Wirelessly Connected Microimplants Enable Patient-Doctor Communication
Researchers have developed a new generation of active, wirelessly connected microimplants that could be implanted in the body for life. In addition to communicating with each other, these implants also allow the patient and doctor to communicate with the network from outside at any time. More...06 Feb 2023

First-Of-Its-Kind Technology Enables Replacement of Diseased Heart Valve without Surgery
Currently, complex open-heart surgery to repair or replace the leaky heart valve is the most effective treatment for such patients but is offered to just 2% of patients due to a high surgical risk. Now, a unique platform offers a first-of-its-kind technology for allowing implantation of a biological bioprosthesis to replace the diseased valve through catheterization only. More...06 Feb 2023

Modifying Intestinal Flora Before Surgery Reduces Postoperative Complications in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Up to 30% of all patients undergoing colorectal surgery suffer from serious complications due to poor healing of their intestinal barrier. A team of scientists has now identified two bacterial strains that directly affect whether or not anastomotic leakage, more commonly known as intestinal leakage, occurs. More...06 Feb 2023

Implantable Neuro-Chip Uses Machine Learning Algorithm to Detect and Treat Neurological Disorders
Using a combination of low-power chip design, machine learning algorithms, and soft implantable electrodes, researchers have produced a neural interface that can identify and suppress symptoms of different types of neurological disorders. More...31 Jan 2023

Customized Device to Treat Brain Aneurysms Could Reduce Risk of Recurrence
A five-year research project will lead to the design of a device that can be customized to better treat unique aneurysms which can be deadly. The researchers will use advanced biomedical 3-D printing to design and create unique, customized devices that can be tailored to the specific geometrical shape, size and location of an aneurysm.
