Non-communicable Diseases, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence by Youxin Wang
English | PDF | 2022 | 216 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 20.5 MB
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 recognized non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a major public health challenge. NCDs are usually multifactorial diseases influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, which makes them difficult to prevent and treat effectively. Medical and health big data, consisting of lifestyle, clinical, and biological data, provide an almost unlimited amount of information about diseases, far exceeding the human ability to make sense of it. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to analyze large and complex datasets in order to improve predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (3P medicine)

Herbal Drug for the Management of Infectious Diseases The book is a comprehensive compilation of herbal drug applications for the treatment and management of infectious diseases and addresses issues related to development, challenges, and future prospects associated with the use of herbal medicine.
The use of herbal medicines has evolved in various cultures around the world over many millennia. In many developing Asian and African countries, the use of herbal medicines, as supplied by traditional medicinal practitioners, has always been popular. In the last two to three decades, many people in developed countries have begun to turn to alternative or complementary therapies, including the use of herbal medicines, nutraceuticals, functional foods, and other supplements. This resurgence in interest in plant-derived medicines is partly due to the growing dissatisfaction with allopathic medicines, as well as the perception that plant-derived medicines are natural and therefore pure and without side effects, and the progress in the production of higher quality herbal medicines including some with proven clinical efficacy and safety.
