Nice to read your article.It is well meaning and informative as well. one of my beats is Health as well so i will love to read what you write on Health.
Dear Sir or Madam
We would like to inform you that Infertility Center of ACECR Qom Branch, located in center of Iran in Qom province, has been providing with medical treatment services for many years for Iranians’ citizens as well as ones who live in other countries and seek for medical treatment in Iran. In addition, this center is gathering some information about medical treatment of tourists. Hereby we would like you to reply the following questions in this regard.
1. Are there any differences between the medical tariffs for your citizens and the ones for your tourists looking for medical treatment in your country? If any differences exist, what is the percentage of the differences?
2. What standards does your health care center follow to provide healthcare services for the tourists who are seeking for medical treatment in your country?
Thank you for your cooperation in advance. We look forward to your response.
Best regards

Use of Nanotechnology in Orthopedics
The benefit of nanotechnology to regenerative medicine is immense. Firstly, when attaching biomaterial such as stem cells to a scaffold, that material may not grow due to the material not attaching to the scaffold properly. When using a scaffold for bone tissue, the osteoblasts need to adhere to the scaffold and be able to grow on it. Secondly, keeping the area clean while the cells develop can also be an issue. Nanotechnology is still young. However it is being shown that it has promise in solving both of these issues. Here are some of the most recent breakthroughs we find to be very promising.
Nanotechnological Sensors- A Nanotechnological sensor communicating how well an implant is faring in the body to a handheld device is currently in development. The program within the handheld device would interpret that signal and provide feedback to the patient. It helps monitor the growth of the patients’ cells in their regenerative process. A sensor such as this will cut down on time and money for both the patient and the doctor.

Nanotechnological Antimicrobial Surfaces
AcryMed has developed an antimicrobial surface that primarily uses the properties of silver combined with nanotechnology to keep implants clean. AcryMed refers to it as silver antimicrobial technology, wherein silver nanoparticles bind to the surfaces of any device.
Over time, the scientific community has learned that almost all medically relevant microbes can establish a fast-mutating, adherent lifestyle wherein the organism attaches to a surface in the body where it forms colonies that spread. A cohesive film-like layer forms over the colony to protect it—hence the term “biofilm.” Once attached to an orthopedic device’s surface, this biofilm can be a major cause of infection spreading in the body.

Nanotechnological Coating for Wear-Resistance in Spinal Implants
How do you handle a breaking alloy or orthopedic device that needs to be replaced in 10 to 15 years? It’s time and money-consuming. Nanotechnology can help here as well. The Spire Corporation has already been approved to develop a lattice made of nano-structures that are composed of many different materials, like an alloy. The strength of the lattice in comparison to today’s orthopedic devices is larger, granting a longer lifespan.
Orthopedic Nanotube Hydrogel – Conducted by Brown University and University of Alberta
A hydrogel – a water based structure – has been found, when combined with nanotubes, to increase adhesion up to 236%. Not only is it a safe chemical to use, but it works in conjunction with the previous two methods.
