Medical Image Synthesis
Image synthesis across and within medical imaging modalities is an active area of research with broad applications in radiology and radiation oncology. This book covers the principles and methods of medical image synthesis, along with state-of-the-art research.First, various traditional non-learning-based, traditional machine-learning-based, and recent deep-learning-based medical image synthesis methods are reviewed. Second, specific applications of different inter- and intra-modality image synthesis tasks and of synthetic image-aided segmentation and registration are introduced and summarized, listing and highlighting the proposed methods, study designs, and reported performances with the related clinical applications of representative studies. Third, the clinical usages of medical image synthesis, such as treatment planning and image-guided adaptive radiotherapy, are discussed. Last, the limitations and current challenges of various medical synthesis applications are explored, along with future trends and potential solutions to solve these difficulties.The benefits of medical image synthesis have sparked growing interest in a number of advanced clinical applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiation therapy treatment planning and positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI scanning. This book will be a comprehensive and exciting resource for undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and practitioners.

A fifth volume of infectious disease clinical pearls covering the common (influenza, staph) to the rare: rare bacteria in common locations, common bacteria in rare locations, and one-of-a-kind diagnostic dilemmas that in some cases are never fully resolved. Following Pasteur's dictum that "the microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything," Crislip introduces the reader to a panoply of host factors in infection, from HIV infection to intravenous drug use to unusual variations in the immune system or the anatomy.

The colloid cyst of the third ventricle
The colloid cyst of the third ventricle is a benign dysembryoplastic tumor, very rare, representing 0.2 to 2% of brain tumors. It is a tumor mainly of adults in their 30s and 40s, with a male predominance. It is a rounded cystic lesion, a few millimeters to several centimeters for the largest, containing a gelatinous substance more or less liquid. The main symptom is HTIC. Many colloid cysts are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally. MRI is the best examination to diagnose this pathology. The treatment is surgical, the therapeutic modalities are multiple, its removal without postoperative morbidity must be the rule.

Omics Technologies for Clinical Diagnosis and Gene Therapy
Genetic disorders have been the focus of scientists for a long time. The emergence of next-generation sequencing techniques has ushered a new era in genetics and several developments have occurred in human genetics. The scientific perspective has also been widened with omics technologies that allow researchers to analyze genetic sequences and their expression products. An integrated approach is being used not only for diagnosis but also for disease management and therapeutic purposes. This book highlights emerging areas of omics technology and its application in the diagnosis and management of human genetic disorders. The book covers three areas of research and implementation: 1) Diagnosis (covering conventional strategies to next-generation platforms). This section focuses on the role of in silico analysis, databases and multi-omics of single-cell which will help in designing better management strategies. 2) Disease Management and therapeutic interventions. This section starts with genetic counselling and progresses to more specific techniques such as pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, gene editing techniques and their applications in gene therapies and regenerative medicine. 3) Case studies. This section discusses the applications and success of all the above-mentioned strategies on selected human disorders. This book serves as a handy reference for students and academics studying advanced omics techniques in biochemistry and molecular genetics as part of courses in life sciences, pharmacology and medicine.
WORKBOOK for Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition
About the Workbook: This workbook provides a collection of easy-to-use tools and helpful tips to guide novice to expert students and clinicians to bring EBP improvements into clinical practice and organizations. This workbook is organized based on the Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care(c). This workbook provides the tools included in the main textbook and also contains the Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework(c) to help you and your team adopt and sustain the practice change.About the Textbook: The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action This failure is rarely due to a lack of information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes down to a simple lack of tools and the absence of a clear plan to integrate EBP into care. Problem solved! Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested, application-oriented EBP resource of The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care. This book offers a proven, detailed plan to help nurses and healthcare professionals promote and achieve EBP adoption and implementation.Throughout this practical, easy-to-use manual, the authors supply strategies, tools, and tips that show healthcare leaders how to prepare, apply, and appraise any EBP process model. Inside are valuable recommendations on topic selection, literature searches, research and evidence review, implementation, and evaluation. This new edition includes: NEW: An evidence funnel approach that flips the traditional evidence pyramidNEW: Updates to the EBP Evaluation Framework (KABOB) that include actionable local data to create sustainable changeNEW: Revised implementation strategies with clinician and patient examplesNEW: Focus on engaging patients in the processNEW: Ways to de-implement practices that are not evidence-based, are ineffective, or are even harmful

Maternal Mortality - Lessons Learnt from Autopsy
The book discusses about 45 cases of maternal autopsies. These maternal mortalities are related to pregnancy-related diseases, pre-existing diseases that worsen or manifest during pregnancy and diseases for which pregnant patient has increased risk. As the study of maternal mortality is a healthcare quality indicator and plays an important role in the improvement of obstetric care, the book aims at discussing autopsy findings, which is the gold standard for establishing not only the causes of death, but also to uncover the various pathological lesions produced by the physiologic phenomenon of pregnancy. This helps in identifying the direct and indirect causes, which can be reviewed at multidisciplinary review meetings.The chapters are arranged according to direct and indirect causes of maternal death, involving varied target organ systems i.e. central nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastro-intestinal tract, hepato-biliary system and pancreas, urinary system, female genital tract and others. However, it does not include diseases coincidental in pregnancy.Each case begins with the complete case history (age, duration of pregnancy, clinical presentation, investigations, clinical diagnosis, therapy, and course during ward stay, if any), autopsy findings, followed by a clinico-pathological discussion and includes appropriate gross organ and microscopic images. The book caters to the specialists in pathology, obstetrics, general medicine, critical care, surgery, pulmonologists, cardiology and all those involved in the care of pregnant women.
The Elusive Road Towards Effective Cancer Prevention and Treatment
