To overcome these challenges, IPS Therapeutique Inc. validated a novel telemetry-based technique for continuous monitoring of intrapleural pressure and respiratory patterns in conscious, freely moving rats. ...
As the new year begins, many people prioritize their health by scheduling annual physicals and medical check-ups. While these routine exams ensure overall well-being, few realize the crucial role that fluoropolymers play in modern medical technology. From diagnostic tools to life-saving devices, fluoropolymer materials contribute significantly to patient safety, hygiene, and the accuracy of ...
The evaluation of cardiovascular toxicity is a significant challenge in drug development. Preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular safety involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing a plethora of in vitro and in vivo endpoints. These assessments continuously evolve, aiming to mitigate the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity that may emerge during clinical trials. To shed light on the ...
Hypertension can be defined as a state of increased blood pressure. Increased blood pressure causes your heart to work harder just to pump a normal amount of blood through your body. This weakens your arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and, over time, hardens the blood vessels. The blood pressure of a normal individual ...
Pushers are novel descending aorta rotary pumps that directly increase renal artery pressure. Pullers reduce central venous pressures or renal venous pressures to increase renal perfusion. ...
The SIAP study investigates the effect of using Ergotrics' Inflatable Prone Support (IPS) on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during spine surgery. Study background The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the inflatable Prone Supports (IPS) to lower the IAP of patients in the prone position. Whenever the patients’ position is changed to prone, the IAP is increased due to ...
The timing of dressing changes is according to standard of care but shouldn’t exceed 7 days so the wound can be closely monitored and any observations that may arise can be managed as needed (e.g., infection, fluid collections, etc.). Apply dressings over NovoSorb BTM that: Are nonadherent against the sealing membrane Absorb mild exudate Maintain NovoSorb BTM in ...
Blood pressure tracking capabilities on Apple Watches have been a long-awaited feature, and the technology to make it happen appears to be in the works. The sensor-making company Apple partners with for its smartwatch sensors, Rockley Photonics, recently announced that initial tests of its photonics-based sensor could measure blood pressure non-invasively when worn on the wrist. ...
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as ...
Vectorious Medical Technologies today announced that the FDA has granted breakthrough device designation for the company’s left atrial pressure (LAP) monitoring device. The V-LAP system is the first digital, wireless, battery-free device that can communicate from deep within the body using high-resolution waveform morphology, according to the Tel ...
Autoclaves combine high temperature and high pressure over a period of time to disinfect and sterilize, but it’s a process that must properly executed, every time. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends monitoring three types of indicators to ensure successful sterilization. ...
While advanced devices such as pulmonary artery pressure monitors and implantable loop recorders have proven benefits in cardiovascular care, similar options do not exist for oncology. ...
Over the last couple of months, Cenofex Innovations has grown as a team (welcome Jacob and Tri!), worked with the Startup Legal Garage team to produce a FTO search, networked with key innovation, accelerator, and clinical groups, and met many amazing people. Like any medical device start-up, the number of things that need to be juggled can be dizzying at times. However, the bulk of ...
An experimental study has been conducted to study the swelling pressure behavior of expansive soil in both vertical and lateral directions simultaneously under controlled suction. A series of one-dimensional consolidation tests was carried out on compacted soil specimen using a newly developed oedometer with devices for controlling suction and measuring lateral pressure. The test results show ...
