can u give me an example of what is medical treatment technology?

Any thing high tech used in treating a patient. Organ transplant like the face. It also refers to the instruments used in medical treatments. Like say getting drug concentrations.\nThe newest I have heard is a doctor in one country doing a heart operation on a patient who is in another country (or state)\nThe nurse makes an incision near the abdomen and inserts some pipes that are attached to a machine. The doctor who is in another country takes over and completes the operation by controlling the machines. Quite amazing.

Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is a health profession concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and disability through physical means. It is based upon principles of medical science, and is generally held to be within the sphere of conventional (rather than alternative) medicine. Physiotherapy is practiced by physiotherapists (also known as physical therapists, e.g. in the United States), though aspects may also be practiced under supervised delegation by physiotherapy assistants or other health professionals.

"Gene therapy is the insertion of genes into an individual's cells and tissues to treat a disease, and hereditary diseases in particular. Gene therapy typically aims to supplement a defective mutant allele with a functional one. Although the technology is still in its infancy, it has been used with some success. Antisense therapy is not strictly a form of gene therapy, but is often lumped together with them."\n\nGo to this site in the source list if should solve the paper your writing... :)

Radiation therapy is often used to treat cancer.  Nuclear energy also produces much power.

Nothing - there is no universal cure all.  There are laws which govern the selling of items based on unsubstantiated quasi-medical claims.\n\nWise up.

Consider radiotherapy. For the right dosage to be prescribed to a patient, physics knowledge is needed for example the intensity of gamma ray radiotherapy, etc. A certified radiotherapist can be a person with a background in applied physics. \n\nAnother example would be the user of the physics of sound waves in obstetric ultrasound scans. There is also the physics of radioactive decay, used to select substance like iodide to be ingested by patients for detections of thyroid problems.\n\nThis are only a few examples. There are countless applications of physics in the medical field.\n\nPerhaps the following reference on medical physics will help:

unlike conventional pharmaceutical treatments... which address the manifestation of disease or illness, i.e., symptoms, gene therapy is a potential permanent therapy or cure. \n\nthink about taking daily doses of insulin to treat diabetes or the drug lipitor to lower cholesterol levels... whether its a natural biological product (insulin) or a chemical compound, a patient needs to intake these drugs because they can not be manufactured in the body.\n\nwhat if instead of taking manufactured insulin, you were able to restore the body's natural ability to produce insulin by transfering the insuling gene with a subset of cells or the appropriate organ... you'd end up with a lifetime therapy... not a short term treatment.\n\nI participated in the first ever human clinical gene therapy trials at the NIH... it was to treat a girl with ADA (adenosine de-aminase) deficiency... essentially an immune suppression that leads to the 'boy in the bubble' syndrome where the person is ultra hypersensitive to external antigens. \n\nsome of the challenges and issues then still remain and some are advanced...  gene identification, gene cassette construction, gene transfer, gene expression, longevity, immune rejection, \n\ngene identification - with the completion of the human genome project, many more genes have been identified and available to be used as a cure... \n\ngene cassettes - the genes need to be engineered to produce the appropriate gene product (protein) within the body...\n\ngene transfer - the gene needs to be transfered from outside the body (ex vivo) to the appropriate organ in the body... engineered (think neutered) viruses serve as vehicles to carry the genes... they are further engineered to target specific organs or cells... e.g., liver, T-cells... pros & cons with different viruses exist, e.g., size, infection rate, immune reactivity, etc...\n\ngene expression - once the gene arrives at the desired location, it has to borrow the cells machinery to produce the proteins... the delivered gene can be express transiently or more permanently... usually when its transient, it requires on-going treatment (... not desirable)... but in order to establish a permanent footprint in the DNA, it must be careful not to cause insertional mutagenesis (get stuck in the middle of an essesntial gene and cause untoward damage)\n\nimmune rejection - colds are caused by viruses... viruses are used as gene transfer vehicles... the body tries to fight off a cold... the body tries to fight off the gene transfer vehicles... a severe inflammatory reaction to a gene transfer event can lead to death...\n\nbesides the technical difficulties, there are ethical, legal, social implications (ELSI) associated with gene therapy... so far gene therapy has been discussed in terms of somatic cell thereapy (adult body cells), not germ line therapy (sperm or egg)... it's one thing to affect a single person, but if you make changes to a sperm or egg, then there is the potential now to pass along the changes to the next generation... \n\ngene therapy, much like other advances in biotech/medicine, was overhyped in its early days... the promise of a cure for intractable diseases raised hopes for patients (and investor)... because the expectations were so high the initial results failed to meet them, but continued progress in this area occurrs each year and soon I believe we will realize the full promise of gene therapy.

Because of the small size nano technology will help in making medicine/curing tools that is small enough to  flow in the blood streams and only kill harmful cells instead of healthy cells.This help not only physically but also mentalli because people doesn't really have to deal with that much of phisical pain such as injected , cut by surgery knifes etc but instead swallowing the necessary cure and thus aiding a much faster recovery.\nNanotechnology tools might also be used to study germs and how our immune system affect it whether inside our body or on the germs body concerned.

A whole lot of things!  But it starts with research.\n\nI did a project on the bionic eye, which was a computer that linked directly to the visual cortex and a set of glasses.  It was awesome...the person, blind from birth, could see black and white dots, representing locations, but could not judge depth perception.\n\nI suppose biomedical engineering is going to be used for saving people's lives, like with nanotechnology.  In the works are nano computers that can enter the bloodstream and work as super-white blood cells, for example.  Other uses will be for early detection and diagnosis.  As well, there will be treatments for existing diseases, and hopefully a cure for cancer.\n\nOther possible topics for the future of BM Engin. could be the construction and easy use and application of huge bulky machines, like MRI machines.  There is also the idea of radiation treatment either being improved for precision and accuracy, or if that still is too dangerous it could be replaced by "safer" radiation or no radiatino at all.\n\nGood luck!

Herbal therapy. Period. \n\nI could talk for days and days about this subject, but due to the fact that I have limited time at the moment and no one really wants to read a year's worth of typing (lol) I'll keep it short.\n\nFirst of all, drugs and surgery cause illness. The FDA, USDA, FTC, etc. all profit from the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Because natural cures cannot be patented, meaning no profits, drug companies want to scare people from turning to them.\n\nNot only do natural remedies have no side effects, they are 100% natural and healthy. All drugs are chemicals and unnatural, yet millions--billions really--of people believe that these are better to put into your body rather than something that the earth naturally provides. \n\nLook at animals. Do they ever get heart burn? How about diabetes? Cancer? Nope, nope, nope. Now, of course, we are talking about wild animals. Pets that you give drugs and crappy, chemically altered food to are just as unhealthy as the humans who choose deadly chemicals over the natural cures.

"Radiation therapy is the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation. Radiation works by damaging the DNA within tumor cells, making them unable to divide and grow. Radiation is often given with the intent of destroying the tumor and curing the disease but although radiation is directed at the tumor, it is inevitable that the normal, non-cancerous tissues surrounding the tumor will also be affected by the radiation and therefore damaged. The goal of radiation therapy is to maximize the dose to tumor cells while minimizing exposure to normal, healthy cells."\n"Because no single therapy can provide complete treatment for a patient with a solid tumor, radiotherapy is often used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy to improve the chances of a successful treatment outcome. Sometimes radiation is used to relieve symptoms, such as pain or seizures; this is called palliative treatment"

Stem cell research and cloning are still "blockbusters", but specific antibody research, gene therapy and advanced imaging techniques (fret, for example) are hot too.\n\nOff course, I would certainly add RNA interference to the list!
