      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.

      A Multidisciplinary Approach to Managing Swallowing Dysfunction in Older People provides comprehensive coverage on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), focusing on older patient phenotypes. The book provides the knowledge needed for translational researchers and professionals to aid in the detection, diagnosis, treatment and management of OD, ultimately improving patient quality of life. OD has been recently considered a geriatric syndrome because of its high prevalence, the increase of life-expectancy and the need to be managed by a multidisciplinary approach. This reference takes a novel approach to OD, covering all aspects as a geriatric syndrome, examining a complicated and multi-level topic in a succinct way. Contents include the most innovative information available in current literature combined with practical applications to improve the diagnosis and treatments of OD as a geriatric syndrome. This is the perfect reference for translational researchers, physicians and healthcare professionals dealing with OD.

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.

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.
