Inner Ear Malformations usually have intricate and overlapping imaging findings, making evaluation of such a case difficult. Various authors have attempted to classify this complex group of anomalies, but the most prevalent and widely accepted classification was proposed by Sennaroglu et al, year. Sennaroglu, after extensively researching on the subject, proposed his own classification. The classification is based on embryogenesis of the inner ear and closely correlated with the most effective treatment. u2022tThe (CHN) most comprehensive Sennaroglu classification, based on embryogenesis has been used, dividing the malformations to Labyrinthine Aplasia, Rudimentary Otocyst, Common Cavity Morphology, Cochlear Aplasia with/without Dilated Vestibule, Cochlear hypoplasia (further 4 types), Incomplete Partition (further 4 types), Enlarged vestibular aqueduct and Cochlear Aperture Abnormalities. Lateral semicircular canal abnormalities are also seen, of which usually the lateral SCC in seen in isolation as it is last to be formed.Except for the most severe anomalies, (total aplasia of cochlea or 8th nerve) cochlear implant is the only way for some of these children to lead a meaningful life.However, such a surgical procedure not only requires exquisite expertise to perform but is also associated with post-operative complications like CSF gusher and infections.Cross sectional imaging assessment is pre-requisite for pre-operative evaluation of a case of pediatric SNHL case to determine suitability for cochlear implantation.

Unique case-based guide to generating diagnostic possibilities based on the patients' symptoms. Invaluable for psychiatrists and neurologists.

Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare is more than a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence as a tool in the generation and analysis of healthcare data. The book is split into two sections where the first section describes the current healthcare challenges and the rise of AI in this arena. The ten following chapters are written by specialists in each area, covering the whole healthcare ecosystem. First, the AI applications in drug design and drug development are presented followed by its applications in the field of cancer diagnostics, treatment and medical imaging. Subsequently, the application of AI in medical devices and surgery are covered as well as remote patient monitoring. Finally, the book dives into the topics of security, privacy, information sharing, health insurances and legal aspects of AI in healthcare. - Highlights different data techniques in healthcare data analysis, including machine learning and data mining - Illustrates different applications and challenges across the design, implementation and management of intelligent systems and healthcare data networks - Includes applications and case studies across all areas of AI in healthcare data
