As science continues to advance, researchers are continually
gaining new insights into the way living beings behave and
function, and into the composition of the smallest molecules. Most
of these biological processes have been imitated by many scientific
disciplines with the purpose of trying to solve different problems,
one of which is artificial intelligence.""Advancing Artificial
Intelligence through Biological Process Applications"" presents
recent advances in the study of certain biological processes
related to information processing that are applied to artificial
intelligence. Describing the benefits of recently discovered and
existing techniques to adaptive artificial intelligence and
biology, this book will be a highly valued addition to libraries in
the neuroscience, molecular biology, and behavioral science
spheres.
Foundations of Colorectal Cancer provides a holistic and
comprehensive dive into colorectal cancer, discussing the
contributions of each discipline that studies it, allowing its
understanding from the most demographic and ethical facts, to the
treatment process, its varieties and genetic background. Written by
experts in diverse areas such as cancer research, oncology,
genetics, biochemistry, psychology, social sciences, bioinformatics
and palliative care, the book brings real-world experiences to help
readers with any challenge they may face when dealing with patients
or during their research workflow. The content is split into nine
sections: Clinical manifestations and disease detection, covering
primary and secondary prevention, and the role of primary care;
Diagnosis and staging, discussing endoscopy, colonoscopy, molecular
pathology, and anatomopathological diagnosis; Treatment, including
endoscopic, surgical, radiological, and postoperative approaches;
Molecular and biological mechanisms, with the role of intestinal
microbiota, stem cells and signaling pathways; New diagnostic
methods, encompassing biomarkers and bioinformatics tools for
research; Biobanks, with an overview of their regulations and
importance in the research; Epidemiological studies, focusing on
incidence and mortality globally and by regions; Hereditary
colorectal cancer, differentiating nonpolyposis and polyposis
types; and Addressing the consequences of colorectal cancer,
covering psychological effects, nutrition and ethical issues.
