AI is about to transform medicine. Here's what you need to know right now. ''The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the personal computer. It will change the way people work, learn, and communicate--and transform healthcare. But it must be managed carefully to ensure its benefits outweigh the risks. I'm encouraged to see this early exploration of the opportunities and responsibilities of AI in medicine.''--Bill GatesJust months ago, millions of people were stunned by ChatGPT's amazing abilities -- and its bizarre hallucinations. But that was 2022. GPT-4 is now here: smarter, more accurate, with deeper technical knowledge. GPT-4 and its competitors and followers are on the verge of transforming medicine. But with lives on the line, you need to understand these technologies -- stat. What can they do? What can't they do -- yet? What shouldn't they ever do? To decide, experience the cutting edge for yourself. Join three insiders who've had months of early access to GPT-4 as they reveal its momentous potential -- to improve diagnoses, summarize patient visits, streamline processes, accelerate research, and much more. You'll see real GPT-4 dialogues -- unrehearsed and unfiltered, brilliant and blundering alike -- all annotated with invaluable context, candid commentary, real risk insights, and up-to-the-minute takeaways. Preview a day in the life of a doctor with a true AI assistant. See how AI can enhance doctor-patient encounters at the bedside and beyond. Learn how modern AI works, why it can fail, and how it can be tested to earn trust. Empower patients: improve access and equity, fill gaps in care, and support behavior change. Ask better questions and get better answers with "prompt engineering." Leverage AI to cut waste, uncover fraud, streamline reimbursement, and lower costs. Optimize clinical trials and accelerate cures with AI as a research collaborator. Find the right guardrails and gain crucial insights for regulators and policymakers. Sketch possible futures: What dreams may come next? There has never been technology like this. Whether you're a physician, patient, healthcare leader, payer, policymaker, or investor, AI will profoundly impact you -- and it might make the difference between life or death. Be informed, be ready, and take charge -- with this book.

The fascinating history of the railway between Nuneaton, Coventry and Leamington, illustrated through old and modern pictures.

An illustrated guide for undergraduate surgical students. Divided into 39 chapters by case scenario, each chapter provides information on investigation and diagnosis, postoperative care and underlying principles of surgical practice. The scenarios covered range from indigestion and weight loss to head injuries and motor vehicle accidents.

A thought-provoking compilation of young students' observations of society, Out on a Limb: From Vulnerability to Maturity will question your perspective and understanding of seemingly insignificant, everyday occurrences.

As the cities of the world increasingly come under threat from crisis and disaster, planners are searching for ways to build resilience into the foundations of modern urban centres.This important book provides a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of urban resilience in response to a range of disruptions, including terrorism, climate change and economic crises. It examines how the concepts and principles of resilience exert increasing significant influence over the form and function of planning. Discussing a 'politics of resilience' in which fundamental questions of social and spatial justice are posed, this book examines how urban planners are increasingly tasked with the responsibility of safeguarding the future of urbanised centres and those that live in them. Drawing on international examples and detailed case-studies, this book provides a nuanced account of the uses, and misuses, of resilience and points a way forward for planning activity, from an approach that is too often narrowly technical in focus towards an integrated and adaptable model for coping with risk, crisis and uncertainty. It will make essential reading for students of urban planning and researchers alike.

Well-traveled throughout China and well-published on its political, cultural, and business aspects, the editors of this unusual new book and their contributing authors give a systematic analysis of public sector management-as it is now and as it is emerging-in a country of massive size, now in retreat from a centrally planned economy.
