Telemedicine in the 21st Century (Hardcover)

by Lucia Martinez (Editor), Carla Gomez (Editor)

Editorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionTelemedicine is a rapidly developing application of clinical medicine where medical information is transferred via telephone, the Internet or other networks for the purpose of consulting, and sometimes remote medical procedures or examinations. Telemedicine may be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the telephone, or as complex as using satellite technology and video-conferencing equipment to conduct a real-time consultation between medical specialists in two different countries. Telemedicine generally refers to the use of communications and information technologies for the delivery of clinical care. This book presents the latest research in this field from around the globe.

History of Telemedicine

History of Telemedicine: Evolution, Context, and Transformation
Editorial ReviewsReviewAs someone who thought he knew most of what had gone before, and how the field had matured, I found very early into this scholarly, incredibly well researched, and comprehensive manuscript how much more I needed to learn. This will now become my reference source and there is little doubt that it will be the Encyclopedia of Telemedicine. The authors create the feeling in the reader that telemedicine is not simply an enabling technology, but more of an umbilical cord of health information exchange. --Jay Sanders, MD, Global Telemedicine Group

Few researchers have been as involved in the modern era of telemedicine as Bashshur and Shannon. They have produced a work that is comprehensive, carefully researched, intellectually rigorous, and very well written. The authors have managed to bring this history to life, weaving anecdotes and personal accounts of telemedicine s development and evolution into the research literature. For the reader who wishes to understand how telemedicine got to where it is today, this book is essential. --Jim Grigsby, PhD, University of Colorado Denver

Telemedicine has finally received the interesting and balanced historical recognition it deserves. Drs. Bashshur and Shannon have produced an excellent, exhaustive history of this method of delivering health care, from smoke signals in ancient Greece to today's instant computer communications, including stereo vision and haptics. The current state of the art of telemedicine is filled with impersonal high-tech devices and methods, but the authors never lose sight of the field's primary goal: to improve patient care and benefit the public health. --Donald A.B. Lindberg, MD, Director, National Library of Medicine

Product DescriptionThe History of Telemedicine provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the evolution of telemedicine from ancient Greece to the present time. It places the development of this field in the context of the never ending quest for providing equitable access to health care and re-casting the medical care landscape, while trying to assure quality and contain cost. The book describes the origin of modern telemedicine in experiments such as those by Willem Einthoven s 1905 long distance transfer of electrocardiograms through the pioneering era of teleradiology and telepsychiatry of the 1950s, its coming of age in the 1970s, its maturation in the 1990s, and finally the recent transformation and adoption by the mainstream. The authors delve into the rich history of telemedicine and tell the story from its genesis to the present time, reporting its continuity and evolution, its various adaptations, and the context that sustained interest and development in this modality of care and continues to guide its transformation into the future. The authors central theme throughout the book is telemedicine s potential role in improving human health.

Genetic Engineering

An Introduction to Genetic engineering,3rd Ed

This should help the reader cope with more advanced information about the subject, as a sound grasp of the basic principles is an important part of any introduction to genetic engineering. I have again been gratified by the many positive comments about the second edition, and I hope that this new edition continues to serve a useful purpose as part of the introductory literature on this fascinating subject. As I found when preparing the second edition of this text, advances in genetics continue to be made at an ever increasing rate, which presents something of a dilemma when writing an introductory text on the subject. In the years since the second edition was published, many new applications of gene manipulation technology have been developed, covering an increasingly diverse range of disciplines and applications. The temptation in preparing this third edition, as was the case for its predecessor, was to concentrate on the applications and ignore the fundamental principles of the technology.

Genetic Algorithms and Evolution

Genetic Algorithms and Evolution
Strategy in Engineering and Computer Science

This second edition is more focused towards real world applications than the first which was more theoretical in nature. It may even be considered a natural evolution of "Genetic Algorithms in Engineering and Computer Science" which aims to show how Evolutionary Computing is now ready for industrial applications. The book opens with an interesting chapter on how to model and simulate evolutionary processes computational and why this is valuable. Then four chapters follow dealing with theoretical aspects of evolutionary computing. Adaptive niching, representation issues, Immunized Artificial Systems are some of the theoretical aspects here addressed. The second chapter proposes a novel scheme of Algorithms andEvolutionary Strategies which include the design of 100% functional arithmetic circuits, cam shape optimization, the design of multilayer optical coatings, and the multi objective optimization of aerodynamic airfoils for the minimization of the electromagnetic back scattering.

Genetics 101

This is the work of the population geneticist. Population geneticists are interested in gene flow, immigration and emigration, the effects of disruptions in populations and how these events influence the frequency of a trait in a given group of individuals. At the broadest level, evolutionary geneticists and genomicists examine how the sum of the genes in a species, also called the genome, changes over long periods of time. The past decade has seen a tremendous focus on this level of genetics as new technologies and computer applications have allowed the generation and study of large databases of genetic information. Genetics is the study of inheritance. It is a broad science that examines the molecular basis of inheritance at the cellular level, the transmission of traits from generation to generation, and the movement of genes within and between populations. As a science, genetics is both very young and very old. It has only been in the past 50 years that we have discovered the structure of the molecule that carries our genetic information from generation to generation. That molecule is of course deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Yet despite the fact that we have only been studying DNA for a short period of time, the study of genetics now permeates all aspects of the scientific world and our lives.
