Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of ‘real-life medicine’. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time which may be missed by the ‘snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise. Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect in whichever simple or complex way that they may present Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum Illustrates the complicated progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding Shows with timepoints how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise Describes a typical initial hospital stay and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission The Authors Andrew Solomon BM BCH MA(Hons) DM FRCP is a Consultant Physician East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Stevenage UK.

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions small businesses need to create cost-effective security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that “with security comes compliance ” this book starts by defining “security-first” and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices. Rather than focusing solely on individual cybersecurity frameworks this book offers insights into best practices based on the commonalities between regulations and industry standards highlighting some of the primary differences to show the nuances. Woven throughout are practical examples of solutions that enable small and mid-sized businesses to create “cybersustainable” security-focused policies processes and controls that protect today’s future for tomorrow’s digital ecosystem. | Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Machine Learning in Healthcare Fundamentals and Recent Applications

Machine Learning in Healthcare Fundamentals and Recent Applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques play an important role in our daily lives by enhancing predictions and decision-making for the public in several fields such as financial services real estate business consumer goods social media etc. Despite several studies that have proved the efficacy of AI/ML tools in providing improved healthcare solutions it has not gained the trust of health-care practitioners and medical scientists. This is due to poor reporting of the technology variability in medical data small datasets and lack of standard guidelines for application of AI. Therefore the development of new AI/ML tools for various domains of medicine is an ongoing field of research. Machine Learning in Healthcare: Fundamentals and Recent Applications discusses how to build various ML algorithms and how they can be applied to improve healthcare systems. Healthcare applications of AI are innumerable: medical data analysis early detection and diagnosis of disease providing objective-based evidence to reduce human errors curtailing inter- and intra-observer errors risk identification and interventions for healthcare management real-time health monitoring assisting clinicians and patients for selecting appropriate medications and evaluating drug responses. Extensive demonstrations and discussion on the various principles of machine learning and its application in healthcare is provided along with solved examples and exercises. This text is ideal for readers interested in machine learning without any background knowledge and looking to implement machine-learning models for healthcare systems. | Machine Learning in Healthcare Fundamentals and Recent Applications

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy is not just the right to be left alone but also the right to autonomy control and access to your personal data. The employment of new technologies over the last three decades drives personal data to play an increasingly important role in our economies societies and everyday lives. Personal information has become an increasingly valuable commodity in the digital age. At the same time the abundance and persistence of personal data have elevated the risks to individuals’ privacy. In the age of Big Data the Internet of Things Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to fully comprehend let alone control how and for what purposes organizations collect use and disclose their personal information. Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about their privacy making the need for strong privacy champions ever more acute. With a veritable explosion of data breaches highlighted almost daily across the globe and the introduction of heavy-handed privacy laws and regulatory frameworks privacy has taken center stage for businesses. Businesses today are faced with increasing demands for privacy protections ever-more complex regulations and ongoing cybersecurity challenges that place heavy demands on scarce resources. Senior management and executives now acknowledge privacy as some of the biggest risks to the business. Privacy traditionally has existed in a separate realm resulting in an unintentional and problematic barrier drawn between the privacy team and the rest of the organization. With many regulatory frameworks to consider building an all-encompassing data privacy program becomes increasingly challenging. Effective privacy protection is essential to maintaining consumer trust and enabling a robust and innovative digital economy in which individuals feel they may participate with confidence. This book aims at helping organizations in establishing a unified integrated enterprise-wide privacy program. This book is aiming to help privacy leaders and professionals to bridge the privacy program and business strategies transform legal terms and dead text to live and easy-to-understand essential requirements which organizations can easily implement identify and prioritize privacy program gap initiatives and promote awareness and embed privacy into the everyday work of the agency and its staff. | Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program
