According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over seven million people in the US alone suffer from severe vision loss or blindness. In the past, low vision was truly a life-altering condition. Those seemingly everyday tasks that were once so simple instead became difficult--whether one had to work, cook, read, drive, go out to shop, or even turn on a light switch, one's world had been completely turned upside down.. Today, however, things have begun to change. With the revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) already underway, many of the major barriers caused by diminished or fully lost vision have been lessened or completely eliminated. In Low Vision Matters, authors Laura Stevens and Thomas Blackman provide a comprehensive guide to all the aids and equipment now available--along with important practical advice--to those who are vision-challenged.The book is divided into two parts. Part One focuses on the day-to-day activities that low vision can affect--from safety in your home or traveling outside, to the handling of finances or one's home entertainment system. It discusses the latest technologies that can enable a person with eyesight problems to turn on a light, start a dishwasher, or even answer a phone through the use of oral commands--and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Part Two then provides a breakdown of the various kinds of helpful vision-aid products now available. Because the authors understand the costs involved in purchasing such equipment, they include the names of those organizations and associations in an extensive Resources section along with various other crucial contacts about which those with low vision and their loved ones and caretakers need to know. Times have t changed. Low Vision Matters provides a wealth of information that can vastly improve the daily life of a person living with vision loss or blindness..

Challenges of Traditional Crop Disease DiagnosisTraditional crop disease diagnosis is a process used to identify diseases in crops. It is typically done by visually inspecting crops, or by using laboratory tests. Traditional crop disease diagnosis has a number of challenges, which can lead to reduced crop yields.ChallengesSome of the major challenges of traditional crop disease diagnosis include:· Time: The traditional crop disease diagnosis process can be time-consuming, which can lead to not having enough time to control the disease.· Technology: Traditional crop disease diagnosis technology is often expensive and not readily available.· Experience: Traditional crop disease diagnosis requires experience, which is not available to all farmers.SolutionsThere are a number of ways to address the challenges of traditional crop disease diagnosis. Some of these include:· Automation: By automating the traditional crop disease diagnosis process, time and costs can be reduced.· New technologies: By developing new technologies, traditional crop disease diagnosis can be made more accurate and easier.· Training: By providing farmers with training in traditional crop disease diagnosis, their skills can be improved.

This book presents the recent developments in immunomodulatory biomaterials for cell-based therapies in various diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and bone regeneration. The authors first cover the fundamentals of conventional immunology and immunomodulation, before focusing on the history, advantages, and challenges of cell therapies. Biological cell therapy has gained immense attention for various diseases due to unique advantages it has over chemical drugs regarding cost, ease of production, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy. However, these cell-based therapies need an inert delivery system that can locally deliver cells and minimally elicit foreign body response. The book discusses the foreign body response to the immunomodulatory biomaterials as well as the current and future strategies for potential mitigation of considerable immune responses toward immunomodulatory biomaterials and devices.

A urinalysis is a simple test that can help find urinary tract-related problems such as kidney disease. It can also pinpoint other serious problems not so closely related to kidneys, such as diabetes, liver disease, or even various cancers. Simply put, urine analyses may provide huge amounts of information to monitor a potential patient¿s condition. The history of analysis of urine for diagnostic purposes is quite long. It includes the detection of microbes as etiological agents of infection and the estimation of biochemical parameters such as glucose and protein concentration. Furthermore, the increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease or other ¿civilization diseases¿ such as diabetes, hypertension, or obesity manifests the need for effective tools for specific and sensitive diagnosis. This book summarizes the state of the art in diagnosing infectious and non-infectious diseases based on urine analysis. Additionally, it focuses on novel techniques and applications used in everyday laboratory urinalysis. The history of analysis of urine for diagnostic purposes is quite long.

An insider view of the surprising innovations, collaborations and human stories behind our most vital medicines.

Medical treatments designed to help people can also be harmful or fatal. Around 2.5 million people die this way each year. So if any kind of medicine makes someone unwell, they or their doctor should report it. Those reports, from nearly every country in the world, go to the Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) in Sweden. As the Centre¿s first director, Professor Ivor Ralph Edwards transformed it from a tiny operation with limited horizons into an internationally acclaimed scientific organization at the heart of the World Health Organization¿s Programme for International Drug Monitoring. He was then succeeded by his wife, Dr Marie Lindquist.This is the story of how a new science developed and a passionate and dedicated pursuit of worldwide medicines safety, with an unerring focus on the welfare of patients. The pioneering work of Ralph, Marie and their collaborators on every continent protected the lives of millions of people. It may yet improve the lives of billions more.
