On the Fractal Language of Medicine
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-79965-0 (ISBN)
On the Fractal Language of Medicine bridges a very clear gap among the knowledge gained over the last 20 years in the physical and life sciences on network theory, organ synchronicity and communication, the understanding of fractal signatures in health and disease and the importance of fractional calculus in integrating these concepts.
The authors opine that the field of medicine has not appreciated this hard-won knowledge and has suffered greatly as a result. This book addresses this perceived deficiency by introducing medical researchers, clinicians, residents, first-year medical students and members of allied fields to the work of the so-called hard sciences. It seeks to facilitate effective communication between empiricists and theorists by making interdisciplinary efforts to explain complex mathematical concepts to physicians and, equally important, to elucidate complex medical concepts to physicists or mathematicians.
This book will be of great interest to medical students, professionals and academics, as well as students and researchers of applied mathematics, especially those interested in fractional calculus and fractals.
Bruce J. West is a visiting professor at the Center for Studies of Nonlinear Science, which he founded in 1994 at the University of North Texas, and the Department of Research and Innovation at North Carolina State University. Fractal calculus and non-invasive methods of rehabilitation have been prominent themes in his recent research and publications. W. Alan C. Mutch is a retired professor from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, and an academic neuro anesthesiologist. He is the original developer of fractal life support devices, such as the biologically variable ventilator and cardiopulmonary bypass pump, and he has published extensively in this field.
