In preclinical respiratory studies, traditional methods like plethysmography often require animal restraint and extensive acclimation, limiting their ability to capture dynamic respiratory changes. 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 ...
Ischaemic heart diseases continue to be a major global health concern and a leading cause of death. To develop more effective treatments, it is essential for researchers to work with animal models that closely replicate human cardiac physiology. In a notable step forward, Pius et al. present a refined, minimally invasive ovine model of ischaemia–reperfusion–infarction which ...
Since its successful development, Nitinol with unique shape-memory characteristics has been used in oral, neurosurgery, cardiovascular, thoracic surgery, otolaryngology, hepatobiliary, urology, and gynecology, etc. ...
The competitive stakes in robotic surgery have never been higher as medical device companies try to disrupt the market that Intuitive Surgical pioneered more than two decades ago. Robotic surgery pioneer Intuitive Surgical celebrated a big milestone this week: The number of robotic-assisted procedures performed worldwide using the da Vinci surgical system has ...
The robot arms move above the patient’s stomach as if guided by an invisible hand. Monitors on each side of the operating table show an oversized, 3-D image of the stomach’s interior. Two meters (about six feet) away, Dr. Markus Mille sits fully absorbed at the control ...
