The cross-disciplinary nature of bioinformatics entails co-evolution with other biomedical disciplines, whereby some bioinformatics applications become popular in certain disciplines and, in turn, these disciplines influence the focus of future bioinformatics development efforts. We observe here that the growth of computational approaches within various biomedical disciplines is not merely a re...

OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of the expansion in public access to electronic biomedical information over the past two decades, with an emphasis on developments to which the U.S. National Library of Medicine contributed. METHODS Review of the increasingly broad spectrum of web-accessible genomic data, biomedical literature, consumer health information, clinical trials data, and images. R...

the importance of nanotechnology in medical technologies, especially biomedical diagnostics, is indubitable. by taking advantages of nanomaterials, many medical diagnostics methods have been developed so far, including electrochemical nanobiosensors. they have been used for quantification of different clinical biomarkers for detecting, screening, or follow up a disease. micrornas (mirnas) are o...

introduction: graduate (phd) students in medical sciences, who will form future faculties and investigators in iran’s universities of medical sciences, are not trained on scientific writing during their training. the present study describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of principles of writing biomedical research paper course. methods: the course, prepared based on an extensive se...

CONTEXT Although training in basic science is generally considered a critical aspect of medical education, there is little consensus regarding its precise role in clinical reasoning. Whereas some reports suggest that biomedical knowledge is rarely used in routine diagnosis, other research has found that biomedical knowledge can become an integral part of the expert knowledge base. OBJECTIVE T...

There is a significant increase in the use of biomedical images in clinical medicine, disease research, and education. While the literature lists several successful methods that were developed and implemented for content-based image retrieval and recognition, they have been unable to make significant inroads in biomedical image recognition domain. The use of computer-aided diagnosis has been in...

The history of the publication of biomedical journals parallels the development of modern medicine in Iran. Modern medicine was introduced to Iran in the mid-nineteenth century, particularly after the establishment of the Dar al-Fonun School in 1851. The foundation of this collage of higher education was instrumental in further advancement of modern medicine together with the publication of med...
