A new discovery from researchers at McMaster University could be a major breakthrough in battling obesity and diabetes. The team is hoping its discovery can lead to a pill or patch that woul... Read more
Invention Monitors an Important New Vital Sign A disposal, plastic listening device that attaches to the abdomen may help doctors definitively determine which post-operative patients should... Read more
Doctors and scientists in Southampton have completed their first hip surgery with a 3D printed implant and bone stem cell graft. The 3D printed hip, made from titanium, was designed using th... Read more
Prototyping costs have been cut by 96 percent via 3D printing During surgery, patients’ blood is often “spilt.” Such blood can be returned to the body, so long as it has be... Read more
Johns Hopkins researchers have devised a computerized process that could make minimally invasive surgery more accurate and streamlined using equipment already common in the operating room. I... Read more
High-tech glasses developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help surgeons visualize cancer cells, which glow blue when viewed through the eyewear. The wearable t... Read more
If the open-source approach to building robot surgeons can cut costs and improve performance, patients will increasingly find them at the other end of the scalpel For much of its brief histo... Read more
Researchers at the UPM are involved in the design of a robotic arm for precise guidance of the insertion of needles, catheters and surgical instruments in procedures of minimally invasive su... Read more
A camera makes hidden tumors visible during an operation Cancer patients have the highest probability of recovering if tumors are completely removed. However, tiny clusters of cancer cells a... Read more
