  • Radiomics and Radiogenomics in Neuro-Oncology

    An Artificial Intelligence Paradigm - Volume 1: Radiogenomics Flow Using Artificial Intelligence
    • 1st Edition
    • Sanjay Saxena + 1 more
    • English
    Radiomics and Radiogenomics in Neuro-Oncology: An Artificial Intelligence Paradigm, Volume One: Radiogenomics Flow Using Artificial Intelligence broadly encompasses the study of life-threatening brain and spinal cord malignancies, including primary lesions and those metastasizing to the central nervous system. Radiomics is an approach to medical imaging used to extract many quantitative imaging features using different data characterization algorithms, while radiogenomics, which has recently emerged as a novel mechanism in neuro-oncology research, focuses on the relationship of imaging phenotype and genetics of cancer. Sections in this book discuss several AI approaches that have been applied to conventional and advanced medical imaging data. These AI-based R-n-R tools have the potential to stratify patients into more precise initial diagnostic and therapeutic pathways and permit better dynamic treatment monitoring in this period of personalized medicine. While extremely promising, the clinical acceptance of R-n-R methods and approaches will primarily hinge on their resilience to non-standardization across imaging protocols and their capability to show reproducibility.

  • From Brain Dynamics to the Mind

    Spatiotemporal Neuroscience
    • 1st Edition
    • Georg Northoff
    • English
    From Brain Dynamics to the Mind: Spatiotemporal Neuroscience explores how the self and consciousness is related to neural events. Sections in the book cover existing models used to describe the mind/brain problem, recent research on brain mechanisms and processes and what they tell us about the self, consciousness and psychiatric disorders. The book presents a spatiotemporal approach to understanding the brain and the implications for artificial intelligence, novel therapies for psychiatric disorders, and for ethical, societal and philosophical issues. Pulling concepts from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, the book presents a modern and complete look at what we know, what we can surmise, and what we may never know about the distinction between brain and mind.

  • Principles of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry through Complex Clinical Cases

    • 1st Edition
    • Ayol Samuels + 2 more
    • English
    Major changes in behaviors, thoughts, or emotions in children and adolescents may represent an underlying, diagnosable neurological disorder requiring further evaluation and treatment. When should you suspect these disorders? How can you avoid the devastating effects of missing them? How do you avoid unnecessary testing? Principles of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry through Complex Clinical Cases combines the knowledge and experience of seasoned neurologists and psychiatrists to answer these questions. This book invites the reader to join in the analysis of 12 different children and adolescents with neuropsychiatric presentations, from the first symptoms through diagnosis, management, and the discussion with the family. This book provides concise, timely, and practical discussions of important neuropsychiatric conditions, including autoimmune encephalitis, sleep disorders, catatonia, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will benefit physicians and mental health practitioners involved in assessing and treating children and adolescents.

  • Molecular Impacts of Nanoparticles on Plants and Algae

    Molecular Impacts of Nanoparticles on Plants and Algae covers molecular mechanisms of plants/algae related to cellular uptake, translocation of nanoparticles, and genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome responses against it. The book introduces readers to state-of-the-art developments and trends of nanoparticles and plants/algae including interactions of nanoparticles with biological compounds in vitro. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have rapidly been developed in the last few decades, and they have a wide range of applications in industry, medicine, food, and agriculture. In agriculture, nanoparticles (NPs) have successfully been used for growth regulation, crop protection and improvement. This book presents the most recent findings on nanoparticle and plant/algae interaction by focusing on molecular response mechanisms at genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome levels. In addition, uptake and translocation mechanism of nanoparticles are assessed both in plant and algae. Throughout this book, the latest developments and discoveries are highlighted, along with open problems and future challenges in molecular mechanisms of plants/algae as a response of nanoparticles.
