| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Predictive, Preventive, and Personalised Medicine: From Bench to Bedside Halina Podbielska, Marko Kapalla, 2023-12-01 This volume presents advanced bio/medical sciences with a particular value for translating research achievements into daily medical practice in the framework of Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (3PM/PPPM). First two decades of the 21st century are characterised by epidemics of non-communicable diseases such as many hundreds of millions of patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases and the type 2 diabetes mellitus, breast, lung, liver and prostate malignancies, neurological, sleep, mood and eye disorders, amongst others. Consequent socio-economic burden is tremendous. Unprecedented decrease in age of maladaptive individuals has been reported. The absolute majority of expanding non-communicable disorders carry a chronic character, over a couple of years progressing from reversible suboptimal health conditions to irreversible severe pathologies and cascading collateral complications. The paradigm change from reactive to predictive preventive and personalised medicine is essential to promote population health by application of individualised patient profiling, multi-parametric analysis leading to cost-effective targeted prevention. To this end, inadequate data for risk assessment on speed and urgency of COVID-19, combined with increased globalization of human society, led to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Despite an abundance of digital methods that could be used in slowing or stopping this virus and future pandemics, the world remains unprepared, and lessons have not been learned from previous cases of pandemics. The book presents PPPM strategies which might be of great clinical utility for future pandemics. In a long-term way, a significantly improved healthcare economy is one of the clear benefits of the proposed paradigm shift; a tight collaboration between all stakeholders including scientific community, healthcare providers, patient organisations, policy-makers and educators is analysed for the smooth implementation of the 3PM concepts. Further issues linked to big data management and medical ethics have to be carefully treated in the context of application of artificial intelligence in medicine. |

| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Applications of Machine Learning and Deep Learning on Biological Data Faheem Masoodi, Mohammad Quasim, Syed Bukhari, Sarvottam Dixit, Shadab Alam, 2023-03-13 The automated learning of machines characterizes machine learning (ML). It focuses on making data-driven predictions using programmed algorithms. ML has several applications, including bioinformatics, which is a discipline of study and practice that deals with applying computational derivations to obtain biological data. It involves the collection, retrieval, storage, manipulation, and modeling of data for analysis or prediction made using customized software. Previously, comprehensive programming of bioinformatical algorithms was an extremely laborious task for such applications as predicting protein structures. Now, algorithms using ML and deep learning (DL) have increased the speed and efficacy of programming such algorithms. Applications of Machine Learning and Deep Learning on Biological Data is an examination of applying ML and DL to such areas as proteomics, genomics, microarrays, text mining, and systems biology. The key objective is to cover ML applications to biological science problems, focusing on problems related to bioinformatics. The book looks at cutting-edge research topics and methodologies in ML applied to the rapidly advancing discipline of bioinformatics. ML and DL applied to biological and neuroimaging data can open new frontiers for biomedical engineering, such as refining the understanding of complex diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Advances in this field could eventually lead to the development of precision medicine and automated diagnostic tools capable of tailoring medical treatments to individual lifestyles, variability, and the environment. Highlights include: Artificial Intelligence in treating and diagnosing schizophrenia An analysis of ML’s and DL’s financial effect on healthcare An XGBoost-based classification method for breast cancer classification Using ML to predict squamous diseases ML and DL applications in genomics and proteomics Applying ML and DL to biological data |

| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Mechanisms underlying firing in healthy and sick human motoneurons Parveen N.S. Bawa, Maria Piotrkiewicz, Annie Schmied, 2015-07-08 Since the latter half of the twentieth century an enormous amount of knowledge about mammalian motoneuron pools has been collected. This progress was enabled mostly by the development of the precise techniques of intracellular recordings in acute animal experiments, many of which were conducted under deep anaesthesia. Recently obtained evidence indicates that anaesthetics used at that times changed certain properties of the cell membrane, which might affect firing of the neuron. Experiments on normal humans gets around this problem, which lets one compare MN firing characteristics in humans and reduced preparations. Firing pattern of human motoneurons is obtained indirectly by recording from a few muscle fibres of a motor unit. Since there is one-to-one relationship between motor unit and motoneuron firing, the statistical analysis of motor unit firing is equivalent to the analysis of motoneuron firing. This analysis, based on the essential knowledge about motoneuron physiology, gained from the direct measurements in animal experiments and verified by computer simulations, allows one to draw conclusions about the physiological properties of human motoneurons. For obvious reasons, the deductions made on properties of human motoneuron from these analyses should be accepted with caution. On the other hand, human experiments provide the unique opportunity to study intact motoneurons during normal physiological behavior. Thus, combining information obtained from animal and human experiments, and computer simulations, gives insight into underexplored problems of motor control. This E-book contains a collection of articles with range of exciting findings on the physiology and pathology of human motoneurons. The collection covers such important issues concerning firing of healthy motoneurons as recruitment and rate coding as well as motoneuron excitability, discusses intrinsic motoneuron properties disclosed by studying double discharges, and provides information on broad spectrum of motoneuron pathology. It is our hope that this collection promotes further expansion of knowledge on human motoneurons. |

| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Research Anthology on Mental Health Stigma, Education, and Treatment Management Association, Information Resources, 2021-02-05 In times of uncertainty and crisis, the mental health of individuals become a concern as added stressors and pressures can cause depression, anxiety, and stress. Today, especially with more people than ever experiencing these effects due to the Covid-19 epidemic and all that comes along with it, discourse around mental health has gained heightened urgency. While there have always been stigmas surrounding mental health, the continued display of these biases can add to an already distressing situation for struggling individuals. Despite the experience of mental health issues becoming normalized, it remains important for these issues to be addressed along with adequate education about mental health so that it becomes normalized and discussed in ways that are beneficial for society and those affected. Along with raising awareness of mental health in general, there should be a continued focus on treatment options, methods, and modes for healthcare delivery. The Research Anthology on Mental Health Stigma, Education, and Treatment explores the latest research on the newest advancements in mental health, best practices and new research on treatment, and the need for education and awareness to mitigate the stigma that surrounds discussions on mental health. The chapters will cover new technologies that are impacting delivery modes for treatment, the latest methods and models for treatment options, how education on mental health is delivered and developed, and how mental health is viewed and discussed. It is a comprehensive view of mental health from both a societal and medical standpoint and examines mental health issues in children and adults from all ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds and in a variety of professions, including healthcare, emergency services, and the military. This book is ideal for psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, religious leaders, mental health support agencies and organizations, medical professionals, teachers, researchers, students, academicians, mental health practitioners, and more. |
| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Medical Image Understanding Technology Ryszard Tadeusiewicz, 2012-08-27 A detailed description of a new approach to perceptual analysis and processing of medical images is given.

| biocybernetics and biomedical engineering: Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition Petra Perner, Atsushi Imiya, 2005-07-08 We met again in front of the statue of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz in the city of Leipzig. Leibniz, a famous son of Leipzig, planned automatic logical inference using symbolic computation, aimed to collate all human knowledge. Today, artificial intelligence deals with large amounts of data and knowledge and finds new information using machine learning and data mining. Machine learning and data mining are irreplaceable subjects and tools for the theory of pattern recognition and in applications of pattern recognition such as bioinformatics and data retrieval. This was the fourth edition of MLDM in Pattern Recognition which is the main event of Technical Committee 17 of the International Association for Pattern Recognition; it started out as a workshop and continued as a conference in 2003. Today, there are many international meetings which are titled “machine learning” and “data mining”, whose topics are text mining, knowledge discovery, and applications. This meeting from the first focused on aspects of machine learning and data mining in pattern recognition problems. We planned to reorganize classical and well-established pattern recognition paradigms from the viewpoints of machine learning and data mining. Though it was a challenging program in the late 1990s, the idea has inspired new starting points in pattern recognition and effects in other areas such as cognitive computer vision. |
