INTRODUCTION: Recent discoveries of various forms of carbon nanostructures have stimulated research on their applications in diverse fields. They hold promise for applications in medicine, drug and gene delivery areas [1]. For instance, carbon nanotubes have the potential to carry drugs in the organism as they are hollow and much smaller than the blood cells. The methods were developed for atta...

Microstrip antennas are widely employed in communication system and seekers. Microstrip antennas posse's attractive features such as low profile, flexible, light weight, small volume and low production cost. In addition, the benefit of a compact low cost feed network is attained by integrating the RF frontend with the radiating elements on the same substrate. Microstrip antennas are widely pres...

Synthetic polymeric microspheres find application in a wide range of medical applications. Among other applications, microspheres are being used as bulking agents, embolicor drug-delivery particles. The exact composition of the spheres varies with the application and therefore a large array of materials has been used to produce microspheres. In this review, the relation between microsphere synt...

The two main applications of silica-based materials in medicine and biotechnology, i.e. for bone-repairing devices and for drug delivery systems, are presented and discussed. The influence of the structure and chemical composition in the final characteristics and properties of every silica-based material is also shown as a function of the both applications presented. The adequate combination of...

Coming along with the urgent development of wireless technology, wireless devices have invaded the medical area with a wide range of capability. Not only improving the quality of life of patients and doctor-patient efficiency, wireless technology enables clinicians to monitor patients remotely and give them timely health information, reminders, and support – potentially extending the reach of h...

Machine learning (ML) has been well recognized as an effective tool for researchers to handle the problems in signal and image processing.Machine learning is capable of offering automatic learning techniques to excerpt common patterns from empirical data and then make sophisticated decisions, based on the learned behaviors. Medicine has a large dimensionality of data and the medical application...

Abstract Simulation applications are effective tools in medical education. They can explain the function of individual physiological systems in a very visual and interactive way. Development of simulation applications requires cooperation of many domain experts. Teachers design intended educational scenarios, physiological modellers create simulation models, computer graphic designers designs v...
