It
includes meticulously selected materials that aim to connect the
mechanistic analysis of the brain tissue at size scales ranging
from subcellular to organ levels.
