Strategies for Overcoming Chemotherapy Resistance in Cervical Cancer: From Molecular Insights to Precision Solutions, Volume 21 highlights different strategies to reverse chemotherapy resistance in cervical cancer. The book puts a strong focus on strategies to reverse chemotherapy resistance as well as strategies for early detection of the resistance, enhancing precision oncology in terms of patient care and maximizing patient management. The book also looks at virally induced resistance to chemotherapy and recommends combination therapies that can maximize the reversal of this resistance.In 10 chapters, the book not only gives an overview of cervical cancer and chemotherapy as treatment, but also investigates resistance to chemotherapy and treatment for resistance. It defines treatment mechanisms, options, and limitations to beat chemotherapy resistance and the reversal of the resistance mechanisms. It gives insights into future directions of cervical cancer treatment using epigenetic silencing, chemotherapy splicing, the involvement of MicroRNAs to chemotherapy resistance, and the application of Artificial Intelligence.

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.

Microbiome-Assisted Bioremediation: Rehabilitating Agricultural Soils provides a complete reference on the opportunities, technologies, and challenges of remediating contaminated soils through use of microbial means. Environmental pollution and human exposure associated with heavy metals are attributed to anthropogenic activities such as mining, industrial wastes, and metal containing compounds in domestic and agricultural systems. Addressing the foundational aspects of microbe-based approaches, this book provides a valuable gateway resource for those entering the field, as well as providing in-depth insights into the various tools and techniques for real-world application.Microbia... remediation has appeared as a promising approach to lessen the heavy metal concentration in the environment due to their sequestration and transforming ability of xenobiotic compounds. Microbial bioremediation is an efficient, economical, and environmentally-frie... procedure that reduces the cost of the cleanup process associated with heavy and toxic metal contamination.
