People in general are concerned about the health of themselves and their families, but they lack reliable access to health knowledge. In order to ensure that people get accurate medical knowledge, dissemination of such knowledge by medical professionals is advocated. This is the basis of medical communication. This book covers the theoretical model of medical communication, explains the differences from medical science popularization and health communication, and from the perspective of medical practice, provides many examples to illustrate the practical application and significance of medical communication. It is hoped that this book will attract more people to join the team of medical communicators, pass the correct medical knowledge to the public, and ultimately the incidence and mortality of diseases can be reduced and the health level of people improved.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li><b><i>Generality:</i></b><ul><li>Definition and Characteristics of Medical Communication</li><li>Basic Model of Medical Communication</li></ul></li><li><b><i>Doctor-Patient Communication: Medical Communication in the Clinic:</i></b><ul><li>Basic Models and Characteristics of Doctor-Patient Communication</li><li>Principles and Skills of Doctor-Patient Communication</li><li>Challenges and Countermeasures of Doctor-Patient Communication in the New Period</li></ul></li><li><b><i>Medical Communication for Specific Populations:</i></b><ul><li>Health Education, Health Promotion, and Health Management</li><li>Health Education, Health Promotion, and Health Management Process</li><li>Cases of Medical Communication to Specific Populations: A Case Study of Osteoporosis</li></ul></li><li><b><i>Medical Communication for the General Public:</i></b><ul><li>Medical Communication for the General Public</li><li>Science Popularization Principles and Skills of Doctors, Nurses, and Technicians</li></ul></li><li><b><i>Practice:</i></b><ul><li>Medical Communication Practice — Taking 'Da Yi Xiao Hu' Medical Communication Think Tank as an Example</li><li>Medical Communication Scenarios in Different Contexts</li><li>Exploration of Innovative Medical Communication</li></ul></li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Medical staff, medical students, public health officials, commmunications specialists.Medical Communication;Health Communication;Medical Model;Doctor-Patient Communication;Doctor-Patient Relationship;Health Education;Health Promotion;Health Management;Healthy Behavior Model0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Provides theories and practical examples for medical and communication scholars</li></ul>
The market changes faster than marketing. In essence, marketing strategy has undergone only two eras, the entity era and the bit era, also known as the industrial age and the digital age. In the age of digital society, all CEOs, CMOs and senior marketing executives must consider how to change their strategies, improve the role of marketing and adopt emerging technological and data tools to integrate with the Internet. The goal of digital marketing strategy is not to disrupt existing marketing strategies, but to complement, integrate and develop the two at the same time.In this book, the authors provide detailed discussion and practical analysis on the relationship between marketing and digital technologies and propose a marketing implementation framework for digital strategy platforms. Standing for Recognize, Reach, Relationship and Return, the 4R system is a powerful strategic trading tool for digital implementation, especially for CEOs and CMOs. All other tools, such as data platforms, content marketing, DSP digital advertising and digital marketing ROI design essentially serve the 4R system. As such, the authors advocate for firms to restructure their digital marketing strategy around the 4R system.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Marketing Environment in the Digital Transformation</li><li>Upgrading Digital Marketing Strategy: Strategic Platform for Digital Marketing</li><li>Recognize in the 4Rs: Digital Profiling and Recognition of Consumers</li><li>Reach in the 4Rs: Coverage and Arrival of Digital Information</li><li>Relationship in the 4Rs: Establishing a Basis for Continuous Relationship</li><li>Return in the 4Rs: Making Deals and Profits</li><li>Big Data Marketing Platforms: Applications of Big Data in Marketing</li><li>Content Strategy of Digital Marketing</li><li>Organizational Platform for Digital Marketing</li><li>Management and Measurement of the Performance of Digital Marketing</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> CEOs, CMOs, entrepreneurs and senior executives.Marketing;Strategy;Digital Era;4R;Recognize;Reach;Relationship;Return;Digital Transformation;Data;Technology;Growth;Kotler;Tiger Cao;Sam Wang;Collen Qiao0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>In «digital society», all CEOs and senior marketing executives are faced with how to change strategies, improve the role of marketing and adopt emerging technological and data tools to integrate with the Internet</li><li>Authors tried to answer those questions and perceive what has changed and «what remains unchanged» in digital marketing</li><li>Rolling out digital strategy is not to disrupt existing marketing strategies, but to complement, integrate, and develop the two at the same time</li><li>The writers provide detailed discussion and practical analysis on whether marketing should serve digital technologies or vice versa in the digital age</li></ul>
