The call for papers

Read the original call: description and topics

This special issue devoted to the integrated study of biomedical systems (from earliest times to the present day) will be published to give researchers appreciation of where the discipline has come from. We aim to provide an advanced forum for studies related to the proposed fields with all topics below. The objective of this special issue is to present recent advances and emerging cross-disciplinary approaches in the field of biomedical and medical engineering. The editors also would like to encourage studies that outline the general development of the main branches of biomedical as we know them today and even to discuss principal figures in each area.

Articles discussing methodology, and reviews of the current state of knowledge and possibilities for future research, are especially welcome. Moreover, this issue will publish reviews and research articles. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and methodological details, as applicable, must be provided.
