BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
Types of Biomedical Research Include:
therapies (ex. drugs, surgical interventions, medical devices)
diagnostic procedures (ex. CAT scans, amniocentesis, ultrasounds)
preventive measures (ex. vaccines, diets, fluoride toothpaste)
studies of the human body (while fasting, exercising, feeding, sleeping)
responding to stress and sensory stimulation
comparison of stages of development (ex. infancy, childhood, adulthood)
research on disease processes
research with animals
research on samples of materials (tissue, blood, urine)
Examples:
biochemical changes associated with AIDS
neurological changes associated with dementia
research within genetics
