Hip fractures are common, especially in older adults, and require timely medical and surgical intervention. These injuries can significantly impact a patient’s mobility, quality of life, and overall health. Hip fractures are a medical emergency, and delayed treatment can lead to severe consequences. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from prolonged immobility, ...
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. ...

Cancer is a worldwide disease and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality today. Traditionally, mouse models have been used for research as in vivo model organisms. However, the zebrafish (Danio rerio), also known as zebrafish, has emerged as an important new cancer model due to its small size, brood weight, and rapid maturation time, complements models that can traditionally be ...
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 ...
Doctors and nurses have long relied on tried-and-true medical technologies to care for their patients, but the ever-increasing focus on patient safety has made innovation in this field a priority. One growing technology is the use of marker bands, which are platform agnostic data capture tools (e.g., barcodes or RFID) used to monitor patient conditions accurately and efficiently. Through its ...
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 ...
Brain tumors can be broadly categorized into primary and secondary (or metastatic) tumors. Primary tumors originate in the brain1, while secondary tumors spread from other body parts. Treatment options traditionally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, these approaches can be invasive and have severe side effects. The battle against brain tumors is being ...
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 ...
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both men and women but is more common in women. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast, including the tubes that carry milk to the nipple or the lobules that produce milk. The exact cause of breast cancer is not completely understood, but factors such as genetics, hormone situations, ...
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 ...
This white paper details a study by Predictive Oncology and UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. By combining the assets and domain expertise of both organizations, this collaboration aimed to improve ovarian cancer prognosis and treatment through accurate patient stratification and survival outcome predictions. Background and objective High grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of the ovary is a complex and ...
These tiny markers provide clear identification of the exact location where the treatment needs to be performed, allowing surgeons to access the area with greater accuracy. The best part is that these bands require only a minimally invasive procedure to apply and can stay in place for months or even years. ...
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are biologically active components in pharmaceutical drugs, responsible for the intended therapeutic effects. APIs are prepared through chemical synthesis or biotechnology, meeting stringent quality standards and regulatory requirements. We maintain a professional attitude and ensures the effectiveness and safety of our APIs product. APIs combine with ...
There are a lot of documents that we don’t need to keep, but when it comes to medical records, we need to make sure that these are held on to for a specific amount of time. In this article, Rads Document Storage take a look at how long you need to keep medical records for, and the best way to do this. What are medical records? Medical records can cover a wide number of things. Not only ...
Under near-infrared light, those cells would light up like beacons, allowing doctors to see the exact location and extent of the tumor. This could enable surgeons to remove the cancer with unprecedented precision, reducing the risk of leaving behind malignant cells that could seed new tumors. ...
