This book introduces various 3D printing systems, biomaterials, and cells for organ printing. In view of the latest applications of several 3D printing systems, their advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. A basic understanding of the entire spectrum of organ printing provides pragmatic insight into the mechanisms, methods, and applications of this discipline. Organ printing is being applied in the tissue engineering field with the purpose of developing tissue/organ constructs for the regeneration of both hard (bone, cartilage, osteochondral) and soft tissues (heart). There are other potential application areas including tissue/organ models, disease/cancer models, and models for physiology and pathology, where in vitro 3D multicellular structures developed by organ printing are valuable.

Regenerative biology and medicine is a rapidly developing field that can revolutionize medicine. It is a nexus of convergent science, drawing from chemistry, physics, mathematics and bioengineering. Foundations of Regenerative Biology and Medicine introduces the essentials of regenerative biology and medicine to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as students and professionals outside the field who need (and want) an introduction to the subject. This relatively short ten chapter book can be read in one semester and delivers the essential framework to understand the biological aspects of different mechanisms of regeneration and the therapeutic strategies that have emerged from this biology.

More than two million people were affected with multiple sclerosis (MS) worldwide in 2015 with rates varying widely in different regions and among different populations. This book explores the basics of MS, which is the most common immune-mediated disorder affecting the central nervous system. MS is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. The symptoms of MS will be covered in this book, in addition to active research topics, such as exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation training, combinational drug therapies, characterization of balance disorders and many more related topics.

This book looks at analysis and modelling of active biopotential signal processing. It emphasises the real-time challenges in biomedical signal processing that occur due to the complex and non-stationary nature of signals in a variety of applications for analysis, classification and identification of different states for improvement of healthcare systems. The main focus of the book is on modelling; acquisition of biomedical signals for different disorders; implementation of methodologies and their impact on different cases; case studies and research directions; automatic identification of related disorders; design and simulation examples; and issues and challenges. Overall, the book addresses the real-time challenges in biomedical signal processing used in a variety of applications such as analysis, classification and identification of different disorders in healthcare systems. It is a valuable guide for all researchers and practitioners who are engaged in studies and research in the area of biomedical signals and their applications.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the body's immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing debilitating side effects that last a lifetime for those affected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an established tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of MS due to its ability to depict the pathological features of the disease in high detail. Over the past few decades, developments in MRI applications, and MRI-based visualization of demyelinated CNS lesions have become pivotal to the diagnosis and monitoring of MS. In recent years, newer MR imaging technologies, including higher-field-strength MR units, have been developed to analyse the overall MS damage and highlight potential mechanisms of recovery in patients at different stages of the disease.

Biopotential signals are often used by physicians to measure the activities of organs and tissues in the human body. This book describes the sources and characteristics of different biopotential signals and provides an understanding of how a range of signals can be modelled and analysed. The resulting information can be used to assist in the identification of disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, PTSD and heart disease, among others. An emphasis is placed on the real challenges in biopotential signal processing due to the complex and non-stationary nature of signals. Following on from Volume 1, this book starts with a collection of chapters covering some of the latest developments in electroencephalography (EEG) signal analysis, then moves on to applications of electrocardiography (ECG) and Otoscope signals. The volume concludes with a discussion of other monitoring techniques. The chapters include biomedical examples and discussions of how each method can be used to study human organs. It is a valuable guide for all researchers and practitioners who are engaged in studies and research in the area of biomedical signals and their applications.

This book presents the latest achievements and research works of intraocular pressure measurement by the air-puff method presented by experts in the field. It is about tonometers, in particular using the air-puff method. These methods are used, for example, by the Corvis ST. Owing to the ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug camera, which records corneal deformation being the response to an air-puff. In this connection, this book is interdisciplinary in: new methods of image analysis and processing; new engineering methods used in devices; method reducing measurement (intraocular pressure) errors; the change in the blood pulsation phase during measurement affects the results in different ways; other IOP measurement methods (using the air-puff method); medical and engineering problems in air-puff method. This book is recommended reading for those involved in the analysis and processing of images and wanting to expand their knowledge of contemporary diagnostic methods and modern methods of image analysis.
