Nanomedicine and Prospect of Medical Science

“Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale” that implies range of technologies, techniques and processes that changes maneuvering of matter at smallest scale (from 1 to 100 nm2) where unique phenomena of particles enable novel applications. National Science and Technology Council (USA) claim that “Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that will change the nature of almost every human-made object in the next century.”

Nanomedicine : The Hope , the Promise , and the Need for Precaution

The vision for nanotechnology is often traced to a talk given by Richard P. Feynman at the 1959 American Physical Society annual meeting. 1 Feynman went on to win the Nobel Prize in Physics (for work done prior to his talk) and had a gift for putting physics into a format that was accessible for non-physicists. Feynman has been called one of the leading physicists of the 20th century and "the founding father of modern nanotechnology." 2 His talk did not use the term "nanotechnology," but challenged researchers to work with matter on a very, very small scale. 3 Feynman claimed that if what was then known about the laws of physics was applied to challenging questions, the whole Encyclopedia Britannica could be written on the head of a pin and computers could be built that were much smaller and faster than existed in 1959. That, and more, has been made possible by nanotechnology.

Nanomedicine an Emerging Technology in Medicine

Asian Academic Research Journal of Multidisciplinary

Peering into the future, technology has started demanding upon the ability to control processes and materials of very small length scales. Nanotechnology which aims at the ideal miniaturization of devices and machines down to atomic and molecular sizes, is a recent technological trend with tremendous scope for future applications. It can be defined as the science and engineering involved in the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices whose smallest functional organization in at least one dimension is on the nanometer scale (nanometer = 10 -9 meter).

NANOMEDICINE – THE FUTURISTIC MEDICINE

The use of nanotechnology in medicine offers exciting possibilities and while some techniques are only being imagined, others are at various stages of development and testing, and still others are in actual use. Use of nanotechnology in medicine, called " Nanomedicine " , involves application of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the use and manufacture of nanodevices that can work at cell level. This area when fully developed will revolutionize the medical field. This article reviews the possible influence of the emerging nanotechnology discipline on healthcare with the objective to enhance awareness of the readers about the nanotechnology implications for the 21 st Century medicine. As the nanoscience changes from concept to a discipline, so does the nanomedicine that integrates the nanotechnology into medicine for DNA sequencing, diagnosing, monitoring, healing, tissue regenerating, and even reversing the disease process.

NANOMEDICINE'S TRANSVERSALITY: SOME IMPLICATIONS OF THE NANOMEDICAL PARADIGM

This chapter is concerned with developing an analysis of the implications of the nanomedical paradigm. Although the nanomedical paradigm promised revolutionary changes, actual developments appear to have fallen short of the more radical trans­ formations that had been foreseen. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing some of the recent literature that has assessed the extent to which nanomedicine has lived up to its promise. The general consensus is that despite encouraging signals, the field has yet to mature. One of attempting to develop an analysis of the implications of an emerging field such nanomedicine is that its inchoate and yet‐to‐be‐ determined nature makes extrapolation of its impact highly unfeasible. We draw on scholarship from science studies to argue that despite their compelling nature, the future visions of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, advanced by early promoters, rested on a narrow technological determinist understanding of technological development and innovation. By ignoring the highly contextual nature of technological development, these initial raw visions of nanomedicine's future have failed to grasp how the technology on the ground would develop. Equally, we draw on this same literature to show that the preliminary anticipatory visions, which fuelled the development of the * Names appear in alphabetical order.

Aspects of the use of nanotechnology and nanomedicine in medicine

International Journal of Engineering, 2020

Muhamet Avdyli, Era Kastrati Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Business and Technology UBT, Kosovo  Abstract—The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of the application of the nanotechnologies, especially in medicine, in these days. The design, development and implementation by manipulating form and size on a nanometer-scale of structures, equipment and systems are nanotechnologies. Nanomedicine is the special division Concerned with medicine research of nanotechnology. Nanomedicine is a medicine field which uses nanotechnology knowledge and instruments for disease prevention and treatment. Nanomedicine includes the use for the detection or activation of nanoscale materials in a living organism such as nanoparticles and nanaorobots [1]. Nanotechnology is considered completely new, but it is definitely not the only field concerned with atoms and molecules. I have now shown my own actions and manipulation and quantum mechanics to be a totally mino...

The New Field of the Nanomedicine

The nanoscience and nanotechnology nowadays are present in many areas of our life, and they will have much impact on the fields of medicine and health care. The world of medicine is very complex, so all of the benefits from nanoscience and nanotechnology to medicine will take time to become evident; however, other benefits will come immediately. The tools of research and medical practice will be less expensive and more powerful. The research and development of new devices as well as the diagnostics will become, more effective, enabling faster response and the ability to treat new diseases. Small sensors, drugs, disease labels and indicators, computers, implantable devices, diagnostic equipment will continuously monitor health, at low cost, and automatic processing will be possible. Many new types of treatment can be addressed, while the medicine cost will go down, treating diseases more safely, and the benefits will be experienced by many more people around the world.
