Welcome to Biomedicine & Prevention

Biomedicine & Prevention is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles in several areas of the life sciences. The journal’s Editorial Board covers several subject areas mainly focusing on prevention and health promotion. Prevention is covered not as an exclusive health competence discipline but in a holistic way, including environmental sciences, engineering, physics, legal implications and legislation.

Biomedicine and Prevention: a Public Health perspective

The twentieth century has been characterized by virulent debates about the causal role of environmental vs. genetic determinants of diseases. At times, these diatribes turned more into ideological rather than scientific face-offs. However, today we are more aware that the large majority - if not all - disease processes, as well as human differences, are determined by both genetics and environment.

The Molecular Pathology between Prevention and Care: the New Renaissance of Anatomic Pathology

The history of Anatomic Pathology is a fundamental part of the history of modern medicine. Giovanni Battista Morgagni and Rudolf Virchow, the fathers of modern medicine, were pathologists1. At the present, the Anatomic Pathology is based on multiple activities aimed to patients’ diagnostic care. The classical pathological results was based on ancillary macroscopic and microscopic diagnosis of the diseases, by using traditional methods of morphological investigation in order to identify the relationship between the pathogenic mechanisms and clinical experience – the so-called “evidence-based medicine”.
