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.

De onde vem o gosto pelos romances ou novelas ou livros de cavalarias? Antes de tudo, de sua natureza fantasiosa – permeada de monstros, gigantes, fadas, castelos, animais estranhos, acontecimentos miraculosos, e de sua apologia do heroísmo guerreiro – com um exército de cavaleiros que, além de vassalos fiéis e imbatíveis, são em geral belos e perfeitos amantes. Mas esses ingredientes aliciantes, pura ficção, estão intrinsecamente plantados na História de seu tempo e são, por isso mesmo e como qualquer boa literatura, uma poderosa fonte de conhecimentos do Homem e da sociedade que o rodeia. Basta conferir a diversidade temática dos artigos reunidos neste livro.
Comparative Perspectives on the Rise of the Brazilian Novel presents a framework of comparative literature based on a systemic and empirical approach to the study of the novel and applies that framework to the analysis of key nineteenth-century Brazilian novels. The works under examination were published during the period in which the forms and procedures of the novel were acclimatized as the genre established and consolidated itself in Brazil.
Desde a utilização inicial da laparoscopia para diagnóstico por Nicola Cortesi, em 1976, até as modernas cirurgias robóticas, a urologia se destaca como um campo fértil para o florescimento de inovações tecnológicas e terapêuticas. Esta obra pretende, a partir da literatura médica especializada, passar em revista os recentes e surpreendentes desenvolvimentos na laparoscopia urológica, com o objetivo de fornecer subsídios para as discussões com pacientes, entidades e colegas médicos.
