Teaching constitutes part of a psychiatrist's work. The essential determinants of best practice in psychiatric education as well as proven teaching methods are still lacking. The authors have presented the application of the Delphi technique to under- and postgraduate teaching programmes in diverse fields of medical knowledge. The Delphi method is based on systematic and anonymous refinement of...

Medical implants and prostheses (artificial hips, tendono- and ligament plasties) usually are multi-component systems that may be machined from one of three material classes: metals, plastics and ceramics. Typically, the body-sided bonding element is bone. The purpose of this contribution is to describe developments carried out to optimize the techniques, connecting prosthesis to bone, to be jo...

Since magnetic particles have unique features, the development of a variety of medical applications has been possible. The most unique feature of magnetic particles is their reaction to a magnetic force, and this feature has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting and bioseparation including cell sorting. Recently, magnetic nanoparticles have attracted attention because of their po...

Existing regulatory agency guidance documents and process standards for medical devices (i.e., IEC 62304) generally consider medical devices to be stand-alone monolithic systems. The format and content of a system requirements document largely follows that of conventional embedded safetycritical systems. However, a vision is emerging of a new paradigm of medical system based on the notion of a ...

over the last two decades, many researchers have developed a variety of stainless steel-based medical implant types,taking full advantage of nanostructuring technologies. in this paper the application, fabrication and development of nanostructured stainless steel based materials with new composition for medical implants will be discussed. it is well established that application of severe plasti...

Recently, the information processing approaches are increased. These methods can be used for several purposes: compressing, restoring, and information encoding. The raw data are less presented and are gradually replaced by others formats in terms of space or speed of access. This paper is interested in compression, precisely, the image compression using the Haar wavelets. The latter allows the ...

This article reviews some of the current writing on medical anthropology, and is guided by political orientation/ implication in the choice of its study targets, its analysis and its construction of solutions for the problems investigated. Starting from the narratives of anthropologists, it goes on to show the historical and socio-political bases characteristic of the subject in their countries...

In this paper various applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) in bio-medical field based upon their material properties are discussed, and a novel SMA spring actuator design for biopsy is proposed. Design parameters such as spring configuration, wire diameter required for designing the actuator were defined and obtained through experiments. Finally, itconcludeswith the possibility of using SM...

This review aimed to summarize the current research contents about long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and some related lncRNAs as molecular biomarkers or therapy strategies in human cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Following the development of various kinds of sequencing technologies, lncRNAs have become one of the most unknown areas that need to be explored. First, the definition and classificat...

Information on the Leukemia patients is very crucial by keep track medical history and to know the current status of the patient’s. This paper explains on development of Hematology Information System (HIS) in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). HIS is the web application, which is the enhancement of the standalone application system that used previously. The previous system lack of the i...
