The identification of disease-related microRNAs is vital for understanding the pathogenesis of disease at the molecular level and may lead to the design of specific molecular tools for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Experimental identification of disease-related microRNAs poses difficulties. Computational prediction of microRNA-disease associations is one of the complementary means. However,...
Introduction: Moxibustion means application of heat directly or indirectly on the skin at certain points (called Acupuncture points) with a certain technique by igniting dried Moxa leaves. It is a method of treatment complementary and enhancing to Acupuncture therapy, in certain conditions alone can be more effective. Oriental belief is that Moxa leaves take away dampness from the body. Botanical...
Music electrotherapy is on the basis of electro-acupuncture, which combined music, electrode with electro-acupuncture. This method draws on the characteristics of both electrotherapy and music therapy music. Music electrotherapy through music and music signals acting on the hearing and body, increase or improve the person's psychological, physiological conditions, so as to achieve health, disease...
In recent years, with the development of the economy and the advancement of the national income, personal healthcare has been becoming an important issue. Since the health examination can help people understand their own health conditions clearly, many people make regularly health examinations to avoid missing the best treatment time. So the health examination is an important role for people's health...
United States spends more per capita on health than any other nation, yet has worse health outcomes than many other countries. Moreover, expenditures on health in the U.S. are growing rapidly, and are taking up an increasingly larger share of per capita gross domestic product. Elsewhere in the world, some nations struggle with basic health issues such as sanitation and control of infectious diseases,...
The paper discusses integrating of current and emerging technologies with healthcare. These technologies can be used for prevention of diseases, enhancing healthcare access, efficient and accurate diagnostics, effective healthcare delivery, rehabilitation, healthcare information management, improving quality of life at all ages and many other features. In this paper, we discuss several aspects of...
ldquoPersonal Healthcarerdquo refers to the prevention and management of diseases outside the institutional points of care. The paradigm shift is to apply healthcare whereever a person may be, at his home or on the move. This new paradigm will allow a much more frequent interaction of a professional or the patient himself with his health status. Even for ill people the typical frequency of doctor...
Healthcare markets and healthcare systems worldwide will be undergoing tremendous changes in the upcoming 5-10 years. We will experience a paradigm shift in the personal awareness and responsibility of disease prevention and health management. Skyrocketing costs, an ageing population and a variety of technical innovations that enhance the quality of life of patients with chronical diseases or suffering...
This talk discusses some trends in diagnostics and treatment anchored in recent advances in signal processing. The talk begins with an introduction to compressed sensing and describes its applications in MRI cardiac imaging. Next, the talk focuses on biclustering techniques and their use in developing group biomarkers for ovarian cancer. The talk concludes with an overview of wireless wearable sensors...
Telemedicine is defined as, the delivery of e-health services, where distance is a critical factor, by all e-health professionals using telecommunication technologies for the exchange of medical information for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and injuries, research and evaluation, and for continuing education of health care providers, all in the interests of advancing the health of...
We developed an experimental system of Cardiac Arrhythmia Risk Evaluation (CARE) based on electrophysiological computer simulation. The system can evaluate a risk of tachyarrhythmia by the electrophysiological simulation with premature stimulation to many sites in the ventricular model, and users can browse the results on the Web page with the visualized data. The system is expected to be useful to...
