Lung Function in Health and Disease: Basic Concepts of Respiratory Physiology and Pathophysiology

Camillo Peracchia, Nasr H. Anaizi

Beschreibung

This reference presents basic concepts of respiratory function in normal and diseased states. The volume stresses a quantitative approach to physical parameters used as indicators of normal and diseased respiratory functions. The contents of this reference encourages medical students, residents and fellows to become “clinical detectives”, by presenting information aimed at enhancing their understanding of how normal respiratory mechanisms are altered by diseases that affect pulmonary ventilation and/or blood perfusion, tissue oxygenation, acid-base balance, respiratory mechanics, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, control of breathing, and so on. 
This book is intended for first and second year medical students as well as for residents and fellows, especially in disciplines such as anesthesiology and pulmonary medicine. In addition, the unique mechanistic approach of this book also provides a useful reference for teachers of respiratory physiology who are not involved in respiratory research or have not been specifically trained in organ-system physiology; this book fills this gap by providing modern physiology faculty some tools for learning the “nuts-and-bolts” of lung physiology and pathophysiology.

The Art of Machine Learning -...

Craig Dames

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. It is a field that has grown significantly over the past few decades, revolutionizing industries such as healthcare, finance, and technology. By leveraging algorithms and statistical models, machine learning systems can identify patterns, make predictions, and continuously improve their performance.
The foundation of machine learning lies in data. Without data, machine learning models cannot function effectively. Data can come in various forms, including structured numerical data, unstructured text, images, and audio. The process of training a machine learning model involves feeding it large amounts of data, allowing it to recognize relationships and make informed predictions.
Machine learning is broadly categorized into three types: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning involves training a model on labeled data, where it learns to map inputs to outputs based on example pairs. This approach is commonly used in applications such as email spam detection and medical diagnosis. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, deals with data that lacks labels. The model identifies patterns and structures within the data without prior guidance, making it useful for tasks like customer segmentation and anomaly detection. Reinforcement learning is a more dynamic approach where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. This technique is widely used in robotics and game development.

Galactic Mysteries - How Dark...

Dirk Fallon

In the vast expanse of space, not everything we observe tells the full story. For centuries, astronomers believed that the stars, planets, gas clouds, and galaxies we could see were all there was to the universe. However, observations in the twentieth century began to suggest otherwise. The cosmos, as it turns out, is filled with something we cannot directly observe—something invisible yet undeniably present. This hidden substance came to be known as dark matter, and its discovery revolutionized our understanding of the universe.
The first real hints of dark matter came from studies of galaxies. When scientists examined how stars move within galaxies, they expected the outer stars to move more slowly than those near the center, based on the distribution of visible mass. However, what they found was shocking. Stars far from the center were moving at similar speeds as those near the core. This was only possible if there was a large amount of unseen mass exerting gravitational force throughout the galaxy. This discrepancy between the predicted and observed rotation speeds became one of the earliest and strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter.
At the same time, astronomers began noticing unusual behavior in galaxy clusters. These massive structures, made up of hundreds or even thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, seemed to have more mass than what could be accounted for by visible matter alone. The galaxies were moving too fast to be held together by the gravity of the stars and gas we could detect. Something else, something invisible, had to be holding them in place. Again, the idea of an unseen mass emerged, one that made up the majority of the clusters’ mass.
