This book explores the advancements and future challenges in biomedical application developments using breakthrough technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Signal Processing. It will also contribute to biosensors and secure systems,and related research. Applied Artificial Intelligence: A Biomedical Perspective begins by detailing recent trends and challenges of applied artificial intelligence in biomedical systems. Part I of the book presents the technological background of the book in terms of applied artificial intelligence in the biomedical domain. Part II demonstrates the recent advancements in automated medical image analysis that have opened ample research opportunities in the applications of deep learning to different diseases. Part III focuses on the use of cyberphysical systems that facilitates computing anywhere by using medical IoT and biosensors and the numerous applications of this technology in the healthcare domain. Part IV describes the different signal processing applications in the healthcare domain. It also includes the prediction of some human diseases based on the inputs in signal format. Part V highlights the scope and applications of biosensors and security aspects of biomedical images. The book will be beneficial to the researchers, industry persons, faculty, and students working in biomedical applications of computer science and electronics engineering. It will also be a useful resource for teaching courses like AI/ML, medical IoT, signal processing, biomedical engineering, and medical image analysis.

This colposcopy manual was developed in the context of the cervical cancer screening research studies of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the related technical support provided to national programs. It is thus a highly comprehensive manual, both for the training of new colposcopists and for the continuing education and reorientation of those who are more experienced. This manual offers a valuable learning resource, incorporating recent developments in the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), as well as in colposcopy and cervical pathology. Expertise in performing satisfactory, safe, and accurate colposcopic examinations requires high competence in the technical, interpretive, and cognitive aspects, and the capability to develop pragmatic and effective management plans and treatment. This comprehensive and concise manual covers all these aspects and serves as a useful handbook for acquiring the necessary skills for the visual recognition and interpretation of colposcopic findings and for developing the personal and professional attributes required for competence in colposcopy.
