    Summary: This book looks at the growing segment of Internet of Things technology (IoT) known as Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), an automated system that aids in bridging the gap between isolated and rural communities and the critical healthcare services that are available in more populated and urban areas. Many technological aspects of IoMT are still being researched and developed, with the objective of minimizing the cost and improving the performance of the overall healthcare system. This book focuses on innovative IoMT methods and solutions being developed for use in the application of healthcare services, including post-surgery care, virtual home assistance, smart real-time patient monitoring, implantable sensors and cameras, and diagnosis and treatment planning. It also examines critical issues around the technology, such as security vulnerabilities, IoMT machine learning approaches, and medical data compression for lossless data transmission and archiving. Internet of Medical Things is a valuable reference for researchers, students, and postgraduates working in biomedical, electronics, and communications engineering, as well as practicing healthcare professionals. Provides an introduction to IoMT; Highlights innovative IoMT methods and solutions; Includes critical information on IoMT security vulnerabilities, machine learning approaches, and medical data compression.

    Chronic haemodialysis and renal transplantation are mutually supplementing methods for the treatment of patients with terminal renal lesion. The two methods have proved their worth in clinical practice. The expectance of life of patients with chronic renal insufficiency could essentially be improved during the last years. In last consequence the successes of the transplantation of kidneys depend on the solution of immunobiological problems, which are not yet cleared up nowadays. 1. In the determination of genotypical determinants possibly not all are known or recognizable. 2. The at present clinically usable examination methods do not yet allow to recognize rejections so early that by an aimed immunosuppressive treatment irreversible damages on the graft may be prevented. After a transplantation of kidneys of relatives a long survival time of transplanted patients is better than after a transplantation of kidneys taken from dead bodies. The rejection is still the main factor of the failure of the graft, the sepsis is the most frequent cause of death. It is neccessary, to develop less toxical remedies for the adaptation of the graft. Nevertheless, thousands of optimally transplanted patients prove the usefulness of the allogenic transplantation of the kidney.
