Medical records include clinical, office, consultation, and evaluation notes; laboratory, X-ray, operation, patient progress, physical, and pathology reports; and discharge records. The conversion of these data, received through dictation by tape, digital system, or voice files from physicians, into text format is called medical transcription. A professional involved in the process of conversion is called a medical transcriptionist. These processed data are used as documents or records for further reference, presurgical exams, liability insurance, and disability claims. Medical transcription requires a high degree of training, proficiency in English, and a deep knowledge of medical terminologies. Medical transcription is cost-effective and reduces physicians' time and the duration of the documentation process.

Biometrics authentication is a process by which an individual’s identity is authenticated by evaluating one or more unique biological traits, such as voice recognition, palm geometry, DNA identification, gait recognition, fingerprint matching, facial recognition, iris recognition, signature verification, and vein recognition. It was introduced based on the behavioral and physiological characteristics of an individual, which is difficult to be duplicated. Considered to be more reliable compared to physical devices and numeric codes, biometrics involves verification and identification processes to authenticate an individual. Verification is a one-to-one matching process that is used to verify the biometrics traits of an individual against a particular template in a database.

UCB is the blood that remains in the placenta and the attached umbilical cord after childbirth. Cord blood contains stem cells that are unique, smart, and capable of treating several lifethreatening diseases. They are used in the treatment of hematopoietic and genetic disorders. The placental blood can produce ten times more stem cells compared to the umbilical cord, which can in turn be used for the treatment of an adult patient. The cord blood, which is collected during childbirth, is stored and cryopreserved. The cord blood can be stored at private cord blood banks or public cord blood banks. This preserved blood can be used for transplantation and the treatment of diseases at the later stages of life.

Bio-implants are medical devices made up of biomaterials used for the repair, replacement, and augmentation of damaged tissues, particularly for the treatment of orthopedic and cardiovascular conditions. Orthopedic bio-implants are used in replacement procedures for the hip, spine, knee, and other extremities such as the shoulder, wrist, elbow, and ankle. Cardiovascular bio-implants include CRM devices, stents, and prosthetic heart valves.

Titanium dioxide has been used as the white pigment since the ancient times.95% of its current usage in industry involves paints, cosmetics, plastics, paper, and food. However, in near future the economic impact of titanium dioxide seems to be controlled by energy related applications mostly. Therefore, this chapter projects a brief outlook on the added value provided by the titanium dioxide structures in new and emerging technologies of the energy sector. The applications focused are: solar fuels, solar cells, fuel cells, Li ion batteries and solid state lighting. In those applications, TiO_2 standouts with its chemical and thermal stability, morphology variety, position of conduction and valance band energy levels, optical properties and cost.

Green technologies have been around since the first public health projects were set up in cities to provide people with clean drinking water. To date, a new generation of green technologies is expected to arrive, as pressures on resources grow and investors see healthy profit in a wide range of innovative products. Moreover, in an attempt to alleviate fossil fuel usage and CO_2 emissions, fuels, heat or electricity must be produced from biological sources in a way that is economic (and therefore efficient at a local scale), energetically (and greenhouse gas) efficient, environmentally friendly and not competitive with food production. Aims to advance the development of clean technologies using nanotechnology, to minimize potential environmental and human health risks associated with the manufacture and use of nanotechnology products in general, to apply nano to solve legacy environmental problems, and to encourage replacement of existing products with new nanoproducts, bionanotechnology, a new crosscutting technology platform, will build an environmentally sustainable society in the 21st century. Therefore, aim to provide vital information about the growing field of nanomaterials formed by green nanotechnology for bioapplication to minimize the potential human health and environmental risk, the technologies included author's own research (such as nanoparticles/NPs, carbon nanotubes/CNTs, and membranes) based on bionanotechnology for the friendly environment are reviewed. Furthermore, the current development and future prospects related to the significantly feasible world's eco-bionanotechnology for the foreseeable future are also pointed out.

In this chapter, a detailed discussion on the salient features of structures of biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids is presented. Intermolecular interactions leading to phase separation, coacervation and nano-particle formation is discussed herein. Biomolecular solutions exist as gels, coacervates, dispersions and melts with each of these phases having its signature physico-chemical properties, which is discussed in this chapter. The discussions are supported by robust experimental data obtained from an array of methods like turbidimetry, elecrophoresis, viscosity, light scattering etc. The inevitability of the phenomenon of self-organization in biopolymers results in the generation of a variety of soft matter phases which do not, however, make it predictable. For instance, the associative aggregation is a process which remains obscure, as every protein aggregates in a different manner under different conditions. One known feature to the aggregation of proteins is the strong dependence upon pH, salt concentration and temperature. Beyond the influence of these factors and their effects on aggregation, the process is not well understood. An increase in protein usage in biomedical and pharmaceutical studies implicates protein aggregation in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other diseases, and have placed a growing importance upon understanding this behaviour in general. Comparison of the system to other protein-polyelectrolyte systems suggests that the preferential binding of the two could be a result of complexation of the two molecules which often lead to coacervation. Such association can even occur at pH greater than the isoelectric points (pI), when the net charge of protein is of the same sign as that of polyelectrolyte. Such binding though prevalent in nature is not well understood. In summary, a comprehensive account of biomolecular phase states and their inherent attributes are presented in this review.
