Developing a large-scale biomedical multimedia software system is always a challenging task: Satisfaction of sundry and stringent biomedical multimedia related requirements and standards; Heterogeneous software deployment and communication environments; and tangling correlation between data/contents and software functionalities, among others. This paper introduces a novel biomedical multimedia ...

in the present work, the effect of ca(no3)2.4h2o and (nh4)2hpo4 primary solutions as the beginning materials in synthesis of a calcium phosphate phase, was examined. so, we investigated the wet chemical reactions in solution at different temperatures by a hydrothermal condition aimed at hydroxyapatite (ca10(po4)6(oh)2); (hap) synthesis. the powders were investigated by xrd,sem, fe-tem, hrtem, e...

The imperative to improve patient safety is clear. Biomedical scientists, who account for a large proportion of medical school faculty, and clinicians tend to speak different languages. Biological systems are remarkable for their high robustness, flexibility, and efficiency. Biomedical scientists possess a profound understanding of the complex mechanisms that govern organisms. Their insights ma...

This article describes efforts at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2013 to 2016 to train a national workforce in biomedical data science. We provide an analysis of the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) training program strengths and weaknesses with an eye toward future directions aimed at any funder and potential funding recipient worldwide. The focus is on extramurally funded programs t...

OBJECTIVE To report on IMIA, the International Medical Informatics Association, and on what has been achieved in the period 2007-2010. METHOD Summarizing IMIA's activities, discussions and decisions, in particular with respect to its Board and General Assembly meetings; looking at recent progress of biomedical and health informatics through IMIA's Yearbook. RESULTS Over the last three years...

Recent years have seen a rise in the efforts to implement diversity topics into medical education, using either a 'narrow' or a 'broad' definition of culture. These developments urge that outcomes of such efforts are systematically evaluated by mapping the curriculum for diversity-responsive content. This study was aimed at using an intersectionality-based approach to define diversity-related l...

Peer education is a community-based intervention being implemented worldwide as an approach to HIV prevention. However, its results are inconsistent, with little consensus on why some projects succeed while others fail. Considering peer education as an 'intervention-in-context', we systematically compare the context and the implementation of two peer education interventions run by sex workers, ...

Introduction Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, medical anthropologists increasingly turned their attention to the examination of biomedicine as a sociocultural system (see Gordon 1988 and reviews by Gaines and Hahn 1985; Hafferty 2000; Hahn and Kleinman 1983). A significant portion of this study focused on medical education, exploring the ways in which biomedical practitioners—primarily physician...
