Parkinson¿s Disease affects not only gross motor but also speech motor control. Standard treatment options are drug treatment with levodopa and surgical treatment with deep brain stimulation. While both treatments are effective for gross motor symptoms, it is yet to be fully understood how speech responds to levodopa and deep brain stimulation. This thesis investigates the effect of both treatment options on the kinematic, acoustic and perceptual level in the same group of speakers with Parkinson¿s disease for a first time

The Latin American region has been at the forefront in combating infections caused by Escherichia coli strains in humans, animals, and the environment. The continuous emergence and evolution of pathogenic E. coli strains associated with human and animal infections have demonstrated that (i) groups of related pathogenic E. coli are responsible for most infections caused by this bacterial species; (ii) diverse virulence phenotypes expressed during infection defined each one of these pathogroups; (iii) the geographical distribution of pathogroups in Latin America and the evolution of new isolates was defined by the dominant pathogroup and presence of distinct virulence strains; (iv) acquisition of mobile elements or accumulation of point mutations accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance in some of these strains. The Latin American Coalition for Escherichia coli Research (LACER), a multidisciplinary network of over seventy research groups in eleven Latin American countries and the USA, was established in 2009 to apply One Health principles in defining and combating this pathogen. The previous edition of this text, Escherichia coli in the Americas (c. 2016) was the culmination of their wisdom about E. coli, from its role as a commensal bacterium to its characteristics as a pathogen causing disease in animals and humans. This new edition presents recent advances and contextualizes all aspects of E. coli in a One Health perspective, from the environment, to animals, to humans. It addresses E. coli interactions with host microbiota, CNS, and phages. It includes cutting edge insights on hybrid strains, molecular mechanisms of virulence and pathogenesis, resistance, domestic and wild reservoirs, disease surveillance in Latin America, genomic analysis, food safety, and new therapies. Crucially, it also provides translations and analysis of key reports on Escherichia colipublished in Spanish and Portuguese. This book serves as a critical resource for scientists in industry and academia, clinicians managing associated infections, and trainees and students studying basic and clinical aspects of E. coli pathogenesis.

Internet-based technologies prevail in most of the world. Along with the positive features of digital technologies that permeate our lives in almost every area, including lifestyles and daily practices, the traces of negative aspects have also become evident. Digital addiction is among the most important of these aspects. It is obvious that communication, which has been maintained in various forms since the beginning of humanity, has been shaped by the period in which it is lived. The technology-based transformation has transformed communication, which has been adopted to the "internet" in the world, into a completely different form. Communication, which has become sustainable at any time and anywhere, regardless of location, led by the never-ending elements of "continuity" and "interaction," has turned into an indispensable form. Perspectives on Society and Technology Addiction examines every subject of digital addiction in an interdisciplinary way. It discusses the issues about what technology addiction is, how to deal with this addiction, how to use the existing technology in a positive way, how to deal with this technology for disadvantaged groups, and concerns in the fields of social science and communication science. Covering topics such as Consumer 5.0, experience design, and information markets, this premier reference source is an essential resource for sociologists, policymakers, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

This book describes the application of signal and image processing technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning techniques to support Covid-19 diagnosis and treatment. The book focuses on two main applications: critical diagnosis requiring high precision and speed, and treatment of symptoms, including those affecting the cardiovascular and neurological systems.The areas discussed in this book range from signal processing, time series analysis, and image segmentation to detection and classification. Technical approaches include deep learning, transfer learning, transformers, AutoML, and other machine learning techniques that can be considered not only for Covid-19 issues but also for different medical applications, with slight adjustments to the problem under study.The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world and changed how societies and individuals interact. Due to the high infection and mortality rates, and the multiple consequences of the virusinfection in the human body, the challenges were vast and enormous. These necessitated the integration of different disciplines to address the problems. As a global response, researchers across academia and industry made several developments to provide computational solutions to support epidemiologic, managerial, and health/medical decisions. To that end, this book provides state-of-the-art information on the most advanced solutions.

"At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year-a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months-is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That's next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian's double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life"--

Recent Updates in Eating Disorders raises recent relevant issues about eating disorders and obesity that have led us to speak of an 'eating disorder society', especially among adolescents who are at the most vulnerable stage of life. It is important not only to be aware of the behaviours that occur before the emergence of an eating disorder, but also, from a clinical perspective, to talk about diagnostic criteria. It is also important to specify, as accurately as possible, the severity criteria and the presence of comorbidity, in order to establish better protocols for therapeutic action. We also address the issue of social media networks and their influence on the development of eating disorders (and many other problems). While this work is neither exhaustive nor extensive, we nevertheless hope it will be of interest and will open up further lines of study and research in the near future.
