?Emerging Technologies for Healthcare? beginnt mit einer IoT-basierten Lösung für die Automatisierung im Gesundheitssektor, wodurch Verfahren auf Grundlage von fortschrittlichen Deep-Learning-Techniken ermöglicht werden. Praktische Lösungen, die auf verschiedenen Ansätzen des maschinellen Lernens beruhen, werden vorgestellt und auf die Analyse und Vorhersage von Krankheiten angewandt. Ein Beispiel ist die Nutzung einer dreidimensionalen Matrix für die Behandlung chronischer Nierenerkrankungen, die Diagnose und Prognose des erworbenen demyelinisierenden Syndroms und von Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen sowie die Erkennung von Lungenentzündungen. Außerdem werden verschiedene geeignete Ansätze vorgestellt, wie die Gesundheitssysteme mit COVID-19-Fällen umgehen können. Daneben wird ein detaillierter Erkennungsmechanismus dargelegt, mit dessen Hilfe Lösungen entwickelt werden können, um von der Handschrift auf die Persönlichkeit zu schließen, und es werden neuartige Ansätze für die Stimmungsanalyse aufgezeigt, die mit ausreichenden Daten und verschiedenen Betrachtungsweisen untermauert sind. Dieses Buch enthält nicht nur theoretische Ansätze und Algorithmen, sondern zeigt auch auf, welche Schritte bei der Problemanalyse mithilfe von Daten, Prozessen, Berichten und Optimierungstechniken durchlaufen werden. Es ist ein umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für die Lösung verschiedener Probleme anhand von Algorithmen für das maschinelle Lernen.

A rare disease is any disease or condition that affects a small percentage of the population. Many rare conditions are life-threatening or chronically debilitating, and unfortunately do not have appropriate treatments, rendering them incurable. In recent years, there has been substantial development in the area of rare disease research and its clinical applications, for instance, rare disease biology and genomics, epidemiology and preventions, early detection and screening, and diagnosis and treatment. In this context, this book consolidates the recent advances in rare disease biology and therapeutics, covering a wide spectrum of interrelated topics, and disseminates this essential knowledge in a comprehensible way to a greater scientific and clinical audience as well as patients, caregivers, and drug and device manufacturers, especially to support rare disease product development. Chapters cover such diseases as Felty's syndrome, Löfgren's syndrome, mesothelioma, epidermolysis bullosa, and more. This book is a valuable resource not only for medical and allied health students but also for researchers, clinical and nurse geneticists, genetic counselors, and physician assistants.

Governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are thinking about what happens after the COVID-19 pandemic. Can we hope to not only ward off another COVID-like disaster but also eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu? Bill Gates, one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists, believes the answer is yes. The author of the #1 New York Times best seller How to Avoid a Climate Disaster lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another catastrophe like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world’s foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, Gates first helps us understand the science of infectious diseases. Then he shows us how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, how we can prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy. Here is a clarion call—strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance.

This publication reviews the advances in frontier technologies including automation, robotics, renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, biotechnologies and artificial intelligence and analyzes their economic, social and environmental impact. These technologies present immense potentials for the 2030 Agenda, fostering growth, prosperity and environmental sustainability. They also pose significant risks of unemployment, underemployment and rising income and wealth inequality and raise new ethical and moral concerns. The Survey identifies policy measures at national levels with the capacity to both maximize the potential of these technologies and mitigate their risks, thereby striking a balance among economic efficiency, equity and ethical considerations

The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.
