Biophysical Methods for Diagnosing Human Tissue Anomalies

Medical diagnosis of tissue anomalies, particularly cancer, is often limited by the constraints of current imaging technologies. This book introduces two approaches to address this issue: the imaging and the non-imaging methods. In the imaging category, the book unveils a pioneering technique based on radio tomosynthesis. Initially proven effective in detecting breast anomalies, this imaging method is now under evaluation for its potential in identifying brain anomalies. For non-imaging diagnostics, it delves into Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a technique known for its speed and reliability. The book demonstrates its successful application in diagnosing a range of cancers, including oral, uterine, ovarian, gastrointestinal, colorectal, and skin cancers. Furthermore, it explores its utility in predicting embryo quality and assessing pressure injuries. To augment these methods, the book employs machine learning algorithms, evaluating their efficacy in creating discriminative models for tissue anomalies.

An exploration of moral stress, distress, and injuries inherent in modern society through the maps that pervade academic and public communications worlds. In Ethics in Everyday Places, ethicist and geographer Tom Koch considers what happens when, as he puts it, “you do everything right but know you've done something wrong." The resulting moral stress and injury, he argues, are pervasive in modern Western society. Koch makes his argument "from the ground up," from the perspective of average persons, and through a revealing series of maps in which issues of ethics and morality are embedded. The book begins with a general grounding in both moral stress and mapping as a means of investigation....
