Computational and Statistical Epigenomics (Translational Bioinformatics #7)
by Andrew E. TeschendorffThis book introduces the reader to modern computational and statistical tools for translational epigenomics research. Over the last decade, epigenomics has emerged as a key area of molecular biology, epidemiology and genome medicine. Epigenomics not only offers us a deeper understanding of fundamental cellular biology, but also provides us with the basis for an improved understanding and management of complex diseases. From novel biomarkers for risk prediction, early detection, diagnosis and prognosis of common diseases, to novel therapeutic strategies, epigenomics is set to play a key role in the personalized medicine of the future. In this book we introduce the reader to some of the most important computational and statistical methods for analyzing epigenomic data, with a special focus on DNA methylation. Topics include normalization, correction for cellular heterogeneity, batch effects, clustering, supervised analysis and integrative methods for systems epigenomics. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biologists and clinicians alike. Dr. Andrew E. Teschendorff is Head of the Computational Systems Genomics Lab at the CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology, Shanghai, China, as well as an Honorary Research Fellow at the UCL Cancer Institute, University College London, UK.

Computer Assisted Eye Motility Diagnostics
by Siegfried Priglinger Michael BuchbergerThis book introduces a unique computer system for predicting the outcome of strabismus surgeries. Diagnostic data of individual surgical cases, related diagnosis and treatments are incorporated into a well-designed, clinically applicable simulation model. Based on a biomechanical model of the human eye, a new way of interactive, virtual eye muscle surgery is proposed, which enables the prediction of surgical outcomes based on objective, anatomically related and measured data. Additionally, a realistic three-dimensional visualization of the human eyes and their muscles supports detailed evaluation and meaningful interpretation of eye motility disorders. This software system is neither intended to replace common clinical diagnostics, nor surgical expertise. It should improve education, training, and the accuracy of clinical decisions due to the possibility of simulation, graphical representation and comparison of different eye motility disorders. Computer Assisted Eye Motility Diagnostics, 2nd Edition brings education in the field of ophthalmology to a new dimension – for the basics of the function of the oculomotor control to deep inside knowledge for dealing with complex eye motility disorders and to create motivation and interest in strabology through learning by doing.

Computer Medical Databases: The First Six Decades (1950–2010) (Health Informatics)
by Morris F. CollenChapter 1 offers an overview of the basic computer technology. Each succeeding chapter, describes the problems in medicine, followed by a review in chronological sequence of why and how computers were applied to try to meet these problems. Only the technical aspects of computer hardware, software, and communications are discussed as they are necessary to explain how the technology was applied. This approach generally led to defining the objectives for applications of medical informatics. At the end of each chapter, the author summarizes his personal views and interpretations of the chapter contents. Although the concurrent evolution of medical informatics in Canada, Europe, and Japan certainly influenced workers in the United States, the scope of this historical review is limited to the development of medical informatics within the United States. Furthermore, this review is limited to electronic digital computers; it excludes mechanical, analog, and hybrid computers.
