At a time when medical imaging technology is rapidly advancing, one of the oldest materials, platinum iridium marker bands, still stands out as the gold standard in medical imaging. While more modern alternatives have been developed over recent years that offer cheaper and lighter solutions, few can match this classic material's reliability and durability. For anyone requiring precise results ...
Delays may occur for patients requiring further cardiac workup prior to surgery, however unnecessary delays should be avoided. For younger patients, especially those with high-energy trauma, swift repair helps prevent long-term functional deficits and chronic pain. ...
In most cases, snoring is reduced with the use of nasal strips as it helps to improve the airflow through the nose. Adhesive based nasal strips gently lift the nasal walls, widening the breathing passages for better breathing throughout the night. Nasal strips work well when you are snoring due to nasal congestion or narrowing nasal ...
In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, innovation and cost-efficiency are key. For healthcare providers looking to enhance patient care while managing expenses, renting mobile ECG (electrocardiogram) devices offers a compelling solution. This approach not only improves patient access to vital heart monitoring but also provides significant benefits for healthcare practices. ...

Tumor cells from primary or metastatic human cancers collected by surgery or biopsy procedures were transplanted into zebrafish. This approach provides information about the effectiveness of the treatment because the cells share the same molecular, genetic and clinical characteristics as the donor. ...
The field of medicine is constantly evolving, with new procedures and technologies emerging that improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. As these innovations advance, the materials that make them possible become increasingly important. One such group of materials, fluoropolymers, is proving to be essential for a variety of cutting-edge medical procedures. Known for their exceptional ...
Through its innovative application of this modern technology, Platinum Iridium Marker Bands not only serve as precision instruments that help physicians identify at-risk patients faster than traditional methods allow, but also vastly supplement documentation processes while streamlining treatment protocols in areas such as surgery, cardiac care wards, neonatal units and more. ...
Summary As a medical resident, investing in the right surgical loupe and LED headlight is a crucial step in ensuring precision, comfort, and long-term health. Loupes can enhance your vision, allowing you to perform procedures with greater accuracy. However, choosing the right pair requires careful consideration of several factors, such as working distance, depth of field, and magnification. For ...
Treatment options traditionally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, these approaches can be invasive and have severe side effects. ...
Posterolateral Rabbit Spinal Fusion Study I. Introduction Autologous bone has long been the gold standard for bone graft substitute in spinal fusion procedures. The limited supply and morbidity associated with using autologous graft material led to the development of alternative bone grafting materials. Bioactive glass has a long history of biomedical use and has been shown to facilitate mineral ...
Background CellRight Technologies® has developed ACTIGEN™ Verified Inductive Bone Matrix, a dehydrated, verified inductive matrix that may be hydrated with saline, blood, Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), or other cellular components in accordance with a physician’s well-informed medical judgment. The clinician may add allograft or autograft to ...
What is biofilm? Biofilms are defined as communities of micro-organisms attached to a surface, or one another, and encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS makes up the largest component of the biofilm, and in the biological environment is generally composed of polysaccharides, proteins, glycolipids, blood products, cellular debris, extracellular enzymes, metal ...
At present, some commonly used technologies for breast cancer treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. ...
Although frontline treatment of chemotherapy and surgery is often effective, with nearly all patients experiencing remission, over 80% of patients will experience disease recurrence in the first two years and ultimately die of the disease. ...
When it comes to interventional procedures, the ability to accurately and precisely target tissue structures has always been a challenge. However, in today's ever-evolving medical landscape, innovation is on the rise – one of which is platinum-iridium, marker bands. Built with advanced technology and customizable features, platinum-iridium marker bands are revolutionizing how physicians ...
Anesthetic Analgesia APIs Anesthetics are a class of strong analgesics that have strong analgesic properties without antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties and are often used to numb specific areas of the body during medical procedures or surgery. This type of compound mainly acts on the central nervous system, including morphine and morphine-like drugs, esters such as ...
This is why it is now important to make use of secure document storage services that can keep all medical records safely secure and organised. These services allow GPs surgeries, hospitals, dentists and other medical professionals to organise, scan, digitise or even destroy medical documents in a controlled area. ...
Imagine a world where diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's could be diagnosed and treated at the molecular level, long before symptoms even appear. This is the promise of fluorescent biopolymers, a revolutionary new class of materials that could transform the field of biomedical research. What Are Fluorescent Biopolymers? At their core, biopolymers are simply long chains of ...
