  • Research in Anatomy

    A Comprehensive Guide in Anatomical Sciences and Education
    • 1st Edition
    • Hosam Eldeen Elsadig Gasmalla
    • English
    Research in Anatomy: A Comprehensive Guide in Anatomical Sciences and Education aims to provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary anatomical research methods. It fills a critical gap in anatomical research methodologies. While many texts cover general research methods or specific topics, there is a lack of comprehensive resources that encompass the various approaches in anatomical studies. It serves as a valuable resource for students, educators and researchers in the anatomical sciences and related disciplines.The book is divided into two parts. Part one is the introductory section, which covers the fundamentals of anatomical research through seven chapters. It starts by providing brief descriptions and examples of various research designs and offering a step-by-step guide on how to conduct systematic literature searches. Subsequent chapters in this section compare human and animal studies in anatomical research, discuss how to conduct systematic reviews, cover essential aspects of data analysis and management in anatomical research, outline methods for sharing anatomy research findings, and highlight the vital role of cadavers in advancing anatomical knowledge and medical education. Finally, this section explores the methods and approaches used to study and improve anatomy education.The second section explores various specialised research areas in detail. It provides guidance and insights on several topics, including developmental anatomy research, the use of surgical observations for anatomical research, and morphometric studies in anatomy. Additionally, it discusses the application of medical imaging tools for anatomical studies and the significance of macroscopic and microscopic examination and imaging techniques in neuroanatomical research. Finally, this section explores anatomical variability

  • High Intensity Functional Training

    Clinical Applications in Training, Rehabilitation, and Sport
    • 1st Edition
    • Amy M. West
    • English
    High Intensity Functional Training: Clinical Applications in Training, Rehabilitation, and Sport presents a clear definition of high intensity functional training (HIFT) in medical literature while also examining how HIFT can be used as an exercise/training modality, a rehabilitation protocol, and as a competitive sport unto itself. Topics covered move from the data in the research, the implications to specific patients, and rehabilitation outcomes. Chapter authors are all subject matter experts, some of whom have designed and implemented studies regarding this training modality.This comprehensive book provides a solution on training and the sport, and how to best care for these athletes.

  • Healthcare Applications of Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence

    • 1st Edition
    • Boris Galitsky
    • English
    Healthcare Applications of Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of neuro-symbolic (NS) artificial intelligence (AI), presenting the most recent advances in deep learning and integration of NS systems and large language models (LLMs). This book evaluates traditional approaches, current approaches, as well as the author’s own approach to NS, to create hybrid architectures and reasoning techniques to overcome the limitations of most existing AI systems such as deep learning, neural networks, and symbolic AI.This book will be a welcome resource for researchers and graduate students in AI, natural language processing, and biomedical informatics, as well as professionals in software development looking to redesign current systems to leverage LLMs through the health application of NS architecture.

  • Essentials of Neuroanesthesia

    • 2nd Edition
    • Hemanshu Prabhakar
    • English
    Essentials of Neuroanesthesia, Second Edition continues to offer valuable insights into the anesthetic management of neurosurgical and neurologic patients, covering all topics related to neuroanesthesia and providing essential knowledge on the brain and spinal cord. The book includes chapters on anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology, along with specific chapters addressing various neurosurgical and neurological problems and their anesthetic management. This updated edition introduces new chapters on artificial intelligence in neurosciences, the role of simulation in clinical neurosciences, robotic neurosurgery, trigeminal neuralgia, coexisting transplanted organs, brain resuscitation after cardiac arrest, and more.In addition to the foundational knowledge, the book addresses related issues such as the evidence-based practice of neuroanesthesia, sterilization techniques, biostatistics, and ethical issues. It is a valuable resource for trainees, clinicians, and researchers in the fields of neuroanesthesia, neurocritical care, critical care, neurosurgery, and neurology. The comprehensive coverage and updated content make it an indispensable guide for understanding and managing the complexities of neuroanesthesia.
