Plasma Biosciences and Medicine

This book describes the updates that have been made in the field of Plasma Biosciences and Medicine over the past few years. This book provides detailed introduction and includes recent research information on plasma sources and their biological and medical applications. The opening chapters discuss plasmas physics and chemistry and plasma-activated liquids. The later part of the book discusses emerging application in medicine and biology. This book also provides valuable clinical insights into the treatment of ulcerations, wounds, cancer, dentistry, or the use of cold plasma in health and hygiene. Main target audience of this book are researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, government agencies, academicians', engineers, biologists, medical doctor, biochemists, and industries.

Covers recent updates in plasma bioscience and medicine topics Explains advanced progresses in nonthermal gas plasma technology Demonstrates topics related to cold plasma biomedical application for research, teaching, and medical care
