      Sex, Gender, and Epigenetics: From Molecule to Bedside explores our expanding knowledge of the science of epigenetics in which gene expression is modified as a consequence of small chemical additions to various components of the genome. The book provides an overview of the field, describing the epigenetic phenomena that unite biological sex and environmental experience to create the unique phenome of each individual. The book also analyzes the impact of ancestors’ environmental experience on subsequent generations through the sex-specific transmission of environmentally induced epigenetic modifications. Here, international leaders in the field discuss both sex-specific normal physiology and the experience of disease, with chapters dedicated to fetal programming, the microbiome, cancer, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, embryogenesis, and oocyte aging, among other topics.

      Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and COVID-19 showcases theoretical concepts and implementational and research perspectives surrounding AI. The book addresses both medical and technological visions, making it even more applied. With the advent of COVID-19, it is obvious that leading universities and medical schools must include these topics and case studies in their usual courses of health informatics to keep up with the pace of technological and medical advancements. This book will also serve professors teaching courses and industry practitioners and professionals working in the R&D team of leading medical and informatics companies who want to embrace AI and eHealth to fight COVID-19. Since AI in healthcare is a comparatively new field, there exists a vacuum of literature in this field, especially when applied to COVID-19. With the area of AI in COVID-19 being quite young, students and researchers usually face a struggle to rely on the few published papers (which are obviously too specific) or whitepapers by tech-giants (which are too wide).
