Abstract:
Summary Objectives : We introduce “Mobile Nurse" (MN) - an emerging platform for the practice of ubiquitous medicine. Methods : By implementing in a dynamic setting of daily life the patient care traditionally provided by the clinical nurses on duty, MN aims at integral data collection and shortening the response time to the patient. MN is also capable of intelligent interaction with the patient and is able to learn from the patient's behavior and disease sign evaluation for improved personalized treatment. Results : In this paper, we outline the most essential concepts around the hardware, software and methodological designs of MN. We provide an example of the implementation, and elaborate on the possible future impact on medical practice and biomedical science research. Conclusions : The main innovation of MN, setting it apart from current tele-medicine systems, is the ability to integrate the patient's signs and symptoms on site, providing medical professionals with powerfultools to elucidate disease mechanisms, to make proper diagnoses and to prescribe treatment.

Abstract:
The searching for biologically active compounds produced by living organisms led to the discovery of a number of compounds with more or less complicated structure. One of the simplest molecules are monoterpenoid lactones and loliolide is the most common among them. Loliolide was found in animals (insects) and plants (flowers, shrubs, trees) both terrestrial and marine, such as algae and corals. Many years of research on plants used in traditional folk medicine of different countries have led to the conclusion that this compound has a variety of biological properties such as anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant ones. Moreover, plants containing loliolide are used in alternative medicine in treatment of diabetes and depression. It is extremely interesting that this lactone also affects the behavior of ants as well as the development of certain plants (allelopathic activity). However, sometimes there are side effects as in the case of structural analogues of loliolide contributing to extinction of tropical coral.

The ubiquitous medicine has the premisse to provide access to health services at any time, without restriction of location enhancing the mobility of doctors, nurses and other health professionals. These professionals need tools for information access, both at the site where the patient, either in other locations. The aim of this paper is to propose an infrastructure that integrates sensors and computing devices (mobile and fixed), considering the ubiquitous environment provided by a middleware and software architecture with context elements awareness, and also with the capacity acting on them. This architecture is called uMED, and their target applications will include monitoring vital signs of patients considering a typical work environment of staff working in medical emergencies. It is also being made to allow health professionals to remotely control (actuation) medical equipments. From the monitoring and/or actuation features, the intention is to enable an improvement in work routines of health professionals, helping to reduce the high percentage of nomadism and fragmentation of its activities. The uMED architecture is being designed with the perspective of being integrated with middleware EXEHDA. In order to evaluate the software architecture proposed for uMED, was developed a case study aimed at clinical follow-up of patients

