Trends of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data for E-Health
This book aims to present evidence of the crucial importance of artificial intelligence and big data for medical decision making and data analysis in different fields of E-Health such as radiology, cancer prevention, drugs discovery, COVID-19 detection, AI and blockchain, cardiac imaging, cybersecurity, etc. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence have the potential to lead the methodology of healthcare providers using sophisticated technologies for accurate analysis of clinical data repositories and assist in making informed decisions, while ensuring confidentiality and data security. The challenges of intelligent Health depend basically on the opportunities provided by the community of experts to make health systems more sustainable. In intelligent healthcare, Big Data is based on massive data collected routinely or automatically, and stored electronically. The re-usability of this data could include links between existing databases to improve theperformance and efficiency of the health system.Big data and artificial intelligence data will produce significant and accurate results to support medical decision making. The process would benefit from patient's data and their clinical history to support the experts in providing a more personalized medical overview. The intelligent health approach has the potential to allow a close surveillance of the patient's progress during therapy.

Ambulatory Medicine
This guide began as a manual for family medicine residents. Over time it evolved into a fairly complete coverage of most of the outpatient issues seen in their training. In response to their urging, I set out on the journey to convert the manual into the manuscript for this book. The book is intended for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. It serves three purposes: (1) as a quick reference for primary care providers to use in the clinic when seeing patients, (2) as a textbook, and (3) as a study guide for Board examinations. It covers a great number of topics briefly to allow quick reading. To allow fast access, the chapters are arranged in alphabetical order beginning with Chapter 1: Allergy and ending with Chapter 27: Women's Health. Topics within chapters also are arranged in alphabetical order, again to allow quick access.
Journeys of Women Leaders Pushing Boundaries in Asia and Healthcare
This book brings together a collective of Women Leaders in Healthcare to share their real-life leadership journey in the Asian continent, from a personal angle (heart) and grounded on science (data). They are connected by a strong passion to help improve patient lives and advance women's leadership in this dynamic, emerging region of Asia, still swaying between tradition and modernity. This is not an academic book but a compendium of inspirational stories meant to provide authentic and pragmatic guidance for women who want to advance their careers in healthcare in Asia, to reduce gender inequality and give a new meaning to the leadership of tomorrow, truly inclusive and diverse.Beyond gender, aspiring leaders can find inspiration from this compendium to succeed in the Asia context, from Japan to India, South East Asia and the Middle East. Although the challenges shared were experienced by the women-authors from diverse backgrounds and leadership, women and men alike can relate to many of the topics covered in the book. The resulting reflections can help the readers more efficiently climb the corporate ladder and become better leaders, to shape a more equitable future. This book provides insights for organizations in their diversity, equity and inclusion endeavors, to develop policies that foster talents in Asia and provide better support to women in leadership positions. It is also a useful read for students and researchers of leadership and gender studies.
Relationship Between Healthcare Delivery, Public Policy, and Public and Community Health
Relationship Between Healthcare Delivery, Public Policy, and Public and Community Health provides an examination of public health policy and its implications for public and community health services. This content focuses on an exploration of the policy development process, including the legislative process. Public and private health politics are complex and affect services, professional practice, and the healthcare workforce. The policy development process requires engagement from many stakeholders, individual healthcare providers and organizations, and must include input from health professional education, communities and government organizations, insurers, those involved in health policy and health research, and consumers. As with all facets of healthcare services, policy development must consider diversity, equity, and inclusion; the social determinants of health; disparities; population health; and vulnerable populations. Individual topics addressed in the guide include the impact of COVID-19 on populational health management and public policy, health literacy, the implementation of public policies, policy funding, and more. Relationship Between Healthcare Delivery, Public Policy, and Public and Community Health is part of the Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing, a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice.
Research Partners with Lived Experience
This book aims to foster collaborations between patients who have intense lived experience with a medical condition or family violence and researchers investigating them. Inviting patients or survivors into the research team is found to have significant advantages, and chapters review the literature on the benefits they can bring to investigative research teams. The collaboration can take place at multiple stages of research from helping to research design, participating in co-investigators, contributing to the interpretation of results, etc. The conditions addressed in this book include medical conditions from anxiety, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, lupus, asthma, chronic kidney disease, etc. The authors are higher degree students, academics, and active research team members who share their experiences. This is be instrumental in helping patients and survivors decide whether to transition to research. It will also support research team leaders in determining how to benefit from the new perspectives researchers with lived experience bring. The personal narratives provide insight into the challenges and rewards of having lived experience while conducting research. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in clinical fields who have been touched by firsthand exposure to a condition and have been motivated to conduct research in the respective fields. The chapters will enrich understanding for adult patients and survivors and for parents of children suffering intense experiences, who engage with the latest research publications. It will also broaden the understanding of medical, biomedical, and health sciences students interested in reading the narrative accounts of patients and survivors. Readers will gain refreshing perspectives and insights. The book relates to patients managing all kinds of noncommunicable diseases or experiences of violence, and how they can share their valuable experiences into future advancementto research. It is related to SDG 3, good health and well-being.
Doctor-Patient Communication Skills
With the use of common, practical real-life analogies, the author is able to use clinical vignettes to breakdown often complex medical issues into concepts that are easy for patients/families to understand. Dr. Bush is an interventional/clinical cardiologist that has practiced at The Cleveland Clinic (Weston) since 1990. His practice consists of performing invasive/interventional procedures, clinical cardiology, and in mentoring the next generation of cardiologists. He currently has a "5 star" rating with every major internet healthcare grading service, and previous accolades have included: Clinician of the Year, Award for Excellence in Doctor Communication, Master Clinician Award, and listed in Castle Connolly Top Doctors for the past 25+ years. This book is written for health care providers, with a major focus on medical students, residents, fellows, and early career physicians. With little emphasis on doctor-patient communication skills during formal training, these essential skills have to be developed on the job. Although many of the clinical examples relate to cardiology patients, the thought process can be applied not only to other areas in medicine, but to other professions as well. The author was motivated by the feedback received over the years from the countless trainees that he has mentored, but more importantly, by the many patients whose life he has impacted. The reader will find this information not only enjoyable, but will leave with a rejuvenated passion towards patient care. Success in this area will translate into improved patient compliance, improved physician satisfaction, reduced liability, and most importantly, improved patient outcomes.

