This book presents a work in the upcoming field of WBAN (wireless Body Area Networks). Development of WBAN has opened new areas of research in fields of sensor network which has a wide range of applications such as health monitoring, military, portable audio and video systems, etc. WBAN is a sensor network that autonomously connects several sensors inside or outside a human body. The major problem in implementing such networks is threefold. Firstly, power consumption and area which are limited by the technology (limitation on minimum size and power consumption of transistors). Secondly,...

GERD is the most common gastrointestinal disease in the world affecting over 10-20% of the adult population. GERD is often perceived as a Western disease and very little literature available about this disease in the Asian population. With growing obesity and westernization in Asia, the prevalence of GERD is rapidly increasing. With growing morbidity and health care cost there is a significant need for understanding the disease from the Asian perspective. This book would fill the gap in the knowledge on GERD among Asians and will highlight the difference in terms of epidemiology, diagnosis...
