HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Anti-bleed gel promises to save soldiers' lives

    Cresilon’s plant-based hemostatic gel, dubbed Traumagel, is expected to temporarily control the flow of blood when applied externally to a wound.

  • Are you calibrating your pharma pH meter correctly? Watch for these mistakes

    Here are common mistakes to avoid during pH meter calibration to ensure consistent and trustworthy pH measurements in pharmaceutical applications.

  • Choker-like wearable detects and broadcasts silently mouthed words

    Hoping to redefine the field of silent speech interface (SSI), the researchers were able to create the choker using embedded ultrasensitive textile strain sensor technology.

  • Implantable device promises to treat opioid overdose in minutes

    The new device, dubbed iSOS, can independently detect overdose and automatically administer naloxone — all without the need for a bystander to be present as is the case with other approaches, such as intranasal spray, intramuscular injection or intravenous injection.

  • Team powers robot leg with artificial muscles

    The team replicated the extensor and flexor muscle construction found in humans and animals, thus ensuring that the robotic leg can move in both directions, using electro-hydraulic actuators, dubbed HASELs.

  • Electric bandage expedites wound healing

    The team created WPEDs, which are disposable wound dressings featuring electrodes on one side and a small, biocompatible battery, which is composed of a magnesium anode and a silver/silver chloride cathode with a dry cellulose separator impregnated with sodium chloride, on the other side.

  • New saliva test detects heart failure at home in mere minutes

    The eCaDI device is comprised of five layers — three layers of transparent, flexible plastic, combined with layers of double-sided adhesive.

  • AI uses tongue color to make predictions about diseases

    According to the team, the algorithms achieved a 98% rate of accuracy in predicting assorted diseases when the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm analyzed the color of the human tongue.

  • Protecting what matters: How Apple Rubber creates seals for the medical industry

    By leveraging advanced materials, cutting-edge manufacturing processes and a deep understanding of the unique challenges of medical applications, Apple Rubber has become a trusted partner for medical device manufacturers worldwide.

  • Diagnosing genetic conditions from facial photographs using AI

    Being able to diagnose Marfan syndrome early via AI is expected to enhance diagnostics and potentially enable protective therapies.

  • New AI system could pave the way for automated dental care

    Perceptive’s dental robotics system reportedly combines advanced optical coherence tomography, imaging, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

  • Northwestern biomaterial regrows cartilage

    The material was applied to the damaged knee cartilage of animals and, following a period of six months, the team observed significant repair improvements wherein new cartilage developed.

  • Team to print and grow lung tissue with mucus-based bio-ink

    In a bid to better explore the production of lung tissue in the lab, the team sought to develop a suitable bio-ink as a means to 3D print structures mimicking human tissue.

  • Team turning egg whites into bio-ink for tissue engineering

    To create the bio-ink, the team used a process that involved transforming ordinary egg whites, which are made up primarily of proteins, into a material appropriate for 3D bioprinting.

  • Team creates a "bandage" for the heart

    The new method, dubbed Continuous-curing after Light Exposure Aided by Redox initiation (CLEAR), will reportedly create materials with the flexibility to tolerate the heart’s constant beating.

  • Vine-like robot to access hard-to-reach parts of the body

    The robot could one day be used to treat tumors in some of the deepest and most difficult-to-reach parts of the lungs.

  • New AI model detects male infertility from blood, not semen

    The researchers suggest that the AI model could potentially offer more accurate predictions of male infertility risk versus models that rely entirely on FSH levels.

  • New bandage improves wound healing, fends off infection

    Key for improving chronic wound healing efforts lies in therapeutic dressings that discourage the formation of dangerous biofilms.

  • Smithers announces new drug delivery device testing laboratory, expanding global capacity

    The new facility will provide drug delivery device testing services to clients in Europe and around the globe.

  • New robot makes pharmacy deliveries

    Medbot is an elevator delivery robot designed to improve healthcare facility efficiency with secure deliveries, thereby reducing operating costs and improving the overall patient experience by offloading routine tasks for healthcare workers.
