Computer Tomography (CT) is a standard procedure in hospitals, but so far, the technology has not been suitable for imaging extremely small objects. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) describes a Nano-CT device that creates three-dimensional X-ray images at resolutions up to 100 nanometers. The first test application: Together with colleagues from […]

A review of research studies that assessed alarm accuracy and/or clinical relevance in hospitalized patients published over a 30-year period found low proportions of clinically relevant patient alarms.The findings underscore the need for more rigorous alarm intervention research as hospitals work to meet Joint Commission requirements to reduce unnecessary alarms and implement new practice standards […]
An automated text messaging system increases patient engagement with home-based exercise and promotes faster recovery after total knee or hip replacement surgery, reports a study. Patients receiving timely texts showed improvement in several key outcomes, including fewer days on opioid pain medications, more time spent on home exercises, faster return of knee motion, and higher […]
Routine oral care to treat gum disease (periodontitis) may play a role in reducing inflammation and toxins in the blood (endotoxemia) and improving cognitive function in people with liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, which is a growing epidemic in the U.S., is the presence of scar tissue on the liver. When severe, it can lead to liver […]
Researchers at Loma Linda University Health found that kidney transplantationcan be safely performed using organs testing positive for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody but negative for active viral infection. Their findings, published July 24 in the American Journal of Transplantation, could expand the number of kidneys available for those in need.“One way of increasing […]
