Nanomedicineby Robert A Freitas
Landes Bioscience 2003; US$ 99.00The safety, effectiveness, and utility of medical nanorobotic devices will critically depend upon their biocompatibility with human organs, tissues, cells, and biochemical systems. In this Volume, we broaden the definition of nanomedical biocompatibility to include all of the mechanical, physiological, immunological, cytological, and biochemical responses of the human body to the introduction of artificial medical nanodevices, whether ?particulate? (large doses of independent micron-sized individual nanorobots) or ?bulk? (nanorobotic organs assembled either as solid objects or built up from trillions of smaller artificial cells or docked nanorobots inside the body) in form. more...
Nanomedicine Volume I: Basic Capabilitiesby Robert A. Freitas
Landes Bioscience 1999; US$ 89.00Molecular nanotechnology has been defined as the three-dimensional positional control of molecular structure to create materials and devices to molecular precision. The human body is comprised of molecules, hence the availability of molecular nanotechnology will permit dramatic progress in human medical services. more...
A Guide to Methods in the Biomedical Sciencesby Ronald B. Corley
Springer 2005; US$ 84.95A Guide to Methods in the Biomedical Sciences gives a basic description of common methods used in research. This is not intended to be a methods book. Rather, it is intended to be a book that outlines the purpose of the methods described, their limitations and provide alternative approaches as appropriate. Thousands of methods have been developed in the various biomedical disciplines and those covered in this book represent the basic, essential and most widely used methods in several different disciplines. The historical background (including some interesting anecdotes) leading to the development of ground-breaking techniques is described, especially of those that significantly advanced the field of biomedical research. Advances that earned... more...
Medical Device Reliability and Associated Areasby B.S. Dhillon
CRC Press 2000; US$ 149.95A presentation of information on medical device reliability, covering developments in the field along with tools and techniques for professionals in the medical device industry.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applicationsby Ian Gibson
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2006; US$ 145.00Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) combine novel manufacturing techniques and machines with the application of information technology, microelectronics and new organizational practices within the manufacturing sector. They include "hard" technologies such as rapid prototyping, and "soft" technologies such as scanned point cloud data manipulation. AMTs contribute significantly to medical and biomedical engineering. The number of applications is rapidly increasing, with many important new products now under development. Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications outlines the state of the art in advanced manufacturing technology and points to the future development of this exciting field. Early chapters look at actual... more...
