INTRODUCTION
Nanotechnology- the engineering of tiny machines that deals with the design and manufacture of extremely small electronic circuits at the molecular level of matter and vastly directed towards medical applications.
Nanorobots - tiny nanoscale devices that may be used to perform a variety of tasks very accurately and in lesser time.
Nanorobots for researchers in the medical industry has given rise to the field of nanomedincine.
Heart blocks are becoming one of the major diseases among the people of today’s world, with a variety of reasons for occurrence, ranging from lack of exercise to smoking and drinking.
Today’s technology promises a lot more than the insertion of a thin tube into your blood vessels to cure heart blocks using Angioplasty.
Nanorobots can be effectively used in this process of curing the heart blocks.
CHOLESTROLS
The cholesterols are chemical compounds of glycerol and
unsaturated acid.
1)Low density lipids (LDL).
2)High density lipids (HDL).
The HDLs are basically harmless ,stable , disposed off by the body effectively and do not stick to the walls of the blood vessels.
These LDLs or ‘bad cholesterols’ get accumulated on the walls of the blood vessels and make the blood vessels loose their elastic, resulting in decreasing the ability of blood vessels to keep up with the pressure variations of the blood.
ANGIOGRAM
The LDL’s form a lump and close in on the diameter of the blood vessel , decreasing the diameter of the blood vessel .The intensity of this problem is measured by a method known as Angiogram.
A small tube of diameter of about a few micrometers with a catheter at the end is introduced into the veins up to the pericardium.
This catheter injects a radioactive fluid into the blood stream, the flow of which is monitored by a continuous X-ray.
Once the block has been located, it is removed by a method known as Angioplasty.
THE ACTUAL PROCESS
The types of nanorobots needed for the process.
The coustic sensors in the sensor robots get activated and begin navigating the army of robots through the blood stream to the pericardium.
This is very essential in order to guide all the nanorobots to the desired location.
The sensor robots perform the most sophisticated type of diagnosis known, i.e. diagnosis from the inside of the human body.
The second confirmation comes from the chemo sensors.
These sensors scan the region they traverse, for the chemical composition of the cholesterols.
Moreover , there is literally zero damage to the surrounding healthy tissues.
CONCLUSION
Even though this may seem to most of them like a fairy tale, the days of implementation of these devices are not far off.
The machines needed to fabricate these nanorobots are yet to be visualized.
Let us hope that this technology also will one day, become as successful and dominating like aviation today.
