Effects of Personal Health Record on Patient Healthcare Outcomes by Bonita R Payne and Sajeesh Kumar in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Biosciences (OAJBEB) in Lupine Publishers

Abstract

Electronic transmission of data is on the rise, due to the Affordable Care Act and provisions to make healthcare information more accessible, complete, and transparent. The Personal Health Record (PHR) application is a tool used to provide assistance to the goal of patient-centered and patient-centric care. Its purpose is to encourage consumers to become more participatory and informed in their healthcare treatment and healthcare needs. Since its inception, it has been questionable as to whether consumers and providers are seeing any improvements in the services provided or the care rendered. Since, the development and implementation of PHR applications, there has been some resistance from consumers for concerns of privacy and security of their information. This paper will discuss the uses of the PHR among consumers and providers and whether its use has impacted accessibility, services, and overall healthcare treatment/outcomes.

Challenges in the Field of Biomedical Engineering Research: (OAJBEB) - Lupine Publishers

Challenges in the Field of Biomedical Engineering Research by Neeraj Sharma in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Biosciences (OAJBEB) in Lupine Publishers

Abstract

Biomedical Engineering is the most recent and challenging field of engineering that involves applying the principles, knowledge and approaches from all major fields of sciences and engineering to provide medical/clinical experts with the accurate tools for diagnostics, clinical studies and treatment. Biomedical Engineering in itself is a highly research oriented and interdisciplinary field. Biomedical engineering derives its principle and knowledge from all major engineering and science branch such as electronic, electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, computers etc. and chemistry, physics, nuclear physics, biology, pharmacology, physiology, etc. Whenever some new technology is developed its application in biomedical engineering is always searched. For example, the development of optical fibers in late 1980s has led to the development of endoscope indeed a useful device for abdomen examination and surgery applications. Further, most of the high end imaging systems such as CT scan, MR imaging have been only possible because of tremendous advancement in computer technology both at the hardware and software end. The list is long and it is not possible to cover all these in the present article. Finally, we can say that it is only because of technological advancement that we have been successfully able to design and develop accurate diagnostic devices (Ultra sound scan, CT scan, ECG, EMG and EEG machines etc.), prosthetic devices (pacemaker, heart valves, artificial limbs), treatment and surgery devices (LASER based surgery systems, electrosurgical units, radiotherapy systems, Lithotripters etc). Thus, advancement in the field of science and technology from all fronts has contributed a lot to the research and development of biomedical engineering.

Computational Analysis of Pharmacogenomic based Compatibility of Micro RNA in Regulatory Network of Psoriasis: A Bioinformatics approach to initiate the discovery of Systemic biomarkers to treat Psoriasis: (OAJBEB) - Lupine Publishers

Computational Analysis of Pharmacogenomic based Compatibility of Micro RNA in Regulatory Network of Psoriasis: A Bioinformatics approach to initiate the discovery of Systemic biomarkers to treat Psoriasis by Harishchander Anandaram in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Biosciences (OAJBEB)  in Lupine Publishers

In the era of post genomics, performing a computational analysis to understand the pharmacogenomic based regulation of Psoriasis with respect to the principles of data mining and constructing a regulatory network with respect to the principles of systems biology and analyzing the network with respect to the principles of test statistic remains a challenging task to execute. The challenge was approached by identifying the associated genes of Psoriasis from PharmGkb and it was followed by identifying the associated regulators (MicroRNAs and Transcription Factors) from PharmacomiR/ RegNetworks. Finally the Compatibility of miRNA in regulatory networks was analyzed by the statistical measures of miRmap.
