PRESENTATION On Nano Tech

This presentation provides an overview of nanoscience and nanomedicine. It discusses how nanoscience involves controlling and manipulating materials at the nanoscale of 10-1000 nanometers to enhance properties. Nanomedicine applies this to develop diagnostic tools, targeted drug delivery, and other medical applications. The presentation outlines several current and potential applications of nanomedicine including cancer treatment, artificial organs, and nerve monitoring. It also discusses challenges like side effects and the need for strategic targeting of treatments. The future of nanomedicine is presented as enabling precise and minimally invasive medical procedures as well as increasing lifespan through cellular repair.

NANOSCIENCE
 Nano science is concerned with materials and systems
whose structures and components exhibit novel and
significantly improved physical, chemical and biological
properties, phenomena and processes, because of their
small nano scale size.
 Structural features in the range of about 10 Å to 1000 Å.
 Once we are able to control feature size, we can enhance
material properties and device functions beyond those that
we currently know or even imagine.
 Nanoscience is a new way of thinking about building up
complex materials and machines by exquisite control of the
functionality of their matter and its assembling at the
nanometre scale. Nanoscience provides a way ahead to the
boundaries of every discipline in which it is used.
NANO MEDICINE
 “…the application of nanotechnology (the
engineering of tiny machines) to the
prevention and treatment of disease in the
human body.”

 Potential Cures to:


I. Cancer
II. Degenerative Diseases
III. Ageing
APPLICATIONS
 Diagnosis using nanomedicine-Diagnostic nano apparatus could be attached to keep
check of the internal chemistry of the body. Mobile nanorobots, with wireless transmitters easily
circulate in the blood and lymph systems and send out alerts when chemical imbalances appear in
the blood.  

 Nervous system tracking:-Nanomedicine has also helped doctors to better understand


the phenomenal changes in the human nervous systems. Fixed nano machines could be inserted in
the nervous system of the human body to monitor pulse rate, brain activity, and other important
functions

 Drugs dispersion:-Live saving drugs are one of the important ingredients in the latest
medicines but its unusual and excess usage could cause death. Nanomedicine also has successful
applications for the reduction of extra drugs from human body. Implantation of nanomedicine devices
could disperse drugs or hormones as required in people with chronic imbalance or deficiency states.
 Heart and ECG machine:-Advanced and fully equipped
nanomedical   heart trackers are present in the famous hospitals to
accurately track the heart beat and it’s down falls and also for treating it
as needed in the body.. In human heart defibrillators and pacemakers,
nanodevices could influence the behaviour of individual cells.

 Artificial antibodies:-Nanomedicine was the first to


conceptualize the artificial red and white blood cells and later on it
successfully showed the positive results. Cancer patients are now
treated by injecting artificial red blood cells to balance the human body
blood level. Artificial antibodies, white & red blood cells and antiviral
nanorobots could be considered as successful applications of
nanomedicine.
Nano Medicine In India
 India, with one sixth population of the world, offers a
huge market and an even bigger challenge for health
care experts.
 Almost 40% of the pharma products produced in India
are produced from this single State of India-Gujarat.
 Also, over the years, this place has emerged as the
centre for medical treatment not only for India but also
for patients from the European and other foreign
countries.
 State of the art hospitals with world class
infrastructure facilities including diagnostic, testing and
treatment abilities have come up.
Challenges
 A Surgery causes wounds which take long time to heal.
 Cancer therapy is damaging to many other important parts.
 The trial and error method of drugs have side effects.
 Organ transplantation may result into crippling the entire immune system.
 Many health problems cannot be cured at all .
 The present practice to deliver a chemical in the body is to dump it into
either the blood stream or the stomach, and let it spread all through the
body. 
 For some chemicals like insulin, it is acceptable. But for others, such as
chemotherapy drugs and some antibiotics, it is best to keep them as local
as possible.
  Strategic nano techniques can help the humanity to put drug delivery
devices right where they are needed.
 Nano medicines and nano tech machines have created the possibility of
diagnosing, treating and preventing disease with the use of smart drugs
and equipments that target specific organs or cells.
Easy and cheap diagnostics

 Portable diagnostic nano kits are being developed like the ones
available for sugar and pregnancy test, no need to go to a lab or wait
for hours for the report
 In eliminating bacterial infections in a patient, it can be done within
minutes through nanotechnology enabled medicines, instead of
treating with antibiotics over a period of few weeks.
 To perform surgery at the cellular level: this will help removing
individual diseased cells and even repairing defective portions of
individual cells.
 With drugs and surgery, the physicians presently cause the tissues to
repair themselves. Whereas nano enabled molecular machines will
affect more direct repairs, thus bringing a total revolution in medical
science.
 Substantial increase in the human lifespan: by Strategically repairing
cellular level conditions that cause the body to age by use of
nanotechnology
Conclusion
 There is a huge range of Nanomedicine devices which involves
medical applications .
 In the field of medical and biological world nanomedicine has
great significant as these applications have facilitated the
mankind so well.
 There are many instruments, devices and machines which
nanomedicine has introduced.
 Nanomedicine have significant applications in the world of
medical sciences.
   Its one of the major technologies which has highly supported
the entire field of medicine.
 One of the biggest advantage of naonomedicine is that it can
transform common medical procedures into faster one with 90
percent accuracy rate.
