The book is about the application of nanotechnology in the field of medicine, with a focus on diagnosis and therapy. The first few chapters introduce the basics of material engineering and nanobiomedicine, followed by chapters on different types of engineered nanomaterials and their surface modification strategies for biomedicine. The book then covers the application of nanobiomedicines and nanodiagnostics in clinical settings, and how functionalized nanomaterials can be used in microfluidic biosensors and diagnosis devices. The latter half of the book discusses various nanobiomaterials used in cancer diagnosis and therapy, as well as regenerative medicine, infectious diseases, and bioimaging. The book concludes with a chapter on the commercial aspects of nanobiomedicines.
According to the most updated epidemiological studies, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death; in fact, despite substantial advances in the care of patients, the incidence of cardiovascular disorders continues to increase. Therefore, the search for novel mechanisms and therapeutics is desperately needed, and translational studies represent the best strategy to uncover novel therapeutic targets, reduce mortality, and improve the quality of life. This book gathers original articles and systematic reviews that have both a strong basic research background and clear translational potential. All the studies have been peer reviewed by at least two experts in the field. These contributions provide an updated systematic overview that examines, in detail, the mechanisms of the main cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure, hypertension, thromboembolism, atherosclerosis, stroke, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, valvulopathies, peripheral artery disease. In the final chapter, the functional role of the endothelium in the systemic manifestations of COVID-19 is described.
Pollution is undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with harmful substances as a consequence of human activities so that the environment becomes harmful or unfit for living things; especially applicable to the contamination of soil, water, or the atmosphere by the discharge of harmful substances. In addition to the harm, either present or future and known or unknown, to living beings, pollution cleanup and surveillance are enormous financial drains of the economies of the world. Air pollution research is the subject of this volume.
This comprehensive book covers various aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology and what is known about the potential environmental and health impacts. Divided into three main sections, the book addresses the toxicity of nanomaterials, fate and transport of nanomaterials in the environment, and occupational health aspects of nanotechonology.
