2. About Medical Research
Biomedical Research (or experimental
medicine), in general simply known
as medical research, is the basic
research, applied research,
Or translational research conducted to
aid and support the body of knowledge
in the field of medicine. Medical
research can be divided into two
general categories:
the evaluation of new treatments for
both safety and efficacy in what are
termed clinical trials, and all other
research that contributes to the
development of new treatments.
clinical research, microbiology,
physiology, oncology, surgery and
research on many other non-
communicable diseases such as
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
3. The latter is termed preclinical
research if its goal is specifically to
elaborate knowledge
for the development of new
therapeutic strategies. A new
paradigm to biomedical research is
being termed translational research,
which focuses on iterative feedback
loops between the
basic and clinical research domains
to accelerate knowledge translation
from the bedside to the bench, and
back again. Medical research may
involve doing research on public
health,
biochemistry, clinical research,
microbiology, physiology, oncology,
surgery and research on many other
non-communicable diseases such as
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
4. The increased longevity of humans over the past century can be
significantly attributed to advances resulting from medical
research. Among the major benefits have been vaccines for
measles
and polio, insulin treatment for diabetes, classes of antibiotics for
treating a host of maladies , medication for high blood pressure,
improved treatments for AIDS, statins and other treatments for
atherosclerosis, new surgical techniques such as microsurgery,
and increasingly successful treatments for cancer.
New, beneficial tests and treatments are expected as a result of the
Human Genome Project.
Many challenges remain, however, including the appearance of
antibiotic resistance and the
obesity epidemic.
