A DAVIS NOTES BOOK This handy, pocket-sized guide by Marjory
Gordon uses functional health patterns to help your students
acquire the most relevant assessment data to determine nursing
diagnoses, and to select the most appropriate nursing
interventions--emphasizing the essential connection between
diagnostic judgment and therapeutic judgment.
This volume presents several machine intelligence technologies,
developed over recent decades, and illustrates how they can be
combined in application. One application, the detection of dementia
from patterns in speech, is used throughout to illustrate these
combinations. This application is a classic stationary pattern
detection task, so readers may easily see how these combinations
can be applied to other similar tasks. The expositions of the
methods are supported by the basic theory they rest upon, and their
application is clearly illustrated. The book's goal is to allow
readers to select one or more of these methods to quickly apply to
their own tasks. Includes a variety of machine intelligent
technologies and illustrates how they can work together Shows
evolutionary feature subset selection combined with support vector
machines and multiple classifiers combined Includes a running case
study on intelligent processing relating to Alzheimer's / dementia
detection, in addition to several applications of the machine
hybrid algorithms
Before the modern age of medicine, the chance of surviving a
terminal disease such as cancer was minimal at best. After
embracing the age of computer-aided medical analysis technologies,
however, detecting and preventing individuals from contracting a
variety of life-threatening diseases has led to a greater survival
percentage and increased the development of algorithmic
technologies in healthcare. Deep Learning Applications in Medical
Imaging is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research
on the application of generating pictorial depictions of the
interior of a body for medical intervention and clinical analysis.
While highlighting topics such as artificial neural networks,
disease prediction, and healthcare analysis, this publication
explores image acquisition and pattern recognition as well as the
methods of treatment and care. This book is ideally designed for
diagnosticians, medical imaging specialists, healthcare
professionals, physicians, medical researchers, academicians, and
students.
Mastering each aspect of the patient interview and physical exam is
fundamental to medical education, resulting in more accurate
diagnostic skills, more effective patient management, and better
patient outcomes! Dr. Swartz's Textbook of Physical Diagnosis is a
highly respected reference in this critical area, offering a
compassionate, humanistic approach to the art and science of
interviewing and physical examination. From cover to cover, you'll
learn how your interpersonal awareness is just as important in
physical diagnosis as your level of skill - and why clinical
competence in this area is essential for physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, and all members of the
healthcare profession. Explores how cultural differences can
influence communication, diet, family relationships, and health
practices and beliefs - which may affect your approach to a
patient's treatment. Features hundreds of high-quality color
images, an easy-to-use design, and detailed descriptions of
practical techniques throughout. Offers clear, easy-to-understand
explanations of interviewing and examination techniques, clinical
presentations, pathophysiology, complementary and alternative
medicine, and physical diagnosis standards and tests. All chapters
completely reviewed and revised. Features a new chapter on
deconstructing racism and bias in clinical medicine. Provides
expanded coverage of the musculoskeletal system with more specialty
examinations of joints. Emphasizes precision, accuracy, and
critical thinking in clinical assessment. Highlights clinical
ethics and professionalism. Includes more than 6 hours of in-depth
video, featuring step-by-step key aspects of the physical
examination for adults, toddlers, and newborns, important
interviewing scenarios, and audio of heart and lung sounds.
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook
allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from
the book on a variety of devices.
