Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers addresses the critical need for materials that can self-repair, enhancing the durability and functionality of biomedical devices and tissue engineering scaffolds. The design, characterization, and fabrication of self-healing polymers is covered, as well as key preparation methods, classifications, and mechanisms of action. This book also explores the integration of nanoparticles in self-healing polymers and the creation of self-healing scaffolds for tissue regeneration. The second part of the book focuses on the biomedical applications of self-healing polymers, such as wound healing, drug delivery, cell and tissue engineering, medical devices, dental restorative materials, and 3D-printed biomedical constructs.Sections include in vitro and in vivo evaluations, discussing current limitations and future prospects. This book is ideal for academics and researchers in materials science, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.Provides a clear introduction to self-healing polymers, including key design and preparation methods, properties, and mechanisms of actionReviews a wide range of biomedical applications, from wound healing and drug delivery to 3D printing and medical devicesPresents practical and translational insights on in vitro and in vivo evaluations of self-healing polymers

This book focuses on the recent advances in nanomedicine and tissue engineering. It outlines the basic tools and novel approaches that are becoming available in nanomedicine and tissue engineering and considers the full range of nanomedical applications which employ molecular nanotechnology inside the human body, from the perspective of a future practitioner in an era of widely available nanomedicine. Topics include: Health benefits of phytochemicals and application of superparamagnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermiaSilver nanoparticles in nanomedicineOptical diagnostic of molecules and cells using nanotechnologyNanoparticulate drug delivery system for antiviral drugsLiposomal drug delivery systems, nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDS)Functionalization of tissue engineering scaffolds Induction of angiogenesis in scaffoldsMany other recent achievementsWritten by some of the most innovative minds in medicine and tissue engineering, this book considers the full range of nanomedical applications which employ molecular nanotechnology inside the human body and will help professionals understand cutting-edge and futuristic areas of nanomedicine and tissue engineering research. Readers will find insightful discussions on nanostructured intelligent materials and devices that are considered technically feasible and that have a high potential to produce advances in medicine in the near future.

This book will enlighten on some of the recent progress in diabetic care and therapy. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because of the inability of cells to respond to the insulin that is produced. According to the recent report of World Health Organization, 346 million people worldwide are suffering from diabetes, and in 2004, approximately 3.4 million people died as a result of high blood sugar.This book explores applying both classical and modern approaches to the management of diabetes by focusing on a holistic approach. Great attention has been focused on global trends in diabetes, epidemiology of diabetes, inhibitors in diabetes and diabetes therapy, vitamins and diabetes, and the role of dietary fats in diabetes in this book. Topics include:• diabetic foot ulcers and therapeutic footwear• Withania coagulans. Dunal as an antidiabetic herb• the pharmacological interventions for diabetic cardiomyopathy• the use of saliva as a noninvasive tool to monitor glycemic control in diabetic patients • a cutting-edge biomedical device for continuous in vivo glucose monitoring• the temporal effect of repeated stress in the pathophysiology of T2DM• nanosensor technology for glucose detectionThe editors and authors emphasize a holistic approach toward the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes by joining hands with experts from various disciplinesMedical students and doctors of modern medicine, Ayurveda, homeopathy, etc., medical reserachers, researchers in the area of diabetes, pharma professionals.
