This Open Access textbook provides students and researchers in the life sciences with essential practical information on how to quantitatively analyze data images. It refrains from focusing on theory, and instead uses practical examples and step-by step protocols to familiarize readers with the most commonly used image processing and analysis platforms such as ImageJ, MatLab and Python. Besides gaining knowhow on algorithm usage, readers will learn how to create an analysis pipeline by scriptin…

Abstract: This Open Access textbook provides students and researchers in the life sciences with essential practical information on how to quantitatively analyze data images. It refrains from focusing on theory, and instead uses practical examples and step-by step protocols to familiarize readers with the most commonly used image processing and analysis platforms such as ImageJ, MatLab and Python. Besides gaining knowhow on algorithm usage, readers will learn how to create an analysis pipeline by scripting language. These skills are important in order to document reproducible image analysis workflows. The textbook is chiefly intended for advanced undergraduates in the life sciences and biomedicine without a theoretical background in data analysis, as well as for postdocs, staff scientists and faculty members who need to perform regular quantitative analyses of microscopy images.

Contents: Workflows and Components of Bioimage Analysis -- Measurements of Intensity Dynamics at the Periphery of the Nucleus -- 3D Quantitative Colocalisation Analysis -- The NEMO Dots Assembly: Single-Particle Tracking and Analysis -- Introduction to MATLAB -- Resolving the Process of Clathrin Mediated Endocytosis Using Correlative Light & Electron Microscopy (CLEM).

Abstract: Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine meets the growing demand of practitioners, researchers, educators, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in the field and the underlying scientific issues that sit at the intersection of biomedical science, patient care, public health, and information technology (IT). This 4th edition reflects the remarkable changes in both computing and health care that continue to occur and the exploding interest in the role that IT must play in care coordination and the melding of genomics with innovations in clinical practice and treatment. New chapters have been introduced on the health information infrastructure, consumer health informatics, telemedicine, translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, and health IT policy, while the others have all undergone extensive revisions, in many cases with new authors. The organization and philosophy are unchanged, focusing on the science of information and knowledge management and the role of computers and communications in modern biomedical research, health, and health care. Emphasizing the conceptual basis of the field rather than technical details, it provides an introduction and extensive bibliography so that readers can comprehend, assess, and utilize biomedical informatics and health IT. The volume focuses on easy-to-understand examples, a guide to additional literature, chapter summaries, and a comprehensive glossary with concise definitions of recurring terms for self-study or classroom use.

Contents: Biomedical Informatics: The Science and the Pragmatics -- Biomedical Data: Their Acquisition, Storage, and Use -- Biomedical Decision Making: Probabilistic Clinical Reasoning -- Cognitive Science and Biomedical Informatics -- Computer Architectures for Health Care and Biomedicine -- Software Engineering for Health Care and Biomedicine -- Standards in Biomedical Informatics -- Natural Language Processing in Health Care and Biomedicine -- Biomedical Imaging Informatics -- Ethics and Biomedical and Health Informatics: Users, Standards, and Outcomes -- Evaluation of Biomedical and Health Information Resources -- Electronic Health Record Systems -- The Health Information Infrastructure -- Management of Information in Health Care Organizations -- Patient-Centered Care Systems -- Public Health Informatics -- Consumer Health Informatics and Personal Health Records -- Telehealth -- Patient Monitoring Systems -- Imaging Systems in Radiology -- Information Retrieval and Digital Libraries -- Clinical Decision-Support Systems -- Computers in Health Care Education -- Bioinformatics -- Translational Bioinformatics -- Clinical Research Informatics -- Health Information Technology Policy -- The Future of Informatics in Biomedicine.

Abstract: Over the years, medical informatics has matured into a true scientific discipline. Fundamental and applied aspects are now taught in various fields of health, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and public health. Medical informatics is also often included in the curricula of many other disciplines, including the life sciences, engineering and economics. Medical informatics is a complex and rapidly changing discipline. Relatively few books have been published on the subject, and they rapidly become obsolete. This book is the fruit of a collaborative effort between authors teaching medical informatics in France and others who are conducting research in this field. In addition, an international perspective was pursued, as reflected in the inclusion of various developments and actions in both the USA and Europe. This book is divided into 18 chapters, all of which include learning objectives, recommendations for further reading, exercises and bibliographic references.

Contents: Medical informatics as a scientific discipline -- Medical vocabulary, terminological resources, and information coding in the health domain -- The management and dissemination of health knowledge -- Representation of patient data in the health information systems and the electronic medical record -- The processing of medical images: principles, main applications and prospects -- Enhanced medical interventions : surgetics and robotics -- Medical diagnostic decision support -- Computerized drug prescription decision support -- Computerized medico-economic decision making: an international comparison -- Public health decision support -- Security, legal and ethical aspects of computerized health data in Europe -- Hospital information systems -- Sharing data and medical records -- Computerizing the doctor's office -- Computerizing the dental office -- E-health -- Translational bioinformatics and clinical research informatics -- Human factors and ergonomics in medical informatics.
