    Intelligent Medicine on Prediction of Pelvic Lymph Node Metastasis focuses on leveraging intelligent medical techniques to predict lymph node metastasis, using pelvic cancer as a primary case study. Combined with the actual clinical application scenarios, this book introduces deep neural network models, application systems, and carries out method concentrated on the four major links of lymph node location, partition, segmentation and metastasis prediction, aiming to provide theoretical and experimental reference for researchers in this field. In 8 chapters this title introduces the reader to intelligent medicine and deep neural networks, summarises the intelligent biological neural network and the classical artificial neural network, introduces several commonly used network architectures and a new neural network model, and introduces the deep learning based algorithms on lymph nodes metastasis prediction, summarising the method and experimental results. This book is a friendly learning tool, providing beginners and researchers with an in-depth knowledge of deep learning and how to develop intelligent medicine methods in lymph node metastasis prediction.

  • The Role of Blockchain in Disaster Management

    • 1st Edition
    • Ayan Kumar Das + 3 more
    • English
    The Role of Blockchain in Disaster Management explores the architecture and implementation of existing blockchain-based IoT frameworks for the detection and prevention of disasters, along with the management of relative supply chains to protect against mismanagement of essential materials. The distributed nature of Blockchain helps to protect data from internal or external attacks, especially in disaster areas or times of crisis when database systems become overloaded and vulnerable to unauthorized access, manipulation, and disruption of critical services. This book can be used as a reference by graduate students, researchers, professors, and professionals in computer science, software design, and disaster management.

    • English
    Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections provides in-depth coverage of the immunological response against human viral infections and the role and impact of cytokines on disease pathogenesis and host immune response.Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, initiate the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. In five sections, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases; details the role of cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and reverse transcribing virus infections; and gives insights into the recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools and therapeutic and prophylactic measures.Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections is valuable resource for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, engaged in the study of cytokines and their immunological response against human viral infections.
