  • Artificial Intelligence in Microbiology: Scope and Challenges Volume 1

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 55
    • English
    Nowadays, the field of microbiology is undergoing a revolutionary change due to the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is being used to analyze massive data in a predictable form, about the behavior of microorganisms, to solve microbial classification-relat... problems, exploring the interaction between microorganisms and the surrounding environment. It also helps to extract novel microbial metabolites which have been used in various fields like medical, food and agricultural industries. As the pace of innovation in Microbiology is accelerating, the use of AI in these industries will be beneficial. AI will not only show its extraordinary potential in expanding the market of antibiotics, food, and agriculture but also offer an eco-friendly, safer, and profitable solution to the respective industries. It would be challenging to search out specific features and discuss future research on AI in microbiology with a wide perspective.

Topics cover the modern systems approach to biology that involves large amounts of personalized, ongoing physiologic data ("omics") coupled with advanced methods of analysis, new tests of genetic engineering, such as CRISPR, auto inflammatory diseases, autoimmune responses to tumor immunotherapy, and information on normal immune response and disorders. Each of the major autoimmune disorders is discussed by researchers and clinical investigators experienced in dealing with patients.This new edition continues its success with 75% of the content revised, updated, or completely new. This edition is a valuable resource to clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune disease, as well as to scientists who want to follow developments in the field.
  • Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Role of MicroRNAs in Head and Neck Cancer

    • 1st Edition
    • Ashok Kumar + 3 more
    • English
    Diagnostic, Prognostic and Therapeutic Role of MicroRNAs in Head and Neck Cancer provides detailed information on various miRNA-based approaches for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of HNSCC. The book encompasses various miRNA-based point-of-care diagnostics and drug delivery systems for HNSCC, along with information on clinical trials for improved clinical outcomes in HNSCC patients. In addition, it provides a comprehensive overview of currently available miRNAs associated with HNSCC and their extensive application for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Scientists and clinicians looking to win the battle against HNSCC will benefit from the book's sections on early diagnosis to improve treatment, increase treatment response rates, and reduce mortality rates. Recently, miRNA-based diagnostics and therapeutics have gained considerable attention among the scientific community. MiRNAs are known to have great potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis, prediction, and prognosis of HNSCC, and play a role in development of targeted gene therapy.
  • The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity

    • 1st Edition
    • Bianca P. Acevedo
    • English
    The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity provides an up-to-date and novel scientific perspective on the biologically based Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) trait— which is associated with enhanced awareness, depth of cognitive processing, and heightened responsivity to the environment and other individuals. This second volume by B.P. Acevedo, following “The Highly Sensitive Brain,” takes a scientific perspective on its exploration of SPS, but adds to the existing body of literature on high sensitivity by including an enhanced discussion on the proposed mechanisms linking it with depression, anxiety, and burnout.In addition, this second volume explores SPS’ relationship to other relevant personality traits, such as the Big Five, creativity, and sensation seeking; and sheds light on how their varying combinations give rise to different outcomes for highly sensitive persons (HSPs). A unique contribution of this volume is its detailed examination of the role of culture, gender, biology, aging, and the environment (including the workplace) on the expression (or repression) of high sensitivity.Also, unlike previous books, this volume takes a broad perspective on outcomes related to being highly sensitive to shine a light on the non-trivial issue plaguing many HSPs: diminished quality of life, happiness, and well-being. As such, a major contribution of the second volume on the science of SPS, is its extensive description of scientifically-based techniques that might improve the quality of life for those with high SPS.Thus, this volume may appeal to a wide audience, including both HSPs and those in their social network (friends, partners, physicians, parents, educators, and clinicians) who wish to better understand SPS, those with the trait, and how to enhance well-being among the highly sensitive.
