ISBN : 0 - 8493 - 0461 - X
PDF | 3189 pages | English

As we enter the new millennium, the prospects for the field of Biomedical Engineering are bright.
Individuals interested in pursuing careers in this field continue to increase and the fruits of medical innovation continue to yield both monetary rewards and patient well being. These trends are reflected in this second edition of the Biomedical Engineering Handbook.
When compared to the first edition published in 1995, this new two-volume set includes new sections on “Transport Phenomena and Biomimetic Systems” and “Ethical Issues Associated with Medical Technology”. In addition, over 60% of the chapters has been completely revised, incorporating the latest developments in the field. therefore, this second edition is truly an updated version of the “state-of-the-field of biomedical engineering”. As such, it can serve as an excellent reference for individuals interested not only in a review of fundamental physiology, but also in quickly being brought up to speed in certain areas of biomedical engineering research. It can serve as an excellent textbook for students in areas where traditional textbooks have not
yet been developed, and serve as an excellent review of the major areas of activity in each biomedical engineering subdiscipline, such as biomechanics biomaterials, clinical engineering, artificial intelligence, etc., and finally it can serve as the “bible” for practicing biomedical engineering professionals by covering such topics as a “Historical Perspective of Medical Technology, the Role of Professional Societies and the Ethical Issues Associated with Medical Technology”.
Biomedical Engineering is no longer an emerging discipline; it has become an important vital interdisciplinary field. Biomedical engineers are involved in many medical ventures. They are involved in the design, development and utilization of materials, devices (such as pacemakers, lithotripsy, etc.) and techniques (such as signal processing, artificial intelligence, etc.) for clinical research and use; and serve as members of the health care delivery team (clinical engineering, medical informatics, rehabilitation engineering, etc.) seeking new solutions for difficult heath care problems confronting our society. To meet the needs of this diverse body of biomedical engineers, this handbook provides a central core of knowledge in those fields encompassed by the discipline of biomedical engineering as we enter the 21st century. Before presenting this detailed information, however, it is important to provide a sense of the evolution of the modern health care system and identify the diverse activities biomedical engineers perform to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Advances in Radiation Oncology in Lung Cancer

Title : Advances in Radiation Oncology in Lung Cancer
Author : B. Jeremic
Publisher: Springer
ISBN-10: 3 - 540 - 00522 - 6
PDF | 539 pages | English

Although decades of laboratory and clinical research have led to incremental improvement in treatment outcome, lung cancer remains one of the most deadly diseases. This volume is unique in being devoted solely to the radiation oncology of lung cancer, and will be of great value to all who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Both non-small cell and small cell lung cancer are considered in detail. Current state-of-the-art treatment strategies and novel approaches that promise further improvements in outcome are explained and evaluated, with the aid of high-quality illustrations. Treatment-related toxicity is discussed, and further individual chapters focus on topics such as quality of life studies, prognostic factors and pitfalls in the design and analysis of clinical trials.
If you look at the map of the world and check the incidence rates of cancer, you will find lung cancer as one of the major health problems worldwide. This is irrespective of sex and age, health care systems and current media reports. It is simply a fact that we sometimes forget, but it always comes again as a reminder with every new patient worldwide. This burden is present for decades and although there seems to be stagnation in males, plateau is not reached in females yet. Even then, we would still have to deal with thousands of patients suffering from the deadly disease. And we deal with it with radiation therapy, a treatment modality being now older than one-hundred years. During that period we have learnt how to fractionate the dose and observe the effects both on tumors and normal tissues. We have also learnt how to combine radiation therapy with other treatment modalities. With the time, we became increasingly capable of documenting dose distribution and to build on computerised-driven technologies to image, verify and record. We also became capable of concentrating on progressively smaller and smaller constituents; from the whole body to organs and tissues and from them to cells and molecules. We use radiation biology and molecular oncology to provide necessary framework for the science of radiation oncology in lung cancer.
And this book is about it; what had been done and what is going on. But much more than that, it is a book of what we have learnt from the past and how successfully we should incorporate it in our future endeavours, all having the same aim, better radiation oncology of lung cancer patients.
