Metabolic Phenotyping in Personalized and Public Healthcare provides information on the widespread recognition that a personalized or stratified approach to patient treatment may offer a more efficient and effective healthcare solution than phenotype-led approaches.In order to achieve that objective, a deep personal description is required at the level of the genome, proteome, metabolome, or preferably a combination of these aided by technology. This book, edited and written by the outstanding luminaries of this evolving field, evaluates metabolic profiling and its uses across personalized and population healthcare, while also covering the advent of new technology fields, such as surgical metabonomics. In addition, the text presents specific examples of where this technology has been used clinically and with efficacy, pointing towards a framework and protocol for usage as it hits the clinical mainstream. - Translates the conjunction of new surgical tools for intraoperative, real-time, metabolite evaluation and direct analysis of biofluid samples into novel options for augmented clinical decision-making - Discusses longitudinal sampling from individual patients for stratified medicine - Covers high resolution analytical spectroscopy and sophisticated computational modelling for prediction of adverse reactions in critical care scenarios, prognostic evaluation of cancer from biofluidism, and prognostic prediction of metabolism or response of patients to pharmaceutical interventions - Encapsulates recent technology options for broader population profiling considerations, in particular, the metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) that aid the translational researcher in identifying metabolic patterns associated with disease - Foreword written by Professor Dame Sally Davies who is the Chief Medical Officer for England

Metabolomics: A Path Towards Personalized Medicine integrates environmental factors of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, providing a bridge to resolve gaps between fundamental science and applications in clinical medicine and population health. The concept of personalized medicine or precision medicine is of great interest in biomedical research as it helps bring about new drug discovery and biomarker identification. In addition, it helps clinicians prescribe the right medicine to the right person with maximum efficacy and minimum toxicity, allowing clinicians to further predict the susceptibility to disease onset of vulnerable populations.The book is ideally suited for researchers and postgraduate students who are interested in clinical and non-clinical studies where metabolites are used for the identification of disease and therapeutic targets. - Gives insights on the importance of personalized medicine in clinical and research environments - Provides the principles of metabolomics - Presents applications of metabolomics in biomarker identification and drug discovery

Metabolomics is an emerging omics science that is rapidly gaining momentum in biomedical research because of its high potential in providing crucial information about the mechanisms underlying different phenotypes. Beyond the Biomarkers: Metabolomic Phenotyping for the Future of Personalized Medicine aims to provide critical analysis of the current state of the art and future prospects on the use of metabolomic phenotyping and profiling as a promising tool for the screening and diagnosis of human diseases, as well as a starting point for building personalized medicine approaches. The first section of the book presents the practical basics of metabolomics analysis, from sample collection to data analysis, presenting the entire workflow of a metabolomics experiment. This is crucial for proper framing of the second section of the book, which describes in depth the results obtained and goals set by metabolomics in major fields of medicine. The book concludes the discussion with an explanation of the international regulatory framework a researcher must navigate in order to conduct a metabolomics study in the medical field. - Describes the basic principles of systems biology and the role of metabolomics - Explains the basic principles of metabolomics experimentation in terms of both experimental design and laboratory analysis - Details the main uses of metabolomics profiling for the diagnosis and prognosis of major human diseases and how it can be applied in the study of various diseases - Analyzes and outlines the European and US regulatory framework regarding the use of artificial intelligence technologies and in particular machine learning in public health

Celebrating 100 years of HEP, this volume will discuss key pharmacological discoveries and concepts of the past 100 years. These discoveries have dramatically changed the medical treatment paradigms of many diseases and these concepts have and will continue to shape discovery of new medicinies. Newly evolving technologies will similarly be discussed as they will shape the future of the pharmacology and, accordingly, medical therapy.
