21. The lower limit is taken assuming that the information is classified with a single bit (0, healthy; 1, ill); while for some metabolites (like the prostate specific antigene or transaminase) this coding has a meaning, metabolites related to circadian rythm require a more accurate information (estimated in 10 bits).
22. This structure could work as described, but in higher organisms it is complicated and (in view of the key role of evolution on structure-function relationship) made more efficient by another distributed system, devoted to increase the collection efficiency catabolites and other wastes-the lymphatic system.

30. The total number of white blood cells in an adult human organism is typically of 2.0-5.5×1010.
31. In this way the total area of the circulating nanobots should be of 0.3-0.6 cm2, appreciably smaller that of ICs with giga-scale integration (GSI). Assuming the existence of a mature technology for nanobot fabrication, the cost of the entire system should thus be comparable with that of an IC with GSI complexity.

46. The central unit, in turn, will inform the person (or her or his physician) via cellular phone.
47. It is however noted that the above consideration applies to a situation where almost all nanobots are circulating. This occurrence is related to the fact that only few capillaries are decorated with a nanorobot. Quite paradoxically, the considered detection strategy works only in the early stage of the pathology and becomes progressively less effective while the disease progresses.
