Biomedical Engineering and its Applications in Healthcare by
This book illustrates the significance of biomedical engineering in modern healthcare systems. Biomedical engineering plays an important role in a range of areas, from diagnosis and analysis to treatment and recovery and has entered the public consciousness through the proliferation of implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers and artificial hips, as well as the more futuristic technologies such as stem cell engineering and 3-D printing of biological organs. Starting with an introduction to biomedical engineering, the book then discusses various tools and techniques for medical diagnostics and treatment and recent advances. It also provides comprehensive and integrated information on rehabilitation engineering, including the design of artificial body parts, and the underlying principles, and standards. It also presents a conceptual framework to clarify the relationship between ethical policies in medical practice and philosophical moral reasoning. Lastly, the book highlights a number of challenges associated with modern healthcare technologies.

Biomedical Translational Research From Disease Diagnosis to Treatment by
The second volume of the Biomedical translational research discusses advancements in biomedical research for understanding the pathophysiology of various diseases towards improving diagnosis and treatment. It presents the integration of molecular-based technologies, clinical genomics, and medical informatics to improve diagnostic and treatment strategies. Further, the book reviews molecular genomics approaches for diagnosis and managing tuberculosis. It also covers the innovative strategies for cancer treatment through targeting metabolic pathways, tumor microenvironment, cancer stem cells, and immune cells. It also illuminates novel strategies for heart failure diagnosis and therapeutic approaches for the treatment of heart failure. It discusses improvements in translational research for discovery of new diagnostic tests, identifying novel biomarkers and drugable targets, and predicting optimal treatments based on understanding the underlying molecular basis of the disease. Lastly, it reviews the preclinical models of restenosis and their application and limitation in the evaluation of device-based interventional technologies for the treatment of coronary artery diseases.

Human Genome Structure, Function and Clinical Considerations by
This book provides a detailed evidence-based overview of the latest developments in how the structure of the human genome is relevant to the health professional. It features comprehensive reviews of genome science including human chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA structure, protein-coding and noncoding genes, and the diverse classes of repeat elements of the human genome. These concepts are then built upon to provide context as to how they functionally relate to differences in phenotypic traits that can be observed in human populations. Guidance is also provided on how this information can be applied by the medical practitioner in day-to-day clinical practice. Human Genome Structure, Function and Clinical Considerations collates the latest developments in genome science and current methods for genome analysis that are relevant for the clinician, researcher and scientist who utilises precision medicine techniques and is an essential resource for any such practitioner.

Career Advice for Young Scientists in Biomedical Research How to Think Like a Principal Investigator by
Pursuing a career in biomedical research can be daunting, considering the stiffer competition and uncertain career prospects in academia. This book summarizes career advice gathered during in-depth interviews with 106 biomedical scientists who lead their own laboratories. The participating principal investigators are from 44 research institutions in 11 countries. This book is unique in that it provides a glimpse into the mindset of principal investigators. Here, the reader will learn about common thought patterns and values, as well as the range of opinions and ways of thinking to be found among a large group of active principal investigators - without having to read more than a hundred individual autobiographies. The book will benefit all PhD students who want to learn more about their supervisor's mindset in order to successfully complete their projects. It can help freshly graduated PhDs planning to pursue an academic career, and MDs contemplating a career in research, to decide whether they truly want to embark on this path. Lastly, it can offer young principal investigators a source of inspiration on how to succeed and achieve their goals.
