Precision Medicine for Investigators, Practitioners and Providers addresses the needs of investigators by covering the topic as an umbrella concept, from new drug trials to wearable diagnostic devices, and from pediatrics to psychiatry in a manner that is up-to-date and authoritative. Sections include broad coverage of concerning disease groups and ancillary information about techniques, resources and consequences. Moreover, each chapter follows a structured blueprint, so that multiple, essential items are not overlooked. Instead of simply concentrating on a limited number of extensive and pedantic coverages, scholarly diagrams are also included. Provides a three-pronged approach to precision medicine that is focused on investigators, practitioners and healthcare providers Covers disease groups and ancillary information about techniques, resources and consequences Follows a structured blueprint, ensuring essential chapters items are not overlooked

It has become clear that managing and maintaining state-of-the-art healthcare facilities is more important than ever before. Healthcare consists of many different institutions and supports personnel ranging from laboratories of universities, public and private hospitals, research centers of health institutions, public health institutes, institutions, and organizations engaged in research and development in the field of medicine. For all these entities to be successful, there needs to be coordination among the bodies and quality must be kept at a very high level. The Handbook of Research on Quality and Competitiveness in the Healthcare Services Sector considers the current state of the healthcare services sector and examines future directions. Covering topics such as quality excellence models, accreditation, and e-health, this major reference work is an essential resource for economists, healthcare specialists, government officials, consultants, business leaders and executives, healthcare professionals, IT managers, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

New materials and manufacturing techniques are evolving with the potential to address the challenges associated with the manufacture of medicinal products that will teach new tricks to old drugs. Nano- and microfabrication techniques include manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing, lithography, micro-moulding, spray drying, and supercritical fluids among many others. The increasing resolution of new techniques allow researchers to produce objects with micrometric resolutions. This book follows a consecutive order, beginning with a background in the current field and limitations in the manufacturing of different pharmaceutical products, moving on the classification of each method by providing recent examples, and future prospective on a variety of traditional and new Nano and microfabrication techniques. A focus on the materials used to prepare these systems and their biocompatibility, including applied topics such as clinical applications and regulatory aspects also covered, offering the reader a holistic view of this rapidly growing field.
