Implants: Conception, Development and Testing of a Medicine Product
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[02/05/2013] Implants have to combine medical and technical know-how in safe medicine products. This is why their development requires close cooperation between physicians and engineers. The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen und Umformtechnik, IWU) takes part in such cooperations: It develops new implants and improves existing technologies.Implants: Conception, Development and Testing of a Medicine Product - Read more
Tiny Surgical Tools Perform Biopsies
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[24/04/2013] By using swarms of untethered microgrippers Johns Hopkins engineers and physicians may have devised a new way to perform biopsies that could prove more effective to access narrow body conduits as well as find early signs of diseases. Tiny Surgical Tools Perform Biopsies - Read more
Greater Hospital Profit-margins
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[17/04/2013] Privately insured surgical patients who had a complication provided hospitals with a 330 percent higher profit margin than those without a complication, according to new research from Ariadne Labs. Greater Hospital Profit-margins - Read more
Drug-coated Stents Prevent Amputation
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[15/04/2013] Minimally invasive procedure proves better than surgery when angioplasty fails in patients with severely blocked leg arteries. Drug-eluting stents can keep clogged leg arteries open, preventing amputation of the leg. Drug-coated Stents Prevent Amputation - Read more
New Method Restores Grip Function
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[11/04/2013] A new method in which a number of operations are performed simultaneously can provide people with tetraplegia with a better grip function and the ability to open their hand. This method also shortens the patient’s rehabilitation period by at least three months, reveals a doctoral thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Telerobotic System Designed to Treat Better
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[05/04/2013] Although bladder cancer is the sixth most common form of cancer in the United States and the most expensive to treat, the basic method that doctors use to treat it has not changed much in more than 70 years. An interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers and doctors at Vanderbilt and Columbia Universities intends to change that situation dramatically.

More Complications Than Previously Reported
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[26/03/2013] Outcomes after surgery have always been difficult to determine. Now a new case study on more than 500 hip procedures highlights that complication rates may be even higher than previous reports, researchers say. More Complications Than Previously Reported - Read more
Preventing Dangerous Blood Clots
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[22/03/2013] New research from the University of California Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center may help clinicians determine which patients are at highest risk for post-surgical blood clots in the legs or lungs. Preventing Dangerous Blood Clots - Read more
“Blood pressure adjustment takes time”
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[22/03/2013] Electric stimulation is the artificial activation of nerves through electric current. The most widely known example from medicine may be the cardiac pacemaker. But chronic high blood pressure can also be treated with an active implant: the baroreceptor stimulator triggers a stimulus in the nervous system that causes a drop of blood pressure. “Blood pressure adjustment takes time” - Read more
Unexplained Pain by Tissue Damage
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[20/03/2013] The cause of unexplained pain among metal-on-metal hip implant patients is more likely to be tissue damage than wear of the implant, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) researchers have found. Unexplained Pain by Tissue Damage - Read more
