Accelerated Path to Cures provides a transformative perspective on the power of combining advanced computational technologies, modeling, bioinformatics and machine learning approaches with nonclinical and clinical experimentation to accelerate drug development. This book discusses the application of advanced modeling technologies, from target identification and validation to nonclinical studies in animals to Phase 1-3 human clinical trials and post-approval monitoring, as alternative models of drug development. As a case of successful integration of computational modeling and drug development, we discuss the development of oral small molecule therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease, from the application of docking studies to screening new chemical entities to the development of next-generation in silico human clinical trials from large-scale clinical data. Additionally, this book illustrates how modeling techniques, machine learning, and informatics can be utilized effectively at each stage of drug development to advance the progress towards predictive, preventive, personalized, precision medicine, and thus provide a successful framework for Path to Cures.
This book contains up-to-date noninvasive monitoring and diagnosing systems closely developed by a set of scientists, engineers, and physicians. The chapters are the results of different biomedical projects and theoretical studies that were coupled by simulations and real-world data. Non-Invasive Health Systems based on Advanced Biomedical Signal and Image Processing provides a multifaceted view of various biomedical and clinical approaches to health monitoring systems. The authors introduce advanced signal- and image-processing techniques as well as other noninvasive monitoring and diagnostic systems such as inertial sensors in wearable devices and novel algorithm-based hybrid learning syst...
In 1996, and with extraordinary prescience, Panfilov and Holden had highlighted in their seminal book 'Computational Biology of the Heart' that biology was, potentially, the most mathematical of all sciences. Fast-forward 20 years and we have seen an explotion of applications of mathematics in not only biology, but healthcare that has already produced significant breakthroughs not imaginable more than 20 years ago. Great strides have been made in explaining through quantitative methods the underlying mechanisms of human disease, not without considerable ingenuity and effort. Biological mechanisms are bewildering: complex, ever evolving, multi-scale, variable, difficult to fully access and un...
Holistic, functional, integrative medicine meets the parenting world! Board-certified holistic family physician and author of The Holistic Rx Madiha M. Saeed, MD shifts the focus from adults to children in her timely new book. The Holistic Rx for Kids offers holistic parenting guidelines for raising the whole child—healthy brain, body and soul—in a changing world. As chronic physical and mental health conditions and destructive behaviors are on the rise, we need to shift the way we parent our children to address these concerns. Based on the latest science, Dr. Saeed uncovers how our children’s brains, bodies, and behaviors are being hijacked and presents real-life, actionable steps par...
Most findings about molecular interactions and cellular regulatory events are published in peer-reviewed scientific literature in the form of scientific jargon. the computerized text-mining algorithms are used to convert free grammar of human language into a set of formalized relationships between biological concepts in order to use this wealth of information. the compendium of such interactions extracted from an entire set of biomedical literature is a called knowledge network. Knowledge networks are the first step in the process of digitizing molecular biological knowledge. the next step is building molecular models depicting principal molecular events that govern various biological proces...
It is common ground that all cells require nutrients to develop, differentiate, and maintain their inherent activities. However, the idea that cells can rapidly alter their metabolism to perform specific functions under the pressure of different microenvironments was just brought to the light. These changes are particularly important for immune cells, as they need to respond quickly to opportunistic pathogens or tissue damage and prevent their spread. The field that investigates the interplay between immunology and metabolism is so-called immunometabolism and has supported the hypothesis that all diseases have a metabolic aspect.
Every organism must recognize damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs) to react rapidly. The immune system requires potent negative regulators to control unnecessary or overshooting responses and balance the homeostasis in all tissues. A significant number of negative regulators of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) consist of modified innate sensors and downstream molecules that regulate inflammatory signals initiated by sterile, damage-associated inflammation as well as responses to pathogens. These conserved mechanisms contribute to immune homeostasis, maintain a constant number of immune cells, and limit the activation of the cells during frequent s...
