The Irish dental association: a centenary history / Eoin Kinsella & Frances Nolan
RK1 .I74 K56 2023Y
Eastwood Book 2023
“In this vital account of the Irish Dental Association, published to mark its centenary, Eoin Kinsella and Frances Nolan, explore the history of the Association and its influence on the dental profession and public health policy.
The history runs to over 60,000 words and features 60 pages of photographs from the last 100 years and beyond, tracing the evolution of its roots from 1887 when the Irish Branch of the British Dental Association was founded in Dublin to the establishment of the Irish Dental Association as an independent advocate for dentists in the Irish Free State.
The IDA traces its roots to 1887, when an Irish Branch of the British Dental Association was established in Dublin. Influenced by the seismic events of the Irish revolution, in early 1922 the Irish Branch made the decision to secede – on very amicable terms – to establish the Irish Dental Association as an independent advocate for dentists in the Irish Free State.
The centenary history offers a fascinating insight into the development of the profession over the past century and highlights many of the most prominent leaders of the profession as well as chronicling many significant changes within the Association and in the many ways the profession has battled state indifference. At the heart of this fast paced history are many fascinating stories and characters which will be of great interest to all who see that we must learn from history in order to plot the future.” From IDA website.

Biopolymers for Biomedical Applications / edited by Annu
Scrivener 2024
“The twenty chapters written by experts in the field of biopolymers and biomedical engineering, provide a complete resource that systematically discusses the most widely used biopolymers and their biomedical applications, and presents all the important research and developments that have occurred in the field.
In recent decades, significant progress has been made in polymer science for biomedical applications. The use of biopolymers specifically attracted the focus on the development of therapeutic polymeric systems. The exclusive features of biopolymers, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility make them highly sought after, and major research conducted with them has resulted in various therapeutic systems. However, until now only a few showed a potential to be appropriate for human use.
Each chapter covers a single biopolymer, its properties, and biomedical applications. The chapters are arranged systematically, with the most common biopolymers discussed early in the book to give more insight into the field. Further, a specific chapter is dedicated to the application of biopolymers for wound healing. Later, specific chapters are dedicated to the application of bioplastics and biopolymers for the development of medical devices and biosensors, respectively. Additionally, a chapter is dedicated to the application of biopolymers in the field of dentistry, with a special focus on their risk to human health. Keeping in mind recent advanced technologies, a chapter is dedicated solely to the latest progress of biopolymers in 3D and 4D printing for biomedical applications. The final chapter comprehensively explains the future perspectives of biopolymers in the biomedical field. ” From publisher's website.
Classic Papers and Pioneers in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery / edited by Shahid R. Aziz, Michael D. Turner
Springer 2024
“This unique title offers highlights of milestone – or "Classic" – papers in American oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as an engaging biography of the authors who were pioneers of the specialty. Written by a range of current leaders in the field, this fascinating book evolved from an exploration by the volume editors of what they considered to be the landmark papers contributing to the evolution of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the United States. Beyond the landmark paper itself, the editors were interested in the paper’s author as well -- their legacy and contribution to the specialty. As a result, each chapter author not only provides an informative overview and assessment of the classic paper and its impact on today’s oral and maxillofacial surgeon, but also provides a captivating biography of the person behind the paper, offering a valuable synthesis that adds important context to each paper. Because The Great War (World War 1) was a landmark period in the evolution of maxillofacial surgery, the editors organized the text into three sections – pre Great War, Great War, and post Great War.
A major contribution to the clinical literature, Classic Papers and Pioneers in Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery will serve many different purposes for readers: as a comprehensive reference in general, as a starting point for maxillofacial surgeons who wish to learn more about the foundations of what is performed currently, as a resource for students looking for inspiration, and for all readers interested in the history and development of surgery.” From publisher's website.
Responsible Artificial Intelligence Re-engineering the Global Public Health Ecosystem: A Humanity Worth Saving / by Dominique J. Monlezun
Elsevier 2024
“Responsible Artificial Intelligence Re-engineering the Global Public Health Ecosystem: A Humanity Worth Saving is the first comprehensive book showing how trustworthy AI can revolutionize decolonized global public health. It explains how it works as an ecosystem and how it can be fixed to equitably empower us all to solve the defining crises of our era, from poverty to pandemics, climate to conflicts, debt to divisions. It is written from the first-hand perspective of the world’s first triple doctorate trained physician-data scientist and ethicist who has cared for more than 10,000 patients and authored 5 AI textbooks and more than 400 scientific and ethics papers. This essential resource integrates science, political economics, and ethics to unite our unique cultures, belief systems, institutions, and governments. In doing so, it is meant to give humanity a fighting chance against shared existential threats through cooperation and managed strategic competition for integral sustainable development.
Taking seriously diverse voices, perspectives, and insights from the Global North and the Global South, this book uses concrete examples backed up by clear explanations to elucidate the current failures, emerging successes, and societal trends of global public health. It shows how a small number of powerful governments and corporations—amid digitalization, deglobalization, and demographic shifts—dominate global health, and how we can re-engineer a better future for it both societally and technologically. The book spans health breakthroughs in federated data architectures, machine learning, deep learning, swarm learning, quantum computing, blockchain, agile data governance and solidarity, value blocks (of democracies and autocracies), adaptive value supply chains, social networks, pandemics, health financing, universal health coverage, public–private partnerships, healthcare system design, precision agriculture, clean energy, human security, and multicultural global ethics. This book therefore is meant to provide a clear, coherent, and actionable guide equipping students, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and leaders in digital technology, public health, healthcare, health policy, public policy, political economics, and ethics to generate the solutions that will define humanity’s next era—while recovering what that humanity means, and why it is worth saving.” From publisher's website.
