Thanks to a new study from Columbia Engineering School, USA it may now be possible to diagnose non-periodic arrhythmias noninvasively and at low cost within a single heartbeat. Non-periodic arrhythmias include atrial and ventricular fibrillation, which are associated with severely abnormal heart rhythm that can in some cases be life-threatening. Using Electromechanical Wave Imaging (EWI), […]
Proton therapy, a type of external beam radiation therapy, is a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer, according to two new studies. In the first study, researchers at the University of Florida in Jacksonville, Fla., prospectively studied 211 men with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk prostate cancer. The men were treated with proton therapy, a […]
A recent report in The Lancet has concluded that blood pressure should be measured in both arms as the difference between left and right could indicate underlying health problems such as vascular disease. Dr Christopher Clark and colleagues, from the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Exeter, reviewed 28 previous study […]
Though pacemakers require only small amounts of energy (about 1 millionth of a Watt), their batteries have to be replaced periodically, which means multiple surgeries for patients. Researchers have searched for ways to prolong battery life — trying to generate energy to power a pacemaker using blood sugar, or the motion of the hands and […]
The market for electronic health technology or eHealth is growing fast in the European Union. This is largely due to the unstoppable demand for mobile health devices which help patients to monitor their health, communicate with their doctors and store medical records. Meanwhile, the EU institutions are trying to speed up legislation to boost growth […]
The driving bass rhythm of rap music can be harnessed to power a new type of miniature medical sensor designed to be implanted in the body. Acoustic waves from music, particularly rap, were found to effectively recharge the pressure sensor. Such a device might ultimately help to treat people stricken with aneurisms or incontinence due […]
A powerful new imaging technique called High Definition Fibre Tracking (HDFT) will allow doctors to clearly see for the first time neural connections broken by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological disorders, much like X-rays show a fractured bone, according to researchers from the University of Pittsburgh. In the report, the researchers describe the […]
A team of 18 researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa have found that treating high-risk, soft tissue sarcoma patients with a combination of implanted dendritic cells (immune system cells) and fractionated external beam radiation (EBRT) provided more than 50 percent of their trial patients with tumour-specific immune responses lasting from 11 to 42 weeks. […]
