Pathophysiology and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Disease in Peripheral Arteries is a thorough review of the disease written by experts studying its detection and treatment. These state-of-the-art chapters summarize emerging knowledge about this important area of medicine. The pathophysiology and treatment of peripheral artery (PAD) disease remains poorly understood even by practitioners. Often it is assumed that PAD should be treated in a similar fashion to coronary artery disease (CAD), when in fact recent data suggest a distinct pathophysiology with genetic risk having some but not complete overlap with CAD.This is a novel reference of emerging data on the factors behind its development and progression, detection, and treatment suggest an emerging paradigm for this disease.

Bio-Inspired Strategies for Modeling and Detection in Diabetes Mellitus Treatment focuses on bioinspired techniques such as modeling to generate control algorithms for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The book addresses the identification of diabetes mellitus using a high-order recurrent neural network trained by an extended Kalman filter. The authors also describe the use of metaheuristic algorithms for the parametric identification of compartmental models of diabetes mellitus widely used in research works such as the Sorensen model and the Dallaman model. In addition, the book addresses the modeling of time series for the prediction of risk scenarios such as hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia using deep neural networks. The detection of diabetes mellitus in the early stages or when current diagnostic techniques cannot detect glucose intolerance or prediabetes is proposed, carried out by means of deep neural networks present in the literature. Readers will find leading-edge research in diabetes identification based on discrete high-order neural networks trained with an extended Kalman filter; parametric identification of compartmental models used to describe diabetes mellitus; modeling of data obtained by continuous glucose-monitoring sensors for the prediction of risk scenarios such as hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia; and screening for glucose intolerance using glucose-tolerance test data and deep neural networks. Application of the proposed approaches is illustrated via simulation and real-time implementations for modeling, prediction, and classification.

Curcumin-based Nanomedicines as Cancer Therapeutics presents a consistent and thorough overview of nanocurcumin applications in cancer treatments. It brings together the novel applications of nanocurcumin in biological milieu as well as helps readers to define the major gaps in knowledge that can lead to significant scientific discoveries. Nanocurcumin has been widely explored for the treatment of various cancers; however, the scientific literature is inconsistent in style and structure and scattered across many sources. By providing an explicit account on vital aspects on nanocurcumin-based anticancer delivery approaches and discussing the perspectives of the technologies explored so far based upon the findings outlined, the book offers updated and in-depth knowledge on the topic in one single source written by global leading experts. In addition, the book aims to stimulate the interest of the academic researchers, industrial scientists, businessmen, and young scholars to address key multidisciplinary challenges faced by nanotechnologists to foster the desired collaboration among biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, and clinicians to find proper and efficient new cancer treatments.

Fractional Difference, Differential Equations, and Inclusions: Analysis and Stability is devoted to the existence and stability (Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability and asymptotic stability) of solutions for several classes of functional fractional difference equations and inclusions. Covered equations include delay effects of finite, infinite, or state-dependent nature, and tools used to establish the existence results for the proposed problems include fixed point theorems, densifiability techniques, monotone iterative technique, notions of Ulam stability, attractivity and the measure of non-compactness, as well as the measure of weak noncompactness. The tools of fractional calculus are found to be of great utility in improving the mathematical modeling of many natural phenomena and processes occurring in the areas of engineering, social, natural, and biomedical sciences. All abstract results in the book are illustrated by examples in applied mathematics, engineering, biomedical, and other applied sciences.
