  • Open Electronic Data Capture Tools for Medical and Biomedical Research and Medical Allied Professionals

    • 1st Edition
    • Ashish Pundhir + 2 more
    • English
    Open Electronic Data Capture Tools for Medical and Biomedical Research and Medical Allied Professionals explains the step-by-step of collecting and treating research data in a didactic manner. The book discusses four freely available data capture tools whose common feature is data collection and entry being done simultaneously rather than separately, thus saving resources and minimizing potential errors. It highlights the comparative features of each data capture tool, helping readers to understand the advantage and disadvantage of each one to decide which tool can be used to fulfill their needs.This is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and members of the biomedical and medical fields who need to learn more about data mining and management to improve the quality of their research work.

  • Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus

    Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights
    • 1st Edition
    • Didac Mauricio + 1 more
    • English
    Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights provides a holistic view of the disease, discussing not only its classical complications but also the under recognized and managed conditions associated with diabetes. Chapters also discuss advances in our understanding of the genomic architecture of diabetes complications and how precision medicine can be used to personalize their management. Endocrinologists, diabetologists, primary care physicians and researchers interested in complications of diabetes mellitus and cutting-edge information will find this to be a comprehensive tome on the topic. Diabetes complications include pathological changes usually related to the vascular system and classical target organs. However, there are also nonclassical complications independent or partially independent from vascular damage that are often overlooked.

    Many plant-derived bioactive compounds are the foundation for drugs or effective drugs to cure diseases. Usually, the bioactive compounds in plant biomass are low, and the extraction of bioactive compounds from plants is not eco-friendly, which limits their application in drugs and other industries. While the biosynthesis of some complex bioactive compounds is possible, the scale-up and chemical process technology still needs further application in commercial production of the plant-derived bioactive compounds.Scale-up and Chemical Process for Microbial Production of Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds: From Laboratory to Industry summarizes recent commercial microbial production strategies for plant-derived bioactive compounds. This comprehensive summary will be of great interest to scientists and researchers, as well as engineers who work on the microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds in the industry.
