11/27/24: Minimally Invasive Procedure Making Treatment Possible for More People with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus | By Daniel Levangie, President and CEO of CereVasc - He writes, "Normal pressure hydrocephalus, a disease that exerts pressure on the brain due to an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid, can lead to distressing side effects, including cognitive dysfunction, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence. But, because the standard of care for this disease is invasive and post-operative complications can be severe, patients — the majority of whom are over the age of 65 — are often counseled by their doctors not to undergo treatment. A minimally invasive intervention could change this pattern of undertreatment, and that’s why CereVasc’s eShunt System is sparking interest across the field of neurosurgery."

11/21/24: The Role of Endovascular Specialists in the Multidisciplinary Approach to Postpartum Hemorrhage | Article By Dr. Adam Power, Co-Founder and CMO, Front Line Medical Technologies - He writes, "Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) continues to challenge obstetric care despite ongoing medical advancements. With blood loss exceeding 500 ml in 6.3% to 13% of births and over 1000 ml in 1.9% to 2.8% of cases, PPH remains a significant concern. These figures are particularly worrying given that 500 ml is the established threshold for PPH following vaginal delivery. Cesarean sections often involve even more significant blood loss, frequently exceeding 1000 ml." Read more on what Dr. Power has to say. #FrontLineMedicalTechnologies https://lnkd.in/e2Q5ptdH

11/6/24: Transforming Diabetes Care: Why CGM Hardware Must Evolve for the Type 2 Population | By Dr. Chris Dawson, Head of Head of Biosensing at TTP plc. He writes, "The landscape of diabetes management is transforming, as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices expand beyond Type 1 diabetes and into a rapidly growing Type 2 market. Changes to regulatory approvals and insurance coverage driven by improved patient outcomes have opened the door for non-insulin-dependent Type 2 patients to access CGM. Device manufacturers now face a new frontier: designing CGM hardware that meets the unique needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. For CGMs to realize their full potential in Type 2 diabetes management, it’s critical to rethink hardware design to cater to this population’s distinct requirements, improving usability, flexibility, and the quality of care."
