NANOMEDICINE in present century is the potent output of nanotechnology. It could changes the path of doctors to treat various life threaten diseases. Nanomedicine could increases effectiveness and reduces side effects unlike the other painful therapy. The basic principles of this technique are based on targeted drug delivery using nanoparticles, proper diagnosis using sensors and micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) and to monitor in vivo biochemical activities. Nanotechnology has provided the different important tools (nanomedicine) like nanoshells, nanomachines, nanobiosensors, nanofilms, nanocapsules and nanotubes for improvement of human health. Nanoshell is made up of inner core of glass and...

#ffffff;" /> Very often when people begin to learn about bird flu, they jump to the conclusion that because medicine has advanced by quantum leaps since the 1918-19 influenza pandemic (global epidemic), there is nothing to worry about. They are certainly right about the advance of medicine, which has been extraordinary by any measure. Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with a bird-flu pandemic, these advances fall short in many areas. To name the most significant: 1. Bird flu is caused by an influenza virus, for which there are only four approved antiviral agents in the U.S. The virus has extensive resistance to two of these medicines already, and resistance might develop in the remaining two...

For a long time, the term "dietary supplement" was used to describe any product that contains one or more essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and proteins) used to supplement a diet. Today, the term is used much more broadly. Thanks to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) which became law in 1994. In the law, Congress expanded the definition of the term to include herbs or other botanicals (except tobacco) and other substances that may be used to supplement a diet. As a result, there are many supplements on the market today that are made with herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, extracts from animal glands, fibers such as psyllium and guar gum, enzymes, and hormone-like...

Off label prescriptions are changing the face of illegal drug consumption. Already several states have sued pharmaceutical companies for marketing highly addictive painkillers for uses not recommended by the FDA. But painkillers are not the only drugs subject to marketing bombardments and aggressive sales policies. The Boston Globe reports that a number of officials in rehabilitation and corrections facilities have noticed an increase in drug addicts abusing anti-psychotics for their sedative properties. This is especially alarming because such drugs can have very dire side effects even with doctor supervision. The trick is that pharmaceutical companies are not allowed to advertise their products...

When the snow falls, it covers everything, and that includes the guttering. The level surface of the guttering makes it a target area for snow deposits to fall and lodge in the shape of the guttering. This isn’t so much of a problem if the snow melts quickly, but with recent UK winters feeling bitter and lasting for...

Herbal nutrition supplements the Alternative to hormone replacement therapy Hair loss is a genetic/hormonal process that can affect both men and women. Hormones that bind to hair follicles can cause an imbalance in the biological processes that cause hair growth. Eventually, excess hormonal action on the follicle causes hair to stop growing and the follicle dies. Hormones govern the growth of hair. In men, the male hormone, testosterone, governs beard, body hair and hair in the armpits. In women, estrogen, the female hormone generally prevents hair growth on the chin and encourages it to grow on the head. Occasionally, women develop signs of hair loss or baldness when estrogen levels drop. This...

Although the pharmaceutical industry is becoming increasingly vigilant about drug safety, cases of adverse drug reactions are still reported. However, constant efforts have been made by drug regulation authorities and pharmaceutical companies in ensuring that the safe drugs are manufactured and made available to the consumers. Adverse event reporting system has been instrumental in helping medicine manufacturing companies in ensuring its safety. An adverse event is an untoward medical experience in a patient who is administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a casual relationship with this treatment. In such cases, though the medicine administered in the...
