This book is a comprehensive guide to psychiatry for undergraduate
medical students. Beginning with an introduction to the field, the
next chapters discuss biological sciences, psychosocial sciences,
and classification and evaluation. The following sections cover the
diagnosis and treatment of numerous psychiatric disorders,
including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar and other mood
disorders, OCD, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and many more.
All sectors of the population are covered, from children and
adolescents, to geriatrics, and a complete chapter is dedicated to
culture bound syndromes (a combination of psychiatric and somatic
symptoms that are considered to be a recognisable disease only
within a specific society or culture). The book concludes with
discussion on psychopharmacology and psychotherapies, legal and
ethical issues, community and preventive psychiatry, and the
history and future of the field. Key points Practical guide to

It is becoming increasingly important to design and develop
adaptive, robust, scalable, reliable, security and privacy
mechanisms for IoT applications and for Industry 4.0 related
concerns. This book serves as a useful guide for researchers and
industry professionals and will help beginners to learn the basics
to the more advanced topics. Along with exploring security and
privacy issues through the IoT ecosystem and examining its
implications to the real-world, this book addresses cryptographic
tools and techniques and presents the basic and high-level concepts
that can serve as guidance for those in the industry as well as
help beginners get a handle on both the basic and advanced aspects
of security related issues. The book goes on to cover major
challenges, issues, and advances in IoT and discusses data
processing as well as applications for solutions, and assists in
developing self-adaptive cyberphysical security systems that will
help with issues brought about by new technologies within IoT and
Industry 4.0. This edited book discusses the evolution of IoT and
Industry 4.0 and brings security and privacy related technological
tools and techniques onto a single platform so that researchers,
industry professionals, graduate, postgraduate students, and
academicians can easily understand the security, privacy,
challenges and opportunity concepts and make then ready to use for
applications in IoT and Industry 4.0.
Systems and Signal Processing of Capnography as a Diagnostic Tool
for Asthma Assessment provides a comprehensive overview of
groundbreaking tools and techniques for the diagnosis and
monitoring of asthma. Sections cover an introduction to the human
respiratory system and the pathophysiology of asthma before
analyzing current assessment concepts, tools and techniques. The
book describes spirometry and the peak flow meter as existing tools
in assessing asthma along with their limitations. In addition, a
detailed description of capnography as a new approach is included
with various studies conducted on its analysis. Academicians and
researchers in biomedical engineering, particularly in the course
of biomedical signal processing and biomedical instrumentation will
find the book useful.
