Imagine a time when a killer disease took lives at a rate rivaling
Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021, and continued that grim harvest year
after year, decade after decade. Such a nightmare scenario played
out in the state of Arkansas-and across the United
States-throughout the nineteenth century and well into the
twentieth, when the scourge of tuberculosis afflicted populations.
Stalking the Great Killer is the gripping story of Arkansas's
struggle to control tuberculosis, and how eventually the state
became a model in its effective treatment of the disease. To place
the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective,
the authors trace the origins of the disease back to the Stone Age.
As they explain, it became increasingly lethal in the nineteenth
century, particularly in Europe and North America. Among U.S.
states, Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease,
and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's
medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control
it. In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a
state-owned sanitarium in the northwestern town of Booneville and,
thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitarium outside Little
Rock. These institutions helped slow the "Great Killer" but at a
terrible cost: removed from families and communities, patients
suffered from the trauma of isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when
he personally delivered an uncle to the Booneville sanitarium as a
teen in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now himself a physician,
and his physician colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant
medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the
disease without the necessity of prolonged isolation. This
approach, consisting of brief hospitalization followed by
outpatient treatment, became the standard of care for the disease.
Americans today, having gained control of the disease in the United
States, seldom look back. Yet, in the age of the Covid-19 pandemic,
this compelling history, based on extensive research and eyewitness
testimony, offers valuable lessons for the present about community
involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of
public-private partnerships, and the importance of forward-thinking
leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) allows clinicians to monitor
patients remotely via a network of wearable or implantable devices.
The devices are embedded with software or sensors to enable them to
send and receive data via the internet so that healthcare
professionals can monitor health data such as vital statistics,
metabolic rates or drug delivery regimens, and can provide advice
or treatment plans based on this real-world, real-time data. This
edited book discusses key IoT technologies that facilitate and
enhance this process, such as computer algorithms, network
architecture, wireless communications, and network security.
Providing a systemic review of trends, challenges and future
directions of IoMT technologies, the book examines applications
such as breast cancer monitoring systems, patient-centric systems
for handling, tracking and monitoring virus variants, and
video-based solutions for monitoring babies. The book discusses
machine learning techniques for the management of clinical data and
includes security issues such as the use of blockchain technology.
Written by a range of international researchers, this book is a
great resource for computer engineering researchers and
practitioners in the fields of data mining, machine learning,
artificial intelligence and the IoT in the healthcare sector.
This book presents current and emerging knowledge related to the
exceptional situation, the aftermath of COVID-19, which has
impacted all aspects of human existence. These chapters relate to
current and planned research studies on the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on education. The questions answered are related to how
the pandemic has changed the practices of education, for better or
for worse, and to whether the pandemic has triggered a paradigm
shift in the future of education and thus the current practices
will become a "new normal." This book gathers both national and
international feedback and experiences related to teaching,
learning, assessing, conducting research, and policy making in
various fields of education during and post COVID-19 pandemic to
provide a wholistic view to the different players in the education
sector in order to have tangible data that will, hopefully, help in
taking the right decisions.
The medical domain is home to many critical challenges that stand
to be overcome with the use of data-driven clinical decision
support systems (CDSS), and there is a growing set of examples of
automated diagnosis, prognosis, drug design, and testing. However,
the current state of AI in medicine has been summarized as "high on
promise and relatively low on data and proof." If such problems can
be addressed, a data-driven approach will be very important to the
future of CDSSs as it simplifies the knowledge acquisition and
maintenance process, a process that is time-consuming and requires
considerable human effort. Diverse Perspectives and
State-of-the-Art Approaches to the Utilization of Data-Driven
Clinical Decision Support Systems critically reflects on the
challenges that data-driven CDSSs must address to become mainstream
healthcare systems rather than a small set of exemplars of what
might be possible. It further identifies evidence-based, successful
data-driven CDSSs. Covering topics such as automated planning,
diagnostic systems, and explainable artificial intelligence, this
premier reference source is an excellent resource for medical
professionals, healthcare administrators, IT managers, pharmacists,
students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers,
and academicians.
