The brain’s own clearance mechanisms are most active during sleep. Researchers have now shown that this natural clearance process can also be enhanced while people are awake.
A team of engineers and surgeons from Johns Hopkins Medicine has published its first proof-of-concept study that shows temporarily implanting a tiny ultrasonic device into the location of a spinal cord injury can be feasible, safe and potentially useful.
Most cancer deaths are not caused by the original tumor, but by metastases, which form when cancer cells leave the original tumor and spread to other organs.
For millions of people living with diabetes, continuous glucose monitors provide a real-time picture of glucose levels, helping users manage medication, diet and day-to-day activities.
A team of physicists from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent has developed a new design for an ultrathin, forward-viewing endoscope.
Osseointegration is a reconstructive surgery for patients in which a prosthetic implant is connected directly to the bone.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer. It is difficult for surgeons to fully remove GBM because it often has microscopic “tentacles” that extend from the tumor into healthy brain tissue. GBM is also hard to treat because it creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment that helps the cancer evade immune attack and resist therapy.
Single-use device prepares motile sperm for IVF, ICSI and IUI, giving fertility labs the next evolution in sperm separation technology with advanced capabilities.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition that causes the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in a brain region called the substantia nigra.
Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patterns in measurements from a portable cuff-based blood pressure monitor and health data from a wrist-worn device may help identify when adults with stage 2 high blood pressure (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg) are at increased risk of a dangerously high blood pressure episode.
