Veena A, Gowrishankar S

Beschreibung

This reference demonstrates the development of a context aware decision-making health informatics system with the objective to automate the analysis of human centric wellness and assist medical decision-making in healthcare.
 
 
 
The book introduces readers to the basics of a clinical decision support system. This is followed by chapters that explain how to analyze healthcare data for anomaly detection and clinical correlations. The next two sections cover machine learning techniques for object detection and a case study for hemorrhage detection. These sections aim to expand the understanding of simple and advanced neural networks in health informatics. The authors also explore how machine learning model choices based on context can assist medical professionals in different scenarios.

This Book Will Save Your Life -...

Dr. Russell Surasky

Renowned neurologist Dr. Russell Surasky reveals a precise and breakthrough medical treatment for opioid addiction.
The book you’re holding in your hands contains the answers that can save your life, the life of a loved one, or—if you’re a doctor—the life of your patient.
In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, another person will have died from opioid addiction. The opioid epidemic is taking the lives of nearly two hundred Americans each day. Everyone is now just one degree of separation from the deadly scourge of opioid addiction—either you are suffering or someone close to you is. Fentanyl, the deadliest of all opioids, has now flooded into every town in America. Recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience have proven that addiction is a neurological brain disease, not a psychological problem or a moral failure. It is a treatable, chronic medical illness that involves complex interactions between genetics, exposure to addictive substances, and ultimately, the hijacking of specific brain circuitry. With this new information, scientists have created breakthrough medical treatments that can help heal the brain from addiction—and finally unchain those suffering from this deadly affliction.
In This Book Will Save Your Life, Dr. Russell Surasky clearly explains these precise new life-saving treatments and how you or your loved one can access them immediately. Active opioid addiction is a medical emergency that—without treatment—is virtually always fatal. The information in this book could save your life and the lives of those you love, forever.
“This is a pointed and urgent challenge not just for those suffering addiction, but for all of us who care about the dignity of the human person and sacredness of human life. Sure, there’s a lot of bad news about addiction, but there’s a lot of good news as well. My friend Dr. Russell Surasky gives us hope for a culture of recovery.”—Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York

Go Gently - Actionable Steps to...

Bonnie Wright

An inspiring and approachable tip-filled guide to changing your habits, living more sustainably, and taking action, by Greenpeace ambassador Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies) 
Go Gently is a guide for sustainability at home that offers simple, tangible steps toward reducing our environmental impact by looking at what we consume and the waste we create, as well as how to take action for environmental change. The title reflects Bonnie Wright’s belief that the best way to change our planet and ourselves is through a gentle approach, rather than a judgmental one. This is a book of do’s rather than don’ts. It’s also an invitation to Wright’s followers to join her on this journey to sustainability. 
Going through every room in her home, Wright helps us assess which products are sustainable, and alternatives for those that are not. She shares recipes to avoid waste, homemade self-care products to avoid packaging, small space-friendly gardening ideas, and a template for creating your own compost system. Finally, to sustain yourself, there are exercises and meditation prompts to keep you energized, plus info on how to get involved in community and organizations. 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Basics...

Dean Stratton

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Written for curious beginners, students, clinicians-in-training, and informed patients, this guide explains the science and day-to-day realities of multiple sclerosis in clear, compassionate language. You’ll learn how an immune-mediated attack on myelin disrupts brain and spinal cord signaling; how typical presentations such as optic neuritis, sensory change, imbalance, and weakness are evaluated; and how diagnosis uses clinical history plus MRI evidence of dissemination in time and space, sometimes supported by cerebrospinal-fluid oligoclonal bands and the McDonald criteria. Understand current disease-modifying therapies (injectable, oral, and monoclonal), what they can and cannot do, and how acute relapses are treated (usually high-dose corticosteroids; plasma exchange when steroid-refractory). Equally, this book emphasizes rehabilitation, fatigue and mood management, heat sensitivity, cognition, exercise, nutrition, pregnancy planning, and shared decision-making. A vivid opening vignette follows “Aisha,” a young designer with sudden blurred vision, through referral, imaging, treatment choices, and building a relapse action plan—turning complex neurology into practical steps.
✓ Plain-English primers with clinician-level sidebars, flowcharts, and a jargon-free glossary.
✓ Case vignettes and “ask your neurologist” checklists mapped to every stage of care.
✓ MRI & lab walkthroughs: lesion patterns, dissemination rules, red flags, and pitfalls.
✓ Treatment landscape decoded: DMT classes, safety monitoring, vaccination timing.
✓ Daily-living playbook: fatigue pacing, mobility, cognition, work, travel, and heat.
✓ Practical tools: symptom tracker, flare diary, medication matrix, goal-setting sheets.

Multiverse The: Time and...

Martin K. Ettington

The subjects of time and dimensional travel really fascinate me. I went to Engineering School and took advanced courses in physics and mathematics so I have a pretty good understanding of science’s view of our Universe. 
I’ve also been fortunate to have learned and practiced techniques to become more spiritually and psychically developed. One of the things this led to were my numerous experiences with premonitions and prophecy which I’ve written about. 
My research also led me to write several books about stories of real time travel and dimensional shifting experiences. 
This book is a series and questions and answers to review and discuss what I’ve learned about time and dimensions which I hope will shed some light on the mysteries of these strange phenomena. 
The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought possible and our speculation is part of our developing an understanding of our universe.
