human medicine
Are you interested in the anatomy of the human body? Are you looking for ways to improve your quality of life, or do you want to gain an understanding of illnesses and how to cure them? Then you will find the necessary foundation of knowledge here. Human medicine deals with the prevention, curation and palliation of human diseases. This science builds on basic knowledge of biology, physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics and sociology and is consolidated in sub-disciplines such as pharmacology, biometrics and pathophysiology. With the history of medicine as the basis of experience, it is summarized as one of the practice-oriented empirical sciences. Our range of subjects offers you tools, the latest knowledge and incentives for your studies and work. Feel free to contact us regarding a publication of your own work.
Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function over time and affects 10% of the population worldwide. One of the common treatment of kidney disease is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis removes waste products and excess fluid from the bloodstream. Intradialytic hypotensive episodes still represent the most frequent complication in dialysis treatments. One major reason that causes hypotensive episodes is the application of a non-adequate net fluid removal rate. This work presents the development of a physiological closed loop system, which...

Simulation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is based on the Bloch equation. Solving the Bloch equation numerically is not difficult, but realistic imaging experiments bear a high computational burden. In his dissertation, Cristoffer Cordes presents simulation methods that exploit hardware restrictions and the common structure of MRI sequences while not enforcing any approximations. These strategies use the reoccurrence of radiofrequency pulses, partial availability of analytical solutions, a reformulation of the problem in Fourier space and finally an inclusion of the...

Pharmacoepidemiological databases are a very useful tool, without which well-directed quality improvements and targeted risk management of adverse drug effects would not be possible. Data from such retrospective databases allow investigations into specific subpopulations - e.g., groups with specific diagnoses - thanks to their size and duration of observation. Regarding the quality of such data, it has been proven that carefully planned observational studies can produce results comparable to those of randomized controlled trials. This book presents eight epidemiological and...

The disease diabetes mellitus represents a major health and economic problem. In industrialized countries, the prevalence is estimated at 6-8%. In the present work, the care situation of patients with type 2 diabetes was analyzed using the patient database "Disease Analyzer" and 6 published studies were summarized. In addition to examining the validity of the database, the temporal development of the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and antidiabetic therapies was analyzed, the most important oral antidiabetic substance classes and insulin therapies...
