Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning in Precision Medicine and Liver Diseases: Concept, Technology, Application, and Perspectives combines four major applications of artificial intelligence (AI) within the field of clinical medicine specific to liver diseases: radiology imaging, electronic health records, pathology, and multiomics. The book provides a state-of-the-art summary of AI in precision medicine in hepatology, clarifying the concept and technology of AI and pointing to the current and future applications of AI within the field of hepatology. Coverage includes data preparation, methodology and application within disease-specific cases in fibrosis, viral and steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, acute liver failure, liver transplantation, and more. The ethical and legal issues of AI and future challenges and perspectives are also discussed. By highlighting many new AI applications which can further research, diagnosis, and treatment, this reference is the perfect resource for both practicing hepatologists and researchers focused on AI applications in medicine.

This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of HBV infection and liver disease. It discusses new data on basic and translational medicine, including the viral life cycle, the immunopathogenesis of virus-induced chronic hepatitis, viral and host genetic factors affecting disease progression, and the mechanism of virus-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, as well as their potential applications in daily clinical practice. The clinical aspects of chronic HBV infection are examined in chapters on the global epidemiology, efficacy of HBV vaccination, natural history, novel biomarkers, co-infections with HCV, HDV or HIV, and management of special populations including children, pregnant women and patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. Further, it describes the advances and perspectives in the development of novel antiviral treatments for possible functional cure of HBV infection.In this second edition, authors provides recent updates in epidemiology, biomarkers, antivirus therapy, and novel therapy for functional cure of chronic hepatitis B virus infection.The book is a valuable resource for medical students, physicians, and researchers who are interested in management of patients with chronic HBV infection and investigation HBV infection.
