Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread -- a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult. If the mechanism that drives cancer movement -- also called metastasis -- can be understood well enough to manipulate it, new and better treatments can be developed for patients with metastatic cancers. Signi...Stimulation of the semicircular canals can artificially control human walking and balance
By applying electrical currents across the heads of people while they walk, researchers have improved our understanding of how our vestibular system helps us maintain upright posture; at the same time, the researchers found that the stimulus could be applied in a way that allowed a person who was walking straight ahead to be steered by "remote control" without her balance being affected. The find...Magnetic Stimulation Found Effective for Parkinson’
In the United States, more than 1 million Americans have Parkinson’s disease. It is a neurological condition // that can cause slowness and instability, but a new type of therapy can improve both of these problems. A pulse of induced electrical current targets areas of the brain that control movement. This is done inorder to improve stiffness in patients. To make them move faster than they did be...Magnetic Stimulation For Parkinson’s Diseas
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that can cause slowness and instability, but a new type of therapy can improve // both of these problems say researchers. A pulse of induced electrical current targets areas of the brain that control movement. This is done inorder to improve stiffness in patients. To make them move faster than they did before, without magnetic stimulation....Deep Brain Stimulation May Help Depression
According to a latest study by researchers, brain stimulation may help depressive patients, when other forms // of treatment do not show any result on them. People suffering from sustained depression for over 10 years had reacted positively to stimulation of their brains, when other medication were not working. Electrodes surgically planted in that part of the brain associated with depr...Scientists have found effective brain regions for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s
Scientists were considering whether it is possible to help patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease// by using a procedure called deep brain stimulation. In a recent research, scientists from Oregon Health and Science University have found out two specific areas of brain, where the procedure of deep brain stimulation may be used. The treatment for Parkinson’s consists of the drug le...Strong Magnetic Stimulation Can Help Treating Severe Depression
In severe depression 'Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation' (TMS) maybe the way forward to treat a patient instead of // the more aggressive electro-shock therapy. Electro-Shock Therapy or ECT is a dreaded therapy used as a last resort to treat severe depression for many decades. However, it can cause amnesia and impair memory for weeks after therapy and requires general anesthesia. In...Frontier® CRT-P Biventricular Stimulation Device
Description:The Frontier device is a multi-site, implantable biventricular pacing device with one atrial and two ventricular ports for patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) who have undergone an AV node ablation and who have NYHA Class II or III heart failure....Frontier Biventricular Stimulation Device

Description:InterStim Therapy for Urinary Control offers a revolutionary approach to managing urinary retention and the symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urge incontinence and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency alone or in combination in patients who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments. Medtronic developed InterStim Therapy using more than 13 years of exper...SynergyPlus™ Neurostimulation System
Description:The SynergyPlus+ is recommended for people with low to moderate pain in one or more limbs associated with failed back syndrome, low back or failed back. This may include people with post laminectomy pain, multiple back operations, unsuccessful disc surgery or degenerative disc disease and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). SynergyPlus+ was designed to give patients more control over the...Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation, 0 Minutes
