    Alles, was Pädiater, Kinderpsychiater, Allgemeinmediziner, Schlafmediziner u.v.m. über den Schlaf und Schlafstörungen bei Säuglingen, Kleinkindern, Schulkindern und Jugendlichen wissen müssen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf organisch und psychisch bedingten Erkrankungen, wie Insomnien, schlafbezogenen Atmungsstörungen, Parasomnien und schlafbezogenen rhythmischen Bewegungsstörungen. Während manche Schlafstörungen, wie z.B. das Schlafwandeln, mit zunehmendem Alter abklingen, können andere zu schweren Folgeerkrankungen führen. Deshalb ist es für den behandelnden Arzt sehr wichtig, genau zu diagnostizieren und entsprechend zu therapieren. Das Buch informiert prägnant und praxisbezogen rund um das Thema Kinderschlaf und gibt dem Arzt konkrete Handlungsanweisungen wie im Einzelfall vorzugehen ist, welche weiterführenden Maßnahmen sich anbieten und wie die Verlaufsbeobachtung und Kontrollen aussehen sollten. Ergänzende Kapitel zur Elternberatung runden das Thema ab. Denn auch die Eltern müssen ins Boot geholt werden, da z.B. häufiges Fernsehen – auch wenn es sich nur um „harmlose“ Kinderfilme handelt –sich negativ auf das Schlafverhalten und die -qualität auswirken kann. Zum Buch gibt es ergänzende Videos zu Themen wie z.B. Schlafhygiene/Insomn... obstruktiven Schlafapnoe bei Säuglingen und bei Kindern, Kataplexien, schlafbezogene epileptische Anfällen, Nachtschreck, Schlafwandeln.

In Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in Pathology, with a team of experts, Dr. Stanley Cohen covers the nuts and bolts of all aspects of machine learning, up to and including AI, bringing familiarity and understanding to pathologists at all levels of experience.
