      Systems Biology in Crop Improvement: Emerging Tools and Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, methodologies, and applications of systems biology in the context of crop improvement. A volume in the Systems Biology in Agriculture and Plant Sciences series, it presents insights into the relationships that impact plant health and production. The task of feeding the world’s growing population continues to challenge our global food systems. Traditional methods of crop improvement have undoubtedly played a crucial role in boosting agricultural productivity, however, to meet the demands of the future, an approach is needed that delves deeper into the intricate workings of plants themselves. Systems biology has emerged as a transformative approach to understanding the complexity of biological systems, from molecular networks within cells to ecological interactions in agroecosystems. By integrating diverse data types, computational modelling, and advanced analytics, systems biology offers holistic insights into the underlying mechanisms governing crop growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers and practitioners in the field, this book explores the multifaceted role of systems biology in deciphering the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors influencing crop traits and performance. Systems Biology in Crop Improvement: Emerging Tools and Technologies will inspire new collaborations, innovations, and discoveries that will ultimately contribute to a more sustainable and resilient food system for future generations.

      New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation is the cutting edge book required by pediatric cardiologists and other professionals who encounter arrhythmias in children. Holter ECG examination has recently undergone significant advances in technology, sensors, and software. Yet, these innovations have been considered primarily in the context of adult patients. On the contrary, New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation uses a case-based methodology to illustrate diagnosis and management of actual pediatric patients. Further, it offers guidance in deciding when referrals are necessary for arrhythmological consultations or ablation interventions. This book also contains novel techniques for detecting and interpreting pediatric arrhythmias. These include the introduction of Poincare graphs, Lorenz plots, and other advanced methods for assessing heart rate variability. New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation modernizes readers' understanding of arrhythmias in children, thus improving the young lives of those in their care.

      While developments in the focus of female athlete health have progressed, specific focus on the pelvic floor in sports medicine is lacking. Yet pelvic floor dysfunction has significant implications for athlete engagement, performance, and wellbeing. Sports Medicine and the Pelvic Floor: Science to Practice addresses a traditionally unspoken about topic, riddled with taboo, and uncovers the evidence informed insights into the role and function of the pelvic floor and its relevance for consideration in the same way as sports medicine considers all other regions of the body. The book addresses the pelvic floor - what it is, how it functions, and what can go wrong. It covers what to do when an athlete presents with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and how to support athletes in sport, helping manage/alleviate symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, with the goal of maintaining or returning the athlete to sport while safeguarding their long term pelvic health. Sports Medicine and the Pelvic Floor: Science to Practice identifies key gaps to inform future studies for researchers and guides clinicans on how to screen, treat and rehabilitate an athlete. Written by both clinicans and researchers in the field for anyone working with or treating female athletes.

      Decolonizing Medical Education, Research and Practice provides comprehensive insights into the decolonization of medicine by focusing on three key aspects: curricula, research and medical practice. There is a gap of in-depth and thorough analysis of decolonization that covers these three facets. The process of decolonization is complex and multifaceted. For example, colonialism contributed to and perpetuated false beliefs about racial hierarchies and differences in physiology based on race. Such ideas historically influenced medical research efforts, education, and practice, resulting in discriminatory treatment of some research subjects and patients. Moreover, attempts to address such issues can be challenging as existing medical and biomedical sciences curricula are rooted in Eurocentric perspectives and historical traditions. The harms of colonialism and systemic racism remain as they are often structurally embedded in populations to thereby perpetuate inequity and access to healthcare. The first part of this book explores these challenges providing an in-depth and critical analysis of such issues. The second part focuses on potential solutions and includes case studies which attempt to address such challenges. With the goal of establishing a fair, inclusive, culturally sensitive and representative healthcare system to serve communities at a global level and while undoing traumatic experiences from the past. Written by global experts for academics at medical schools/colleges, under- and postgraduate students pursuing medical, allied health and biomedical sciences, postdoctoral fellows, doctors/clinicians, health care professionals, leaders at universities, leaders in research and healthcare, as well as policy makers.

      Targeting Intercellular Communication with Nanomedicine and Advanced Therapeutics delves into the complex world of intercellular communication biology and its implications on therapeutics. Despite significant progress in this field, there has been a lack of comprehensive understanding of the connections between different forms of communication and their role in diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory/immune diseases. This book bridges this gap by providing equal insight into all areas of intercellular communication and the therapeutics in development aimed at these different forms of communication. The book is organized into fourteen chapters, covering a wide range of topics, including an introduction to the field, biological targets, challenges and approaches to overcoming biological barriers, and the significance of contact points and mechanisms of internalization. It delves into the specifics of tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, and the immune and non-immune interface in various diseases. Furthermore, it explores the crosstalk of different forms of intercellular communication and the implications of mitochondrial exchange in each of the four primary pathological areas. Targeting Intercellular Communication with Nanomedicine and Advanced Therapeutics is an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of drug development and delivery. By connecting the dots between extracellular vesicles, tunneling nanotubes, and cell-cell junctions, this book serves as a foundation for further advancements in the science of intercellular communication and it's applications to new drug discovery and delivery. Biologists will also benefit from the way this book connects intercellular communication processes with therapeutic pathways.
