Viral Hepatitis in Asia and the Pacific: Towards Elimination as a Public Health Threat documents the narratives, innovations, and scope of work in the Asia-Pacific region in starting, consolidating, and moving towards the elimination of viral hepatitis. The Asia-Pacific region is disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, accounting for two-thirds of the global burden. Countries from low-, middle- and high-income economies have adopted different strategies to address combating and eliminating viral hepatitis. The successful experiences of the Asia-Pacific region are valuable for other regions, especially the middle- and low-income countries moving towards the achievement of the 2030 goal of elimination.Strategi... discussed include integrated approaches, negotiating universal access to diagnostics, and treatment options, including vaccines. Content further covers the critical barriers to achieve the 2030 targets for elimination of viral hepatitis and how to overcome them. This is the perfect reference for all hepatology researchers and elimination policy advocates who are dedicated to joining the fight for the 2030 goal of the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat.

Cancer, a multifaceted disease, remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Ongoing research and technological advancements are continually improving the human understanding of newer treatment options. This book series aims to provide wide-ranging insights into the current landscape of cancer research, highlighting the recent advancements, current challenges, and future directions. Cancer varies widely in its formation, microenvironment, location in the body, associated risk factors, detection methodology, and treatment approaches. Early detection and prevention through lifestyle changes, regular screenings, and the awareness of symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates. In this book series, the main focus is on trending topics, like new drug delivery, diagnostics, biomarkers, and preclinical and clinical developments in cancer research. Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative approach in medicine, particularly in the areas of targeted drug delivery systems, imaging, and diagnostics to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and minimize adverse effects in cancer therapy. Advances in pharma, medical device, and diagnostic research, including the development of Trojan-horse therapies and precision treatments/assay kits, continue to enhance the effectiveness of cancer care over the past few decades. A total of five books are covered in this series: Drug Delivery Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 1)Biomarker Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 2)Diagnostic Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 3)Preclinical Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 4)Clinical Landscape in Cancer Research (Vol. 5) By integrating basic, applied, and innovative science concepts, this book series fosters a deeper understanding of the disease and paves the way for the development of more effective strategies. This book series serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, regulators, and clinicians interested in understanding the complexities of cancer and the innovative approaches researched to combat this deadly disease. Nonetheless, continuous interdisciplinary, cross-country collaborations and cross-science innovation strategies are essential to further reduce the global cancer burden.

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) combine elements of computer science, information technology, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology, providing the methodology and in silico solutions to mine biological data and processes, for knowledge discovery.In the era of molecular diagnostics, targeted drug design, translational medicine and Big Data for personalized medicine, computational methods for data analysis are essential tools for biochemistry, biology, biotechnology, pharmacology, biomedical and computer science, as well as mathematics and statistics. New areas are emerging, and relatively isolated fields are becoming current hot research areas in BCB, such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantitative Biology, Computational Vaccinology, Epidemiology and Infection Diffusion, Synthetic Biology, and Phenomics. The role of BCB in characterizing SARS-CoV-2 variants and facing the COVID-19 pandemic is just one example of how these tools can help us better prepare for such future events.This Encyclopedia comprises three sections, covering Methods, Topics, and Applications. The methodologies and algorithms underpinning BCB are described in the Methods section; Topics covers traditional areas such as phylogeny, as well as more recent areas such as translational bioinformatics, cheminformatics and environmental informatics; Applications provides guidance for commonly asked “how to” questions.Navigating the maze of confusing jargon and the plethora of software tools is often confronting for students and researchers alike. This comprehensive and unique resource provides up-to-date theory and application content to address molecular data analysis requirements, with precise definitions of terminology and lucid explanations by field experts.
