Of the three physicians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn,
Doctor George Edwin Lord (1846-76) was the lone commissioned
medical officer, an assistant surgeon with the United States Army's
7th Cavalry-one more soldier caught up in the U.S. government's
efforts to fulfill what many people believed was the young
country's "Manifest Destiny." A Life Cut Short at the Little Big
Horn tells Lord's story for the first time. Notable for its unique
angle on Custer's last stand and for its depiction of frontier-era
medicine, the book is above all a compelling portrait of the making
of an army medical professional in mid-nineteenth-century America.
Drawing on newly discovered documents, Todd E. Harburn describes
Lord's education and training at Bowdoin College in Maine and the
Chicago Medical College, detailing what the study of medicine
entailed at the time for "a young man of promise . . . held in
universal esteem." Lord's time as a contract physician with the
army took him in 1874 to the U.S. Northern Boundary Survey. From
there Harburn recounts how, after a failed romance and the rigors
of the U.S. Army Medical Board examination, the young doctor
proceeded to his first-and only-appointment as a post surgeon, at
Fort Buford in Dakota Territory. What followed, of course, was
Lord's service, and his death, in the Little Big Horn campaign,
which this book shows us for the first time from the unique
perspective of the surgeon. A portrait of a singular figure in the
milieu of the American military's nineteenth-century medical elite,
A Life Cut Short at the Little Big Horn offers a close look at a
familiar chapter in U.S. history, and a reminder of the humanity
lost in a battle that resonates to this day.
Within the past decade, we have witnessed an increased adoption of
emerging technologies as well as the exponential pace of scientific
discoveries within all industries. The level of digital innovation
and digital transformation experienced in healthcare and life
sciences has been markedly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is a new sense of urgency to design and develop a new global
health ecosystem that is more suitable for the digital era and
future generations. Deploying precision medicine solutions that can
redefine the way we diagnose and treat disease, as well as shift
the focus towards a customized human-centered approach, such as
those offered by personalized medicine, can be a viable sustainable
model. Digital Identity in the New Era of Personalized Medicine
highlights the latest trends in precision medicine and the
important role digital identity plays in upholding ethical values,
safeguarding human rights, and practicing responsible personalized
medicine. It provides an overview of the current healthcare legal
and regulatory landscapes as well as some of the major challenges
and opportunities we face in this digital, virtual, and precision
medicine-powered era. Covering topics such as data-centric
compliance, global health, and identity management, this book is an
essential resource for doctors, healthcare administration,
academicians, clinicians, health and bio-tech executives,
researchers, medical professionals, medical engineers, medical
students, and government officials looking for a resource that
addresses challenges in healthcare including trust, privacy, data
integrity, and ownership.
Successful communication can help to prevent health problems,
promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles, and overcome health
challenges. However, various issues have created obstacles for the
promotion of health communication, including low health literacy,
the reluctance of patients to admit their lack of understanding,
the overestimation by health professionals of a patient's level of
understanding, and insufficient health literacy tools, to name a
few. It is thus essential to convey the latest communication models
and practices being used to increase health literacy and provide
adequate health information to society. Health Communication Models
and Practices in Interpersonal and Media Contexts: Emerging
Research and Opportunities explores and analyzes the fundamentals,
models, and dimensions of health communication and offers practical
solutions for better communications with direct outcomes in the
optimization of citizens' health literacy. The book also discusses
and proposes more effective health communication models and
practices as a tool for the construction of more solid and evident
health outcomes. Covering topics such as cancer prevention, health
professionals' communication, and models of health communication,
this text is essential for health professionals, communication
professionals, professors, teachers, researchers, academicians, and
students.
Nowadays, Virtual Reality (VR) is commonly used in various
applications including entertainment, education and training,
manufacturing, medical and rehabilitation. VR not only provides
immersive stereoscopic visualization of virtual environments and
the visualization effect and computer graphics are critical to
enhancing the engagement of participants and thus increases
education and training effectiveness. Nevertheless, constructing
realistic 3D models and scenarios for a specific application of VR
simulation is not an easy task. There are many different tools for
3D modelling such as ZBrush, Blender, SketchUp, AutoCAD,
SolidWorks, 3Ds Max, Maya, Rhino3D, CATIA, and more. Many of the
modelling tools are very professional and used for manufacturing
and product design application. The advanced features and functions
may not be applicable to different levels of users and various
specialization. This book explores the application of virtual
reality in healthcare settings. This includes 3D modelling
techniques, texturing, assigning material, and more. It allows for
not only modelling and rendering techniques, but modelling,
dressing, and animation in healthcare applications. The potential
