A vocal biomarker will be an indicator of using audio signal to monitor the patient, diagnose, severity of their condition, or effects of treatment. They have been used to perform in the field of Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Cardio vascular Disease, Mental Health, and Covid 19. In working within these it may help to monitor and diagnose early on with vocal characteristics, respiratory sounds, verbal interactions, and language. However, there are many challenges when it comes to surveying and using vocals. Such as the establishment of a standard type of voice recording, data collection, and audio preprocessing. As well using this information to fully extract and use the audio.

Such as bones, muscles and the nervous system. Bionics are used for limbs, prostheses which are then used to replace a missing body part which may have been lost due to trauma, disease, or congenital defect. This mechanical system will help give back some movement and function  that was lost. Although there is still some work and things to do for this system to be successful.

Since they are so many new diseases we need a way to come up with vaccines faster which is where mRNA comes up. mRNA vaccines provide safe long lasting protection. For example with covid-19 it was a new and fast disease that we needed a rapid development of a vaccine. mRNA works by mimicking a viral protein and tricks the immune system into mounting an immune response against the invader. Then powerful antibodies are produced which provides long last protection against the viral infection. Even though this not really new, covid-19 helped bring it out to the open, on a new way to fight against diseases.]]> 2022-04-15 14:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2144942910 https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2144944247 2022-04-15 14:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2144944247 https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2145105668 2022-04-15 18:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2145105668 https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2145114654 The CyberKnife uses a combination of robotics and imaging in order to attack cancerous and also non-cancerous tumors.

However, they have found out how to create bile duct "mini organs" that can repair and even better a liver. These can be inserted into damaged livers ready for transplantation and may even be able to heal a liver that is inside someone. They were able to create these "organoids" by first, using RNA sequencing to study the biliary tree cells and noticed that gallbladder cells were not damaged by bile duct disease and could take those out and grow the organoids, which were then inserted into the liver so that they could repair the bile ducts.

However in the the near future, this may not be an issue since researchers have been able to successfully 3D-print organs. These 3D-printed organs are able to mimic real organs but, it has not yet been confirmed whether they will work and function the same as a real organ. Besides this, the use of stem cells and the artificial organs can change the lives of many patients who have long awaited an organ transplant or repair.

These judgments might include who should receive certain types of medicines or certain dosages of a given therapy, or who should be followed more closely because they are prone to a specific safety concern. Bioinformatics, pharmacogenetics, personalized medicine, and pharmacogenomics are all names that have been used to describe the investigation of gene mutations and their impact on how people react to pharmaceuticals.

In general, personalized medicine has two components. The therapeutic intervention (drug, biologic, or other) comes first, followed by the diagnostic test. They are to create multi-center policies on personalized medicine including the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and other FDA departments, in addition to CDER's rules. From roughly 2008 to 2011, it was difficult to organize such connections, in my opinion, primarily because the centres weren't really nearby to one other.]]> 2022-05-26 07:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahthorndyke1/b8elgiafxbdlp08q/wish/2200550867
