This book provides an invaluable framework and basis for thinking about chronic pain and the potential for its prevention in public health terms.
Yoga is many things to many people. However, the basics of yoga are worth understanding given its popularity and the benefits of the practice. This includes understanding yoga's roots, its origins, its development within and outside India as well as the research involving yoga as an integrative therapeutic modality. The author introduces the topic of yoga to healthcare officials, practitioners, skeptics, and a range of curious people in between. For yoga practitioners and those interested in the practice, The Politics and Promise of Yoga: Contemporary Relevance of an Ancient Practice outlines a condensed view of traditional yoga practices and provides a glimpse into the origin of yoga within Indian history and philosophy. The author hopes that policymakers will be interested in this evidence-based scientific practice so that it can be systematically incorporated into mainstream biomedical systems around the globe. This book also serves to confirm existing knowledge and historical nuances about yoga and also addresses contemporary debates and politics which revolve around the practice.
Low back pain affects nearly everyone and has become an increasingly frustrating dilemma. People with back pain have been taken through a well-meaning, yet ineffective medical system and emerge no better, and in many cases worse. This does not have to be. We can do better. This book seeks to clarify the historical back pain enigma and dispel the myths around common diagnoses and treatments. The reader will gain insight into back pain and reassurance that there is a better way. Suggestions for patients and clinicians are given in a practical, simple way to improve care and their back pain. This book does not promise a miracle cure, but instead presents the most recent medical research in a clearly digestible manner. The reader will be reassured, entertained, and sent on their way to a healthier life, and a better back.
Data-driven science has become a major decision-making aid for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Computational and visual analytics enables effective exploration and sense making of large and complex data through the deployment of appropriate data science methods, meaningful visualisation and human-information interaction. This edited volume covers state-of-the-art theory, method, models, design, evaluation and applications in computational and visual analytics in desktop, mobile and immersive environments for analysing biomedical and health data. The book is focused on data-driven integral analysis, including computational methods and visual analytics practices and solutions for discovering actionable knowledge in support of clinical actions in real environments. By studying how data and visual analytics have been implemented into the healthcare domain, the book demonstrates how analytics influences the domain through improving decision making, specifying diagnostics, selecting the best treatments and generating clinical certainty.
Explaining the what, the how and the why of climate science, this multidisciplinary new book provides a review of research from the last decade, illustrated with cutting-edge data and observations. A key focus is the development of analysis tools that can be used to demonstrate options for mitigating and adapting to increasing climate risks. Emphasis is given to the importance of Earth system feedback mechanisms and the role of the biosphere. The book explains advances in modelling, process understanding and observations, and the development of consistent and coherent studies of past, present and 'possible' climates. This highly illustrated, data-rich book is written by leading scientists involved in QUEST, a major UK-led research programme. It forms a concise and up-to-date reference for academic researchers or students in the fields of climatology, Earth system science and ecology, and also a vital resource for professionals and policymakers working on any aspect of global change.
"Digital therapeutics (DTx) is a dynamic, emerging subcategory within the larger supercategory field of 'digital health' or 'digital medicine'. As defined by the nonprofit trade group, Digital Therapeutics Alliance, "DTx deliver clinical-grade therapeutic interventions to patients [that] may be used independently or in tandem with in-person or remote clinician-delivered therapy to optimize patient outcomes." In this new book, three expert editors have enlisted the support of contributors to explain what DTx represents (and how it differs from other digital health solutions), how DTX solutions can help individuals and their healthcare providers meet their health goals, and how DTx tools can be conceptualized, created, and brought to market"--

Based on extensive research, this book offers an understanding of the briefing process and its importance to the built environment. The text is illustrated by nine excellent examples of effective practice as well as five model briefs and invaluable process charts.
An in-depth analysis of complex clinical situations involving multiple concurrent diseases, this book reviews the clinical presentation and management of interactions among medical conditions, including myofascial pain, headache, fibromyalgia, visceral pain, hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis, low back pain, obesity, depression, and anxiety. This is a must-have volume for clinicians who treat chronic pain patients, general practitioners, clinical psychologists, medical students, nurses, and clinical investigators.
Every two years, the International Association for the Study of Pain publishes a compendium of benchmark papers that summarize the current status of pain research, treatment, and management throughout the world. Presented at the 15th World Congress on Pain in Buenos Aires in October 2014, these papers represent the thinking of the world's top pain scientists and clinicians. IASP distributes this book to participants in the Refresher Courses, and it is now available to pain researchers and clinicians who were unable to attend the Congress.
