The article talks about the use of nanomedicine in cancer therapy. It mentions the research of Ho who studies the nanomedicine with his teams in order to make cancer easier to be detected. The article also mentions that if the computation-based design methods combine with nanomedicine, it will improve the effective and safety of cancer treatments. The author also conveys that the nanomedicine is still in a development stage where nothing is uncertain, however, the use of nanoparticle as a drug delivery is a marvelous beginning for the use of nanomedicine in cancer therapy in the future. In general, the nanomedicine will be used as a cancer therapeutic in the nearly future because people believe it will a beneficial treatment for human.

Different from other article, this author talks mainly about the ethical issues of nanomedicine. The author expresses his concern about the nature of nanomedicine where he believes it is related to the ethic challenges that human face. In the article, risks about the nanomedicine is mentioned, the risk of moral blindness, and the question about the nanomedicine and its uniqueness. The author provides more negative views about the nanomedicine than many other authors when he mainly talks about the health risk, the moral risk, and the practice risk because nanomedicine is a new developed technology. He tends to inform the knowledge for everyone, especially, people with the same opinion on the nanomedicine.

This journal’s topic is nanomedicine and different from other documents, this document only talks about the detail of the machine rather than talking about its application on human. It describes closely how the nanomedicine machine involves over time and its components. The purpose of this journal is to help people have a better view about the nanomedicine and understands how it works. The author wants to inform the audience about the technology with the neutral tone, he does not take side like any other authors when they talk about the nanomedicine. This article provides the detail information about the machine from the closely observations of the researchers. With this journal, it has helped me to learn about its mechanisms and how it works, therefore, I can write with more understanding.

Like other documents, this article mainly talks about the nanomedicine and its applications. It first provides details about what the nanomedicine is. Then the author talks about its applications in medical, the problems or issues with nanomedicine, the precautionary when an individual use nanomedicine, and the future use of nanomedicine. Different from other articles, this also include the recommendation for further studies to enhance the application of the nanomedicine in the healthcare. The article focuses mainly on the issues that the nanomedicine brings rather than its benefits. Following the problem issue, the author discusses how people should acknowledge the nanomedicine as a new device and be more careful. This article provides many useful and basic information about the nanomedicine that helps me to understand more about the topic.

In this article, the author mentions to Professor Bao, who is conducting his research about the nanomedicine in children disease. Unlike other articles when it talks about nanomedicine in general, the author of this mainly talks about a specific application of the nanomedicine in children only. They believe that the nanomedicine will play a major role in the treatment for pediatric diseases. This article wants to inform the audiences who cares about the nanomedicine topic, other scientists and researchers, and physicians. The author also conveys the further use of the nanomedicine such as treatment for cardiovascular disease, the development of treating single gene disorders, etc. Beside the basic function that the nanomedicine can operate, this article believes that the nanomedicine can function more jobs. This document helps me to understand the future use of the nanomedicine.

In the article, the author only talks about the nanotechnology using for drug delivery rather than talk about a specific nanomedicine. He first describes the nano system, then he explains more carefully of how it is used to delivery drug in human body. The author mentions how the nanotechnology needs to be approved by the FDA, therefore, in this article, the author uses persuasive tone mostly. He observes carefully the use of nanomedicine as a drug delivery. Instead of talking about the cancer therapeutic function like other documents, this article goes deeply into how the nanomedicine work as a drug delivery. The author tries to inform people with the application of the nanomedicine and he supports the use of the it in the medical field.
