The brain as game controller
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have enabled the brain with a new, non-muscular communication and control channel, a direct interface for conveying messages and commands to the external world. The ability to communicate and control devices using one's thoughts without the need for motor movements is suitable for a broad range of medical applications, such as in assisting locked-in patients or ...

Bioactive compounds obtained by immobilisation of serine protease inhibitors
We studied the preparation of polymeric membranes formed of solutions of poly–3–hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and chitosan. PHB–chitosan biomaterials from these solutions may form various structural types, which determine the biodegradation time, the adsorption capacity, and the kinetics of the release of medicinal compounds from polymeric matrices. Serine protease inhibitors, SERPINs, continue to catch ...

Cold atmospheric plasma shows promise to help fight the spread of COVID-19
Plasma is one of the four basic states of matter. Cold atmospheric plasma is an ionized room-temperature gas. Though it is a relatively new technology, plasma has been proven to be effective in multiple different medical applications including in cancer treatments, wound healing, dentistry and more. Researchers at UCLA used an atmospheric pressure plasma jet to spray surfaces that were ...

How the sponge toothbrush works ?
The Sponge Toothbrush cleans all your teeth perfectly by biting and grinding in just a few seconds. It is the result of more than 10 years of designing and manufacturing high-tech toothbrushes. Scientific studies have shown that traditional toothbrushes clean up to 70% and only when used correctly for 2-3 minutes. They don't reach all spaces and most people don't use the correct technique and ...

Into the future with breath analysis
Human breath contains up to a thousand volatile organic compounds that, when analysed, can tell a story about a body’s state of health. These chemical compounds reflect the end processes of metabolic pathways. Patterns of compound peaks form ‘signatures’ when breath is analysed into its components and it is these signatures that allow for disease conditions to be identified. ...

Why is Nafion Tubing the solution to moisture in Pulmonary Function Testing?
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...

Overview of Nitinol Material
Titanium nickel alloy, also known as Nitinol, is a binary alloy composed of nickel and titanium. The atomic percentages of these two elements are approximately equal. Austenitic phase and martensite phase Due to changes in temperature and mechanical pressure, Nitinol has two different crystal structure phases, namely an austenite phase and a martensite phase. In Nitinol, austenite is called the ...

Synthesis of high aspect ratio gold nanorods and their effects on human antigen presenting dendritic cells
High aspect ratio (AR) gold nanorods (NRs) attract great interest for biomedical applications due to their novel physicochemical properties. Here, we report a facile method for preparation of high AR gold NRs through a seedless surfactant-mediated protocol with the additive of nitric acid. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies showed that the concentration of nitric acid has ...

Dental drilling in severe and demanding environments
The application of diamond coatings on dental cutting tools has been the subject of attention in order to improve cutting performance and life in orthodontic applications. In order to improve the adhesion between diamond and WC-Co substrates, it is necessary to etch cobalt from the surface and prepare it for subsequent diamond growth. Alternatively, a Titanium Nitride (TiN) interlayer can be used ...

New Method to Produce Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymers with Facile Degradability
A team of chemists at MIT has formulated a method to produce polymers that can disintegrate more readily in the body as well as in the environment. A new type of polymer designed by MIT chemists incorporates a special monomer (yellow) that helps the polymers to break down more easily under certain conditions. (Image credit: Demin Liu) A chemical reaction known as ring-opening metathesis ...

Biopharma PEG Provides Multi-arm PEG Derivatives Crosslinked Into Hydrogels
Polyethylene (ethylene glycol) is a hydrophilic polymer that can have a very high water content when cross-linked into a network. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a suitable material for biological applications because it does not normally elicit an immune response. Since the 1970s, PEG has been used to modify therapeutic proteins and peptides in order to increase their solubility, reduce their ...
