Pulmonary Vascular Disease

Pulmonary Vascular Disease offers a current and comprehensive review of the pathophysiology, diagnosis,and treatment of pulmonary hypertension and venous thromboembolism. Thousands of patients die each yearfrom the effects of pulmonary vascular disease. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and long-term managementcan improve the likelihood of survival in these patients. * Includes discussion of pharmacologic andnonpharmacologic therapies; plus treatment options, including the benefits and risks of each treatment.* Multiple CT scans of affected patients -- CTs show variations of PH and VT, important for diagnosis.* Text boxes with information related to Key Points, Pitfalls, and other information will be usedthroughout the text.

Hormesis: A Revolution in Biology, Toxicology and Medicine

Hormesis is defined as any circumstance in which exposure of a cell or organism to a low dose of asubstance or condition results in an adaptive stimulatory/beneficial outcome, while exposure to a highdose results in an inhibitory / detrimental outcome. When plotted on a graph the shape of the doseresponse curve is biphasic, the hallmark of hormesis. This groundbreaking book "Hormesis: A Revolutionin Biology, Toxicology and Medicine" describes why and how hormesis is a fundamental feature of allliving systems and is based on the evolutionary principle of selection for genetic traits that conferthe ability to respond adaptively to adverse environmental conditions. Using numerous specific examplesthe authors explain why knowledge of hormesis is important for our health, our environment, and thefuture of our planet. Several chapters of the book describe emerging research findings that elucidatethe molecular and cellular underpinnings of the biphasic dose response/hormesis. The implications ofthe tapping of cellular systems that underlie hormesis for the discovery and optimization of new drugsand dietary formulations are described.

Medical Imaging Informatics

Medical Imaging Informatics provides an overview of this growing discipline, which stems from anintersection of biomedical informatics, medical imaging, computer science and medicine. Supporting twocomplementary views, this volume explores the fundamental technologies and algorithms that comprisethis field, as well as the application of medical imaging informatics to subsequently improvehealthcare research. Clearly written in a four part structure, this introduction follows naturalhealthcare processes, illustrating the roles of data collection and standardization, context extractionand modeling, and medical decision making tools and applications.
