Clarius Unveils T-Mode™ Heart: New AI-Powered Training Tool Empowers Primary Care Physicians to Perform Cardiac Ultrasound Exams
By simplifying complex cardiac anatomy through real-time AI labeling, T-Mode™ Heart removes the training barrier to ultrasound adoption for family physicians and medical students.
Medtronic OmniaSecure™ defibrillation lead is the first lead of its kind to receive FDA approval for conduction system pacing
Built for high reliability, world’s only lumenless defibrillation lead approved for placement in the left bundle branch area
Hair-thin fiber-optic sensors could detect cancer by reading multiple biomarkers
This breakthrough could lead to next-generation medical tools that track disease, guide treatment and monitor the body in real time
World’s only deuterium-labeled guinea pig helps scientists study metabolism
The method relies on the fact that deuterium, once in the body, participates in biochemical reactions alongside ordinary hydrogen and becomes incorporated into the carbon-hydrogen bonds of organic compounds.
Mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy shows potential for major diseases
Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy.
FDA clears Varian’s TrueBeam systems for low-dose radiation therapy in osteoarthritis
Growing evidence has demonstrated that low-dose radiation can target inflammation and reduce pain for osteoarthritis patients.
7-Tesla MRI machine uncovers new insights into PTSD
Powerful brain imaging has helped uncover why people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who engage in negative self-talk may be struggling with the first line of treatment. The discovery, published in Nature Mental Health, sheds new light as to why underlying brain mechanisms mean some therapies potentially work for some people and not others, and could guide the development of more targeted treatments for PTSD.
Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring
Could wounded skin someday regrow perfectly without scars? A new study by Harvard stem cell biologists published in Cell reveals a way to fully regenerate skin by unblocking an embryonic healing mechanism that shuts off after birth. Demonstrated on mice, the study suggests a potential means to develop similar therapies in human patients.
