Completely paralyzed man voluntarily moves his legs
A 39-year-old man who had had been completely paralyzed for four years was able to voluntarily control his leg muscles and take thousands of steps in a
Silk bio-ink could help advance tissue engineering with 3-D printers
Advances in 3-D printing have led to new ways to make bone and some other relatively simple body parts that can be implanted in patients. But finding an ideal bio-ink has stalled progress toward printing more complex tissues with versatile functions
Pulses for better posture
In an effort to find a better treatment for spinal curvature in children and young people, the EU
Ultrasound pilot study shows positive results for treatment of pancreatic cancer
Tiny gas microbubbles can enhance the delivery and absorption of cancer drugs in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, according to a new pilot study. The study was described at the International Contrast Ultrasound Society (ICUS) annual conference in Chicago.One year after their last treatment cycle, two of 10 patients are still alive. 74 percent of […]
Robotically steered flexible needles navigate tissue
Robotically steering flexible needles can reach their intended target in tissue with sub-millimetre level accuracy. This has been demonstrated by the doctoral research of Momen Abayazid, who is affiliated with the research institute MIRA of the University of Twente. A major advantage of steering flexible needles is that one can avoid obstacles or sensitive tissues […]

Study shows ultrasound to detect early signs of preterm labour
Researchers from North Carolina State University, Institut Langevin and Paris-Descartes University have conducted a proof-of-concept study that raises the possibility of using ultrasound techniques to detect cervical stiffness changes that indicate an increased risk of preterm labour in pregnant women. While additional work needs to be done, it may ultimately give doctors a new tool […]
Algorithm interprets breathing difficulties
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an efficient algorithm that can interpret the wheezing of patients with breathing difficulties to give medical providers information about what
