Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Medicine
Defines various terms typically used in pharmaceutical medicine. A new, 4th edition includes adaptations of the text to the steadily increasing regulatory requirements, particularly in the area of genetics/gene therapy, product quality (e.g., protection against falsified medicines) and of product safety (pharmacovigilance). Further evolving areas that are covered by the 4th edition are typical “grey zones” (health effects often borderline to medicinal products) such as cosmetics and dietary supplements where misleading information is prohibited on one hand but where any health claims need formal authorisation on the other.
Diastema (diagnosis & management)
Management strategies for midline diastema include addressing the underlying cause, habit correction, and potential orthodontic or restorative treatments. Orthodontic options like traditional braces, clear aligners, and lingual braces are effective in closing the gaps. Restorative treatments such as composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and ceramic crowns also offer solutions, with each method tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Despite numerous studies on environmental factors influencing diastema, the genetic basis remains under researched. Proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term retention are crucial for successful diastema management.

Device Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics
This edited book is devoted specifically to the applications of complex nonlinear dynamic phenomena to real systems and device applications. While in the past decades there has been significant progress in the theory of nonlinear phenomena under an assortment of system boundary conditions and preparations, there exist comparatively few devices that actually take this rich behavior into account. "Device Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics" applies and exploits this knowledge to make devices which operate more efficiently and cheaply, while affording the promise of much better performance. Given the current explosion of ideas in areas as diverse as molecular motors, nonlinear filtering theory, noise-enhanced propagation, stochastic resonance and networked systems, the time is right to integrate the progress of complex systems research into real devices.

Deep Learning, Machine Learning and IoT in Biomedical and Health Informatics : Techniques and Applications
Examines and demonstrates state-of-the-art approaches for IoT and Machine Learning based biomedical and health related applications. This book aims to provide computational methods for accumulating, updating and changing knowledge in intelligent systems and particularly learning mechanisms that help us to induce knowledge from the data. It is helpful in cases where direct algorithmic solutions are unavailable, there is lack of formal models, or the knowledge about the application domain is inadequately defined. In the future IoT has the impending capability to change the way we work and live. These computing methods also play a significant role in design and optimization in diverse engineering disciplines. With the influence and the development of the IoT concept, the need for AI (artificial intelligence) techniques has become more significant than ever.
Deafness and hearing loss in newborns and children
Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities and has lifelong consequences for affected children and their families. Consequences of hearing loss in children include worse outcomes in speech, language, education, social functioning, cognitive abilities, and quality of life. Both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may be caused by a wide variety of congenital and acquired factors. Genetic causes including syndromic and nonsyndromic etiologies...
