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.

On the discussed topic, the author has summarized and logically interpreted the results of experimental and clinical studies in this area. Throughout the course of scientific research, a notable discovery emerged: an undisclosed natural phenomenon - the infiltration of gastric juice through the ulcer defect in the walls of the stomach and duodenum in patients with peptic ulcer disease. Additionally, the author uncovered two new phenomena in the world around us - the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease and the interconnectedness of the folds of the mucous membrane of the stomach, the wall liquor of gastric juice, and the frequent localization of ulcers on the small curvature of the stomach and the upper semicircle of the bulb of the duodenum. Moreover, an original method of treating chronic gastroduodenal ulcers is proposed - endoscopic autohemoapplication of the ulcer. The book holds great practical value, simultaneously reinforcing the theoretical aspects of the doctrine of peptic ulcer disease and making a significant contribution to fundamental gastroenterology.

Providing good quality sleep to people with sleep-related breathing disorders is a major challenge for respiratory physiotherapists and other professionals working in the field. These patients chronically suffer from the negative effects of interrupted sleep, a consequence of increased respiratory effort, disturbing arousals and constant hypoxias. Using positive pressure equipment every night goes far beyond simply programming a device and choosing a mask.This book provides a deep analysis and interpretation of the respiratory flow curves during sleep in patients using pressure therapy. It also helps the reader to understand the influence of the physiological and pathophysiological processes on the respiratory pattern during sleep. Consisting of multiples figures, graphics and case examples, this practical work offers a comprehensive and didactic approach to using pressure therapy for sleep apnea treatment. The target audience is Sleep Medicine clinicians,as well as physicians from different specialties (Otolaryngologists, Pulmonologists, Neurologists), Physical Therapists, Dentists, Speech Pathologists, and all other professionals who work with sleep-disordered breathing field.

They are designed on the foundations of biology, engineering, and medicine. Biomedical devices are used in all areas of healthcare, including diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and care. Role in diagnosis Biomedical devices play a vital role in diagnosis. They are used to detect diseases and conditions, assess the severity of an illness, and monitor patient progress. Some examples of biomedical devices used in diagnosis include: Medical imaging devices such as X-ray machines, MRI machines, and CT scanners. These devices use radiation or sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures.Laboratory testing devices such as blood analyzers and urinalysis machines. These devices are used to measure the levels of chemicals and other substances in the blood or urine.Monitoring devices such as heart monitors and pulse oximeters. These devices are used to track a patient's vital signs.

HVORDAN LEDER VI FREMTIDENS SUNDHEDSVÆSEN er en fortsættelse af antologien om fremtidens sundhedsvæsen. Første bog HVORDAN SKABER VI FREMTIDENS SUNDHEDSVÆSEN gav et bud på, hvordan man kan sammentænke drift, forskning, innovation og uddannelse i praksis. Den nyeste bog i rækken uddyber de ledelsesopgaver, der findes i et sundhedsvæsen, der er under transformation. For én ting er at sætte retning, eventuelt med en strategi og målsætninger; noget andet er at skabe resultater gennem samspil med patienter og medarbejdere. Ledelse kræver kompetencer, som erhverves gennem viden, øvelse, refleksion og erfaring.Formålet med bogen er at give læseren et indblik i ledelsesrummet og opgavefeltet for en leder eller ledelse i de nærmeste år, når forventninger, rammer og vilkår for sundhedsvæsenet ændres. Bogen tilstræber desuden at bidrage med både et overblik over det, vi ved, der virker; det der ikke virker; og det, som kan anbefales, altså praktiske råd til ledere, hvorfor bogen kan anvendes i undervisnings- og uddannelsessammenhænge for både den nye og mere erfarne leder/ledelse. Bogen henvender sig overvejende til den leder, der er ansat og omtaler kun lidt den store udfordring, der knytter sig til at rekruttere og fastholde til en leder.

Die Bereitstellung von Spiritual Care ist durch die geringe Spiritual Care-Kompetenz unter Gesundheitsfachpersonen eingeschränkt. Das vorliegende Werk beleuchtet Spiritual Care-Kompetenz in der Ausbildung von Gesundheitsfachpersonen: in einer konzeptionellen Untersuchung erfolgt eine Begriffsklärung, in einer anwendungsbezogenen Untersuchung werden zwei Studien zur Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ausgewertet. Zunächst werden Bedeutungsdimensionen herausgearbeitet, die die Spiritual Care-Kompetenz charakterisieren. Sodann zeigt zum einen die Analyse von Interviews, dass die Teilnahme an einem Online-Spiritual Care-Seminar zu Veränderungen in der Spiritual Care-Kompetenz führt. Zum anderen zeigt eine Fragebogenauswertung, dass Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ein veränderbares Konstrukt ist und die Teilnahme am Seminar einen signifikanten Effekt auf die wahrgenommene Spiritual Care-Kompetenz hat. Zusammenführend kann das Gesamtverständnis wie folgt präzisiert werden: Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ist Relations- und Grenzsituationskompetenz und kann durch ein gezieltes Lehrangebot gefördert werden. Diese Ergebnisse sind für das Verständnis von Spiritual Care-Kompetenz im Allgemeinen sowie für die Aus- und Weiterbildung in Spiritual Care im Besonderen relevant.
