Georgia healthcare system to install GE's radio frequency ID
To that end, , one of Georgia's largest healthcare systems, will deploy IntelliMotion, an RFID solution...Radiofrequency Energy Cooks Tumors Without Surgery
Research conducted at the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center shows that by using radiofrequency energy, doctors can now "cook" tumors without actually removing them. The non-surgical technique, used increasingly for kidney and liver cancers, can also be used on cancers elsewhere in the human body. // During radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a tiny needle is inserted into the tumor and...Radiofrequency catheter ablation safe for infants
Treating a rapid heart beat by burning away small amounts of heart tissue is as safe for babies as it is for older children, according to new research.// The radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) treatment involves threading a catheter - with an electrode at its tip - into the area of the heart which is struggling with an uncontrolled heartbeat, known as tachycardia. A mild painless...New Medication May Decrease The Frequency Of Angina Attacks
Nearly 7 million patients suffering from chronic angina report limitations of their work and other activities // two to three times more frequently than the general population. Also, 26 percent of patients still experience angina attacks despite current treatments, such as myocardial revascularization -- a surgery that helps restore blood flow to the heart and is done largely to prevent angina -...Reducing The Frequency Of Angina Attacks While Exercising
Researchers say a new treatment can now help chronic chest pain sufferers exercise longer. When the drug ranolazine was taken // with other antianginal medications it was found to improve the total exercise time of patients with symptoms of chronic angina. Ranolazine is currently under review by the FDA. For this study, more than 800 patients with symptomatic chronic angina were random...The Use of Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID) to tackle the growing menace of counterfeit drugs
Manufacturers across the world have been constantly coming up with new strategies// and technologies to curb the proliferation of counterfeit drugs in the market. Deputy director BK Karna of Indian Institute of Packaging says although pharma companies are trying to bring in novel features to prevent proliferation of duplicated drugs with new package designs such as child resistant closu...
