    Summary: "For many centuries, people have tried to learn about the state of their health. Initially, in the pre-technological period, they had to rely only on their senses. Then there were simple tools to help the human senses. The discovery of X-rays, which allowed people to look 6 nside" the body, turned out to be a major breakthrough. Contemporary medical diagnostics is increasingly being assisted by information technology that allows, for example, thorough image tissue analysis or pathology differentiation. They also allow very early preventive diagnostics. Influenced by information technology, 6 lassic" diagnostic techniques change and new ones arise. Information Technology in Medical Diagnostics presents selected and extended conference papers from Polish, Ukrainian and Kazakh scientists. They address problems of the application of new methods of image processing for analysis of medical images, new methods of classification of medical data as well as new medical imaging methods. Some of the presented technologies are inspired by the functioning of living organisms. Information Technology in Medical Diagnostics is of interest not only to academics and engineers, but also to professionals involved in biomedical engineering, and seeking for solutions for issues that cannot be solved with the help of 6 raditional" technologies."--Provided by publisher.

    Summary: This collection of essays illustrates the contribution of applied anthropology to the understanding of social problems resulting from the political, technological and economic upheavals of the 20th century. Cross-cultural examples, from both community-level case studies and macro-level policy analyses, are looked at from both the discipline's and the world perspective. Nielsen 9780813377346 20160528

    Isolated pancreatic islets obtained from spontaneously diabetic mice were recently shown to have a considerably reduced rate of insulin biosynthesis in response to glucose. This defect has now been further evaluated by in vitro measurements of the effects of glucose on the islet RNA metabolism. An increase of the glucose concentration from 3.3 mM to 16.7 mM more than doubled the incorporation of 3H-labelled uridine into the islet RNA in the normal mice. By contrast, no stimulation was observed in the diabetic mice. Electrophoretic separation, on polyacrylamide gels, of RNA from normal mouse islets indicated that glucose stimulated the incorporation mainly into RNA bigger than 4S. Furthermore the fraction of islet RNA which bound the poly (U) was stimulated in the normal mice but not in the diabetic animals. Taken together these findings indicate a deficient glucose regulation of the RNA metabolism in the diabetic mice which conforms to the previously reported low rate of insulin biosynthesis in response to glucose in these animals.
