Abstract:
Background A dramatic increase in the use of complementary and alternative medicines has been observed. The use of such remedies in the presurgical population has implications for the anesthesiologist because of the potential for drug interactions, side effects, and medical liability. This study was undertaken to quantify the use of herbal remedies and vitamins in the presurgical population of a large tertiary care center. Methods A one-page questionnaire was distributed to all patients presenting for evaluation in the preoperative clinic over an 11-week period. Patients answered questions reg

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are very common in the aging population, of which Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are the two most common. Since the etiology of the neuronal death in these diseases remains unclear, currently no curative therapy is available. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used to treat certain diseases, which based on their symptoms we now know that they are included PD and AD, for thousands of years. However, our pervious systematic review reports that the quality of current TCM clinical trials related to this area had limited int

Abstract:
The development and advancement of prostate cancer is supported by a plethora of genetic and proteomic abnormalities, including events of post-translational modifications. The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) enzyme regulates epigenetic events of histone modifications and protein post-translational modifications within protein signaling pathways. PRMT5 functions by catalyzing the symmetric dimethylation of terminal arginine residues on target protein substrates. Under abnormal conditions of overexpression and upregulation, PRMT5 methyltransferase activity constitutively drives the

Abstract:
Clinical trials are the bedrock of evidence-based medicine. Introduced in the mid 20th century, they heralded a move away from opinion and anecdote to a more scientific evaluation of new treatments. Indeed, it could be argued that it is the clinical trial and the application of scientific method to determine which treatments work that distinguishes ‘medicine’ from ‘alternative medicine’. The aim of this short section is to outline the way in which clinical trials are likely to evolve over the next few years....

Abstract:
The main purpose of this work is to represent an alternative effective model for measuring the quality of healthcare (SERVQUAL) considering the geographical location of the under examination healthcare sectors. Based on that consideration, a new modeling is taking place introducing a spatial interaction between neighboring regions (spatial-SERVQUAL model). New directions are analyzed implementing specific questionnaires taking advantage of the spatial information given by the evaluation of the model. Moreover the role of spatial information in the health sector in relation to, for example, local health improvement performance management, is analyzed to support needs assessment and resource targeting as one of the principal action points in healthcare policies. Finally, the benefits of the GIS systems are illustrated, combined with the spatial assumptions, introducing a real-time health and disease monitoring tool to identify significant health trends in real-time data streams and geographic information systems.

Abstract:
This chapter explores, discusses, analyzes, and presents some recommendations for new, innovative alternative healthcare models to the traditional insurance and healthcare models that currently exist. These include a revised and enhanced hybrid model of healthcare; healthcare cost-sharing faith-based model; healthcare cost-reduction corporate partnership model (for example, Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase partnership); direct primary care model; and wellness program model including subscription type payment services, concierge medicine services, networks of primary care physicians providing patient retention, personalized medicine, and preventive care (MD VIP for example). Significant outcomes such as lowering healthcare costs, enhancing the quality and delivery of healthcare services, improving patient satisfaction, and promoting overall sustainability are addressed, including their implications for various stakeholders.
