Dr. Dickson Bandoh, a neurosurgeon based in Kumasi, Ghana, notes that his SurgiTel surgical loupes, acquired during neurosurgical training, have become integral to daily practice over the past five years.In neurosurgery, precision begins with vision. The loupes bring the surgical field into clear view, delivering enhanced magnification, clarity, and control where millimeter-scale accuracy ...
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a remarkable type of stem cell found in various tissues, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. These cells have garnered significant attention in the field of regenerative medicine and therapeutic research due to their unique properties and potential applications. Characteristics of hMSCs hMSCs possess the ability to differentiate into ...
Custom mRNA production has emerged as a cutting-edge technology in the field of molecular biology, offering researchers the ability to tailor-make specific messenger RNA molecules for various applications such as vaccine development, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine. This innovative process holds great promise in unlocking new possibilities in scientific research, paving the way for ...
The process of iPSC differentiation to neurons and neuronal cells is of special importance for neurobiology and related disorders, considering the dearth of clinically relevant in vitro models available for research, drug screening and development, as well as the lack of therapy to reverse neuronal damage. Benefits and advantages of iPSC differentiation to neural stem cells (NSC), neurons and ...
The Hargreaves test is one of the classic experiments used to detect thermal pain responses in rodents. The test is commonly used to quantify the thermal threshold to radiation or infrared thermal stimulation in the hind paw of mice and rats. In the Hargreaves test, a radiant or infrared heat source is usually placed underneath the rodent and aimed at the plantar surface of the rodent's hind ...
User A young man (28 years old) who is confined to a wheelchair after a car accident or spinal cord injury. In addition to motor problems, he has mainly speech and memory problems, which significantly isolates him socially. ...
The spinal cord is to relay messages between the brain and the rest of the boy. When spinal cord injury happens the body may lose some essential functions if the nerves can’t communicate with the brain. Inadequate bladder management of spinal cord injury (SCI) results in medical complications, psychological stress and even mortality. Frequent leakage of urine causes soiling of clothes ...
In April of this year, prior to the beginning of our International Conference in Toronto, I had the rare opportunity to meet for several hours with Tiina Karu, Mary Dyson, Shimon Rochkind, Chukuka Enwemeka and several other leading authorities involved in the field of laser technology. Whereas their interests encompass basic research, pathology, tissue response mechanisms and clinical ...
Treatment for shoulder pain Gabi Zeilig, MD, Dept of Neurological Rehabilitation The Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel. Purpose of the study: to test the efficacy of the TerraQuant medical device on shoulder pain resulting from inflammation (OA, Tendonitis, Bursitis). Background: TerraQuant is a unique device which combines low level pulse laser therapy (LLLT), pulsating ...
At Tubus Technology we believe that all people should have the same opportunities. That includes opportunities online in an ever-evolving digital world. If you’re suffering from physical limitations in your upper limps you know that is difficult. In this article we review some of the different diagnoses that cause paralyzation in arms and hands. Then we assess some of the assistive ...
An injury to your spinal cord changes your life dramatically. Paralysis in both arms and legs forces you to come to terms with your body that no longer functions like it used to. You’ll have to rethink how you go about those daily activities that’s easily taken for granted - how you work, eating dinner, using the bathroom and using technological devices like the phone, tablet or ...
Mike Birbiglia is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. He has released several comedy albums, including My Secret Public Album and Thank God for Jokes. In 2005, he was diagnosed with REM sleep behavior disorder. He went to a sleep specialist and was diagnosed after jumping out of a second-story window while dreaming. He has stated that acting out his dreams usually involves fleeing from ...

Abstract Cellular function in tissue is dependent on the local environment, requiring new methods for spatial mapping of biomolecules and cells in the tissue context1. The emergence of spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping2,3,4,5, but the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information of tissue at the cellular level and genome scale is lacking. Here we ...
Pheezee Pheezee is a pocket size wearable device by startoon labs that can be worn by the patient while doing physiotherapy sessions. The device gives a real time biofeedback of range of motion and electromyogram (EMG) of the recruited muscle. The device connects wirelessly to an android phone/tablet to display reports. The physiotherapist can see session wise, week wise, month wise and ...
What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis? Lumbar spinal stenosis, or LSS, is a common condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. Lumbar spinal stenosis is generally caused by aging and natural wear and tear on the spine. With lumbar spinal stenosis, thickened ligament, overgrowth of bone, and/or bulging discs in the lower back put pressure on the ...
What is CRPS Complex regional pain syndrome, formerly RSD, is a rare but extremely complex and serious pain condition. While it might only affect about 200,000 people in the United States, those who suffer from it experience excruciating pain and often debilitating side effects. There is no cure yet, but there are multiple treatment options offering varying degrees of relief. CRPS can cause ...

In medicine, taking a holistic approach means treating the whole person - body, mind, spirit, and emotions - to achieve one’s optimal health and wellness. For example, if a patient comes in with a sharp, jabbing pain in his hand - a symptom of peripheral neuropathy - a holistic treatment plan may not only include pain relief medicine but also address underlying causes of pain. A holistic ...
Neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) with symptoms of constipation and fecal incontinence is a common complication of traumatic spinal cord injury. In a new study, the aim was to identify factors that could predict the recovery of independent bowel function to assist clinicians in their prognosis of bowel function and to guide them to bowel management strategies useful for the patient. Bowel ...
