Implantable Device Functions as Soft Robot for Treating Muscle Atrophy
Bioengineers have developed a mechanically active adhesive named MAGENTA, which functions as a soft robotic device, and successfully prevented and supported the recovery from muscle atrophy in an animal model. More...22 Nov 2022
Ultrasound-Guided Surgery More Effective for Treating Early Form of Breast Cancer
Using ultrasound to guide surgery for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) gives better results than the standard technique of using a wire inserted into the breast, according to new research. More...21 Nov 2022
Metal Stents or Staples That Disintegrate On Demand Could Eliminate Surgical Procedures
Researchers have taken advantage of a phenomenon that leads to fractures in metal to design medical devices such as stents that could be used inside the body and then safely broken down on demand when no longer needed. More...10 Nov 2022
Longer-Lasting Pacemaker Batteries Could Help Avoid Replacement Surgery
Researchers have come up with a way to increase the useful lifetime of nonrechargeable, or “primary,” batteries which are used for essential applications. Replacing the battery in a pacemaker or other medical implant requires a surgical procedure, so any increase in the longevity of their batteries could have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life.

Early Intervention with Catheter Cryoablation Can Halt Disease Progression in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
A new study shows that cryoballoon catheter ablation (cryoablation), a minimally invasive procedure that involves guiding a small tube into the heart to kill problematic tissue with cold temperatures, can halt disease progression in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). More...09 Nov 2022
