Book SynopsisThis book presents state-of-the-art blockchain and AI advances in health care. Healthcare service is increasingly creating the scope for blockchain and AI applications to enter the biomedical and healthcare world. Today, blockchain, AI, ML, and deep learning are affecting every domain. Through its cutting-edge applications, AI and ML are helping transform the healthcare industry for the better. Blockchain is a decentralization communication platform that has the potential to decentralize the way we store data and manage information. Blockchain technology has potential to reduce the role of middleman, one of the most important regulatory actors in our society. Transactions are simultaneously secure and trustworthy due to the use of cryptographic principles. In recent years, blockchain technology has become very trendy and has penetrated different domains, mostly due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies. One field where blockchain technology has tremendous potential is health care, due to the need for a more patient-centric approach in healthcare systems to connect disparate systems and to increase the accuracy of electronic healthcare records (EHRs).Table of ContentsMachine Learning for Drug Discovery and Manufacturing.- Knowledge Strategies Influencing on The Epidemiologists Performance of The Qeshm Island’s Health Centers.- Healthcare: In the Era of Blockchain.- Securing Healthcare records using Blockchain: Applications and Challenges.- Authentication Schemes For Healthcare Data Using Emerging Computing Technologies.- Biomedical data classification using fuzzy clustering.- Applications of Machine Learning in healthcare With a Case Study of Lung Cancer Detection Through Deep Learning Approach.- Fetal Health Status Prediction During Labor and Delivery Based on Cardiotocogram Data using Machine and Deep Learning.- Blockchain and AI: Disruptive Digital Technologies in Designing the Potential Growth of Healthcare Industries.- Recommendation Systems for Cancer Prognosis, Treatment and Wellness.- A Real Time Data Mining-Based Cancer Disease Classification Using KEGG Gene Dataset.- SOLUTION ARCHITECTING ON REMOTE MEDICAL MONITORING WITH AWS CLOA Domain Oriented Framework for Prediction of Diabetes Disease and Classification of Diet using Machine Learning TechniquesUD AND IOT.- An Accurate Swine Flu Prediction and Early Prediction Using Data Mining Technique

Book SynopsisThe range of roles in healthcare knowledge and library services are many and varied. From ‘traditional’ librarian roles to those that break new ground – including clinical, embedded and outreach librarians and knowledge managers – they are a vital ongoing support for this important sector.This work brings together health information practitioners and researchers with a variety of experience across health information work within knowledge and library services in the NHS. It provides a comprehensive, practitioner-focused introduction to all aspects of knowledge and library work in the health sector with a focus on NHS England. The book begins with an overview of the NHS and how knowledge and library work sit within it. It then addresses such critical areas as services supporting evidence-based practice, the developing area of health information literacy, reflective practice, collaborative working, demonstrating impact and employing digital technology. The book ends with an exploration of what the future might hold for healthcare knowledge and library services such as, the rapid advance of artificial intelligence/machine learning and how it might shape those services and knowledge specialist roles.Knowledge and library specialists offer a valuable gift to healthcare professionals – the ‘gift of time’ enabling them to make informed decisions which directly impact upon patient care. This timely book provides a valuable reference for anyone studying or looking to enter this relevant and diverse field.Table of ContentsForeword by Rob Webster1 An introduction to healthcare knowledge and library services - David Stewart and Gil Young2 Strategic development for healthcare knowledge and library services - Louise Goswami, Alison Day and Holly Case-Wyatt3 Exploring the training and development needs of the healthcare knowledge and library services workforce: a case study Dominic Gilroy and Catherine Mclaren4 Advocacy, and how Knowledge & Library Specialists Tailor Services to meet the Needs of their Stakeholders.

Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence Applications in Human Pathology deals with the latest topics in biomedical research and clinical cancer diagnostics. With chapters provided by true international experts in the field, this book gives real examples of the implementation of AI and machine learning in human pathology.Advances in machine learning and AI in general have propelled computational and general pathology research. Today, computer systems approach the diagnostic levels achieved by humans for certain well-defined tasks in pathology. At the same time, pathologists are faced with an increased workload both quantitatively (numbers of cases) and qualitatively (the amount of work per case, with increasing treatment options and the type of data delivered by pathologists also expected to become more fine-grained). AI will support and leverage mathematical tools and implement data-driven methods as a center for data interpretation in modern tissue diagnosis and pathology. Digital or computational pathology will also foster the training of future computational pathologists, those with both pathology and non-pathology backgrounds, who will eventually decide that AI-based pathology will serve as an indispensable hub for data-related research in a global health care system.Some of the specific topics explored within include an introduction to DL as applied to Pathology, Standardized Tissue Sampling for Automated Analysis, integrating Computational Pathology into Histopathology workflows. Readers will also find examples of specific techniques applied to specific diseases that will aid their research and treatments including but not limited to; Tissue Cartography for Colorectal Cancer, Ki-67 Measurements in Breast Cancer, and Light-Sheet Microscopy as applied to Virtual Histology.The key role for pathologists in tissue diagnostics will prevail and even expand through interdisciplinary work and the intuitive use of an advanced and interoperating (AI-supported) pathology workflow delivering novel and complex features that will serve the understanding of individual diseases and of course the patient.

Book SynopsisIn the past, our ideas of psychiatric hospitals and their history have been shaped by objects like straitjackets, cribs, and binding belts. These powerful objects were often used as a synonym for psychiatry and the way psychiatric patients were treated, yet very little is known about the agency of these objects and their appropriation by staff and patients. By focusing on material cultures, this book offers a new perspective on the history of psychiatry: it enables a narrative in which practicing psychiatry is part of a complex entanglement in which power is constantly negotiated. Scholars from different academic disciplines show how this material-based approach opens up new perspectives on the agency and imagination of men and women inside psychiatry.Trade Review"The transdisciplinary project has succeeded: The result is an outstanding volume with original contributions that advances the history of psychiatry and is also recommended for all those who are interested in the multifaceted work of objects."
