Robotics combined with spinal stimulation enables natural muscle activation in spinal cord injury therapy, boosting mobility and offering long-term recovery potential. Spinal cord injuries have a profound impact, often resulting in severe mobility impairments. Rehabilitation robotics—devices that assist movement during therapy—have enhanced training for individuals with these injuries. However, their
From the ancient Egyptians leveraging electric fish to alleviate headaches to the groundbreaking invention of pacemakers in the 1950s, bioelectronic medicine has traveled a long and fascinating journey. This cutting-edge field, which uses electrical signals rather than traditional drugs to diagnose and treat diseases, is now poised for a transformative
A recent study led by Rutgers University has revealed that administering more liberal blood transfusions to heart attack patients suffering from anemia can significantly reduce the risk of death within six months. Anemia, characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells, is a common complication in patients experiencing acute myocardial
Europlaz, a UK-based leader with over 40 years of expertise in the medical device and life sciences sector, has unveiled a revolutionary neonatal innovation aimed at improving care for premature and distressed newborns. The company’s latest advancement integrates a patented ‘sidestream’ CO2 sampling port into its neonatal flow sensor, enhancing
An independent, NHS-funded evaluation has validated the transformative impact of an innovative Smart Triage system on primary care delivery in England. The Groves Medical Centre, a leading family GP practice in Surrey and South West London, says it has achieved ‘unprecedented’ improvements to patient access, practice capacity and sustainable staff working
By Dr Nosa Aihie, Regional Medical Director, Offshore and Medical Services, Middle East, at International SOS Despite the unprecedented developments in the field of medical science, Hepatitis remains as one of most severe yet unrecognised global health crises, affecting millions of people. In this regard, on July 28 annually, the
A breakthrough discovery by Australian scientists is offering hope for children suffering from a rare and deadly brain tumor. Researchers studying immunotherapy for inoperable cancers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Medical Research Institute in Melbourne say the treatment is effective at treating Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). DIPG is
A recent Mayo Clinic study investigated how telehealth in palliative care may provide value for rural caregivers, healthcare teams and their patients. Palliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on relieving pain and other symptoms of a serious illness. Researchers were particularly interested in determining what billing models were
The latest special issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association showcases the remarkable progress made by ongoing research projects aimed at revolutionizing heart and brain health globally. These initiatives, funded with over $14 million in scientific grants through the American Heart Association’s Strategically Focused Health Technologies and Innovation
In a recent article published by Oxford Academic, authors discussed several ways that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could transform biomedical research and healthcare. This includes enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, improving diagnostics, identifying therapeutic targets, and enabling personalized treatment. Despite these opportunities, challenges, such as responsible and
