TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN MEDICINE

  • The germs

    The germs
    Germs are little bugs or other gross things. But germs are very small organisms (or living beings), capable of causing diseases.
  • THE VACCINES

    THE VACCINES
    Vaccines activate the body's natural defenses so that it learns to resist specific infections, and strengthens the immune system.
  • The anesthesia

    The anesthesia
    Anesthesia is a controlled medical act in which drugs are used to block a patient's tactile and painful sensitivity, whether in all or part of their body and whether with or without compromise of consciousness.
  • TAC

    TAC
    Computed tomography, CT, is an imaging procedure that uses special x-ray equipment to create detailed images, or scans, of internal regions of the body. It is also sometimes called computed axial tomography (CAT).
  • Cellular immunotherapy

     Cellular immunotherapy
    Immunotherapy treats the patient (by boosting their immune system) rather than treating the disease itself, as chemotherapy and radiation therapy does. Patients can be tested for biomarkers that can indicate whether immunotherapy may be effective.
  • radiotherapy

    radiotherapy
    Radiotherapy is one of the most used oncological treatments and is much less aggressive than chemotherapy, with fewer unfavorable side effects.
  • X RAYS

    X RAYS
    type of radiation used to diagnose cancer and other diseases
  • Genetics

    Genetics
    Genetics is a branch of biology that studies how hereditary characteristics are transmitted from generation to generation.
  • The transplants

    The transplants
    Transplantation is a procedure done to replace one of your organs with another person's healthy organ. Surgery is only one part of a complex and lengthy process.
  • Chemotherapy

    Chemotherapy
    Chemotherapy is a drug treatment with strong chemicals that destroys fast-growing cells in the body. Chemotherapy is often used to treat cancer because cancer cells grow and multiply much faster than most cells in the body.
  • Insulin

    Insulin
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas in the islets of Langerhans.
    whose main function is
    intervene in the metabolism of glucose that comes from food or that produced
    within the organism.
  • PENICILLIN

    PENICILLIN
    antibiotics from the beta-lactam group used in the treatment of infections caused by sensitive bacteria
  • Exoskeletons

    Exoskeletons
    An exoskeleton is generally considered to be a hard mechanical frame with joints that allow movement by the human operator. There are other types of exoskeletons that are softer and are worn on the body, relying on the internal skeleton of the human being.
  • Gene therapy

    Gene therapy
    Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent diseases. The most common form of gene therapy involves inserting a normal gene to replace an abnormal one.
  • Robotic nurses.

    Robotic nurses.
    Service robots are those that work autonomously or semi-autonomously to perform tasks useful for the well-being of people.
