The worldwide impact of HIV/AIDS is well recognized. This book provides for the first time a thorough and critical overview of current aspects, recent developments, and trends in the formulation and drug delivery concerning anti-HIV microbicides by leading scientists in the field. Additionally, pertinent regulatory aspects and socioeconomical issues related to the subject are discussed. In the absence of a cure, prophylaxis represents a cornerstone in the battle against infection. One promising strategy comprises the use around the time of sexual intercourse of vaginal/rectal products containing antiviral compounds, termed microbicides. It is now recognized that specific development of drug ...
Case Studies in Mathematical Modelling for Medical Devices: How Pulse Oximeters and Doppler Ultrasound Fetal Heart Rate Monitors Work focuses on two medical devices: pulse oximeters and Doppler ultrasound fetal heart rate monitors. The mathematical topics needed to explain their operation from first principles are introduced. These broadly cover the statistics of random processes and Fourier based signal processing. They are used to explain the devices' operation from first principles to how clinically relevant information is extracted from the devices' raw outputs. .The book is for MSc and PhD students working in the area who want a quick, clear introduction to the topics, upper-division un...
