Findings show that imperceptible vibratory stimulation applied to the soles of the feet improved balance by reducing postural sway and gait variability in elderly study participants. The vibratory stimulation is delivered by a urethane foam insole with embedded piezoelectric actuators, which generates the mechanical stimulation. The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute for […]
Scientists have developed an X-ray imaging system that enables researchers to see
A collaborative effort by scientists has led to the development of an innovative strategy that can considerably improve the capabilities of medical imaging with safer procedures for the patient.Medical imaging is a significant part of healthcare today, with imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scanning, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) […]
A new study suggests a pioneering testing technology could reduce hospital stays by up to eight days and lower annual health care costs for people with serious infections by approximately $2.2 million (
Patient testing at the point-of-care has increased dramatically in recent years, as technology makes it more convenient to test patient samples at the bedside, which produces rapid results and allows immediate action. However, the benefits of this are only true if the results are both accurate and reliable, making quality control vitally important in the […]
Dr. Amy Hair, assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, discusses the benefits of adding a cream supplement into premature infants
Survey of Swedish anesthesia personnel reveals the need to improve knowledge, particularly in elderly and fragile patients.Postsurgical cognitive side effects can have major implications for the level of care, length of hospital stay, and the patient
Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)/cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillators (CRT-Ds) have a significant role in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in high-risk patients, especially for secondary prevention, inappropriate ICD shocks are common (8-40%). They are associated with high morbidity as well. Hypothesis:Programming ICDs to increased detection intervals before therapy administration would be safe and efficacious as compared with […]
The Space GlucoseControl system (SGC) is a nurse-driven, computer-assisted device for glycemic control combining infusion pumps with the enhanced Model Predictive Control algorithm. The authors aimed to investigate the performance of the SGC in medical critically ill patients.Two open clinical investigations in tertiary centres in Graz, Austria and Zurich, Switzerland were performed. Efficacy was assessed […]
The preliminary results of a groundbreaking trial into the use of tablet-based ultrasound in emergency services vehicles have been released in late October. A total of six emergency services vehicles at Bedford, Hurst and DFW Airport Fire Departments in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area have been equipped with Samsung
