Biofilms Infection and Antimicrobial Therapy

Biofilms Infection and Antimicrobial Therapy

Rather than existing in a planktonic or free-living form evidence indicates that microbes show a preference for living in a sessile form within complex communities called biofilms. Biofilms appear to afford microbes a survival advantage by optimizing nutrition offering protection against hostile elements and providing a network for cell-to-cell signaling and genetic exchange. Biofilms Infection and Antimicrobial Therapy provides an in-depth exploration of biofilms offering broad background information as well a detailed look at the serious concerns to which biofilm-associated infections give rise. Prosthetic device infections such as those involving artificial heart valves intravascular catheters or prosthetic joints are prime examples of biofilm-associated infections. With the increasing use of such devices in the modern practice of medicine the prevalence of these infections is expected to increase. Unfortunately one of the most troubling characteristics of microbes found in biofilms is a profound resistance to antimicrobial agents. As biofilm-associated infections are particularly difficult to treat they result in significant mortality morbidity and increased economic burden. Clearly a better understanding of the pathogenesis of these infections and improved means for prevention and treatment are urgently needed! InBiofilms Infection and Antimicrobial Therapy Drs Pace Rupp and Finch assemble the contributions of more than 50 of the world’s leading authorities on microbial biofilms who present recent findings on antibacterial tolerance and bacterial persistence associated with biofilms and discuses the implications of those findings with regard to human health. They explore the molecular mechanisms of bacterial adherence biofilm formation regulation of biofilm maintenance and cell-to-cell communication and present the latest information on various treatment protocols that should aid physicians in the treatment o

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Like an army of millions ready to defend its territory the human immune system acts as the body's primary line of defense-a complex network of interacting cells that protects us from pathogens and other foreign substances. But many components of the immune system exhibit change after prolonged heavy exertion indicating that it is suppressed and stressed albeit transiently following prolonged endurance exercise. For marathon runners distance swimmers and any other endurance athlete who undergoes repeated cycles of heavy exertion a weakened immune system could lead to health complications such as respiratory infection. As a result interest in various nutrient supplements with the potential to counter exercise-induced immunosuppression has grown. Nutrition and Exercise Immunology reviews the link between nutrition and immune function with special application to athletic endeavor. Written by respected researchers in sports medicine and exercise immunology this text covers topics such as carbohydrates and the immune response to prolonged exertion; protein exercise and immunity; and vitamins immunity and infection risk in athletes. It also takes a look at future directions in nutrition and exercise immunology. For sports medicine professionals dietitians nutritionists exercise immunologists as well as endurance athletes Nutrition and Exercise Immunology provides an important and in-depth look into this exciting new area of scientific research.

Time Delay ODE/PDE Models Applications in Biomedical Science and Engineering

Time Delay ODE/PDE Models Applications in Biomedical Science and Engineering

Time delayed (lagged) variables are an inherent feature of biological/physiological systems. For example infection from a disease may at first be asymptomatic and only after a delay is the infection apparent so that treatment can begin. Thus to adequately describe physiological systems time delays are frequently required and must be included in the equations of mathematical models. The intent of this book is to present a methodology for the formulation and computer implementation of mathematical models based on time delay ordinary differential equations (DODEs) and partial differential equations (DPDEs). The DODE/DPDE methodology is presented through a series of example applications particularly in biomedical science and engineering (BMSE). The computer-based implementation of the example models is explained with routines coded (programmed) in R a quality open-source scientific computing system that is readily available from the Internet. Formal mathematics isminimized e. g. no theorems and proofs. Rather the presentation is through detailed examples that the reader/researcher/analyst can execute on modest computers. The DPDE analysis is based on the method of lines (MOL) an established general algorithm for PDEs implemented with finite differences. The example applications can first be executed to confirm the reported solutions then extended by variation of the parameters and the equation terms and even the forumulation and use of alternative DODE/DPDE models. • Introduces time delay ordinary and partial differential equations (DODE/DPDEs) and their numerical computer-based integration (solution)• Illustrates the computer implementation of DODE/DPDE models with coding (programming) in R a quality open-source scientific programming system readily available from the Internet• Applies DODE/DPDE models to biological/physiological systems through a series of examples• Provides the R routines for all of the illustrative applications through a download link• Facilitates the use of the models with reasonable time and effort on modest computers | Time Delay ODE/PDE Models Applications in Biomedical Science and Engineering

Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things

Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things

We have seen a sharp increase in the development of data transfer techniques in the networking industry over the past few years. We can see that the photos are assisting clinicians in detecting infection in patients even in the current COVID-19 pandemic condition. With the aid of ML/AI medical imaging such as lung X-rays for COVID-19 infection is crucial in the early detection of many diseases. We also learned that in the COVID-19 scenario both wired and wireless networking are improved for data transfer but have network congestion. An intriguing concept that has the ability to reduce spectrum congestion and continuously offer new network services is providing wireless network virtualization. The degree of virtualization and resource sharing varies between the paradigms. Each paradigm has both technical and non-technical issues that need to be handled before wireless virtualization becomes a common technology. For wireless network virtualization to be successful these issues need careful design and evaluation. Future wireless network architecture must adhere to a number of Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Virtualization has been extended to wireless networks as well as conventional ones. By enabling multi-tenancy and tailored services with a wider range of carrier frequencies it improves efficiency and utilization. In the IoT environment wireless users are heterogeneous and the network state is dynamic making network control problems extremely difficult to solve as dimensionality and computational complexity keep rising quickly. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been developed by the use of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) as a potential approach to solve high-dimensional and continuous control issues effectively. Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques provide great potential in IoT edge and SDN scenarios and are used in heterogeneous networks for IoT-based management on the QoS required by each Software Defined Network (SDN) service. While DRL has shown great potential to solve emerging problems in complex wireless network virtualization there are still domain-specific challenges that require further study including the design of adequate DNN architectures with 5G network optimization issues resource discovery and allocation developing intelligent mechanisms that allow the automated and dynamic management of the virtual communications established in the SDNs which is considered as research perspective. | Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things