A computação ubíqua quando na forma de sistemas ubíquos e utilizados no suporte e cuidado de Doenças Crônicas priorizam o monitoramento do paciente e a geração de diversos tipos de alerta, porém, o suporte à tomada de decisões por parte dos sistemas ubíquos existentes é ainda pouco utilizado em sistemas específicos para o gerenciamento e controle de Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis. Como o cuidado de doença crônica deve ser feito de forma contínua, torna-se importante para o paciente ter um conhecimento prévio sobre o andamento do seu tratamento e se as ações por ele feitas no dia a dia estão lhe ajudando com o tratamento ou não. Como mecanismo de predição, uma das principais técnicas utilizadas atualmente são as Redes Bayesianas. Sendo assim, esta dissertação propõe um modelo computacional ubíquo de prognóstico de fatores de risco de Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis, denominado ChronicPrediction. O modelo ChronicPrediction utiliza Redes Bayesianas criadas a partir do mapeamento de relações de causalidade existentes entre cada um dos fatores de risco da DCNT a qual se deseja observar. Essas relações são definidas a partir de opinião de especialistas ou geradas automaticamente através de dados históricos e com base em dados fornecidos pelos próprios pacientes sobre seus hábitos alimentares diários, rotina de exercícios físicos e a medição de suas taxas. São discutidas também características pertencentes a trabalhos relacionados, além de descrever o modelo em detalhes e apresentar os aspectos considerados no desenvolvimento e avaliação por meio de um protótipo desenvolvido. O processo de avaliação se apresenta na forma de experimentos descritos através de cenários, os quais possuem como objetivo avaliar as hipóteses relacionadas a cada um deles. O ponto inicial para a formulação de cada uma das hipóteses é o fato de que se tem uma ideia de uma causa e o efeito relacionado a ela. Cada um dos cenários visa descrever situações comuns que possam ocorrer durante o dia a dia de pacientes (causas e efeitos) com algum tipo de Doença Crônica Não Transmissível. Além disso, a diversidade entre os cenários torna-se importante para aperfeiçoar a abrangência da avaliação do modelo. Ao efetuar as avaliações conclui-se que o modelo ChronicPrediction amplia as funcionalidades do Modelo UDuctor e do assistente pessoal ChronicDuctor, passando a oferecer suporte a ao monitoramento de múltiplas DCNT simultaneamente, fornecendo feedbacks e recomendações ao paciente com o intuito de ajudá-lo a acompanhar seu tratamento de forma contínua e podendo readequá-lo de forma a promover seu bem-estar e aprimorando sua qualidade de vida.
The ubiquitous computing in the form os ubiquitous systems and used in the support and care of Chronic Diseases prioritize the patient monitoring and the generation of differents alert types, however, the support decision making by the existing ubiquitous systems is still little used on specific systems for the management and control of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases. As the care of chronic disease should be done continuosly, becomes important for the patient has a prior knowledge about the progress of your treatment and if the actions taken by him in his daily life are helping you with treatment or not. As a predictive mechanism one of the main techniques used nowadays are the Bayesian Networks. Thus, this thesis proposes an ubiquitous computing prognostic model of risk factors of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases, called ChronicPrediction. The ChronicPrediction model uses Bayesian Networks created from mapping of existing causal relationships between each of the risk factors of NCDs which you wish to observe. These reationships are defined from expert opinion or automatically generated by historical data and based on data provided by patients themselves about their dayli eating habits, exercise routine and the measuring of their rates. Are also discussed characteristics belonging to related work, addition to describing the model in detail and present the aspects considered in developing and evaluating through a prototype. The evaluation process is presented in the form of experiments described through scenarios, which have to evaluate hypotheses realted to each. The starting point for the formulation of each of the hypotheses is the fact that we have an idea of a cause and effect related to it. Each scenario aims to describe common situations that may occur during the daily lives of patients (causes and effects) with some kind of Chronic Non-Communicable Disease. Furthermore, the diversity between the scenarios is important to improve the coverage of the model evaluation. Making the evaluationsit was concluded that the ChronicPrediction model expands the functionality of UDuctor model and the ChronicDuctor personal assistant, offering support to the monitoring of multiple NCDs simultaneously, providing feedbacks and recommendations to the patients in order to help them to monitor their treatment continuously, to modify them in order to promote their well-being and improving their quality of life.

This work was aimed at the proposition of a mechanism for context awareness in ubiquitous computing. With technological advances we have smaller and smaller devices and greater computing power and communication which enhances the mobility of the User when carrying their equipment. In this sense, a ubiquitous environment requires the existence of different devices such as sensors, actuators and electronics in general that interact in different ways with users. The diversity of devices and information in a ubiquitous environment as it is, introduces different challenges for interoperability between the different parties involved. Therefore, when building and running applications ubiquitous context-aware, a number of features that should be provided, involving the acquisition of contextual information from the set of heterogeneous sources and distributed to the representation of the information and its processing . With a view to meet these demands of ubiquitous computing, is designed to EXEHDA-SS, to be responsible for processing the contextual information for tasks of manipulation and deduction from the context using ontologies for the representation and processing of contextual information using semantic support

Abstract:
Animals were integral to the ancient world. Quadrupeds, particularly the horse, were vital to the Roman world for the military, the circus, and the cursus publicus. Livestock, especially oxen and sheep, were deeply ingrained in this agrarian culture both as a work animal and as a food source. Due to the nature of their duties, these animals suffered injuries and illnesses. In order to combat these ailments, the Romans employed animal doctors known as mulomedici, veterinarii, or ἱππιατροί. Until recently, scholarship for the Roman veterinarian has focused on philology and medicine. The veterinarian, however, is a part of Roman society and thus requires study within context. The veterinary treatises – Hippiatrica, the works of Vegetius and Pelagonius, and the Mulomedicina Chironis – and archaeological evidence attest to the animal doctor as a profession and further indicate that the veterinarian was socially, economically, and agriculturally significant to the Roman world.

