Sommario/riassunto

This book describes various novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. It also highlights recent advances in understanding the role of molecular markers and biomarkers, such as volatile biomarkers, serum biomarkers, predictive and prognostic molecular markers for the early detection of GI cancers. Further, it discusses novel biomarkers, including circulating microRNAs, serum microRNA and plasma microRNA in GI cancer. The book presents breakthrough technologies like ultra-sensitive nano-chips, nanosensors, nanodevices, biosensors, electrochemical biosensors, optical biosensors, DNA biosensors, synthetic biology devices, and 'omics' technologies for the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer. In addition it examines the potential of genome-wide association studies, big data analytics, computation biology, systems biology, and nanotechnology for early diagnostics and therapeutics for gastrointestinal cancer, with a focus on personalized cancer treatment. The book is a valuable source for researchers and clinicians engaged in detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers.

Chapter 1. Mobile Healthcare -- Chapter 2. Physical Activity -- Chapter 3. Ex-vivo Biosignitures.

Sommario/riassunto

This book reviews existing sensor technologies that are now being coupled with computational intelligence for the remote monitoring of physical activity and ex vivo biosignatures. In today’s frenetic world, consumers are becoming ever more demanding: they want to control every aspect of their lives and look for options specifically tailored to their individual needs. In many cases, suppliers are catering to these new demands; as a result, clothing, food, social media, fitness and banking services are all being democratised to the individual. Healthcare provision has finally caught up to this trend and is currently being rebooted to offer personalised solutions, while simultaneously creating a more effective, scalable and cost-effective system for all. The desire for personalisation, home monitoring and treatment, and



provision of care in remote locations or in emerging and impoverished nations that lack a fixed infrastructure, is leading to the realisation that mobile technology might be the best candidate for achieving these goals. A combination of several technological, healthcare and financial factors are driving this trend to create a new healthcare model that stresses preventative ‘health-care’ rather than ‘sick-care’, and a shift from volume to value. Mobile healthcare (mhealth), which could also be termed the “internet of people”, refers to the integration of sensors and smartphones to gather and interpret clinical data from patients in real-time. Most importantly, with an ageing population suffering multiple morbidities, mhealth could provide healthcare solutions to enhance chronically ill patients’ quality of life.

Sommario/riassunto

Lipases are triacylglycerol acylhydrolases that catalyse the hydrolysis of triglycerides to release concomitant free fatty acids and glycerol. Lipases are versatile enzymes with multiplexity of catalysis and therefore, constitute an important class of industrial enzymes of recent interests in basic and applied research. This book serves as a handbook



for researchers in the Life Sciences and particularly for those who plan to investigate microbial lipases. It is also aimed to provide an updated and comprehensive review of laboratory activities on lipases, in particular from the microbial sources, thereupon, to impart good scientific perceptions to the reader in this discipline. The production characteristics are fundamental for manipulation of maximal enzyme titres. Considerable importance is also necessitated to gain genetically modified strains to enable enormous availability of the recombinant lipases for structural elucidations. Detailed descriptions on the isolation methods, production requirements, protein investigations and molecular cloning of the microbial lipases are presented. Bioinformatics approaches are also specifically discussed. Furthermore, lipase as a biocatalyst candidate is specifically included to target the application prospects of the lipase. Experimental protocols are presented for bench work practice. An appendix section is supplemented with significant data for the researcher as a reference tool for their routine laboratory investigations.
