Deprescribing and Polypharmacy in an Aging Population supports healthcare professionals across global healthcare institutions in reducing polypharmacy-related drug replated problems (DRPs) by working with patients, families, interprofessional healthcare professionals, and educational institutions to develop, implement, test, improve upon, and educate on strategies for deprescribing and optimizing patient safety. Polypharmacy, the use of multiple medications at the same time by one person, is very common in various patient populations, including those who lack primary physicians, patients with mental health conditions, patients with multiple chronic conditions, and in the aging population.

Nucleic Acids: A Natural Target for Newly Designed Metal Chelate Based Drugs discusses how human diseases are becoming more costly to treat, along with updates on the resistance offered by disease-causing agents. The abundance of drugs in the market has provided great relief to patients, but side effects can destroy the immune system of the body. Patients need to boost their immune system, and at the same time cover expenses incurred to cure disease. Thus, a paradigm shift is needed to design a drug molecule with low cost and easy availability. Metal complexes can be a great example of such a shift, as metal ions are components of biological molecules and can achieve good binding capability to specific targets while not allowing them to damage healthy cell system. Therefore, in this book, a comprehensive compilation of recent data is provided, including the structural elucidation of metal complexes by advanced techniques and the binding pattern of metal complexes with specific targets.

Smart Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Neuro-sensors explores all available biosensor-based approaches and technologies as well as their use in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of a variety of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and epileptic disorders. The book also discusses contemporary and revolutionary biosensor platforms that are being used to produce a quantitative quick lab-on-a-chip point-of-care (POC) assay for several types of predictive and diagnostic biomarkers linked with neurodegenerative disorders. It offers a combinatorial strategy for learning recent advances and designing new biosensor-based technologies in the fields of medical science, engineering and biomedical technology. Early detection of neurological conditions has the potential to treat the disease and extend the life expectancy of patients. Recent improvements in biosensor-based approaches that target specific cell surface biomarkers can be used for early detection of neurodegenerative disease.

Atlas of Thoracoscopic Anatomical Pulmonary Subsegmentectomy provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview and guidance on anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy, from both theoretical and technical perspectives. The book is divided in two parts: Part I is dedicated to theoretical background of surgery, including surgical subsegmental anatomy, CT three-dimensional reconstruction of pulmonary structures, surgical techniques, and perioperative patient management. Part II presents more than 40 kinds of subsegmentectomies of the left and right lungs, both upper and lower lobes. As the rapid development of three-dimensional computed tomographic images has made it possible to provide more refined individualized anatomic details, and has consequently enabled advances in pulmonary subsegmentectomy, this book is a valuable resource to thoracic surgeons and physicians interested in thoracic surgery and mini-invasive surgical approaches in the thorax.
