Appointments generally last only a few minutes, with scarce time for the doctor to connect to a patient's story, or explain how and why different procedures and treatments might be undertaken. As a result, errors abound: indeed, misdiagnosis is the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States, trailing only heart disease, cancer, and stroke. This is because, despite having access to more resources than ever, doctors are vulnerable not just to the economic demand to see more patients, but to distraction, burnout, data overload, and their own intrinsic biases. Physicians are simply overmatched. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Eric Topol argues in \u003ci\u003eDeep Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e, artificial intelligence can help. Natural-language processing could automatically record notes from our doctor visits; virtual psychiatrists could better predict the risk of suicide or other mental health issues for vulnerable patients; deep-learning software will make every physician a master diagnostician; and we could even use smartphone apps to take our own medical \"selfies\" for skin exams and receive immediate analysis. . On top of that, the virtual smartphone assistants of today--Alexa, Siri, Cortana--could analyze our daily health data to reduce the need for doctor visits and trips to the emergency room, and support for people suffering from asthma, epilepsy, and heart disease. By integrating tools like these into their daily medical practice, doctors would be able to spend less time collecting and cataloging information, and more time providing thorough, intimate, and meaningful care for their patients, as no machine can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtificial intelligence can also help remedy the debilitating cost of healthcare, both for individuals and the economy writ large. The medical sector now absorbs 20 percent of the US gross domestic product--it is largest sector by dollars and jobs. And it's very inefficient. Take the cost of medical scans: There are over 20 million medical scans performed in the US every day, and an MRI, for example, costs hundreds to thousands of dollars. AI could process 260 million medical scans (more than 2 weeks' worth) in less than 24 hours for a cost of only $1000. We pay billions and billions of dollars for the same work today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe American health care system needs a serious reboot, and artificial intelligence is just the thing to press the restart button. As innovative as it is hopeful, \u003ci\u003eDeep Medicine \u003c\/i\u003eultimately shows us how we can leverage artificial intelligence for better care at lower costs with more empathy, for the benefit of patients and physicians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867547939159,"sku":"9781541644632","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781541644632.jpg?v=1722283814"},{"product_id":"difficult-airway-management-case-studies-9781913755362","title":"Difficult Airway Management: Case Studies","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatients with difficult airways represent a clinical conundrum for anaesthetists.

One of the drivers of this advancement is the development of ultrasound phased arrays, which, although more complex and costly than the traditional single focused bowl transducers used in earlier studies, are capable of electronically controlled dynamic focusing. Such systems not only steer a single focus without movement of the array itself, but can also generate several foci simultaneously and create focal regions with complex configurations. This book addresses the design, research and development, and medical applications of both relatively small HIFU arrays that can be inserted into body cavities (so called linear arrays) and larger two dimensional arrays for extracorporeal use. A key safety issue in the design of these arrays is to ensure that only targeted tissue is exposed to high levels of acoustic intensity and in this regard, this book highlights the advantages of designs involving spatial randomization of array elements to reduce the level of potentially dangerous grating lobes. In particular, phased arrays with a random distribution of elements are discussed and compared to regular arrays, and methods for calculating ultrasound fields generated by different phased arrays including the generation of multiple simultaneous foci and focal regions with complex geometrical shapes are presented. A detailed discussion of the influence of the dimensions, number, and shape of individual elements, errors in phase setting at the elements, and the frequency modulation of the signal on the quality of the intensity distributions produced by random arrays is included.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887142383959,"sku":"9781633216150","price":159.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781633216150.jpg?v=1722543206"},{"product_id":"sclerotherapy-procedures-potential-complications-and-clinical-outcomes-9781633216198","title":"Sclerotherapy: Procedures, Potential","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887142580567,"sku":"9781633216198","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"forensic-arts-therapies-anthology-of-practice-and-research-9781853432194","title":"Forensic Arts Therapies: Anthology of Practice","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe field of forensic arts therapies is dynamic and diverse, and so this unique volume covers a fascinating range of work.

It can also be used easily by health care workers (and carers) who are not qualified in any therapies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy discussing principles which may influence the effectiveness of touch and relaxation therapies, the book emphasises that there are 'easy' approaches that can be utilised when working with distressed and vulnerable patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy developing an understanding of touch, aromas and the sound of the human voice, \u003ci\u003eCombining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care\u003c\/i\u003e guides practitioners in helping their patients achieve a state of relaxation and calm as quickly and easily as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith this book, Ann has created a wonderful fusion of knowledge and narrative. She offers the reader a clear rationale as to why she incorporated each aspect of HEARTS into her practice. She leads us on a journey, showing the evolution of this precious technique, illustrating with case studies at every stage.  Fantastic! -- Jacqui Stringer, Clinical Lead for Tissue Viability and Complementary Health \u0026amp; Wellbeing, Christie NHS Trust\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Ann Carter masterly explains and illustrates the entire HEARTS process for professional users from a theoretical to a practical point of view. As HEARTS undoubtedly is a multisensorial technique much needed in these challenging times for the supportive care within the healthcare system, this is a must-read informative book for nurses and therapists working in cancer settings and palliative care. Excellent! -- Jonathan Benavides, Clinical aromatherapist, director Essentia Nobilis, HEARTS teacher, educator, counsellor\u003cbr\u003eThis is a helpful book for anyone who is dealing with cancer patients or the chronically ill who would like to give them some gentle touch therapy to alleviate pain and to nurture the emotions and spirits of the receiver. In fact it would be very pleasant for anyone to receive or to give. I hope HEARTS will contribute to more merit being given to touch therapy in general. -- Rachel Nicolle FwSS * Shiatsu Health Point *","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49413701632343,"sku":"9781848193529","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848193529.jpg?v=1730521095"},{"product_id":"cardiovascular-monitoring-9781861560056","title":"Cardiovascular Monitoring","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis text provides an examination of the monitoring of cardiac rhythms.
