ONWARD Medical’s Post

Excited to be in #Heidelberg, where being inscribed as a #MedicalStudent for the second part of my Medical studies in 1987. And very happy to attend the 13th biannual #Meeting of the #DGfB (https://lnkd.in/deEjwYsU) (#DeutscheGesellschaftBiomechanik) onApril 24-26, kindly organized by the current president J. Philippe Kretzer. This was"only" 21 years after I had the pleasure in organizing the 3rd Meeting at the #Institute_of_Anatomy at #LMU in #Munich, with great support of by boss at the time, Prof. Reinhard Putz, who still is an extremely valuable mentor and friend. Our presentation on the 26th, in Session 15, themed #Biological #Tissue dealt with fully #automated analysis (#segmentation) of #cartilage transverse relaxation times (#T2), using #AI- and #deep_learning based #CNN (#convolutional_neural_network) algorithms. T2 is regarded a measure of #cartilage_quality (#composition), related to cartilage #histology, #mechanical_properties, and #early_osteoarthritis. In our present study, technical and clinical #validation of fully automated T2 analysis was performed both cross sectionally and longitudinally, in participants with #anterior_cruciate_ligament (#ACL) #injury with a without surgical treatment, and #healthy_controls. The work was performed in collaboration with Nicholas Brisson's group at Charite Berlin, and was supported by the #OA_Bio project (#Eurostars: #European_Union #Horizon_2020 research and innovation program, and #BMBF) led by francis berenbaum and 4P-Pharma. The MRI data and manual reference segmentations had been previously obtained within the #OVERLOAD - #PrevOP project, led by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ing. Georg Duda. Thanks to all to make it happen!

On 19 June 2024, Giuseppe (Giberto) Chirico attended the management committee & working groups' meeting of IMPROVE - 3Rs concepts to improve the quality of biomedical science (CA21139) as one of the leaders of the Working Group 2. Giuseppe (Giberto) Chirico is coordinating the preparation and dissemination of a survey 📊 at the EU 🌍 level within the project on the implementation of the 3R's principles. 🐭 IMPROVE - 3Rs concepts to improve the quality of biomedical science (CA21139) main aim is to establish a network which will work to refine, harmonize and promote 3Rs concepts, data and document. This COST actions align with In2Sight goal to develop economically and ethically sustainable bio-tests using innovative in-vivo optical imaging tools in order to improve biomedical basic and translational science. 🔬 🖥 #In2Sight #Innovation #Research #opticalimaging #IMPROVE

🔬 Scientific achievement for the team involved in the ivBM-4PAP research project! 🧪 In Martinez‑Vidal et al, 2024, published in Scientific Reports, by using a Brillouin microscopy approach, the research team explored mechanical alterations in the murine bladder wall, highlighting how tissue fibrosis affects the organ's elasticity. The Brillouin technique allows for the non-invasive, label-free mapping of tissue mechanics, opening up new possibilities for clinical diagnostics. We are proud to have contributed to the recent publication as part of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Executive Agency research and innovation program in collaboration with Università di Trento Universidad de Zaragoza Université d'Angers and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. 🔗 Discover the full article and more insights here: https://lnkd.in/dT7EEtsw   #BrillouinMicroscopy #Horizon2020 #ScientificResearch #Innovation #Microscopy #ivBM4PAP

"You’ve got to think about the whole journey. You may have an amazing piece of tech, but then if you can’t manufacture it, if there’s no hope in making it at scale, then this route is not the right one for you, and you could be best off spending your efforts in another way.” Our final academic to business founders are Professor Adrien Desjardins and Dr Malcolm Finlay, Co-founders of Echopoint Medical Ltd, a UCL spinout manufacturing and commercialising cutting-edge cardiovascular devices, to improve the treatment options for patients with cardiovascular disease. Both Malcolm and Adrien discuss the important lessons they have learned along their commercialisation journey. Here, the Co-founders talk about taking their research from the lab to market.

New project funded by the Swedish Research Council: What if we could monitor the healing process of implants or detect complications like inflammation or infection – all without invasive procedures? This is the vision behind the new interdisciplinary project "Ultra-thin monitoring sensors for implants" that brings together materials science (Chalmers), medical sciences (GU), and signal processing (KTH). The aim is to develop ultra-thin, wireless sensors that can be integrated into implantable devices. The sensors will monitor the healing process and detect early signs of failure or infection at the implant-tissue interface, which is normally inaccessible. This project promises to be both challenging and exciting due to its interdisciplinary nature. If we succeed in developing this non-invasive diagnostic tool, the applications could be far-reaching. Corrective measures could be taken earlier, which would benefit both patients and the healthcare system.   The research project will run for five years and is funded as an Interdisciplinary Research Environment Grant by the Swedish Research Council with 25 Mio SEK. Project PIs: Uta Klement and Jinhua Sun (Chalmers, Industrial and Materials Science), Anders Palmquist and Margarita Trobos (Gothenburg University, Institute of Clinical Sciences), and Joakim Jaldén and Mats Bengtsson (KTH, Division of Information Science and Engineering). #ChalmersUniversityOfTechnology #ChalmersIndustrialAndMaterialsScience #GothenburgUniversity #SalgenskaAcademin #KTH #Vetenskapsrådet #Sensor #Implants
