AI-driven model supports safer and more precise blood sugar management after heart surgery
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a machine learning tool that can help doctors manage blood sugar levels in patients recovering from heart surgery, a critical but often difficult task in the intensive care unit (ICU). The findings appear in npj Digital Medicine.

Advanced mechanical heart valve offers smoother blood flow
Associate Professor Dr. Hadi Mohammadi runs the Heart Valve Performance Laboratory at UBCO’s School of Engineering. He, along with Dr. Dylan Goode, has been testing an MHV created in their lab that may—after clinical trials—supersede mechanical valves currently available for people living with heart disease.

Medtronic pulse oximeter tech gets FDA STeP program nod
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT)+
announced today that the FDA accepted its new Nellcor technology into its STeP program.

AnX Robotica wins FDA nod for next-gen gastrointestinal motility capsule
The company said in a news release that the latest clearance marks a significant step forward in gastrointestinal (GI) motility monitoring. It offers clinicians an advanced, non-invasive tool for assessing whole-gut transit times with unmatched accuracy and patient comfort.

Dermalyser Earns CE Mark, Ushering in a New Era of AI-Powered Melanoma Detection
European regulatory approval paves the way for Dermalyser’s clinical rollout, enhancing early skin cancer diagnosis through advanced AI technology.

Flexible implant detects pain levels and delivers targeted electrical stimulation wirelessly
Researchers at the University of Southern California and other institutes recently developed a new flexible, wireless and battery-free implantable stimulator that could overcome some of the limitations of previously introduced pain-management solutions.

A chip with natural blood vessels: Researchers create miniature organ models in a rapid and reproducible manner
In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly important: by cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled microfluidic chips, it is possible to conduct research much more accurately than in experiments involving living humans or animals. These systems can be used to investigate the effects of a new drug and to better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response.

Rapid bedside test predicts sepsis with more than 90% accuracy
Canadian scientists have developed a blood test and portable device that can determine the onset of sepsis faster and more accurately than existing methods.
