      Viral Hepatitis in Asia and the Pacific: Towards Elimination as a Public Health Threat documents the narratives, innovations, and scope of work in the Asia-Pacific region in starting, consolidating, and moving towards the elimination of viral hepatitis. The Asia-Pacific region is disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, accounting for two-thirds of the global burden. Countries from low-, middle- and high-income economies have adopted different strategies to address combating and eliminating viral hepatitis. The successful experiences of the Asia-Pacific region are valuable for other regions, especially the middle- and low-income countries moving towards the achievement of the 2030 goal of elimination.Strategi... discussed include integrated approaches, negotiating universal access to diagnostics, and treatment options, including vaccines. Content further covers the critical barriers to achieve the 2030 targets for elimination of viral hepatitis and how to overcome them. This is the perfect reference for all hepatology researchers and elimination policy advocates who are dedicated to joining the fight for the 2030 goal of the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat.

      Generalized Quantum Calculus with Applications is devoted to the qualitative theory of general quantum calculus and its applications to general quantum differential equations and inequalities. The book is aimed at upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students in a range of interdisciplinary courses including physical sciences and engineering, from quantum mechanics to differential equations, with pedagogically organized chapters that each concludes with a section of practical problems. Generalized quantum calculus includes a generalization of the q-quantum calculus and the time scale calculus. There are many open problems and difficulties in q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, and this book explores how to use the generalized quantum operators to solve difficulties arising in q-quantum calculus and time-scale calculus, including but not limited to generalized quantum integration, generalized quantum chain rules, and generalized quantum Taylor formula.Since generalized quantum calculus includes the q-quantum and time-scale calculus, this book can be utilized by a wide audience of researchers and students. This text is one of few foundational books on generalized quantum calculus and can be used for future discoveries in the area of integral transforms, variational calculus, integral equations, and inequalities in the language of generalized quantum calculus. This book also offers detailed proofs, exercises, and examples to aid instructors, researchers, and users in their studies.

      Cancer, a multifaceted disease, remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Ongoing research and technological advancements are continually improving the human understanding of newer treatment options. This book series aims to provide wide-ranging insights into the current landscape of cancer research, highlighting the recent advancements, current challenges, and future directions. Cancer varies widely in its formation, microenvironment, location in the body, associated risk factors, detection methodology, and treatment approaches. Early detection and prevention through lifestyle changes, regular screenings, and the awareness of symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates. In this book series, the main focus is on trending topics, like new drug delivery, diagnostics, biomarkers, and preclinical and clinical developments in cancer research. Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative approach in medicine, particularly in the areas of targeted drug delivery systems, imaging, and diagnostics to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and minimize adverse effects in cancer therapy. Advances in pharma, medical device, and diagnostic research, including the development of Trojan-horse therapies and precision treatments/assay kits, continue to enhance the effectiveness of cancer care over the past few decades. A total of five books are covered in this series: Drug Delivery Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 1)Biomarker Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 2)Diagnostic Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 3)Preclinical Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 4)Clinical Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 5) By integrating basic, applied, and innovative science concepts, this book series fosters a deeper understanding of the disease and paves the way for the development of more effective strategies. This book series serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, regulators, and clinicians interested in understanding the complexities of cancer and the innovative approaches researched to combat this deadly disease.
