Thermoanalytical Methods Applied to Medicine (Report‪)‬

INTRODUCTION Thermoanalytical methods find applications in medicine because of the ability of these techniques to examine changes in biological systems, ranging from the application of a cream or ointment for the transdermal delivery of a drug substance for systemic absorption, to the monitoring of implants or prosthetics inserted into the body. These techniques thus provide information on thermal events in biological systems that allow not only medical research to be advanced, but also any therapeutic benefits for patients to be predicted.
