Título : Health in Megacities and Urban Areas Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Alexander Krämer ; Mobarak Hossain Khan ; Frauke Kraas Editorial: Heidelberg : Physica-Verlag HD Fecha de publicación: 2011 Colección: Contributions to Statistics, ISSN 1431-1968 Número de páginas: XIV, 319 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-7908-2733-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Medicine Geography Statistics Environmental health Emigration and immigration & Public Health Medicine/Public Health, general Migration Geography, for Life Sciences, Medicine, Sciences Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: Diverse driving forces, processes and actors are responsible for different trends in the development of megacities and large urban areas. Under the dynamics of global change, megacities are themselves changing: On the one hand they are prone to increasing socio-economic vulnerability due to pronounced poverty, socio-spatial and political fragmentation, sometimes with extreme forms of segregation, disparities and conflicts. On the other hand megacities offer positive potential for global transformation, e.g. minimisation of space consumption, highly effective use of resources, efficient disaster prevention and health care options – if good strategies were developed. At present in many megacities and urban areas of the developing world and the emerging economies the quality of life is eroding. Most of the megacities have grown to unprecedented size, and the pace of urbanisation has far exceeded the growth of the necessary infrastructure and services. As a result, an increasing number of urban dwellers are left without access to basic amenities like clean drinking water, fresh air and safe food. Additionally, social inequalities lead to subsequent and significant intra-urban health inequalities and unbalanced disease burdens that can trigger conflict and violence between subpopulations. The guiding idea of our book lies in a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to the complex topic of megacities and urban health that can only be adequately understood when different disciplines share their knowledge and methodological tools to work together. We hope that the book will allow readers to deepen their understanding of the complex dynamics of urban and megacity populations through the lens of public health, geographical and other research perspectives En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7908-2733-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=33449 Health in Megacities and Urban Areas [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Alexander Krämer ; Mobarak Hossain Khan ; Frauke Kraas . - Heidelberg : Physica-Verlag HD, 2011 . - XIV, 319 p : online resource. - (Contributions to Statistics, ISSN 1431-1968) .

Título : Health Technology Assessment and Health Policy Today: A Multifaceted View of their Unstable Crossroads Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Juan E. del Llano-Señarís ; Carlos Campillo-Artero Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2015 Número de páginas: XVI, 156 p. 7 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-15004-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Medicine Health administration economics Medical Economics Medicine/Public Health, general Administration Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: This book disentangles the issues in connection with the advancement of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and its interface with health policy. It highlights the factors that should shape its progress in the near future. Interdisciplinary and critical views from a number of professionals are put together in a prescient order to cast some light and make recommendations as to the next steps HTA should take to be fit for purpose. A wealth of documents dealing with HTA have been published over the last three decades. HTA allegedly is one of the bedrocks of regulation and medical decision making. However, counter vailing visions contend that geographical variations in the role that HTA is actually playing within countries pinpoints specific room for improvement. Given our social preferences, cherry-picking HTA’s features and successes over the last decades moves it away from its possibility frontier. Some of the most noteworthy hindrances that HTA faces, in several countries, to making headway towards its consolidation as an efficient tool for regulation and decision making are as follows: insufficient resources, delays in assessment, inadequate priority setting, regulatory capture, public distrust, actual influence on regulatory decisions, the need for strengthening international cooperation and harmony, the lack of sound and consistent assessments of diagnostic tests, medical devices and surgical innovations and limited dissemination. Time has come for HTA to take a renewed stand. There is a pressing need to submit HTA to in-depth critical scrutiny Nota de contenido: Health Technology Assessment and its Interface with Regulation, Policy and Management -- Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and the Incentives to Innovation in the Life Cycle of a Health Technology -- The Wisdom Tooth of Health Technology Assessment -- Regaining Health Technology Assessment from Oblivion: Improving and Integrating Regulation of Drugs, Medical Devices, Diagnostic Tests and Surgical Innovations -- Four Issues in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis and Health Technology Assessment: a View from the Touch-line -- Measuring QALYs for HTA and Health Policy Decision Making: Bridging the Gap Between Power and ACT -- What Health Technology Assessment System Do we Really Need?

Alves ; Pardalos, Panos M ; Luis Nunes Vicente Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2008 Colección: Springer Optimization and Its Applications, ISSN 1931-6828 num. 12 Número de páginas: X, 195 p. 60 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-73299-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Medicine Radiology Mathematical optimization Calculus of variations & Public Health Medicine/Public Health, general Optimization Variations and Optimal Control; Imaging / Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: Optimization has become an essential tool in addressing the limitation of resources and need for better decision-making in the medical field. Both continuous and discrete mathematical techniques are playing an increasingly important role in understanding several fundamental problems in medicine. This volume presents a wide range of medical applications that can utilize mathematical computing. Examples include using an algorithm for considering the seed reconstruction problem in brachytherapy and using optimization-classification models to assist in the early prediction, diagnosis and detection of diseases. Discrete optimization techniques and measures derived from the theory of nonlinear dynamics, with analysis of multi-electrode electroencephalographic (EEG) data, assist in predicting impending epileptic seizures. Mathematics in medicine can also be found in recent cancer research. Sophisticated mathematical models and optimization algorithms have been used to generate treatment plans for radionuclide implant and external beam radiation therapy. Optimization techniques have also been used to automate the planning process in Gamma Knife treatment, as well as to address a variety of medical image registration problems. This work grew out of a workshop on optimization which was held during the 2005 CIM Thematic Term on Optimization in Coimbra, Portugal. It provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in optimization in medicine and will serve as an excellent reference for researchers in the medical computing community and for those working in applied mathematics and optimization Nota de contenido: The influence of dose grid resolution on beam selection strategies in radiotherapy treatment design -- Decomposition of matrices and static multileaf collimators: a survey -- Neuro-dynamic programming for fractionated radiotherapy planning -- Randomized algorithms for mixed matching and covering in hypergraphs in 3D seed reconstruction in brachytherapy -- Global optimization and spatial synchronization changes prior to epileptic seizures -- Optimization-based predictive models in medicine and biology -- Optimal reconstruction kernels in medical imaging -- Optimal control in high intensity focused ultrasound surgery En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-73299-2 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=34179 Optimization in Medicine [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Carlos J.
