Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine: A Comprehensive Guide to the Future of Biomedicine

Since the publication of the third edition, the field of gender-specific medicine has witnessed significant advancements. The fourth edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine delves into the latest developments in biomedicine, integrating technology into disease treatment and human function augmentation. This edition introduces novel topics such as the sex-specific aspects of space medicine, the development and use of genderized robots, and a discussion on cyborgs, providing a glimpse into the expanding world of sex-specific physiology and therapeutics.

Epigenetics and Gene Expression

Twenty years into the postgenomic era, the investigation of how the genome produces the phenome has led to fascinating insights and unanswered questions. The fourth edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine focuses on the role of epigenetics in regulating gene expression in a dynamic, sex-specific manner during human life. It explores the protean role of epigenetics in human physiology, the relevance of environmental experience to human function, and the therapeutic promise of cutting-edge methodologies like gene manipulation.

Space Travel and Human Augmentation

The book discusses the preparation of humans for space travel, the use of artificial intelligence in detection and therapeutic decisions concerning disease states, and the possibilities for technological support of not only compromised individuals but also the augmentation of human function. It provides an analysis of the benefits, limitations, and issues that surround our current expectations of personalized medicine.

Personalized Medicine and Genetic Editing

Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine covers the most important developments in biomedical research in the past decade, with a thoughtful analysis of how they impact patient care. It discusses the feasibility and usefulness of personalized medicine, the limits and promise of genetic editing, the basis for variation in sexual identity, and how artificial intelligence and technology will affect basic human function as well as correcting disability.

Ethics and Governance

The book promotes and facilitates discussions about the ethics and governance issues that surround much of what science is now able to do at the most basic levels of human physiology. It encourages readers to engage in thoughtful consideration of the implications of these advancements on human health and society.

Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine, Fourth Edition, is a comprehensive guide to the future of biomedicine, providing insights into the latest research, technologies, and ethical considerations. It serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students seeking to understand the evolving landscape of gender-specific medicine and its potential to revolutionize human health.
