Surgeon uses magnetic tools to reduce incisions in cancer surgery

Nearly two decades ago, Dr. Jeffrey Cadeddu was watching TV when a lightbulb went off.  The program showed teens using magnetic studs to avoid piercings in their lips, and Dr. Cadeddu, a surgeon, realized the same principle could be applied to his work, reducing the number of incisions and resultant scars.This summer Dr. Cadeddu performed […]

Researchers change clinical practice for infants with diabetes

Infants with diabetes can drop insulin syringes. Researchers from Bergen and Exeter have been leading the work, which causes children worldwide to replace insulin syringes with tablets. "All infants diagnosed with diabetes before 6-7 months of age should be given a rapid gene test to change treatment as soon as possible from insulin to sulfonylurea […]

Ultra ultrasound to revolutionise technology

A new and extremely sensitive method of measuring ultrasound could revolutionise everything from medical devices to unmanned vehicles. Researchers at The University of Queensland have combined modern nanofabrication and nanophotonics techniques to build the ultraprecise ultrasound sensors on a silicon chip. Professor Warwick Bowen, from UQ’s Precision Sensing Initiative and the Australian Centre for Engineered […]

Abbreviated breast MRI may be additional screening option for dense breasts

Among women with dense breast tissue, for whom traditional mammograms are less effective at detecting cancer, who request additional screening after a negative mammogram, abbreviated breast MRI (AB-MR) may be a valuable cancer detection tool. In a study of 195 asymptomatic women with dense breast tissue who had a negative mammogram within the previous 11 […]

Hospital superbug uses tiny sticky fingers to infect medical tools and devices

The antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacterium is one of the most globally harmful bacteria that causes nosocomial infections. Researchers at the University of Turku have discovered that the bacterium attaches to plastic medical devices using tiny finger-like structures. The researchers were able to develop antibodies that prevent the bacterial spread. Infections related to hospitals and medical […]

Bioethicists call for oversight of direct-to-consumer “neurotechnologies”

The marketing of direct-to-consumer “neurotechnologies” can be enticing: apps that diagnose a mental state, and brain devices that improve cognition or “read” one’s emotional state. However, many of these increasingly popular products aren’t fully supported by science and have little to no regulatory oversight, which poses potential health risks to the public. In a new […]

Scientists take big step toward finding non-addictive pain killer

With the support of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, scientists at Wake Forest School of Medicine have been working to find a safe, non-addictive pain killer to help fight the current opioid crisis in the US.And they may have done just that, though in an animal model.Known as AT-121, the new chemical compound has […]
