This comprehensive collection is a survey of research in object-oriented databases, offering a substantive overview of the field, section introductions, and over 40 research papers presented in their original scope and detail. The balanced selection of articles presents a confluence of ideas from both the language and database research communities that have contributed to the object-oriented paradigm. The editors develop a general definition and model for object-oriented databases and relate significant research efforts to this framework. Further, the collection explores the fundamental notions behind object-oriented databases, semantic data models, implementation of object-oriented systems, transaction processing, interfaces, and related approaches. Research and theory are balanced by applications to CAD systems, programming environments, and office information systems.

The traditional agents for controlling the levels of glucose in the blood remain important therapies but they have their downside from the point of view of tolerability and side effects. Moreover, they appear not to be able to counter the natural history deterioration of the disease in terms of the onset of diabetic-related complications. Recent years have seen an influx of new treatment therapies and technologies aimed at achieving better glycaemic control for diabetic patients such as liraglutide (Novo Nordisk) and saxagliptin (BMS/Astra-Zeneca) and insulin pumps, away from the more traditional therapies used (classic insulin therapy, oral hypoglycaemics). This book outlines these new technologies/treatments by collating the best journal articles published in the last year, and providing expert analysis on each one. Advanced Technologies and Treatment for Diabetes 3E brings together and critically analyses the last year’s most important articles published in the world’s leading medical journals on this topic. Chapters are focused on the most current hot topic areas such as: new methods of insulin delivery; internet and IT use in treatment of diabetes; bariatric surgery & diabetes; and immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes. Each chapter includes abstracts of the published articles, scientific conclusions made, as well as annotations and a comments and analysis section from the relevant chapter editor, each of which being a well-known expert in the field. All researchers in the fields of diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism will find this book extremely useful, as will diabetes technology developers, and specialist endocrinologists involved with the care of diabetic patients.

Intelligence-Based Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery: Artificial Intelligence and Human Cognition in Cardiovascular Medicine provides a comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence concepts and methodologies with real-life applications in cardiovascular medicine. Authored by a senior physician-data scientist, the book presents an intellectual and academic interface between the medical and data science domains. The book's content consists of basic concepts of artificial intelligence and human cognition applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. This portfolio ranges from big data, machine and deep learning, cognitive computing and natural language processing in cardiac disease states such as heart failure, hypertension and pediatric heart care. The book narrows the knowledge and expertise chasm between the data scientists, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, inspiring clinicians to embrace artificial intelligence methodologies, educate data scientists about the medical ecosystem, and create a transformational paradigm for healthcare and medicine. - Covers a wide range of relevant topics from real-world data, large language models, and supervised machine learning to deep reinforcement and federated learning - Presents artificial intelligence concepts and their applications in many areas in an easy-to-understand format accessible to clinicians and data scientists - Discusses using artificial intelligence and related technologies with cardiology and cardiac surgery in a myriad of venues and situations - Delineates the necessary elements for successfully implementing artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine for improved patient outcomes - Presents the regulatory, ethical, legal, and financial issues embedded in artificial intelligence applications in cardiology
