I’m on the move but here’s a quick Health / Medical / Scientific technology video about suspended animation. Enjoy!

Courtesy of Benechill A new medical gadget developed by Benechill allows EMT’s and other rescue workers to cool patients brains on the go preventing serious brain damage. The device called Rhinochill releases a fast evaporating liquid up the nose of the patient where it helps cool the brain. In a study of 200 patients, those who [...] Courtesy of Science Sometimes advances in medical science seem like the stuff of fiction… Scientists are one step closer to regrowing limbs like newts thanks to a new discovery in gene therapy. It was found that it may be possible to increase human regenerative abilities by turning off a specific gene. Mice lacking the gene p21 were [...] Courtesy of Nano3D Biosciences Another look into the future of health and medical technology… So you’ve read about organs being manufactured, made to order. Well one major problem is that the 3d structure of the organ is almost as important as the tissue itself. In the past, these 3d structures have been made using biodegradable scaffolding. Now, [...] Courtesy Korea University Oh the future of health gadgets… Imagine using your body as a conduit through which to send and receive signals. Medical devices communicating with each other using your body as the wired. A group of South Korean scientists have demonstrated the ability to send information at 10MB/sec through a humans arm. [...] courtesy of University of Utah File this under wonky medical gadgets. Researchers in Utah have developed an armrest they feel will change the face of medicine. The device is supposed to increase the precision of hand movements by stabilizing the arm using force motors. This is definitely in the prototype stage, as you can see above, [...] Courtesy of Wired A health technology revelation… Wired has a great article up about how all the health tracking devices currently in use are turning living into a type of game. Eat now beep beep, exercise now beep beep, your heart rates too high, your blood sugars too low. The idea that such an increase in data [...] A look at the future of health sciences… Up until now very few genomes had been sequenced and identifying the cause of diseases based on genomic data seemed out of reach. Now two labs working independently have successfully sequenced the genomes of patients suffering from disease, and for only $50 000. This is a huge feat considering [...] courtesy Guger Technologies I hope this health technology becomes affordable for everyone… typing these articles while watching Dexter = great! Intendix will be the first patient-ready commercially available brain-computer interface. Designed to help those who have little to no motor function. Patients will be able to type at about 60 letters per minute and should be able [...] credit: Daniel Terdimen A nice Saturday read, Daniel Terdimen over at CNET profiles Scott Summit, an industrial designer changing the way prostheses are designed and manufactured. Summit has many game changing points in his speeches, especially when discussing complexity and how in the future you will pay the same for complex models as [...] |
