This handbook covers the broad scope of nanomedicine. Starting with the basics, the subject is developed to potential clinical applications many of which are still at an experimental stage. The prefix nano is used liberally and indicates the nano dimension of existing scientific disciples and medical specialties. Two important componants of nanomedicine are nanodiagnostics and nanopharmaceuticals and constitute the largest chapters. Provides uniformity of style and avoids duplications as only a single author book can. The physician-scientist author blends his clinical experience and scientific expertise in new technologies to provide a definitive account of nanomedicine. Complete with a more up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of nanomedicine than any other comparable work INDICE: Introduction.- Nanotechnologies.- Nanomolecular Diagnostics.- Nanopharmacceuticals.- Role of Nanotechnology in Biological Therapies.- Nanodevices for Medicine & Surgery.- Nanooncology.- Nanoneurology.- Nanocardiology.- Nano-orthopedics.- Infectious Diseases.- Application of Nanobiotechnology in Ophthalmology.- Regenerative Medicine & Tissue Engineering.- Miscellaneous Applications.- Ethical, Safety and Regulatory issues of Nanomedicine.- Worldwide Development and Commercialization of NanoMedicine.- Research and Education in Nanomedicine.- Future of Nanomedicine.
