Computational intelligence techniques are gaining momentum in the
medical prognosis and diagnosis. This volume presents advanced
applications of machine intelligence in medicine and bio-medical
engineering. Applied methods include knowledge bases, expert
systems, neural networks, neuro-fuzzy systems, evolvable systems,
wavelet transforms, and specific internet applications. The volume
is written in view of explaining to the practitioner the
fundamental issues related to computational intelligence paradigms
and to offer a fast and friendly-managed introduction to the most
recent methods based on computer intelligence in medicine.

A veil of darkness shrouds Indian political discourse with respect
to the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Its genesis can be traced to
Jawaharlal Nehru's decision to extract J&K from Sardar Patel's
mission to integrate the Princely States with the fledgling
Dominion of India. Nehru's subsequent inability to manage the war
with Pakistan in the face of the duplicitous manoeuvrings of Louis
Mountbatten whom he imprudently appointed as Governor General of
India and chairman of the Defence Committee, waffling in the face
of the steely British backroom diplomacy at the UN Security
Council, and above all, abject surrender to the intractable Sheikh
Mohammad Abdullah whom he had unleashed upon the hapless Maharaja
Hari Singh and his subjects, have bequeathed a bitter legacy. The
forced abdication of Hari Singh and the invidious Article 370
(followed by Article 35-A) paved the way for the sustained
marginalisation of Jammu and Ladakh provinces and hence of the
Hindu and Buddhist populace of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. This road
led inexorably to the rise of separatism and fundamentalism and the
brutal exodus of the Kashmiri Pandit community in 1989-90. The
Nehruvian paradigm has so dominated the public discourse that few
have dared to see Jammu and Kashmir outside the framework of
Hindu-Muslim relations or India-Pakistan relations. This is a
wholly artificial construct. Had the State been allowed to accede
to India in the manner of other Princely States, it might have
emerged as just a border State with a significant Muslim majority
in the Kashmir Valley. Nehru's "communal award" to Sheikh Abdullah
has proved far more lethal than that of Ramsay Macdonald. The
current demand to revive the old abomination and designate the
chief minister of the State as "prime minister" is the logical
outcome of this mindset that insists upon special weightage for one
community. For the Indian nation-state, this is a decisive
crossroad.
The new edition of this practical manual has been fully revised to
provide trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology with the latest
information and guidelines to help them prepare for examinations.
Presented in question and answer format, the book is divided into
five sections - Obstetrics, Surgical Requisites, Problem-based
Management, Family Welfare. The final section covers miscellaneous
topics such as definitions, anaesthetic techniques, fluids and
electrolytes, preparation for MRCOG exams, classifications, and
FIGO staging. The second edition features many new topics including
foetal aneuploidy screening, obstetric drills, maternal
resuscitation, and recent FIGO staging for gynaecologic cancers.
The text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams
and tables, and includes questions often asked in Viva Voce
examinations. Key points Fully revised, new edition providing
trainees with latest developments in obstetrics and gynaecology
Presented in question and answer format Includes questions
