This book covers the most recent developments in the field of
osteochondral tissue engineering (OCTE) and covers in detail the
concepts and current challenges for bone and cartilage repair and
regeneration. Specific topics include viscosupplementation,
biologicals, tissue engineering approaches, in vitro and in vivo
models, and technological advances with stem cells, bioreactors,
and microfluidics. Osteochondral Tissue Engineering: Challenges,
Current Strategies, and Technological Advances presents challenges
and strategies in the field of osteochondral regeneration and
serves as a core reference for biomedical engineering students and
a wide range of established researchers and professionals working
in orthopedics.
This comprehensive book focuses on better big-data security for
healthcare organizations. Following an extensive introduction to
the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare including challenging
topics and scenarios, it offers an in-depth analysis of medical
body area networks with the 5th generation of IoT communication
technology along with its nanotechnology. It also describes a novel
strategic framework and computationally intelligent model to
measure possible security vulnerabilities in the context of
e-health. Moreover, the book addresses healthcare systems that
handle large volumes of data driven by patients' records and
health/personal information, including big-data-based knowledge
management systems to support clinical decisions. Several of the
issues faced in storing/processing big data are presented along
with the available tools, technologies and algorithms to deal with
those problems as well as a case study in healthcare analytics.
Addressing trust, privacy, and security issues as well as the IoT
and big-data challenges, the book highlights the advances in the
field to guide engineers developing different IoT devices and
evaluating the performance of different IoT techniques.
Additionally, it explores the impact of such technologies on
public, private, community, and hybrid scenarios in healthcare.
This book offers professionals, scientists and engineers the latest
technologies, techniques, and strategies for IoT and big data.
The goal of this book is to provide, in a friendly and refreshing
manner, both theoretical concepts and practical techniques for the
important and exciting field of Artificial Intelligence that can be
directly applied to real-world healthcare problems. Healthcare -
the final frontier. Lately, it seems like Pandora opened the box
and evil was released into the world. Fortunately, there was one
thing left in the box: hope. In recent decades, hope has been
increasingly represented by Intelligent Decision Support Systems.
Their continuing mission: to explore strange new diseases, to seek
out new treatments and drugs, and to intelligently manage
healthcare resources and patients. Hence, this book is designed for
all those who wish to learn how to explore, analyze and find new
solutions for the most challenging domain of all time: healthcare.
This handbook covers Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, which
enable the storage, management, and sharing of massive amounts of
demographic, diagnosis, medication, and genomic information. It
presents privacy-preserving methods for medical data, ranging from
laboratory test results to doctors' comments. The reuse of EMR data
can greatly benefit medical science and practice, but must be
performed in a privacy-preserving way according to data sharing
policies and regulations. Written by world-renowned leaders in this
field, each chapter offers a survey of a research direction or a
solution to problems in established and emerging research areas.
The authors explore scenarios and techniques for facilitating the
anonymization of different types of medical data, as well as
various data mining tasks. Other chapters present methods for
emerging data privacy applications and medical text
de-identification, including detailed surveys of deployed systems.
A part of the book is devoted to legislative and policy issues,
reporting on the US and EU privacy legislation and the cost of
privacy breaches in the healthcare domain. This reference is
intended for professionals, researchers and advanced-level students
interested in safeguarding medical data.
The application of bioinformatics approaches in drug design
involves an interdisciplinary array of sophisticated techniques and
software tools to elucidate hidden or complex biological data. This
work reviews the latest bioinformatics approaches used for drug
discovery. The text covers ligand-based and structure-based
approaches for computer-aided drug design, 3D pharmacophore
modeling, molecular dynamics simulation, the thermodynamics of
ligand receptor and ligand enzyme association, thermodynamic
characterization and optimization, and techniques for computational
genomics and proteomics.
This book highlights the latest advances in the application of
artificial intelligence to healthcare and medicine. It gathers
selected papers presented at the 2019 Health Intelligence workshop,
which was jointly held with the Association for the Advancement of
Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) annual conference, and presents an
overview of the central issues, challenges, and potential
opportunities in the field, along with new research results. By
addressing a wide range of practical applications, the book makes
the emerging topics of digital health and precision medicine
accessible to a broad readership. Further, it offers an essential
source of information for scientists, researchers, students,
industry professionals, national and international public health
agencies, and NGOs interested in the theory and practice of digital
and precision medicine and health, with an emphasis on risk factors
in connection with disease prevention, diagnosis, and intervention.
