Expertise from professionals at the Science Media Center Germany Prof. Dr. Thomas Stieglitz and Dr. Cristian Pasluosta, experts in biomedical microtechnology, offer their insights on the study, "Neuartige Beinprothesen-Technik verbessert das Gehen". The study proves that the Agonist-Antagonist-Myoneuronal-Interface-Technique (AMI) method with sensor feedback after an amputation improves gait by providing natural proprioceptive feedback and direct prosthesis control. The method was tested on a representative patient group, demonstrating high methodological quality and offering a cost-effective solution for clinical practice.

Dear Colleagues, A recent publication in Medical Science Monitor delves into the advancements of arrival-time parametric imaging (At-PI) in ultrasound medicine. At-PI offers a promising alternative to contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) by improving visualization and minimizing operator variability. This technology enhances the static representation of blood flow dynamics and provides insights into vascular patterns in various organs, including the liver and prostate. The review synthesizes existing research, highlighting key parameters and addressing current limitations, with a focus on At-PI's role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The complete report is now available on the Medical Science Monitor webpage. | https://lnkd.in/dEG_VDDr

#Stroke ranks as the second-leading global cause of death and is the most common cause of adult long-term physical or cognitive disability. A cross-disciplinary research team from CUHK has developed magnetic tissue plasminogen activator (#tPA)-anchored nanorobots (tPA-nbots) to treat ischemic stroke. The novel technology exhibits a thrombolysis rate 5 to 20 times faster than traditional treatment and capabilities in recanalising more distal and smaller branches. It demonstrates potential to benefit patients by reducing brain damage and minimising side effects. Also, the team succeeded in using laser speckle contrast imaging (#LSCI) guidance for real-time tracking and delivery of nanorobots and instant monitoring the bloodstream, providing a novel approach for nanorobots-based endovascular intervention therapy. Study results have been published in the international journals #ScienceAdvances and #ScienceRobotics.

Biomedical engineer Retta El Sayed has pioneered a way to use advanced imaging to see and quantify the effects of a specific vascular anomaly on blood flow, which in turn could help doctors identify patients at risk of having what previously was thought to be strokes of unknown cause (known in medicine as cryptogenic strokes). Carotid webs are a rare anomaly in the vasculature of the carotid artery. Because these fibromuscular structures project into the internal carotid artery, they are suspected of impairing blood flow and could be linked to up to one-third of cryptogenic strokes. The anomaly predominantly affects younger women of African American descent, a group underserved by current cardiovascular health care providers. The team found 4D flow MRI did, indeed, measure blood flow disturbances from carotid webs that put patients at higher risk of stroke than even patients with atherosclerotic plaque, which is a major contributor of stroke. The findings also validated the 4D flow MRI scanning parameters and technique, results with profound implications for addressing a deadly disparity in cardiovascular health care. #radiology #MRI #flowNRI

Great discussion paper from FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), intended to spur discussions about reducing barriers to achieving #healthequity, and strategies that may help improve outcomes across diverse populations. The discussion paper: *️⃣Discusses three considerations (disease burden or condition; physiology, anatomy, and pathophysiology; and technology) that may help inform design of a clinical study that adequately reflects the intended use population for a particular medical device. *️⃣Discusses two important areas of consideration when evaluating whether clinical data are generalizable to, and representative of, the intended use population identified for a particular device. *️⃣Poses key questions to facilitate public feedback. The FDA encourages stakeholders to provide comments in the Federal Register under docket number FDA-2024-N-3616. The last day to submit comments is October 4, 2024.
