MDMA’s Journey from Molly to Medicine‚ written by Alfonso Serrano and published by Scientific American‚ analyzes a MDMA-assisted psychotherapy created by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies‚ MAPS‚ that is ready for phase III trials. This is the last step before the treatment would be approved by the federal government. Phase III will test the treatment on a larger sample size‚ one that would be more effective of providing a significant and representative sample. MDMA is a

It is astounding the way in which we are beginning to understand how our own complex infrastructure works‚ including the composition and function of each individual cell and molecule. The variety of specialities within Biomedical Sciences‚ such as genetics and neuroscience‚ is one of the main reasons I chose this degree. The human body is an intelligent

Biomedical engineering is a very broad kind of engineering‚ comprised of many elements. There are several different topics to research more in depth‚ like tissue engineering‚ genetic engineering‚ building prosthesis or even making artificial organs. Artificial organ building is an advanced technology to help improve the quality of life‚ but has many ethical arguments many people do not agree with. Dr. Alan Flake is the leader of a project at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia‚ where they are

That carried on in my undergraduate career when I decided to major in Biomedical Physics‚ a unique and small degree program‚ which helped me integrate my interest in physical science with medicine. It became evident that I was to pursue a career in the science field‚ and during my time in 4-H I discovered the desire to serve

With this being said‚ I have come to the conclusion that my career must involve research as a major component in conjunction with patient care. Biomedical Science appeals to me as it is a collaboration of learning and practical work‚ both of which I hugely enjoy. Throughout my current course‚ I have thoroughly enjoyed studying cell biology‚ genetics and disease and infection. I found great interest

I got interest in Biomedical engineering as my career for life because of its unique blend of life sciences with the technical skills of engineering. Biomedical is among the most rapidly growing discipline with the most attracting area for research and development. My preferred areas of interest remained in instrumentation and electronics

Human beliefs about the causes of illness and injury vary from one era to another. In the Neolithic times (c.a 8000- 9000 b.c )‚ illness and injury being common phenomena’s‚ were directly associated to natural events manipulated by higher powers which also controlled climate changes and other natural events. Overtime‚ healing ceremonies‚ songs‚ sacred objects‚ and incantations were developed as means of pacifying the evil forces which were believed to cause diseases‚ and illnesses. Then‚ during the

Preparing for the BMAT (biomedical admissions test) The biomedical admissions test was created to assist medical and veterinary schools in the admissions process. Some of the universities have much more applications than places and the majority of these applications are strong. The BMAT allows the universities to filter out the strongest candidates based on exam performance. The BMAT exam lasts for 2 hours and is split into 3 sections. The examination test date is 31st October 2008. This article

Biomedical technology‚ the product of the medical field joining with the fields of engineering and science‚ is one of the fastest growing consumers of tax dollars. Although biomedical technology has been around for ages‚ it did not start to grow so exponentially until the post World War II era. Soon after WWII‚ biomedical technology research began to skyrocket and the discoveries it made were ground
