A wearable safe sensor for use in diagnostics, therapeutics, human-computer interfaces, and virtual reality

Biocompatible sensor could be used in diagnostics, therapeutics, human-computer interfaces, and virtual reality Children born prematurely often develop neuromotor and cognitive developmental disabilities. The best way to reduce the impacts of those disabilities is to catch them early through a series of cognitive and motor tests. But accurately measuring and recording the motor functions of

Artificial intelligence could help alleviate shortage of clinical microbiologists

Microscopes enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) could help clinical microbiologists diagnose potentially deadly blood infections and improve patients’ odds of survival, according to microbiologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). In a paper published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, the scientists demonstrated that an automated AI-enhanced microscope system is “highly adept” at identifying images

Wounds sealed in 60 seconds with new elastic glue

Emergency treatments could be transformed, saving lives A highly elastic and adhesive surgical glue that quickly seals wounds without the need for common staples or sutures could transform how surgeries are performed. Biomedical engineers from the University of Sydney and the United States collaborated on the development of the potentially life-saving surgical glue, called MeTro.

A new noninvasive method using electrodes on the scalp for deep brain stimulation

Electrodes placed on the scalp could help patients with brain diseases Delivering an electrical current to a part of the brain involved in movement control has proven successful in treating many Parkinson’s disease patients. This approach, known as deep brain stimulation, requires implanting electrodes in the brain — a complex procedure that carries some risk

Artificial Intelligence Achieves Near-Human Performance in Diagnosing Breast Cancer

Human and computer analyses together identify cancer with 99.5% accuracy Pathologists have been largely diagnosing disease the same way for the past 100 years, by manually reviewing images under a microscope. But new work suggests that computers can help doctors improve accuracy and significantly change the way cancer and other diseases are diagnosed. A research

Study Findings Offer A Promising New Direction for Organ Regeneration and Tissue Repair

Researchers identify a novel approach to enhance tissue growth STUDY FINDINGS OFFER PROMISING NEW DIRECTION FOR ORGAN REGENERATION AND TISSUE REPAIR Because most human tissues do not regenerate spontaneously, advances in tissue repair and organ regeneration could benefit many patients with a wide variety of medical conditions. Now a research team led by investigators at Beth

Oil for the Joints: Grinstaff Advances New Osteoarthritis Treatment

A team of researchers led by a Boston University Biomedical Engineer has developed a new joint lubricant that could bring longer lasting relief to millions of osteoarthritis sufferers. The new synthetic polymer supplements synovial fluid, the natural lubricant in joints, and works better than comparable treatments currently available. According to Professor Mark W. Grinstaff (BME, MSE, Chemistry),

New technology may enable earlier cancer diagnosis

Nanoparticles amplify tumor signals, making them much easier to detect in the urine Finding ways to diagnose cancer earlier could greatly improve the chances of survival for many patients. One way to do this is to look for specific proteins secreted by cancer cells, which circulate in the bloodstream. However, the quantity of these biomarkers

Researchers Describe Simple, Inexpensive Way to Heal Massive Bone Loss

New findings could one day help orthopaedic surgeons better deal with battlefield injuries Bones are resilient and heal well after most fractures. But in cases of traumatic injury, in which big pieces of bone are missing, healing is much more difficult, if not impossible. These so-called “large segmental defects” are a major clinical problem, and

Far From Any Lab, Paper Bits Find Illness

The diagnostic tests fit on a postage stamp and cost less than a penny. While other scientists successfully shrank beakers, tubes and centrifuges into diagnostic laboratories that fit into aluminum boxes that cost $50,000, George Whitesides had smaller dreams. The diagnostic tests designed in Dr. Whitesides’s Harvard University chemistry laboratory fit on a postage stamp
