Medical applications

Rapid Prototyping is a promising powerful technology that has the potential to revolutionise certain spheres in the ever changing and challenging field of medical science. The process involves building of prototypes or working models in relatively short time to help create and test various design features, ideas, concepts, functionality and in certain instances outcome and performance.

The evolution of technological advances in infrared sensor technology, image processing, “smart” algorithms, knowledge-based databases, and their overall system integration has resulted in new methods of research and use in medical infrared imaging. The development of infrared cameras with focal plane arrays not requiring cooling added a new dimension to this modality. New detector materials with improved thermal sensitivity are now available and production of high-density focal plane arrays (640×480) has been achieved.

The idea of this book originates from a series of lectures on “Detectors Application in Medicine and Biology” that I was asked to give as part of the Academic Training Program at CERN in 1995. In preparing the series of lectures, I realized that I would be talking about detector properties and the medical applications of these detectors to the scientists and engineers who were their inventors.

In recent years much attention has been paid to the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their important medical applications. The current study employs Fusarium oxysporum for the formation of silver nanoparticles and examines the antimicrobial activity of the particles against some multidrug-resistant (MDR) microbes.

Medicinal chemistry is a discipline at the intersection of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design, chemical synthesis and development for market of pharmaceutical agents (drugs). Compounds used in medical applications are most often organic compounds, which are often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules and biologics, the latter of which are most often medicinal preparations of proteins. Inorganic and organometallic compounds are also useful as drugs.

Rather than focusing on earlier treatments, based largely on the simplifications of geometrical acoustics, Physical Principles of Medical Ultrasonics examines concepts of wave acoustics, introducing them in the very first chapter. Practical implications of these concepts are explored, first the generation and nature of acoustic fields, and then their formal descriptions and measurement. Real tissues attenuate and scatter ultrasound in ways that have interesting relationships to their physical chemistry, and the book includes coverage of these topics.

Advances in our understanding of the molecular principles underlining both health and disease has revealed the existence of many regulatory polypeptides of significant medical potential. The fact that such polypeptides are produced naturally within the body only in minute quantities initially precluded their large-scale medical application. The development in the 1970s of the twin techniques of genetic engineering and hybridoma technology marked the birth of the modern biotech era.

Ten years after the publication of the first edition of Introduction to Medical Immunology, the ideal immunology textbook continues to be a very elusive target. The discipline continues to grow at a brisk pace, and the concepts tend to become obsolete as quickly as we put them in writing. It is very true of immunology that the more we know, the greater our ignorance. This represents the challenge that makes teaching immunology so exceptional and writing immunology textbooks such a daunting task.

Engineering is the integration of art and science and involves the use of systematic knowledge based on the principles of mathematics and the physical sciences to design and develop systems that have direct practical applicability for the benefit of mankind and society.With this philosophy in mind, the importance of the engineering sciences becomes obvious, and this is especially true for the biomedical aspects, where the implications are easily identifiable. Of all the engineering sciences, biomedical engineering is considered to be the broadest.

Smart polymers are macromolecules capable of undergoing rapid, reversible phase transitions from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic microstructure. These transitions are triggered by small shifts in the local environment, such as slight variations in temperature, pH, ionic strength, or the concentration of specific substances like sugars. Smart polymers have an extensive range of applications, but this book focuses solely on their roles within the fields of bioseparation and biomedicine. Until recently, polymers were considered to be passive participants within these fields.

I like playing around with words and letters. You probably know that LASER is an artificial word derived from “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. When starting my lecture on “Laser–Tissue Interactions” I tend to write this derivation on the board. I continue with “LIGHT: Lasers Irradiate Germinated and Healthy Tissues”. Why? Lasers cut everything, if appropriate laser parameters are selected. There is no shield around healthy tissue. And there is no laser that fits all sizes as some clothes do. Lasers never have been some kind of wonder instruments.

Applications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfabrication have spread to different fields of engineering and science in recent years. Perhaps the most exciting development in the application of MEMS technology has occurred in the biological and biomedical areas. In addition to key fluidic components, such as microvalves, pumps, and all kinds of novel sensors that can be used for biological and biomedical analysis and measurements, many other types of so-called micro total analysis systems (TAS) have been developed.

The Handbook of Bioinspired Algorithms and Applications seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers to explore the connection between biologically inspired (or bioinspired) techniques and the development of solutions to problems that arise in a variety of problem domains. The power of bioinspired paradigms lies in their capability in dealingwith complex problemswith little or no knowledge about the search space, and thus is particularly well suited to deal with a wide range of computationally intractable optimizations and decision-making applications....