Coronavirus, AIDS, and Ebola: Viruses are normally defined as pathogens. Most viruses are, however, not enemies or killers. Well-known virologist and cancer researcher Karin Moelling describes surprising insights about a completely new and unexpected world of viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous, in the oceans, our environment, in animals, plants, bacteria, in our body, even in our genomes. They influence our weather, can contribute to control obesity, and can surprisingly be applied against threatening multi-resistant bacteria. The success story of the viruses started more than 3.5 billion years ago in the dawn of life when even cells did not exist. They are the superpower of life. There are more viruses on earth than stars in the sky. Viruses are everywhere. Some of them are incredibly ancient. Many viruses are hundredfold smaller than bacteria, but others are tenfold bigger and they were discovered only recently — the giant viruses, even deep within the permafrost where they were reactivated after 30,000 years.The author talks about a completely new world of viruses, which are based on the most recent, in part her own research results. Could viruses have been our oldest ancestors? Have viruses even 'invented' social behavior, do they lead to geniuses such as Mozart or Einstein — or alternatively to cancer? They can help to cure cancer. In this book, the author made a clear distinction between what is fact and what is her vision. This book is written for a general audience and not just for the experts. Its aim is to stimulate thinking, and perhaps to attract more young scientists to enter this field of research.This revised edition is brought up to date by a new chapter on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. <b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>SARS-Coronavirus-2 Pandemic</li><li>Viruses — Not as You Pictured Them</li><li>Viruses — How They Make Us Ill</li><li>Retroviruses and Immortality</li><li>Viruses and Cancer</li><li>Viruses That Do Not Make Us Ill</li><li>Viruses — 'Giant' as Cells</li><li>Viruses as Fossils</li><li>Viruses — Our Oldest Ancestors?</li><li>Viruses and Antiviral Defense</li><li>Viruses and Phages for Survival?</li><li>Viruses for Gene Therapy</li><li>Viruses and the Future</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> All.Genome;Retrovirus;Gene Therapy;HIV;Viruses and Cancer;SARS-CoV-2;COVID-19 Pandemic00
This book aims to fill the gap between panel data econometrics textbooks, and the latest development on 'big data', especially large-dimensional panel data econometrics. It introduces important research questions in large panels, including testing for cross-sectional dependence, estimation of factor-augmented panel data models, structural breaks in panels and group patterns in panels. To tackle these high dimensional issues, some techniques used in Machine Learning approaches are also illustrated. Moreover, the Monte Carlo experiments, and empirical examples are also utilised to show how to implement these new inference methods. Large-Dimensional Panel Data Econometrics: Testing, Estimation and Structural Changes also introduces new research questions and results in recent literature in this field.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Preface</li><li>About the Authors</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Tests for Cross-Sectional Dependence in Fixed Effects Panel Data Models</li><li>Factor Augmented Panel Data Regression Models</li><li>Structural Changes in Panel Data Models</li><li>Latent-Grouped Structure in Panel Data Models</li><li>Bibliography</li><li>Index</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Targeted readers include advanced undergraduates and PhD students and researchers in economics, statistics and business subjects.

The book's inherent value, currently, is in its uniqueness. There are few books on Integrative Oncology (IO). There are few books on the entirety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer. There are even fewer, if any, books that deal with the topics of Integrative Oncology and the use of traditional Chinese medicine as a whole in the treatment of people with cancer. While very broad and deep topics, this makes for a varied audience of interest that includes not just the TCM practitioner or student, but Western health practitioners and patients as well as laypeople interested in the topic of oncology.For those interested in the topic of IO, it gives one of the few non-biased, honest and critical views of the state of IO in contrast to what is promoted by various institutions and societies.For the Western health practitioner and/or patient, many of whom are completely unfamiliar with TCM and how it works or can be used, it provides information on the breadth of TCM and how it can be applied in various ways to help improve outcomes.For the TCM practitioner or student, it provides much needed information on how to go about caring for a patient with cancer to include clinical pearls and important Western medical information and terminology.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Prologue</li><li>Foreword</li><li>Introduction</li><li>What is Integrative Oncology?</li><li>History of Oncology through Western and Chinese Medicine</li><li>Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Acupuncture</li><li>Moxibustion Therapy</li><li>Chinese Herbal Medicine</li><li>Manual Therapy</li><li>Chinese Nutrition and Dietary Therapy</li><li>Eight Extraordinary Meridians</li><li>Therapeutic Exercise</li><li>Case Studies</li><li>Bridging the Gap</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> TCM practitioners, TCM students, Western health practitioners and patients, laypeople interested in the topic of oncology.Cancer;Oncology;Integrative Oncology;Acupuncture;Traditional Chinese Medicine;Herbal Medicine;Moxibustion;Collaborative Cancer Care;Integrative Medicine0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Unique: specific book on integrative oncology and how the full scope of TCM can be used in the treatment of patients with cancer in therapeutic settings designed to be informative for the general reader or healthcare practitioner, approachable for the new TCM doctor/practitioner, and informative for the established TCM physician seeking broader knowledge base on the subject of IO and Chinese medicine</li><li>The topic of Integrative Oncology is rapidly evolving with few other significant competing works, particularly for the field of Chinese medicine</li><li>Patients with cancer are seeking complementary therapies and TCM is one of the first avenues of support.
