Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering in Medicine, Physiology and Health Sciences is written by Dhanjoo N. Ghista and published by Academic Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0443301867 (ISBN 10) and 9780443301865 (ISBN 13).

Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering in Medicine, Physiology and Health Sciences is a visionary book, whose purpose is to demonstrate how fundamental mathematics and biomedical engineering can be incorporated into physiology, medicine, and health sciences teaching, research, and clinical practice to make these disciplines more quantitative and computational, and hence more explanatory and informative. The book also provides more quantitative formulation of medical procedures, towards supporting the growing field of precision medicine. The book comprises two categories of chapters: Category 1. Mathematical Systems, from Basic Calculus to Differential Equations, and their Applications in Physiology, Medicine, and Health Sciences. Category 2. Physiological, Medical, and Health Sciences, involving Mathematical and Biomedical Engineering Formulations. In Category 2, the book has chapters in the following sections: Section 1. Glucose-Insulin Regulatory System Physiology and Diabetes Diagnostics Section 2. Lung Ventilation Physiology and Ventilation Index for Lung disorders Section 3. Cardiovascular Physiology and Medicine Section 4. Spinal Engineering and Orthopedics Section 5. Renal Function Analysis and Dialysis Section 6. Neuronal Physiology and Engineering Section 7. Healthcare Management and Personalized Healthcare Category 1 chapters can enable medical students to learn how basic mathematics can be incorporated into physiology, medicine, and health sciences teaching, towards making these disciplines more quantitative and computational, and hence more explanatory and informative. Category 2 chapters can provide quantitative formulation of physiological systems, medical procedures, and health sciences towards meeting the new trend of precision medicine. Some advanced chapters can even be employed in the MD-PhD (Mathematics & Biomedical Engineering) Program. This fundamental book will thereby contribute to the transformation of medical schools, incorporating mathematics and physiology into teaching physiology, medicine, and health sciences.
