Improving Early-Stage Detection of Brain Injury in Athletes

Tuesday, 21 November 2017

Researchers have found a method of identifying biological markers in small amounts of blood that they believe could be used to detect diseases, infections, and medical conditions at early stages, including early detection of traumatic brain injury in athletes.

Microvascular anastomosis is the surgical joining, or coaptation, of small (sub-centimeter) veins and arteries with the aid of loupe or microscope magnifcation,This is accomplished using a microanas-tomotic coupling device (Synovis GEM Coupler) that reduces complication rates, improves patency rates, and substantially reduces the time necessary to complete the coaptation compared to manual suturing.

3D Printed Heart Valves Mimic Qualities of Real Valves

Monday, 10 July 2017

Standard medical imaging and new 3D printing technologies are being used to create patient-specific heart valve models that mimic the physiological qualities of the real valves. Their aim is to improve the success rate of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) by picking the right prosthetic and avoiding a common complication known as paravalvular leakage.

Photoacoustic Imaging Aims to Ensure Surgeons Completely Remove Cancer

Monday, 26 June 2017

Researchers report that they have developed a technology to scan a tumor sample and produce images detailed and accurate enough to be used to check whether a tumor has been completely removed. Called photoacoustic imaging, the new technology takes less time than standard analysis techniques.

Sensors and Smartphones — Simpler, More Affordable Detection of Diseases

Monday, 26 June 2017

When it comes to testing for cancer, traditional sensors can help. The challenges are that they often are bulky, expensive, nonintuitive, and complicated. Now, one team reports that portable pressure-based detectors coupled with smartphone software could provide a simpler, more affordable alternative while still maintaining sensitivity.

LED-Based Device for Imaging Radiation-Induced Skin Damage

Monday, 03 April 2017

Cancer patients who also undergo radiation therapy experience unfortunate side effects including skin irritation, and sometimes peeling and blistering. Researchers are testing a new imaging device designed to monitor, quantify, and hopefully one day predict skin toxicity levels induced by radiation therapy. Using visible and near-infrared light at very low power, the researchers are trying to characterize the skin damage during radiation therapy, especially for the treatment of breast cancer.

Ultrathin, Flat Lens Captures Chirality And Color

Thursday, 28 July 2016

Many things in the natural world are geometrically chiral, meaning they cannot be superimposed onto their mirror image. Being able to observe and analyze the chirality of an object is very important in numerous fields. However, current chiral imaging techniques to resolve polarization and spectral (color) information require multiple cascading components, leading to bulky and expensive pieces of equipment.

Cheaper, Simpler Nanomaterial for Wearable Devices

Monday, 13 June 2016

An international team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Korea University say that they have developed an ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current, while also being cheaper and simpler to produce than current materials.

Scanner Visualizes Cancer in Early Stages

Sunday, 12 June 2016

Researchers from Biomedical Image Technologies (BIT) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) are working to develop an endoscopic scanner that offers early detection of specific cancers. A miniaturized detector is introduced inside the patient's body and placed close to the organ of interest.

Introducing Zeus LCP Monofilament

LCP monofilament provides a unique non-metal alternative for catheter braiding enabling catheters to now be used under MRI. Catheters made with Zeus LCP monofilament possess exceptional torque response, pushability, and distal end deflectability. LCP monofilament eliminates the need for using x-ray and having any exposure to ionization radiation.
