serious concerns have been expressed about potential health risks of nano silver containing consumer products (agnps) therefore regulatory health risk assessment on such nanoparticles has become mandatory for the safe use of agnpsinbiomedicalproducts with special concerns to the mutagenic potentials. in this study, we examined the inhibitory and mutagenicity effects of agnps in three different ...

background: the increased recognition of ethical problems has contributed to the resurgence of ethics in relation to health care, and to the emergence of medical ethics as a new collaborative discipline in the world. the growing trends in biomedical technologies have been associated with increasing discussions about ethical aspects of the new knowledge in different societies. advances in geneti...

It is challenging for biomedical engineering programs to incorporate an indepth study of the systemic interdependence of cells, tissues, and organs into the rigorous mathematical curriculum that is the cornerstone of engineering education. To be sure, many biomedical engineering programs require their students to enroll in anatomy and physiology courses. Often, however, these courses tend to pr...

As biomedical research expands this understanding, medicine is expected to change (or to continue changing): hopefully, medical practice will soon become more predictive and preventive, and available treatments will be more selective (and ultimately specific). It is envisioned that linking genome-wide genetic information with disease predisposition will allow predictions of which disease(s) one...

Immunology has contributed to biomedical education in many important ways since the creation of scientific medicine in the last quarter of the 19th century. Today, immunology is a major area of biomedical research. Nevertheless, there are many basic problems unresolved in immunological activities and phenomena. Solving these problems is probably necessary to devise predictable and safe ways to ...

The AMIA biomedical informatics (BMI) core competencies have been designed to support and guide graduate education in BMI, the core scientific discipline underlying the breadth of the field's research, practice, and education. The core definition of BMI adopted by AMIA specifies that BMI is 'the interdisciplinary field that studies and pursues the effective uses of biomedical data, information,...
