      Translational Models of Parkinson’s Disease and Related Movement Disorders focuses on cutting-edge techniques for creating and validating current Parkinson’s Disease translational experimental models. Various characteristics of these models are examined, including the prion-like properties of -synuclein, mitochondrial functions connected to the PINK1-Parkin pathway/CHCHD2, the endolysosome pathway connected to LRRK2, VPS35, and ATP13A2 using cultured cells (including patient iPS cells). This book also highlights the future possibilities of introducing new models for Parkinson’s Disease and related movements disorders, underscoring current advancements, pre-clinical and clinical developments, and future scope related to numerous models.

      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.

      Handbook of Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders aims to unite these factors to provide a comprehensive guide to patient focused treatments for movement disorders. Sections cover an introduction to digital technologies, concepts, and terminologies, review various perspectives on technology in movement disorders, including patient and medical professionals, and present technologies used in detecting, measuring progression, and determining response to treatments. Additional chapters review the technology used in various treatments of movement disorders, including assistive and robotic technologies. Finally, the last section examines the challenges with technology, including privacy and other ethical issues. Over the past few years, there have been fundamental changes in the diagnosing and treating patients with chronic diseases, significantly affecting management of neurological movement disorders. In addition, the health and fitness sector developed several devices to better classify, track, and potentially treat chronic diseases. Both handling and interpreting these large datasets has been revolutionized, by machine and deep learning approaches, leading to new and more effective therapies, resulting in longer survival rates.
