AI and Healthcare: Opportunities and Challenges| Book Publisher International

 In the dynamic world of healthcare, a revolutionary transformation is underway, heralded by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This book delves deep into the essence of AI, beginning with a comprehensive introduction that demystifies what AI truly is, clarifies the distinction between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, and provides a handy AI Keyword Glossary for easy understanding. As we journey through the history of AI, we encounter the AI boom, marking a pivotal shift in how technology influences our lives.

 

Venturing into the Marvelous World of AI, we explore its capabilities in learning, vision, and language understanding, alongside a deep dive into AI systems, architecture, and the intricacies of designing an AI product. The narrative then transitions into AI's profound influence on various industries, with a special focus on healthcare. Through an overview of global healthcare systems, the book lays the groundwork for understanding the fundamental elements and challenges within healthcare, setting the stage for AI's transformative potential.

 

As we navigate the future of healthcare, the role of AI technology becomes unmistakably central, acting as a super detective in diagnostics, enhancing patient engagement, and accelerating drug discovery among its numerous applications. The book further explores the intricate relationship between AI and healthcare data, shedding light on machine learning models, their applications, advantages, and limitations within the healthcare context.

 

Diving into the building blocks of healthcare data security, we address the sensitivity of healthcare data, regulatory challenges, and the implementation of robust security measures. Real-world applications exemplify AI's practicality, while emerging technologies such as Blockchain and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) hint at the future landscape.

 

A pivotal chapter on AI and healthcare ethics, equity, and regulation underscores the importance of ethical AI, patient consent, privacy, and the ongoing battle against AI bias. Through case studies and examples, including IBM Watson for Oncology and Google DeepMind's partnership with the NHS, the narrative illustrates both triumphs and trials in the AI healthcare domain.

 

The journey continues with a glimpse into the future, emphasizing the development of an AI-ready healthcare workforce, the role of government and policy in shaping AI in healthcare, and a call to action for stakeholders. The book concludes with reflections on the future prospects of AI in healthcare, painting a picture of a landscape where AI and human expertise converge to create a more efficient, equitable, and innovative healthcare system.

 

Through this exploration, "The Rise of Generative AI: From DeepFakes to Creative Arts" offers readers a comprehensive guide to understanding and navigating the complex yet promising world of AI in healthcare. It serves as a beacon for professionals, policymakers, and enthusiasts alike, illuminating the path towards a future where technology and healthcare unite to enhance the human experience.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Study on Processing Method Influences the Effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Consumption on Blood Lipid Profile in Rats | Chapter 8 | Current Research and Development in Chemistry Vol.1

Cassava is consumed in many tropical countries and is fast becoming the major raw material of many diets, especially in the bakery, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. In a study to determine the effects of various formulations of Cassava feeds on blood lipid profile in rats. Forty adult Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 150 g were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were acclimatized for one week; fed with different formulations of Cassava feeds adlibitum, after which the rats were allotted into groups. Group 1 was fed on Garri; group 2 on Cassava flour; group 3 on Tapioca, and the control group (group 4) on normal chow. After 4 weeks, each animal was anaesthetized by exposure to chloroform vapour and blood samples collected by cardiac puncture. Group 1 diet (Garri) significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration (p<0.05) compared with the control group. In Group 2 (Cassava flour), t...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
