Current healthcare in Bulgaria: time for predictive diagnostics and preventive medicine

Future of medicine: models in predictive diagnostics and personalized medicine.

Molecular medicine is undergoing fundamental changes driving the whole area towards a revolution in modern medicine. The breakthrough was generated the fast-developing technologies in molecular biology since the first draft sequence of the human genome was published. The technological advances enabled the analysis of biological samples from cells and organs to whole organisms in a depth that wa...

Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics

Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...

Preventive medicine: a "cure" for the healthcare crisis.

Personalized Cancer Medicine: Molecular Diagnostics, Predictive biomarkers, and Drug Resistance

The progressive elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of cancer has fueled the rational development of targeted drugs for patient populations stratified by genetic characteristics. Here we discuss general challenges relating to molecular diagnostics and describe predictive biomarkers for personalized cancer medicine. We also highlight resistance mechanisms for epidermal growth factor recept...

msJAMA. Genetics and preventive medicine: a time for inquiry.

ANYONE WHO HAS BROWSED THE HUMAN GENOME SEQUENCE CAN READILY appreciate its immense power and potential as well as its staggering complexity, and imperfection. Nevertheless, following its release, British Prime Minister Tony Blair declared, “Today we are witnessing a revolution in medical science whose impact can far surpass the discovery of antibiotics.” And just 5 days prior, fears about the ...
