Handbook of Research on Trends in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions
Stemming from environmental, genetic, and situational factors, chronic disease is a critical concern in modern medicine. Managing treatment and controlling symptoms is imperative to the longevity and quality of life of patients with such diseases. The Handbook of Research on Trends in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions features current research on the diagnosis, monitoring, management, and treatment of recurring diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune disorders, and others. This handbook is intended for practitioners and researchers across various disciplines including, but not limited to, biology, biomedical engineering, computer science, and information and communication technologies. Aimed at identifying new disease determinants and the way in which new technologies can contribute to improved health outcomes, this handbook covers a variety of topics, including wearable and mobile technologies, capillaroscopy imaging, diagnostic and monitoring methods, and disease prediction modeling, among others.
Personalized Predictive Modeling in Type 1 Diabetes
Personalized Predictive Modeling in Diabetes features state-of-the-art methodologies and algorithmic approaches which have been applied to predictive modeling of glucose concentration, ranging from simple autoregressive models of the CGM time series to multivariate nonlinear regression techniques of machine learning. Developments in the field have been analyzed with respect to: (i) feature set (univariate or multivariate), (ii) regression technique (linear or non-linear), (iii) learning mechanism (batch or sequential), (iv) development and testing procedure and (v) scaling properties. In addition, simulation models of meal-derived glucose absorption and insulin dynamics and kinetics are cove...
Information Technology in Biomedicine
The fields of information technology and biomedicine have stood out for their rapid progress and effect on society. However, they have advanced and progressed largely independently. This book seamlessly integrates these emerging fields as they relate in managing and analyzing data or modeling biological processes. It covers computational biology, biosignal analysis, medical imaging, eHealth emerging technologies, and eHealth home monitoring services. Complemented with Web-based materials, the book will be of interest to computer scientists, engineers, physicists, physicians, and graduate students who are involved in information technology applications in medicine.
Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering
Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering Discover how multiscale modeling can enhance patient treatment and outcomes In Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering, an accomplished team of biomedical professionals delivers a robust treatment of the foundation and background of a general computational methodology for multi-scale modeling. The authors demonstrate how this methodology can be applied to various fields of biomedicine, with a particular focus on orthopedics and cardiovascular medicine. The book begins with a description of the relationship between multiscale modeling and systems biology before moving on to proceed systematically upwards in hierarchical levels from the mol...
Advances in Scattering and Biomedical Engineering
This volume consists of the papers presented at the 6th International Workshop on Scattering Theory and Biomedical Engineering. Organized every two years, this workshop provides an overview of the hot topics in scattering theory and biomedical technology, and brings together young researchers and senior scientists, creating a forum for the exchange of new scientific ideas. At the sixth meeting, all the invited speakers, who are recognized as being eminent in their field and, more important, as being stimulating speakers, presented their latest achievements. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings) • Ind...