Abstract:
A growing number of factors, including costs, technological advancements, ageing populations, and medical errors, are leading industrialized countries to invest in research on alternative solutions to improve their health-care systems and increase patients’ quality of life. Personal health systems (PHS) examplify the use of information and communication technologies that enable a paradigm shift from the traditional hospital-centered healthcare delivery model toward a preventive and person-centered approach. PHS offer the means to monitor a patient’s health using wearable, portable or implantable systems that offer ubiquitous, unobtrusive biodata acquisition, allowing remote monitoring of treatment and access to the patient’s status. Electrical bioimpedance (EBI) technology is non-invasive, quick and relatively affordable technique that can be used for assessing and monitoring different health conditions, e.g., body composition assessments for nutrition. When combined with state-of-the-art advances in sensors and textiles, EBI technologies are fostering the implementation of wearable bioimpedance monitors that use functional garments for personalized healthcare applications. This research work is focused on the development of wearable EBI-based monitoring systems for ubiquitous health monitoring applications. The monitoring systems are built upon portable monitoring instrumentation and custom-made textile electrode garments. Portable EBI-based monitors have been developed using the latest material technology and advances in system-on-chip technology. For instance, a portable EBI spectrometer has been validated against a commercial spectrometer for total body composition assessment using functional textile electrode garments. The development of wearable EBI-based monitoring units using functional garments and dry textile electrodes for body composition assessment and respiratory monitoring has been shown to be a feasible approach. The availability of these measurement systems indicates progress toward the real implementation of personalized healthcare systems.

Chapter 6 explores strategies that will mitigate the most ubiquitous problem faced by pianists with small hands: dealing with large chords, broken chords, arpeggios, octaves, and other extended shapes that cannot be refingered or redistributed between the hands. The need for speed or power is a complicating factor. This is an area of concern because performance arts medicine practitioners have offered anecdotal evidence that playing with the hand extended for long periods of time can lead to injury. Strategies to maximize the reach and power of small-handed pianists are explored, including facilitating large reaches, dividing or rolling chords, releasing notes, using rotation for power, taking advantage of skeletal support, playing staccato chords and octaves, grouping notes into larger gestures, and omitting and revising notes.

Abstract:
Depression is a ubiquitous illness for which primary care is now on the front line, providing care to millions of patients. Identifying these patients and providing adequate care is beyond the capabilities of our current medical approach. New algorithms from research and unique techniques based on new technologies now exist for optimizing our current Electronic Health Records (EHR) into a powerful support tool for psychiatric patient care. This chapter examines the theories, biopsychosocial techniques, ongoing research, technologies, and protocols from other areas of Medicine that have been successful in capturing and evaluating patient status and guiding medical care. These concepts are modeled into how primary care colleagues can receive automated guidance and psychiatry can be referred those cases which require specialist intervention. A multimodality paradigm for an enhanced EHR which minimizes primary care physician efforts and maximizes identification, escalating management, and tracking of psychiatric patient care is proposed.

Abstract:
This book presents a panoramic inquiry into China’s early modern cultural transformation through the lens of pharmacy. In the history of science and civilization in China, pharmacy—as a commercial enterprise and as a branch of classical medicine—resists easy characterization. While China’s long tradition of documenting the natural world through state-commissioned pharmacopeias, known as bencao, dwindled after the sixteenth century, the ubiquitous presence of Chinese pharmacy shops around the world today testifies to the vitality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Rejecting narratives of intellectual stagnation or an unchanging folk culture, the book argues that pharmacy’s history in early modern China can best be understood as a dynamic interplay between elite and popular culture. Beginning with decentralizing trends in book culture and fiscal policy in the sixteenth century, the book reveals pharmacy’s central role in late Ming public discourse. Fueled by factional politics in the early 1600s, amateur investigation into pharmacology reached peak popularity among the literati on the eve of the Qing conquest in the mid-seventeenth century. The eighteenth century witnessed a systematic reclassification of knowledge, as the Qing court turned away from pharmacopeia in favor of a demedicalized natural history. Throughout this time, growth in long-distance trade enabled the rise of urban pharmacy shops, generating new knowledge about the natural world.

