R for Basic Biostatistics in Medical Research


Free Download R for Basic Biostatistics in Medical Research
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819769795 | 315 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 24 MB
The scientific community at the global level is fast becoming aware of the rising use of open-source tools such as R and Python for data analysis. Unfortunately, in spite of the awareness, the conversion of the intrigue to the practical knowledge in utilization of the open-source tools for routine day-to-day data analysis is seriously lacking both among physicians and medical scientists. This book enables physician-scientists to understand the complexity of explaining a programming/ data-analytic language to a healthcare professional and medical scientist. It simplifies and explains how R can be used in medical projects and routine office works. It also talks about the methodologies to convert the knowledge to practice. The book starts with the introduction to the structure of R programming language in the initial chapters, followed with explanations of utilizing R in the basics of data analysis like data importing and exporting, operations on a data frame, parametric and non-parametric tests, regression, sample size calculation, survival analysis, receiver operator characteristic analysis (ROC) and techniques of randomization. Each chapter provides a brief introduction to the involved statistics, for example, dataset, working codes, and a section explaining the codes. In addition to it, a chapter has been dedicated to describing the ways to generate Descriptions using R. This book primarily targets health care professionals and medical/life-science researchers in general.

Pristina Medicamenta Ancient and Medieval Medical Botany


Free Download Jerry Stannard, "Pristina Medicamenta: Ancient and Medieval Medical Botany "
English | ISBN: 0860787737 | | 348 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Jerry Stannard assembled a legendary collection of materials on the history of botany from Homer to Linnaeus, and his mastery of the field was acknowledged as incomparable. However, his work was sadly cut short by his death, and so did not result in the ultimate synthesis he envisioned; the present volume, and its companion, Herbs and Herbalism in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, bring together his important output in articles and studies. In this selection of papers on pharmacy and medical botany, from the classical period to 1500, Stannard combined philological expertise with the scientific perspective of modern pharmacology to measure the descriptive accuracy and therapeutic efficacy of Materia Medica from Hippocrates to the Renaissance. His sources included not only the obvious technical treatises but also works of literature and the traditions of folklore especially in Italy. Three studies of the scholastic botany of Albertus Magnus form the centrepiece of the collection, and the detailed indexes cover both common and scientific names of plants.

Ancient and Moderns in the Medical Sciences


Free Download Roger French, "Ancient and Moderns in the Medical Sciences "
English | ISBN: 0860788342 | 2000 | 300 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 82 MB
The theme of this book is the growth of the European tradition of medical theory, from the early Middle Ages until its collapse in the seventeenth century. Central to this tradition were ancient texts and the respect accorded to the ancients themselves by the moderns, the teachers and practitioners of medicine of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The chapters examine how the ancient texts formed a resource for later medical men and how as a consequence they were sought out, translated and used. Three matters receive particular attention: the classroom culture by which the teachers perpetuated their pupil’s faith in the ancient texts; the use of learning and argumentation by which the university doctors secured their reputation; and medical astrology as a prognostic technique. The story ends when the faith that had been given to Aristotle and Galen, and which held the medical tradition together, was broken, partly by the new natural philosophy and partly by the discovery of the circulation of the blood.