Thinking about Thinking
Why do some clinicians make better decisions than others? Do all clinicians become better decision-makers over time?Is decision-making in healthcare an independent and trainable skill? This book is about the practice of medicine and the decision-making of the people we entrust with our care. While treatments, technologies and professional roles have evolved over the years, the essential act of decision-making has remained constant.Through personal experience, research and feedback from colleagues across healthcare, the authors examine how metacognition - or thinking about thinking - can provide a toolkit with which to improve the decision-making of all healthcare professionals.The rise of digital tools and AI-based clinical support systems makes this a critical time to grasp how human decision-makers operate and how to best harness the increasing volume of healthcare data available.This is a thought-provoking read for professionals and curious minds alike, packed with ideas and practical advice about how to improve decision-making in healthcare and deliver better outcomes for patients.
The MENA Region and COVID-19
Focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, which comprises some of the world's richest countries next to some of the poorest, this book offers excellent insights into the discriminatory consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.With a geographic focus on the MENA region, the multidisciplinary case studies collected in this edited volume reveal that the coronavirus's impact patterns are a question of two variables: governance performance and socioeconomic potency. Given the global, unprecedented, complex, and systemic nature of COVID-19 - and its long-term implications for societies, governments, international organisations, citizens and corporations - this volume entails a relevance to regions undergoing similar dynamics. Analyses in the book, therefore, have implications for the comparative study of the pandemic and its impact on societies around the globe. Understanding related dynamics and implications, and making use of lessons learned, are a pathway to deal with future similar crises. Questions covered in the volume are relevant to geopolitics, social implications and the relations between political leaders and citizens as beings embedded in various strategies of communication. The volume will appeal to scholars of international politics, political science, risk or crisis governance, economics and sociology, human rights and security, political communication and public health.The Open Access version of this book, available at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution- Non Commercial- No Derivatives 4.0 licence.
Managing a Hospital
This book demonstrates how hospitals can be transformed into dynamic, patient-centered, and cost-effective organizations. It describes systems for providing safe, high-quality medical services and outlines the importance of data for health outcomes. In this regard, the book underscores the importance of decision-making and delegation, as well as the effective use of administrative staff, new technologies, and evidence-based medicine to benefit patients and boost efficiency. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of applying metrics to improve cost-effectiveness. Although primarily intended as a hands-on book for clinical leaders, it also considers hospitals from a broader societal perspective, making it of interest to leaders at all organizational levels in hospitals and to policymakers alike.
Life Science Careers
This book is written for the many Life Science PhD students who may pursue careers outside of academic research. Even though the biggest portion of students will ultimately pursue other paths, university education trains them mostly for the academic track. Students often miss information, resources, contacts, or opportunities to explore other options. In response, the editors assembled a diverse group of authors from all fields related to Life Science research. The chapters offer a peek behind the curtain of each industry and offer guidance on how to move towards such roles. Through a high level of uniformity, students will get a plethora of career stories, each providing job opportunities, job descriptions, resources, and useful contact information. The purpose of this volume is to illustrate the many excellent opportunities that are available to life science PhDs, which will still allow them to make significant contributions to science.

Management of Shock - Recent Advances
Recent advancements have resulted in improved diagnosis and management of patients who present with shock in clinical practice. Shock can lead to decreased tissue perfusion and thus decreased oxygenation, resulting in poorer outcomes. Timely diagnosis and appropriate interventions are crucial to break the cascade of events and thus improve outcomes in patients with shock. This book presents a comprehensive overview of shock, including information on its etiology, detection, and management.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support Therapy
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is very quickly becoming a mainstream therapy for patients experiencing acute, severe, and often medically refractory cardiopulmonary failure. Over the years, the technology has improved and the guidelines, protocols, and indications for therapy have been refined. Similar to other "resource-intensive" technologies in which success or failure is often seen and experienced in the setting of a brief hospitalization, there is often much interest and intrigue when a patient is supported on ECMO. Success requires a team effort and a tremendous amount of hard work and effective communication. The hope is that this text will serve as a cornerstone for program growth and development as well as an inspiration for those intrigued by the potential benefits of ECMO.
Post COVID-19 - Effects on Human Health
This book discusses post-COVID health conditions, ranging from mental health issues to central nervous system complications.

