LKC Technologies’ Post

We are delighted to see that not only the interior but also the front cover of the latest (Dec 2024) issue of the Journal of #Anatomy is dedicated to all manner of aspects of #craniosynostosis, edited and contributed to by our own Mehran Moazen. To borrow unashamedly from the Mayo Clinic's excellent definition of this condition, which affects babies through to and during adulthood: "Craniosynostosis (kray-nee-o-sin-os-TOE-sis) is a disorder present at birth in which one or more of the fibrous joints between the bones of your baby's #skull (cranial sutures) close prematurely (fuse), before your baby's #brain is fully formed. Brain growth continues, giving the head a misshapen appearance." The front cover image relates to a tool/technique on which we have previously reported: see Marius Didziokas et al., ‘BounTI (Boundary-preserving Threshold Iteration): a user-friendly tool for automatic hard tissue segmentation’, also in this JofA issue, pp829-841. This issue also includes a review article by @Gillian-Morris-Kay, based on her talk at the meeting “3rd Advances in Craniosynostosis: Basic Science to Clinical Practice”, held here UCL on 25 August 2023 (on which we also reported here). It describes her and her research team's and collaborators' contributions to the field of #craniofacial development and understanding the causes of human #congenital anomalies. Mehran co-edits this special edition with Stephen R. F. Twigg, MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe,The Hospital University of Oxford, and their editorial provides the background to it, letting us know, amongst other things, that: "Current treatment involves a multidisciplinary team of plastic and maxillofacial surgeons, neurosurgeons, speech and language therapists, psychologists, orthoptists, dentists, clinical geneticists and other specialists. ... This is clearly a joint transdisciplinary effort involving multiple stakeholders with the #children and their families at the heart. "Each ... have their own societies and conferences. Some examples are the International Society of Craniofacial Surgery, the Gordon Research Conferences on Craniofacial Morphogenesis and Tissue Regeneration, the @European-Society-for-Paediatric-Neurosurgery-espn and many others that are increasingly becoming more interdisciplinary. "The idea behind the “Advances in Craniosynostosis – basic science to clinical practice” (AdCr) meeting originated in 2011 when Moazen promised @the-Royal-Academy-of-Engineering Research Fellowship Scheme “… to organize a workshop on the use of #computational skull models in clinical applications.” As the fellowship progressed it became increasingly clear that there was a need to bring together all the key stakeholders involved in treatment and research on craniosynostosis, including the patients and their families."

💛 IS YELLOW THE NEW BLACK? 🖤 💭 Well, of course, it is quite clear that our YELLOW-STAR from Urotech/Urovision is not a replacement for our unique MAGNETIC BLACK-STAR® ureteral stent. However, as a certified long-term ureteral stent (12 months) with a very special phosphorylcholine treatment, our YELLOW-STAR complements our range and offers great advantages for users and, above all, for the patients. 🎤 Did you already check out the patient interview with Mrs. Schweiger? She shared how the YELLOW-STAR Stent significantly improved her quality of life. Personally, knowing we can positively impact someone's life is why I work in the medical device industry. 👍 Key Benefits of YELLOW-STAR: - Reduced Biofilm Formation and Encrustation: Minimizes complications and enhances patient outcomes. - Certified 12 Months Indwelling Time: Durable and reliable for extended use. - High Patient Comfort: Achieved with HybridPRO® Technology material. #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalDevices #Urology #PatientCare #YellowStarStent #InnovationInMedicine

The iCare EIDON Family provides imaging modalities for different needs covering TrueColor, Infrared, Autofluorescence and Angio Fluorescein.

https://lnkd.in/dDYkQj-k When people talk about glaucoma, the focus often falls on the eye pressure ‘number’. But what does the number actually mean? What if your number is higher or lower than someone else’s, does that mean you have glaucoma? Read our latest blog as we take a look at the complexities of glaucoma, and its multifactorial nature beyond just intraocular pressure numbers. #Glaucoma #nexuseyecare #norwest #blacktown #ophthalmology #optometry #ophthalmologist #optometrist 

Reducing scan time and simultaneously improving image quality in pediatric imaging Shorter scan times are particularly important in pediatric imaging, especially when imaging patients with developmental or behavioral disorders who may not be able to remain still during the MR examination. PROPELLER is designed to reduce the effect of patient voluntary and physiologic motion (breathing, flow, peristalsis), enabling consistently good, diagnostic-quality images even for challenging patients and difficult-to-image anatomy.
