Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, are an important cause of disability and death worldwide and pose a serious burden on the global health system over the past 30 years. Acupuncture, as the most widely used traditional Chinese medicine therapy in the world, has been widely used in 183 countries and regions. Acupuncture can treat more than 300 kinds of diseases, especially for neurological diseases. Due to the unique advantages of acupuncture such as good therapeutic effect and low side effects, many researchers have conducted extensive clinical studies on the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of neurological diseases, laying a ...
With the increasing use of acupuncture in clinical settings worldwide, there is a need to develop benchmarks for the practice of acupuncture, against which actual acupuncture treatment can be compared and evaluated. This document presents a stepwise guidance for the administration of acupuncture treatment, provides the minimum infrastructure requirements for delivering an acupuncture service and emphasizes the key elements for the safe practice of acupuncture. This document offers a useful reference point to evaluate acupuncture practice which will benefit policymakers, health workers, education providers and the public in general. It forms an integral part of the updated benchmark series, targeting key modalities of traditional medicine intervention and contributing to the establishment of a reference toolkit for countries.
Cancer is still a major public health concern, and it is regarded as one of the leading causes of mortality globally. Despite significant advances in biotechnologies, developing practical and innovative small molecule drugs remains a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive task that necessitates collaborations from many experts in multidisciplinary fields such as computational biology, drug metabolism, and clinical research, among others. Therefore, new drug development procedures that save time and cost while increasing efficiency are in high demand. In silico screening in combination with molecular simulations, has become an increasingly important aspect of modern drug development process...
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
The Eighth CCF Bioinformatics Conference (CBC 2023) held in Urumqi, August 6-8, 2023. The CBC 2023 is supported by CCF Bioinformatics Committee and Xinjiang University. The conference invited renowned experts and scholars in the field of bioinformatics both domestically and internationally to give presentations, and organized group reports on the latest research progress and trends in the field of bioinformatics. The aim is to provide an academic exchange platform for the researchers to exchange the latest research advances on bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, medical data analysis and precision medicine, biomedical image analysis, and computational biology, promoting academic exchange and collaborative research in the field of bioinformatics in China. The central goal of the Research Topic is to explore computational learning models and methods driven by omics for biology. We solicit high-quality original research papers in any aspect of bioinformatics, genomics, and biomedicine. New computational techniques and methods and their application in life science and medical domains are especially encouraged.
This book explores acupuncture's remarkable evolution in the United States over the last fifty years as it transitioned from an obscure practice to a pivotal modality in complementary medicine. These pages chronicle acupuncture’s transformative journey within the dominant culture of Western scientific medicine, highlighting key milestones from the use of acupuncture in pain management to the NIH-sponsored open-access digital compendium of acupuncture points and related information. Through narratives detailing educational advancements, legislative battles, practical applications, and scientific research, the reader gains a comprehensive view of how acupuncture has navigated controversies and debates to secure its place in modern healthcare. This book traces acupuncture’s expanding role in the healthcare system, reflects on its historical significance, and considers its future in global health. Insightful commentary provides acupuncture practitioners, skeptics, and aficionados with a useful overview of acupuncture’s past, its current achievements and its promise for the future.
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, bulbar palsy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, cerebral palsy, headache, migraine, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, etc., involve complex neural mechanism, and seriously affect quality of life and threaten life safety in patients with these disorders. Multiple neural techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, electroencephalography, etc., provide powerful tools for uncovering complex networks of neural mechanism and exploring key potential biomarkers to reveal the underlying neural feature of those disorders.
