Nanopharmacology is the specialization of pharmacology in the nanoscale.

The two main areas of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.

Pharmacology is not synonymous with pharmacy, though the two terms are frequently confused.

The number of people worldwide diagnosed as living with diabetes has increased sharply in recent decades, from 200 million in 1990 to 828 million in 2024.

These numbers have already risen beyond earlier projections of 783 million adults by 2045.

The global expenditure on diabetes-related healthcare is an estimated US$760 billion a year.

The major types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2.

Gestational diabetes, a form that sometimes arises during pregnancy, normally resolves shortly after delivery.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin and thus glucose remains in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed by the cells.

Vaccines can be made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.

Vaccines help the immune system learn to recognize and fight specific diseases.

Vaccines have been instrumental in reducing the incidence of diseases like smallpox, polio, and measles.

Vaccines are essential for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and saving lives.

Vaccines can also help protect against non-infectious diseases, like cancer, by stimulating the immune system.

Vaccines undergo rigorous testing and approval processes to ensure their safety and effectiveness before being recommended for use.

However, the term is widely used in studies of zoological populations (veterinary epidemiology), although the term 'epizootiology' was historically used.

'Epidemiology' has also been applied to studies of plant populations (botanical or plant disease epidemiology).

Epidemiologists also study the interaction of diseases in a population, a condition known as a syndemic.

Therefore, this epidemiology is based upon how the pattern of the disease causes change in the function of human beings.

Hippocrates believed sickness of the human body to be caused by an imbalance of the four humors (black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm).

Some examples of topics examined through epidemiology include high blood pressure, mental illness and obesity.

Physicians who specialize in this field of medicine are called cardiologists.

Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians who specialize in cardiology.

Physicians who specialize in cardiac surgery are called cardiothoracic surgeons or cardiac surgeons, a specialty of general surgery.

Surgical aspects outside of cardiac rhythm device implant are not included in cardiology and are in the domain of cardiothoracic surgery.

=== Adult cardiology === Cardiology is a specialty of internal medicine.

To become a cardiologist in the United States, a three-year residency in internal medicine is followed by a three-year fellowship in cardiology.

Alexander Fleming (1881–1955) discovered modern-day penicillin in 1928, the widespread use of which proved significantly beneficial during wartime.

A limited number of antibiotics also possess antiprotozoal activity, but antibiotics are not effective against viruses or fungi.

Chemical analyses of Nubian skeletons show consistent, high levels of tetracycline, a powerful antibiotic.

This intentional routine use of antibiotics marks a foundational moment in medical history.

Antibiotics revolutionized medicine in the 20th century.

Synthetic antibiotic chemotherapy as a science and the development of antibacterials began in Germany with Paul Ehrlich in the late 1880s.

The act of performing surgery may be called a surgical procedure or surgical operation, or simply "surgery" or "operation".

In this context, the verb "operate" means to perform surgery.

The adjective surgical means pertaining to surgery; e.g.

endoscopic polyp excision, rubber band ligation, laser eye surgery), or are percutaneous (e.g.

The Human Genome Project was started in October 1990, and the first draft sequences of the human genome were reported in April 2003.

== Origin of the term == The term genome was created in 1920 by Hans Winkler, professor of botany at the University of Hamburg, Germany.

For example, the standard reference genome of humans consists of one copy of each of the 22 autosomes plus one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.

Almost all eukaryotes have mitochondria and a small mitochondrial genome.

Algae and plants also contain chloroplasts with a chloroplast genome.

A few related -ome words already existed, such as biome and rhizome, forming a vocabulary into which genome fits systematically.
