Esophagitis and Gastritis
This book provides a comprehensive overview of esophagitis and gastritis and the many manifestations of these conditions. Chapters cover such topics as gastroduodenal ulcers, infectious pathologies of the esophagus, gastrointestinal pathophysiological testing for upper GI disorders, and more.
Dysphagia
This book gives an update on the management of dysphagia due to a variety of disorders. Chapters address management of dysphagia due to corrosive ingestion and following anterior cervical surgery, nutritional, endoscopic, and surgical management of dysphagia, the role of surgery in patients with advanced achalasia, dysphagia in patients with head and neck cancer, and lipofilling and oral neuromuscular treatment.
Voice and Swallowing Disorders
The purpose of writing this book is to discuss the updated information on voice and swallowing disorders. The book has been written by international authors and experts in this field. You will find not only clinical aspects but also basic science aspects of voice and swallowing disorders. The chapters include the quantitative analysis of activity patterns of muscles of mastication and deglutition, and salivary secretion after facial massage and vibrotactile stimulation. You will also find the updated management of oropharyngeal dysphagia, dysphagia due to cervical facial tumors, radiation-induced dysphagia, and dysphagia in patients with a stroke. This book can be an important guide to the practicing physicians and surgeons managing voice and swallowing disorders.
Digestive System
The book focuses on the recent advances in the digestive system. It is composed of 3 sections: gastrointestinal duct, liver, and biliary system. There are 9 chapters: peptic ulcers; mid-gastrointestinal bleeding; gastrointestinal manifestations of IgA vasculitis; biomechanics of intestinal contractions; evaluation of serum sodium change after terlipressin in cirrhosis; history and background of biliary system; gallbladder carcinoma; ERCP for cholecysto-choledocholithiasis; and cystic artery variations and associated vascular complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The knowledge presented in this book should be valuable for family physicians, internists, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, endoscopists, radiologists, and pathologists who are interested in digestive diseases to guide the clinical practice and management. This book should be also useful for patients and their relatives to better understand the digestive system.
Big Data Privacy and Security in Smart Cities
This book highlights recent advances in smart cities technologies, with a focus on new technologies such as biometrics, blockchains, data encryption, data mining, machine learning, deep learning, cloud security, and mobile security. During the past five years, digital cities have been emerging as a technology reality that will come to dominate the usual life of people, in either developed or developing countries. Particularly, with big data issues from smart cities, privacy and security have been a widely concerned matter due to its relevance and sensitivity extensively present in cybersecurity, healthcare, medical service, e-commercial, e-governance, mobile banking, e-finance, digital twins, and so on. These new topics rises up with the era of smart cities and mostly associate with public sectors, which are vital to the modern life of people. This volume summarizes the recent advances in addressing the challenges on big data privacy and security in smart cities and points out the future research direction around this new challenging topic.
Industrial IoT
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled rapid enhancements for applications, not only in home and environment scenarios, but also in factory automation. Now, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) offers all the advantages of IoT to industry, with applications ranging from remote sensing and actuating, to de-centralization and autonomy. In this book, the editor presents the IIoT and its place during the new industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) as it takes us to a better, sustainable, automated, and safer world. The book covers the cross relations and implications of IIoT with existing wired/wireless communication/networking and safety technologies of the Industrial Networks. ...
Liver Disease and Surgery
The goal of this book is to present a review of the different categories of liver disease, as well as address the role of surgery in managing these complex diseases. The book includes chapters written by international experts on the most current indications and guidelines regarding the diagnoses and management of liver diseases, as well as a variety of technical elements involved with the surgical procedures. Different surgical techniques involved in performing a hepatectomy will be discussed, including various instruments used, as well as the effect of modern technology as evidenced by novel procedures. An important focus of the book has been identifying the proper place of all these hepate...
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with a prevalence of 20-30% worldwide is characterized by the buildup of fat in the liver (liver steatosis) with no or little alcohol consumption. Its principal causes are modern diet and occidental lifestyle. It is characterized by metabolic disturbances such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress, considered as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. There is no effective drug therapy for this disease; therefore, lifestyle interventions remain as the first-line treatment. Nevertheless, the adherence rates to this type of treatment are very low, so great efforts are focused at finding novel therapeutic agents for the prevention of hepatic steatosis and its progression. This book presents a systematic and comprehensive revision about NAFLD, highlighting its epidemiological and molecular aspects, as well as its prevention and treatment.
Social, Legal, and Ethical Implications of IoT, Cloud, and Edge Computing Technologies
The adoption of cloud and IoT technologies in both the industrial and academic communities has enabled the discovery of numerous applications and ignited countless new research opportunities. With numerous professional markets benefiting from these advancements, it is easy to forget the non-technical issues that accompany technologies like these. Despite the advantages that these systems bring, significant ethical questions and regulatory issues have become prominent areas of discussion. Social, Legal, and Ethical Implications of IoT, Cloud, and Edge Computing Technologies is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the non-technical repercussions of IoT technology adoption. While highlighting topics such as smart cities, environmental monitoring, and data privacy, this publication explores the regulatory and ethical risks that stem from computing technologies. This book is ideally designed for researchers, engineers, practitioners, students, academicians, developers, policymakers, scientists, and educators seeking current research on the sociological impact of cloud and IoT technologies.
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Interactive Applications
This edited book is based on the research papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Intelligent, Interactive Systems and Applications (IISA2019), held on June 28–30, 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand. Interactive intelligent systems (IIS) are systems that interact with human beings, media or virtual agents in intelligent computing environments. This book explores how novel interactive systems can intelligently address various challenges and also limitations previously encountered by human beings using different machine learning algorithms, and analyzes recent trends. The book includes contributions from diverse areas of IIS, here categorized into seven sections, namely i) Intelligent Systems; ii) Autonomous Systems; iii) Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision; iv) E-Enabled Systems; v) Internet & Cloud Computing; vi) Mobile & Wireless Communication; and vii) Various Applications. It not only presents theoretical knowledge on the intelligent and interactive systems but also discusses various applications pertaining to different domains.
