High impact information on Biomedical Technology

• Biochemical markers of bone turnover (urinary deoxypyridinoline cross-links; Quidel Corp., San Diego, CA, USA) and serum osteocalcin (Biomedical Technologies, Stroughton, MA, USA) were obtained at study days 0, 60, 90, and 120 and analyzed by ELISA [1].
• The use of such decision models enabled the Health Technology Board for Scotland (now a part of NHS Quality Improvement Scotland) to determine that FDG-PET imaging is likely to be cost effective in selected applications and identified long-term patient benefits that it would not be possible to study in a randomised controlled trial [2].
• METHODS: Results from the previous ad hoc retinal screening service were compared with data from the first year of the new Scottish Diabetes Retinal Screening Programme in Dundee, which was administered according to criteria recommended by the Health Technology Board Scotland [3].
• New Horizons for the Clinical Specialty of Anti-aging Medicine: The Future with Biomedical Technologies [4].
• Health technology assessment in clinical biochemistry. Methylmalonic acid: a Danish showcase [5].

Associations of Biomedical Technology with chemical compounds

• The antiemetic efficacy and the cost-benefit ratio of ondansetron calculated with a new approach to health technology assessment (real cost-benefit index) [6].
• The survey was initiated by the Institute of Biomedical Technology (INBIT) in Patras, Greece, with the active support of national organizations, educational institutions and other parties that share involvement in the overall management of medical devices in Bulgaria [7].
• The objective of the present study was to evaluate the exposure to formaldehyde in 2 groups each with 18 students in animal health technology from two different training centers (TC) during a 3-hour weekly laboratory session in biology [8].
• The ongoing adoption of school-based fluoride mouthrinse programs in the U.S. has provided the opportunity to study the issues surrounding the adoption and implementation of a health technology by public schools [9].
• In the context of the establishment of a Danish Horizon Scanning System (HSS) the views of health care stakeholders and health economists were solicited by means of postal surveys on the need for adaptation of a priority setting instrument for health technology assessment (HTA) [10].

Gene context of Biomedical Technology

• SARS and population health technology [11].
• In an attempt to evaluate the relevance of CCN3 as a useful tool in modern biomedical technologies, the biological properties of the CCN proteins and the data that established their potential usefulness will briefly be reviewed [12].
• CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Dental practitioners who treat patients who have IDDM need to have a solid foundation in the basic medical sciences and emerging biomedical technology as they each relate to diabetes [13].
• CONCLUSIONS: Health technology assessment has had very little impact on policy and practice in use of mammography, PSA testing, and ultrasound in pregnancy in Belgium [14].
