Review Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling (Handbooks in Pharmacology and Toxicology) / CRC:Up to the last decade or so, most general modeling approaches to the study of molecular components of biological responses have required significant amount of computer time, expertise, and resources, as well as highly specialized and often custom-written programs. With Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling you don't have to be a computer scientist to learn valuable modeling techniques. The book represents the first single-volume book that describes general approaches to computer modeling as they apply to the biomedical professions, particularly in the realms of pharmacology and biochemistry. Bringing together contributions from researchers with hands-on expertise, the book is loaded with examples, and it also encompasses different types of computer modeling approaches. In fact, the text supports each modeling approach with clinical examples. It thereby provides a convenient source of readily applicable modeling information. In addition, the book offers easy-to-follow information and presents it in a how-to manner that minimizes the use of mathematical jargon. Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling includes chapters on equilibrium modeling, dynamic/kinetic modeling, and stochastic modeling, as well as overviews of the application of models to experimental data. With the ubiquitous presence of desktops and notebook computers in biomedical environments, Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling provides you with an unprecedented means for readily addressing data analysis or computer modeling problems.

Review Biomedical Signal Analysis: A Case-Study Approach (IEEE Press Series on Biomedical Engineering) / Wiley-IEEE Press:The development of techniques to analyze biomedical signals, such as electro-cardiograms, has dramatically affected countless lives by making possible improved noninvasive diagnosis, online monitoring of critically ill patients, and rehabilitation and sensory aids for the handicapped. Rangaraj Rangayyan supplies a practical, hands-on field guide to this constantly evolving technology in Biomedical Signal Analysis, focusing on the diagnostic challenges that medical professionals continue to face. Dr. Rangayyan applies a problem-solving approach to his study. Each chapter begins with the statement of a different biomedical signal problem, followed by a selection of real-life case studies and the associated signals. Signal processing, modeling, or analysis techniques are then presented, starting with relatively simple "textbook" methods, followed by more sophisticated research approaches. The chapter concludes with one or more application solutions; illustrations of real-life biomedical signals and their derivatives are included throughout. Among the topics addressed are: Concurrent, coupled, and correlated processes Filtering for removal of artifacts Event detection and characterization Frequency-domain characterization Modeling biomedical systems Analysis of nonstationary signals Pattern classification and diagnostic decision The chapters also present a number of laboratory exercises, study questions, and problems to facilitate preparation for class examinations and practical applications. Biomedical Signal Analysis provides a definitive resource for upper-level under-graduate and graduate engineering students, as well as for practicing engineers, computer scientists, information technologists, medical physicists, and data processing specialists. An authoritative assessment of the problems and applications of biomedical signals, rooted in practical case studies An Instructor Support FTP site is available from the Wiley editorial department: ftp://ftp.

Review Vascular Mechanics and Pathology / Springer:Opening new doors for interdisciplinary research, Vascular Mechanics and Pathology establishes a correlation between vascular mechanics and pathology that could lead to the reduction of vascular diseases, as well as the development of new treatments. Vascular Mechanics and Pathology focuses on the artery and arterial diseases. As the fundamental functions of the artery are to serve as a conduit of blood flow and as a container of blood pressure, Vascular Mechanics and Pathology describes both the general principles and the occurrence of stress concentration at the pressure vessel junctions and examines the role of beta-blockers in the reduction of atherosclerosis and related complications. This cutting-edge work presents the use of veins as arterial grafts and discusses the role of vein valves in graft stenosis. Vascular Mechanics and Pathology illustrates aneurysm formation, growth, and rupture, using pressure vessel principles. This new work details the investigation of, amongst other topics, aortic dissection, showing for the first time that the aortic root mechanics plays a vital role in the development of this pathology. Key topics: Atherosclerosis Structure and Mechanics of the Artery Pressure Vessel Principles Pressure Vessel Intersections Stress Concentration in the Artery Endothelial Cells and Low Density Lipoproteins at the Branch Smooth Muscle Cells and Stretch Stress Reduction and Atherosclerosis Reduction The Vein Graft Anastomosis Anastomotic Aneurysms and Anastomotic Intimal Hyperplasia Intracranial Aneurysms Aortic Aneurysms Aortic Dissection. Vascular Mechanics and Pathology is essential reading for cardiovascular researchers, surgeons, cardiologists, pathologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, anatomists, students in biomedical engineering, and manufacturers of medical devices.

Review Medical Laboratory Technology: Pearls Of Wisdom (Pearls of Wisdom) / Boston Medical Publishing:"MLT Pearls of Wisdom" is intended to serve as a study aid to improve student performance on national certification examinations in medical laboratory technology (clinical laboratory science) at both the technician and technologist levels. (Technician candidates may skip the chapter on management and education. ) The new organization of topics in the second edition also makes the book useful to students as they prepare for examinations in their educational programs and to laboratory personnel who are cross-training. The book is based on over twenty years of experience teaching hundreds of students who have successfully passed certification examinations at both technician and technologist levels. Use of this book alone, however, does not guarantee a passing score. Readers are encouraged to consult appropriate textbooks to add to their understanding of topics. No attempt was made to simulate examination questions. The book is written in rapid-fire question/answer format, without distracters that may be mistakenly assimilated as the correct answer. Readers are challenged to generate their own answer rather than choosing one based on recognition or guessing. The two check boxes next to each question are a time-management aid that enable the reader to keep track of correct and incorrect answers and quickly identify topics that require further study. [+]Many of the answers provide additional information beyond what was requested in the question. These questions and answers provide a review of the knowledge base required to answer typical examination questions.
