Survival and Event History Analysis: A Process Point of View (Statistics for Biology and Health)

The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between standard textbook models and a range of models where the dynamic structure of the data manifests itself fully. The common denominator of such models is stochastic processes. The authors show how counting processes, martingales, and stochastic integrals fit very nicely with censored data. Beginning with standard analyses such as Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression, the presentation progresses to the additive hazard model and recurrent event data. Stochastic processes are also used as natural models for individual frailty; they allow sensible interpretations of a number of surprising artifacts seen in population data. The stochastic process framework is naturally connected to causality. The authors show how dynamic path analyses can incorporate many modern causality ideas in a framework that takes the time aspect seriously. To make the material accessible to the reader, a large number of practical examples, mainly from medicine, are developed in detail. Stochastic processes are introduced in an intuitive and non-technical manner. The book is aimed at investigators who use event history methods and want a better understanding of the statistical concepts. It is suitable as a textbook for graduate courses in statistics and biostatistics.

Welcome to Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys but Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life

Does drinking really kill brain cells? Does listening to Mozart make your baby smarter? For all the mileage we've gotten from our own brains, most of us have essentially no idea how they work. We're easily susceptible to myths (like the "fact" that we use only 10% of our brains) and misconceptions (like the ones perpetrated by most Hollywood movies), probably because we've never known where to turn for the truth.But neurologists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang are glad to help. In this funny, accessible book, we get a guided tour of our own minds, what they're made of, how they work, and how they can go wrong. Along the way, we get a host of diagrams, quizzes, and "cocktail party tips" that shed light on the questions we nag each other about. (Can a head injury make you forget your own name? Are dolphins smarter than chimpanzees?)Fun and surprisingly engrossing, Welcome to Your Brain shows you how your brain works, and how you can make it work better.

Information Infrastructures within European Health Care: Working with the Installed Base (Health Informatics)

This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license.The book aims to be a resource for those interested in planning and implementing large-scale information infrastructures for novel electronic services in health care. The focus of this book is on the pivotal role of the installed base (i.e. the already existing elements of an infrastructure) for ensuing infrastructural development. The book presents rich empirical cases on the design, development and implementation of core infrastructural components (e-prescription and public patient-oriented web platforms) in different national settings across Europe. Therefore, this is a book in which theoretical insights and practical experiences are tightly connected. Contributions have been sourced from a network of academics that have been working on the topic for years, and who have previously collaborated and shared a common understanding of the challenges entailed in expanding information infrastructures within healthcare. The book aims to become a reference for those seeking theoretical and empirical insights for conceptualizing and steering the evolution of information infrastructures in healthcare.The two types of systems (e-prescription and public patient-oriented web platforms) have been selected because they are widespread across Europe, because they invite comparisons, and because they are exemplary of two different types of aims. E-prescription initiatives are usually seen as opportunities to improve healthcare delivery by systematic and not dramatic change. Public patient-oriented web platforms are seen as opportunities to pursue wider and more radical innovation. This book targets researchers, practitioners and students who would benefit from a book providing a comprehensive view to contemporary approaches for the design and deployment of large-scale, inter-organizational systems within healthcare.

Controversies in Healthcare Innovation: Service, Technology and Organization

This book examines healthcare innovation processes, shedding light on the controversies endemic to innovation, which make such processes notoriously challenging.

Students and academics studying innovation, organization, and health management and economics will find this book a valuable read as it provides empirical case studies on innovation processes in practice. Controversies in Healthcare Innovation will also appeal to practitioners of health care management, innovation project managers and policy-makers in the health care sector.

Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients

Treatment tolerance is a challenge for most cancer patients, and it is therefore essential that healthcare professionals (HCPs) are quick to recognize adverse events and implement management strategies to address them. Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients provides comprehensive guidance on managing nausea and vomiting, which are common and often severe adverse events experienced by patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The book refers to the latest American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), and Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) guidelines and will be a useful resource for oncologists, oncology fellows, general physicians, and other HCPs wishing to learn more about the effective management of chemotherapy-and radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.

Innovative Antimetabolites in Solid Tumours (ESO Monographs)

The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for information, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching of oncology requires a rigorously multidisciplinary approach which is difficult for the Universities to put into practice since their system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task for medical faculties to adapt their curricula flexibly. With its residential courses for organ pathologies and the seminars on new techniques (laser, monoclonal antibodies, imaging techniques etc.) or on the principal therapeutic controversies (conservative or mutilating surgery, primary or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone or integrated), it is the ambition of the European School of Oncology to fill a cultural and scientific gap and, thereby, create a bridge between the University and Industry and between these two and daily medical practice. One of the more recent initiatives of ESO has been the institution of permanent study groups, also called task forces, where a limited number of leading experts are invited to meet once a year with the aim of defining the state of the art and possibly reaching a consensus on future developments in specific fields of oncology.

Orale kinesiologie: Temporomandibulaire disfuncties, bruxisme, gebitsattritie en slaapapneu

Reeds van oudsher speelt de tandarts een belangrijke rol bij de preventie en de bestrijding van de negatieve gevolgen van chemische en bacteriologische bedreigingen van het kauwstelsel. De infecties en ontstekingen die hier het gevolg van kunnen zijn, tasten de gezondheid van de tanden en kiezen (cariës, endodontitis) en de omringende weefsels (parodontitis) aan. Echter, steeds duidelijker wordt dat ook mechanische bedreigingen de gezondheid van het kauwstelsel ernstig kunnen schaden. Verkeerde mondgewoonten zoals tandenknarsen en klemmen (bruxisme) kunnen een ongestoorde en pijnvrije functie van de kauwspieren en kaakgewrichten belemmeren (temporomandibulaire disfunctie en orofaciale pijn), aanleiding geven tot ernstig verlies van tandweefsel (gebitsattritie) en een bedreiging vormen voor tandheelkundige restauraties in de mond. Een verkeerde stand van de onderkaak en de tong tijdens de slaap kan aanleiding geven tot het obstructieve slaapapneusyndroom (OSAS). De orale kinesiologie is de tandheelkundige discipline die zich in het bijzonder bezighoudt met de preventie, diagnostiek en behandeling van bovengenoemde aandoeningen van het kauwstelsel.Dit boek is primair geschreven voor de tandarts-algemeen practicus en de student tandheelkunde of mondzorgkunde die zich de achtergronden en de klinische consequenties van stoornissen in de bewegingsfuncties van het kauwstelsel eigen willen maken om zo patiënten een optimale zorg te kunnen verlenen. Het up-to-date karakter van dit boek biedt ook de tandarts-gnatholoog/kinesioloog de mogelijkheid om hun kennis en inzichten te toetsen aan de laatste inzichten op het gebied van de orale kinesiologie. Tevens kan het boek ook medici in de eerstelijnsgeneeskunde behulpzaam zijn bij de differentiële diagnostiek van orofaciale pijn. Redacteuren:Prof. dr. ir. M. Naeije, emeritus hoogleraar in de orale functieleer bij het Academisch Centrum voor Tandheelkunde AmsterdamProf. dr. F.
