OcuMet Beacon Leads to Earlier Detection of Retinal Disorders: an Interview Exclusive

OcuMet Beacon Leads to Earlier Detection of Retinal Disorders: an Interview

February 22nd, 2016 OcuSciences, based in Ann Arbor, MI, has developed an instrument that will provide information to enable earlier diagnosis of eye conditions including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Currently, in the case of diabetic retinopathy, it is only after being diagnosed with diabetes that a patient will begin to have...
MobiusHD Awarded EU CE Mark of Approval to Treat Hypertension Cardiology

MobiusHD Awarded EU CE Mark of Approval to Treat Hypertension

January 11th, 2016 The MobiusHD implant, developed by Vascular Dynamics, was awarded a CE mark last week to allow its introduction in Europe.  This device, which is implanted into the carotid sinus during a minimally-invasive procedure, is intended to help patients with drug-resistant hypertension by encouraging the body’s natural mechanisms to...

Noctura 400 Sleep Mask Helps Diabetic Patients Keep Their Eyesight

December 17th, 2015 Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness for adults between the ages of 20 and 64 in the United States.  As a patient's diabetes progresses, the blood circulation worsens and the supply of oxygen to the retina is compromised.  The retina is especially oxygen-starved at night since the rods, which are used primarily...
MIT Researchers Developing Method for Non-Invasive ICP Measurement Using Ultrasound Neurosurgery

MIT Researchers Developing Method for Non-Invasive ICP Measurement Using Ultrasound

November 19th, 2015 Measurement of a patient's intracranial pressure (ICP) has the potential to be a critical component in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with a wide variety of conditions from traumatic brain injury to malaria.  However today, ICP is only measured in very sick patients since current methods are very invasive, requiring a...
CircumBlator Catheter for More Effective Ablation of Atrial Tissue Cardiac Surgery

CircumBlator Catheter for More Effective Ablation of Atrial Tissue

November 18th, 2015 One method for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ablation, where tissue around the connections between the left atrium and the pulmonary veins is ablated.  This tissue is commonly responsible for creating and propagating the irregular signals that disrupt normal heart rhythms in AF.  During...
MobileODT Brings Cervical Cancer Diagnostics to Remote Places Net News

MobileODT Brings Cervical Cancer Diagnostics to Remote Places

October 20th, 2015 Early detection significantly improves the survival rates for cervical cancer patients. Cervical cancer used to be one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the US, but mortality rates have declined significantly in the last 40 years due in part to better compliance with regular cervical cancer screening. Regular pap smear testing...
New Microfluidic Oxygenator Offers Improvements Over ECMO Anesthesiology

New Microfluidic Oxygenator Offers Improvements Over ECMO

October 1st, 2015 Lung failure is typically addressed through the use of mechanical ventilation, but potential complications include collapsed lungs, airway injury, and diaphragm atrophy. An alternative is extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where blood is circulated outside of the body, undergoes gas exchange in an ‘artificial lung’, and is...
3D Printed Guides Used for Complex Nerve Regeneration, May Treat Spinal Injuries Neurosurgery

3D Printed Guides Used for Complex Nerve Regeneration, May Treat Spinal Injuries

September 24th, 2015 The human body is rarely able to repair nerve damage on its own, so often the best treatment for patients with nervous system injuries is to prescribe physical and occupational therapy to help the patient adapt to their permanent limitations. Several methods for nerve regeneration have been successful but only for limited applications....
Mayo Clinic Researchers Reprogram Cancer Cells to Stop Them from Multiplying News

Mayo Clinic Researchers Reprogram Cancer Cells to Stop Them from Multiplying

September 14th, 2015 One deadly and defining characteristic of cancerous cells is that they divide in an unregulated manner, allowing the tumor to grow larger and become more disruptive to the body. Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Florida, led by Panos Anastasiadis and Antonis Kourtidis, have identified a critical difference between cancerous cells and...

The Z-lig Tendon Paves The Way for Xenographic ACL Transplants

September 9th, 2015 Aperion Biologics has taken major steps towards making xenografts a competitive alternative for use in the nearly one million ACL reconstruction surgeries performed globally every year. A xenograft is tissue taken from one species and transplanted into another, however they are not commonly used since there is a high risk that the...
