Download or read book Omics Based Approaches in Stroke Research written by Shubham Misra and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Omics-based approaches have emerged as powerful tools in stroke research, revolutionizing our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. These approaches encompass various disciplines such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, radiomics, and epigenomics, enabling comprehensive analysis of biological and imaging markers and their interactions. Through genomics, researchers can identify genetic variants associated with stroke susceptibility, offering insights into individual risk factors and personalized medicine. Transcriptomics allows the investigation of gene expression patterns, highlighting key molecular pathways involved in stroke pathology and providing potential targets for intervention. Proteomics aids in the identification and quantification of proteins associated with stroke, aiding in the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Metabolomics explores the metabolites involved in stroke pathophysiology, shedding light on metabolic alterations and potential therapeutic strategies. Radiomics involves the extraction and analysis of a multitude of quantitative features from medical imaging data, such as CT or MRI scans serving as potential imaging biomarkers, contributing to risk stratification and the identification of novel insights into stroke pathophysiology. Finally, epigenomics investigates modifications in gene expression without changing the DNA sequence, uncovering epigenetic mechanisms underlying stroke susceptibility and recovery. By integrating and analyzing data from these omics platforms, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of stroke pathogenesis, paving the way for the development of innovative diagnostic tools and effective therapeutic interventions.

Download or read book Race and Religion in American Buddhism written by Joseph Cheah and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While academic and popular studies of Buddhism have often neglected race as a factor of analysis, the issues concerning race and racialization have remained not far below the surface of the wider discussion among ethnic Buddhists, converts, and sympathizers regarding representations of American Buddhism and adaptations of Buddhist practices to the American context. In Race and Religion in American Buddhism, Joseph Cheah provides a much-needed contribution to the field of religious studies by addressing the under-theorization of race in the study of American Buddhism. Through the lens of racial formation, Cheah demonstrates how adaptations of Buddhist practices by immigrants, converts and sympathizers have taken place within an environment already permeated with the logic and ideology of whiteness and white supremacy. In other words, race and religion (Buddhism) are so intimately bounded together in the United States that the ideology of white supremacy informs the differing ways in which convert Buddhists and sympathizers and Burmese ethnic Buddhists have adapted Buddhist religious practices to an American context.Cheah offers a complex view of how the Burmese American community must negotiate not only the religious and racial terrains of the United States but also the transnational reach of the Burmese junta. Race and Religion in American Buddhism marks an important contribution to the study of American Buddhism as well as to the larger fields of U.S. religions and Asian American studies.

Download or read book Radiation Dose from Multidetector CT written by Denis Tack and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computed tomography (CT) is a powerful technique providing precise and confident diagnoses. The burgeoning use of CT has resulted in an exponential increase in collective radiation dose to the population. Despite investigations supporting the use of lower radiation doses, surveys highlight the lack of proper understanding of CT parameters that affect radiation dose. Dynamic advances in CT technology also make it important to explain the latest dose-saving strategies in an easy-to-comprehend manner. This book aims to review all aspects of the radiation dose from CT and to provide simple rules and tricks for radiologists and radiographers that will assist in the appropriate use of CT technique. The second edition includes a number of new chapters on the most up-to-date strategies and technologies for radiation dose reduction while updating the outstanding contents of the first edition. Vendor perspectives are included, and an online image gallery will also be available to readers.
