- Deep medicine : how artificial intelligence can make healthcare human again / by Topol, Eric J.,1954-author.(CARDINAL)766189;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-355) and index.Introduction to deep medicine -- Shallow medicine -- Medical diagnosis -- The skinny on deep learning -- Deep liabilities -- Doctors and patterns -- Clinicians without patterns -- Mental health -- AI and health systems -- Deep discovery -- Deep diet -- The virtual medical assistant -- Deep empathy.Medicine has become inhuman, to disastrous effect. The doctor-patient relationship--the heart of medicine--is broken: doctors are too distracted and overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical errors and misdiagnoses abound. In Deep Medicine, leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence can help. AI has the potential to transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly cutting down the cost of medicine and reducing human mortality. By freeing physicians from the tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for the real healing that takes place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard. Innovative, provocative, and hopeful, Deep Medicine shows us how the awesome power of AI can make medicine better, for all the humans involved.- Subjects: Artificial intelligence.; Medical informatics.; Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted.; Therapy, Computer-Assisted.; Quality Improvement.;

Before a bad fall or fracture renders you immobile, learn how to reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis, manage your day-to-day symptoms, and even treat the disease with the tools provided in Mayo Clinic Guide to Preventing & Treating Osteoporosis. Throughout your life, your bones are constantly rebuilding. But as you age, you run a greater risk of your new bone growth not being able to keep up with the old bone you’re losing. Osteopenia and osteoporosis develop when this imbalance makes bones weak and likely to break. A stooped posture, low-trauma fractures, and collapsed vertebrae are a few of the tell-tale signs associated with weakened and brittle bones. But fortunately, an osteoporosis diagnosis doesn’t have to be permanent. By taking the right steps, you can reduce your risk of future fractures, stop bone loss, and even rebuild your low bone density. In this book, Dr. Ann E. Kearns, a leading endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic, provides clear, practical information on the common causes of osteoporosis and osteopenia, simple ways to prevent bone loss with nutritious foods and supplements, and how to test for low bone mass before a fracture occurs. You will also learn tips for healthy eating and beneficial exercises, using modern medications to stop bone loss and encourage new bone growth, and how to quickly and safely recover from injuries sustained from low bone density. Together with your health care provider, you can take action to maintain strong bones and a full, healthy life.- Subjects: Osteoporosis; Aging.; Aging; Aging parents; Aging; Osteoporosis; Arthritis; Arthritis.; Osteoporosis in women; Arthritis; Arthritis; Nutrition.; Arthritis;
