The drugs which are used in the treatment of cancerous or malignant diseases are termed anti-cancer drugs. The different categories of anticancer drugs are antimetabolites, alkylating agents, hormones and natural products. There are some drugs which do not fall within these categories but exhibit anticancer properties. The selection of a particular anticancer drug to treat a cancer depends on various factors such as the severity of cancer, the location and the type of cancer. The side effects of the drug and whether radiation therapy or surgery can be used are also reasons which help in the determination of which drugs should be administered. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of anti-cancer drug discovery and how such concepts have practical applications. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

The usage of assessment and intervention in order to recover, maintain and develop meaningful activities of individuals or communities is termed as occupational therapy. People who suffer from disabilities, injuries and mental health ailments are treated under this branch of health care.

The field of mechanics which focuses on the study of the propagation of cracks in materials is referred as fracture mechanics. It comprises the analysis of flaws that is used to discover which structures are safe and which ones are liable to propagate as cracks and thereby, resulting in the failure of the flawed structure. Safe operation of a structure can be achieved through damage tolerance analysis. The two kinds of fracture mechanics are linear elastic fracture mechanics and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Linear elastic fracture mechanics covers the concepts of Griffith's criterion, Irwin's modification, stress intensity factor, strain energy release and crack tip plastic zone. Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics focuses upon the concepts of crack tip opening displacement (CTOD), R-curve, J-integral, cohesive zone model and transitions flaw size. This book will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. It studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of fracture mechanics and its utmost significance in modern times. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.

Optical coherence tomography is an imaging test which is non-invasive in nature, and makes use of light waves in order to take cross-section pictures of the retina. The different layers of the retina are visible through this technique. There are numerous eye conditions which can be diagnosed through optical coherence tomography. A few of them are glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and macular hole. The disorders of the optic nerve are also examined using this technique. The conditions which interfere with the passage of light through the eye cannot be diagnosed through optical coherence tomography, since it depends on light waves. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of optical coherence tomography. It strives to provide a fair idea about its clinical applications and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field.