The Digital Healthcare Revolution
The healthcare system is experiencing unprecedented challenges and opportunities that will revolutionize the sector. The rising demand for health services and the resources restrictions have put increased pressure on healthcare organizations to improve cost-efficiency and service offerings. The pandemic has further exacerbated the main pressure points of the healthcare sector. Currently, the shift towards patient centricity is gaining momentum, therefore there is a need to rethink how health systems can embrace this concept, in particular with digitization, service innovation and value co-creation. Focusing on digital healthcare, this book proposes a theoretical framework, along with managerial implications, on moving towards a patient-centric model. It explores the role of digitization and innovation in solving existing challenges in the sector, and includes the concept of 'One Digital Health', which refers to global health and transformation and recognizesthe importance of the connection between humans, animals, nature and the interrelation of different health systems. With clear implications to Sustainable Development Goal 3: 'Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages, ' the authors argue that innovative transformation in the sector can support the Agenda 2030.

Social Work in General Practice
In the early 1970s general practitioners were well aware that they were being asked to deal not only with physical illness in their patients but also with the stresses relating to social and emotional problems. Increasingly often they were working together with health visitors and social workers in attempting to respond more effectively to these demands.Originally published in 1972, this study describes the attachment of a social worker to a group general medical practice in London, indicating why, for all social groups, the general practice is an appropriate point at which psychosocial problems may be identified and treated. The authors describe the nature and range of patients' problems that come to light in the consulting room; how patients present their problems to the social worker; and the kind of help the social worker is able to offer. They explore the extent to which the general practice setting provides opportunities for preventive therapy and further describe how social work in general practice can most effectively be related to existing social services in the community, particularly to the reorganised personal social services. Their findings are supported throughout by illuminating case studies. The book also discusses the integration of the social worker into the general practice team, the problems that have to be solved and the mutual enlightenment that results.This emerges as an extremely encouraging and instructive experiment, which will immediately interest social service departments and social workers, doctors and nurses, both students and those in practice. The wide spectrum of social problems encountered and dealt with by the social worker in a general practice make it a particularly stimulating account.
Organising for Social Change
Originally published in 1976, the aim of this book was to understand the contribution of community work to meeting some of the problems to be found in many of Britain's inner city neighbourhoods. It describes the community work process and the tasks, roles and skills of the professional community worker as he interacts with neighbourhood groups and service agencies. The author also indicates some of the strengths of collective action and its likely benefits and costs to those who participate. The book includes an examination of how to effect changes in the delivery of services from statutory and voluntary agencies, as well as an assessment of the community project of which the author was a staff member. The book is a contribution to the theory of community work and practice, and it is based upon the experience of those who worked in, and used, the Southwark Community Project, established by the National Institute for Social Work. It was written for practitioners, teachers and students of community work, as well as for other closely involved in community affairs such as teachers, playground workers, planners and social workers.

The Future Circle of Healthcare
The past decade has brought to the fore the critical need to constantly envision and consider various scenarios where ongoing trends and sudden changes could together alter the provision of healthcare and the direction of medical research. This book brings together scholars whose areas of expertise represent different themes that are essential to understanding how healthcare might change and evolve over the next decade. What lessons can one take away from current and past developments? The themes explored by the book rest on four pillars. The first is the rapid pace and ubiquity of technological advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, additive manufacturing and wearable electronics. The second pillar concerns healthy aging, longevity and the management of chronic diseases. The third is the imperative to remain cognizant of the ethical dimensions of medical decisions, adapting bioethics to ongoing changes in healthcare provision. Finally, the fourth pillar relates to how uncertainty in different domains of medical knowledge can be mitigated and translated into clinical practice. For example, how should uncertainty with the results of clinical trials for a new treatment be dealt with? What cost-benefit analyses would be most appropriate for the situation? Chapter authors identify respective challenges and promising opportunities, discussing how these could contribute to envisioning the future scope of healthcare when it comes to providing medical, economic and ethical values to human societies.Chapters 1, 4, 12, and 20 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

The Scientific Basis of Integrative Health
Since the first suffering supplicant offered a prayer to his god or the first mother cradled an ailing child in her caring arms, we have witnessed how human health and healing go beyond any inventory of parts and infusion of chemicals. We humans are a complex melding of thought, emotion, spirit and energy and each of those components is as critical to our well-being as our physiological status. Even if we are just beginning to quantify and document these seemingly intangible aspect, to ignore them in the practice of medicine is neglect and an invitation to do harm.
