Last year, during Black History Month, our team at MedSource Labs took a closer look at the world of medical illustration and the ongoing efforts to address the lack of diversity in the field. We were inspired by the work of medical illustrators who are breaking barriers and ensuring that healthcare visuals represent the full spectrum of patients they serve.

Therefore, we are responding to the urgent humanitarian need for diabetes health medical supplies resulting from the invasion of Ukraine. As part of our longstanding commitment to supporting numerous relief efforts around the world, LifeScan is working with the non-profit humanitarian organization, Direct Relief, to respond to the urgent need to supply ...

Sawhney’s newest hydrogel company, Instylla Inc., founded in 2017, is addressing interventional oncology with a hydrogel-based liquid for tumor embolization, a therapy that shrinks tumors by blocking their blood supply. Instylla also has a side gig in hemorrhage control, a second early market for its technology. ...
"To our knowledge, this pilot is the first demonstration of the clinical efficacy of injecting bone marrow aspirate in areas surrounding the disc, thereby repairing, remodeling and improving the blood supply around the disc and lower back area. We believe StemSpine® represents an attractive non-surgical option for many of the millions of Americans who suffer ...
"To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the clinical efficacy of injecting bone marrow aspirate into areas surrounding the disc, which may repair, remodel and improve the blood supply around the disc and lower back area.

Hypervascular tumors occur in both benign and malignant states and are characterized by blood supply from an abnormally large number of blood vessels. Microspheres embolization reduces or eliminates the blood flow to these tumors and is an effective interventional radiology therapy for treating this disease state. ...
In AF, the upper chambers (atria) of the heart contract irregularly.5 As a result, the atria do not empty completely, and blood does not flow properly, potentially allowing blood clots to form. These blood clots can break loose and travel to the brain, resulting in a stroke.6 About Stroke Stroke is the second most common cause of death ...

SHR differs from traditional Laser/IPL it also targets the hair stem cells and blood supply that feeds it. It does not rely solely on the colour (pigment) of the hair to effectively destroy the targeted hair follicle. ...
Severe peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is caused by the formation of blockages in arteries, which reduces blood supply to the brain, heart, kidneys and limbs causing strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure and limb amputations. ...
This investigational gene therapy is designed to activate naturally occurring biological pathways by creating new vessels to improve blood flow to areas of the heart not receiving adequate blood supply. This restored blood supply could potentially improve patients’ quality of life by enabling them to resume ...
Myocardial infarction occurs after the patient has undergone stenting. If the blocked blood vessel is pierced with a fine wire mesh, a large amount of blood is supplied to the stopped heart. ...
This prospective, single-arm multicenter study demonstrated that Embrace HES effectively embolized malignant and benign hypervascular tumors by blocking tumor blood supply with technical success and persistent embolization,[i] as noted in imaging follow-up at 30-days, in all eight patients treated on this study. ...
James McCully, a cellvie AG co-founder, developed the approach at Harvard Medical School to ameliorate ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is the tissue damage caused when the blood supply returns after a period of ischemia. "What Jim observed in conditions of ischemia and reperfusion, like a heart attack, is that the mitochondria within the cells get damaged due ...
As demonstrated previously in the completed First-in-Human (FIH) study, Embrace HES was effective at embolizing malignant and benign hypervascular tumors by blocking tumor blood supply with complete technical success and persistent embolization[i] as noted in imaging follow up at 30-days. ...
This type of stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a clot forms inside a vessel supplying blood to the brain, where aspiration and mechanical thrombectomy are common treatments. These procedures involve inserting a catheter into an artery in the arm or groin and moving it towards the blood clot under X-ray guidance. The clot may be ...

” Each of the three main arteries supplying blood to the cardiac musculature, branches into progressively smaller vessels that eventually penetrate the cardiac musculature. Occlusion of these small vessels (coronary microvascular disease) can diminish blood flow to the heart leading to chest pain or shortness of breath, as well as diffuse ...
XC001 is an investigational novel gene therapy designed to activate naturally occurring biological pathways to improve blood flow to areas of the heart not receiving adequate blood supply. ...
In the case of myocardial infarction, it occurs after a patient undergoes a stent procedure. When the clogged blood vessels are pierced with a fine wire mesh, a large amount of blood is supplied to the stopped heart. ...
It doesn’t really get any respect and a lot of people believe the aorta is just a conduit for carrying blood and no big deal. Any conduit will work. We’re discovering as we spend time and understand an aorta and the function better, that it’s much more than just a conduit for blood. A healthy, compliant aorta that’s able to beat and ...
These materials do not permanently occlude blood vessels supplying healthy tissue and may allow for better restoration of artery integrity after embolization compared to permanent microspheres and gels. ...
