NEW ROBOTIC SURGERY ARM APPROVED BY FDA

... today cleared for marketing a robotic device that enables a surgeon to perform laparoscopic gall bladder and reflux disease surgery while seated at a console with a computer and video monitor. The surgeon can use hand grips and foot pedals on the console to control three robotic arms that can perform the su...

Need for Colon cancer screening

...opy, colonoscopy is much more effective because it enables to look at the whole colon. FOBT could detect fewer than 25% of precancerous colon growths in people with no symptoms, while one-time sigmoidoscopy detected 70% of growths. After completing both the tests the detection rate up to 76 %. The research...

This is followed by a second extended release of the active ingredient, which produces 24-hour urine concentrations. Research study compared 1000mg once-d...

New Kidney Transplantation procedure

...s called , `Splenic Radiation and Plasmapheresis,' enables patients with renal failure to accept kidneys from donors whose blood group does not match. "Through this technique we temporarily blind the function of the spleen that otherwise rejects the kidney from a high risk donor," P. Ravichandran, head, Neph...

Acrolein may be the key to halting spinal cord damage

...ates that acrolein may be the primary culprit that enables this vicious cycle. Because acrolein has already been implicated in cancer and neurological diseases, drugs that detoxify it could become important for treating not only spinal cord damage but a host of other conditions as well." The research, which...

Detecting DNA Damage With In-Vivo Alkaline Comet Assay
