Nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. Importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. The most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. However monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...

Pourquoi un nouveau journal médical? Pourquoi spé-cialement ce nouveau journal? Quelles sont ses ambitions? Quel public peut-il toucher? Des spécialistes, des généralistes ou les deux à la fois? Il se veut être un lien entre la communauté scientifique internationale, plus particulièrement dans les domaines de la science du vivant et leur application technologique. Il y a incontestablement un es...

Chapter Overview Given the amount of literature relevant to many of the areas of biomedicine, researchers are forced to use methods other than simply reading all the literature on a topic. Necessarily one must fall back on some kind of search engine. While the Google PageRank algorithm works well for finding popular web sites, it seems clear one must take a different approach in searching for i...

On May 23, 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved pembrolizumab for the treatment of any solid tumors with certain specific genetic features or biomarkers, namely microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR). This was the first time that the FDA approved a cancer treatment based on a common biomarker, rather than the organ site or histology. Pemb...

Since the early 1990s, artificial neural networks play an increasing role in the development of new biomedical systems. In United States, over last decades, the granted biomedical patents that explicitly refer to artificial neural networks in their title, abstract or key references amount to about 50% of the total number of granted biomedical patents with a significant element of computational ...

Over the past two decades, public interest in the basic biological processes underlying the phenomenon of ageing has grown considerably. New developments in biotechnology and health maintenance programmes appear to be forging new relationships between biology, medicine and the lives of older people. A number of social scientists describe the process as the ‘biomedicalization of aging’. In this ...
