This book describes the tools, developed by the author, for perturbing endogenous mechano-sensitive ion channels for magneto-mechanical neuro-modulation. He explores the ways in which these tools compare against existing ones such as electricity, chemicals, optogenetics, and techniques like thermos/magneto-genetics. The author also reports on two platforms—magnetic ratcheting and magnetic microfluidics for directed evolution and high throughput culture of magnetotactic bacteria—that produce high quality magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications like neural stimulations. This thesis was submitted to and approved by the University of California, Los Angeles. Introduces technology for non-invasive control of neural activities that offer deep tissue penetration and controllable dosage; Examines the effects of biomechanical forces on cellular functions; Explores how to improve the reproducibility and uptake of magnetic tools for non-invasive neural modulation.

In Silico Approach Towards Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia in Cancer Treatment: Modeling and Simulation presents mathematical modeling and simulation approaches contrary to costly and time consuming in-vivo and in-vitro studies. Finite element method-based models of all hyperthermia processes of liver, brain and breast tumors are simulated on COMSOL Multiphysics software. Problems of constant versus variable heat sources, the backflow problem, the enhanced permeation and retention effect, the flow around Happel's sphere in cells model structure, the deformation effect in poroelastic brain tumor, 3D flow through porous tissue, the reacting nanofluid flows, and optimization of parameters have been simulated for quantitative analysis. This important reference aids in hyperthermia treatment planning in clinical applications and provides an important compendium for practitioners as well as non-medical practicing scientists and engineers and is resource for both research and medical practice in hyperthermia treatment planning in clinical applications. Includes the diversities of cancer treatment modalities for their eradication with minimum damage to surrounding normal tissue Addresses tumors of different organs including liver, brain and breast Deals with mathematical modeling and simulation approaches contrary to costly and time consuming in-vivo and in-vitro studies Provides insights on how to use hyperthermia in cancer treatments in addition to other conventional types of treatments.

"Febrile seizures are the most common seizures in infants and children worldwide, This fact provides strong impetus to study and understand them and their consequences, and consider their treatment. These topics were the focus of the first edition of this book. The 20 years since the publication of this first edition have witnessed an explosion of new information about febrile seizures, meriting this new edition. Key advances have been made in the genetics and neurobiological underpinnings of febrile seizures and especially the very long fever-related seizures called febrile status epilepticus. The role of neuroinflammatory factors in the emergence of these seizures and their consequences, the demonstration of unique clinical and neuroradiological aspects of febrile status epilepticus, and the prospect of predictive (bio)markers to identify and characterize cognitive and epilepsy outcomes are exciting and important. In this edition, the authors and editors tackle these developments in chapters addressing the questions of parents, physicians, allied health care professionals and basic and translational scientists."--

The road of acceptance of oncologic thermotherapy/hyperthermia as a synergistic modality in combination with standard oncologic therapies is still bumpy. This is partially due to the lack of level I evidence from international, multicentric, randomized clinical trials including large patient numbers and a long term follow-up. Therefore we need more level I EVIDENCE from clinical trials, we need HARMONISATION and global acceptance for existing technologies and a common language understood by all stakeholders and we need INNOVATION in the fields of biology, clinics and technology to move thermotherapy/hyperthermia forward. This is the main focus of this reprint. In this reprintyou find carefully selected and peer-reviewed contributions from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. The published papers from leading scientists from all over the world covering a broad range of timely research topics might also help to strengthen thermotherapy on a global level.
