Clinical applications, overview

The overview material for each chapter, written by individuals with extensive knowledge and practical experience, provides invaluable insight. The properties, characteristics, and clinical application of each biopharmaceutical are discussed in... 

For readers familiar with biotechnology, biopharmaceutics, and the drug development process, and for those that focus on the application of biopharmaceuticals. Part II provides a brief overview of each class of macromolecule with respect to physiological role and clinical application. Additional detail for each FDA approved, recombinantly derived biopharmaceutical, and several other interesting therapeutic proteins, for each category of macromolecule...

Among the several drug delivery systems, liposomes - phospholipid nanosized vesicles with a bilayered membrane structure - have drawn a lot of interest as advanced and versatile pharmaceutical carriers for both low and high molecular weight pharmaceuticals. At present, liposomal formulations span multiple areas, from clinical application of the liposomal drugs to the development of various multifunctional liposomal systems to be used in therapy and diagnostics. This chapter provides a brief overview of various liposomal products currently under development at experimental and preclinical level.

In the history of ethnopharmacology, a most significant event was the isolation and clinical application of the alkaloid reserpine from Rauwolfia spp, a plant that had been used for millennia in the Ayurvedic tradition to treat "madness". Although reserpine had clearly demonstrated antipsychotic efficacy, it was soon replaced by the first synthetic antipsychotic, chlorpromazine, which proved more effective, had fewer side-effects and was relatively inexpensive to manufacture [44]. Exhibit 4 provides overviews for representative studies on natural products with putative anti-psychotic effects.

In the preceding two sections, an overview of microfluidics-based SNP discrimination technology has been presented, and thus when defining future directions for research, it makes sense to compare these devices with each of the needs as expressed in Fig. 1. Continuing the theme from above here, we focus more on technology development rather than clinical applications (for more details on the latter of these readers are referred to Motsinger et al. [13]). 

The clinical applications of AM are varied in multiple medical disciplines. This is due to the changes in processing allowing for greater distribution and the physical characteristics of AM. The most widespread use has been found in the ocular field followed by wound care and skin substitutes for bums. The following sections provide an overview of the potential applications for AM use and are in no way exhaustive due to the multiple and continued advancement of this novel tissue grafting material in medicine and surgery.