Full text
Abstract:
Perioperative echocardiography is one of the fastest growing areas of echocardiography. Transthoracic imaging is increasingly being used in postoperative patients, in critical care settings, and in emergency medicine. Intraoperative imaging remains the exclusive domain of transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) where cardiac surgery is the primary field of application. However, the use of intraoperative TOE is gradually expanding towards non-cardiac surgery. The indications for perioperative echo have recently been re-evaluated, resulting in recognition of the ubiquitous benefit in patients undergoing surgery. Although TOE is safe, there may be a greater risk of traumatic damage to the soft tissues in anaesthetized patients who cannot complain of pain nor resist during probe insertion. Perioperative imaging in cardiac surgery should be used to confirm and refine the preoperative diagnosis, detect new or unsuspected pathology, adjust the anaesthetic and surgical plan, and assess the results of surgical intervention. Using imaging to optimize myocardial function is a constantly developing technique to ensure that patients leave the operating room in the best possible condition.

Full text
Abstract:
The Error of Truth recounts the astonishing and unexpected tale of how quantitative thinking was invented and rose to primacy in our lives in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, bringing us to an entirely new perspective on what we know about the world and how we know it—even on what we each think about ourselves. Quantitative thinking is our inclination to view natural and everyday phenomena through a lens of measurable events, with forecasts, odds, predictions, and likelihood playing a dominant part. This worldview, or Weltanschauung, is unlike anything humankind had before, and it came about because of a momentous human achievement: namely, we had learned how to measure uncertainty. Probability as a science had been invented. Through probability theory, we now had correlations, reliable predictions, regressions, the bell-shaped curve for studying social phenomena, and the psychometrics of educational testing. Significantly, these developments in mathematics happened during a relatively short period in world history: roughly, the 130-year period from 1790 to 1920, from about the close of the Napoleonic era, through the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolutions, to the end of World War I. Quantification is now everywhere in our daily lives, such as in the ubiquitous microchip in smartphones, cars, and appliances, in the Bayesian logic of artificial intelligence, and in applications in business, engineering, medicine, economics, and elsewhere. Probability is the foundation of our quantitative thinking. Here we see its story: when, why, and how it came to be and changed us forever.

Abstract:
In recent years, advances in information and communication technology and especially the Internet have acted as catalysts for significant developments in the sector of health care, having a strong impact in supporting medical diagnosis, enabling efficient and effective patient and healthcare management and reforming medical education. There is currently an international trend to involve computers and the Internet heavily in medical curricula, in continuing life-long medical learning, as well as in general health education of the public. However, effective technology-supported interventions are usually created when there is a successful alignment of the specific requirements with the potential end use of technology. And it is just such a juncture we are currently facing with the emergent paradigm of Web 2.0. This chapter elaborates on the potential of Web 2.0 for active and, potentially, effective learning in medicine and in health and reviews current practices and trends in the field. The discussion focuses on research directions and emerging applications that fully exploit the potential of Web. 2.0 for advancing medical education. Finally, the envisaged merit of merging with Web 3.0 technologies is also discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter presents an overview of an integrated system for eMedicine that the authors propose and implement in the Republic of Macedonia. The system contains advanced medical information systems, various telemedicine services supported by modern telecommunication technologies, and decision support modules. The authors describe their telemedicine services that use wireless broadband technologies (WiMAX, 3G, Wi-Fi). A significant part of the chapter presents a web based medical expert system that performs self training using a heuristic rule induction algorithm. The data inserted by medical personnel while using the e-medicine system is subsequently used for additional learning. The system is trained using a hybrid heuristic algorithm for induction of classification rules that we developed. The SA Tabu Miner algorithm (Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search based Data Miner) is inspired by both research on heuristic optimization algorithms and rule induction data mining concepts and principles.

Abstract:
In anatomic pathology, digital pathology integrates information management systems to manage both digital images and text-based information. Digital pathology allows information sharing for diagnosis, biomedical research and education. Virtual microscopy resulting in digital slides is an outreaching technology in anatomic pathology. Limiting factors in the expansion of virtual microscopy are formidable storage dimension, scanning speed, quality of image and cultural change. Anatomic pathology data and images should be an important part of the patient electronic health records as well as of clinical datawarehouses, epidemiological or biomedical research databases, and platforms dedicated to translational medicine. Integrating anatomic pathology to the “healthcare enterprise” can only be achieved using existing and emerging medical informatics standards like Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM®1), Health Level Seven (HL7®), and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT®), following the recommendations of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE®).
