Trends of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data for E-Health (Integrated Science #9)
by Safwan Halabi Houneida Sakly Kristen Yeom Mourad Said Jayne Seekins Moncef TaginaThis book aims to present the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data in healthcare for medical decision making and data analysis in myriad fields including Radiology, Radiomics, Radiogenomics, Oncology, Pharmacology, COVID-19 prognosis, Cardiac imaging, Neuroradiology, Psychiatry and others. This will include topics such as Artificial Intelligence of Thing (AIOT), Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Distributed learning, Blockchain of Internet of Things (BIOT), Cybersecurity, and Internet of (Medical) Things (IoTs). Healthcare providers will learn how to leverage Big Data analytics and AI as methodology for accurate analysis based on their clinical data repositories and clinical decision support. The capacity to recognize patterns and transform large amounts of data into usable information for precision medicine assists healthcare professionals in achieving these objectives. Intelligent Health has the potential to monitor patients at risk with underlying conditions and track their progress during therapy. Some of the greatest challenges in using these technologies are based on legal and ethical concerns of using medical data and adequately representing and servicing disparate patient populations. One major potential benefit of this technology is to make health systems more sustainable and standardized. Privacy and data security, establishing protocols, appropriate governance, and improving technologies will be among the crucial priorities for Digital Transformation in Healthcare.

Tribo-Behaviors of Biomaterials and their Applications: Fundamentals, Recent Advancements, and Future Trends
by Jawahar Paulraj Prasun Chakraborti V. Anandakrishnan S. SathishkumarTribo-Behaviors of Biomaterials and Their Applications enables the reader to make an informed choice in the selection of biomaterials that aid the creation of safe and long-lasting surgical devices. Looking at metals, ceramics, and polymers with craniofacial, cardiovascular, spinal, dentistry, and orthopedic applications, this book is an essential guide to tribology in biomaterials.Handling wear within biodevices is a pressing issue due to the continuous friction and corrosion within the body. It is further complicated by the involvement of body fluids, which can lead to revision surgery to relieve pain. In order to lessen this, engineers can choose a biomaterial better suited to the application. Including detailed discussion of the properties of each biomaterial, this book covers the behaviors of implants, along with the methods and standards applied to devices. It has chapters on metals, ceramics, and polymers. It also covers body fluid lubrication and the physiological effects they have on implants, along with their tribo-corrosion behaviors.This book will be of interest to engineers and researchers in the field of biomechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing engineering, alongside all those researching tribology and nanocomposites.
Tribology in Total Hip Arthroplasty
by Karl KnahrDuring the 2010 EFORT Congress in Madrid, many interesting topics relating to tribology in total hip arthroplasty were discussed during a special day devoted entirely to the subject. So successful was the day, and such was the broad interest in the discussions, that EFORT decided that publication of all the presentations would be warmly welcomed by fellow professionals who were unable to attend. This book is the result. It includes detailed information on the different articulating materials and the wear to which they are subject. The various factors that contribute to bearing performance and control wear are thoroughly evaluated, and careful consideration is given to the technology and design solutions proposed with a view to producing low-wearing hip joints. This book will be of interest both to novices who want to learn more about the field and to experienced orthopaedic surgeons wishing to keep abreast of the latest developments.
Tribology in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
by Karl KnahrWear and osteolysis are still the most important potential problems in total hip and knee arthroplasty. Although technology in arthroplasty has been improved dramatically during the past decade, the clinical data relating to some implants reveal that many concerns remain. During the "Tribology Day" within the scientific programme of the 2013 EFORT Congress in Istanbul, the main topics included these concerns as well as the benefits of the materials most commonly used in total hip and knee arthroplasty. This book includes the presentations delivered on the day and covers a range of interesting issues regarding metal, ceramic, and polyethylene articulations. It provides information on the current concepts relating to tribology in total hip arthroplasty and offers a critical outlook on possible improvements in total knee arthroplasty.
