It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that the application of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and lifestyle counseling as a part of the Nutrition Care Process is an integral component of the medical treatment for management of specific disease states and conditions and should be the initial step in the management of these situations. If optimal control cannot be achieved with ...

It has been suggested that an important transition in the long-run trajectory of nanotechnology development is a shift from passive to active nanostructures. Such a shift could present different or increased societal impacts and require new approaches for risk assessment. An active nanostructure "changes or evolves its state during its operation," according to the National Science Foundation's ...

Nanotechnology is increasingly being employed in the areas of food production and packaging. Public perception will be crucial to the realization of these technological advances. We examined how lay people (N=153) perceive nanotechnology foods and nanotechnology food packaging, and we examined the factors that influence willingness to buy these products. Participants received some general infor...

The already enormous health industry will continue to expand as baby boomers begin enter retirement. Pharmaceutical companies create new technologies in response patient expectations, given the size of customer base and increasing demand. As pharmaceuticals get more complex hazardous, distribution strategies are needed them correct areas body. a result, well-known pharmaceutical utilising cutti...

IJN's second year is now a part of nanomedicine history! Welcome to the second year of the International Journal of Nanomedicine! As our readers know, nanomedicine research worldwide is going strong. As an example, the US National Science Foundation forecasts that the global market for nanotech-nology-related products and services will reach US$1 trillion by 2015 (NSF 2007). Nanomedicine may be...
