Siemens Healthineers Unveils Two New Radiotherapy Planning CT Scanners
Siemens Healthineers unveiled two new CT scanners specifically designed for radiation therapy planning. The SOMATOM go.Sim and SOMATOM go.Open Pro are 64-slice and 128-slice devices, respectively, and feature an 85 cm opening suitable for larger patients.
To make patient prep easier and faster, the scanners come with an optional DirectLasers system mounted on top of the gantry that projects laser light beams onto the patients. These help to align each patient accurately and are controlled wirelessly using a tablet computer, allowing the radiation therapist more freedom of movement and ease of operation.

Robotic Guidewire to Clear Stroke Clots, Deliver Therapies Inside Brain
Endovascular procedures have drastically improved the available therapy options for a number of diseases and conditions. Catheters can now be navigated deep into the body, including the brain, but there’s still room for improvement to traverse particularly tortuous vascular anatomy.
These days, most guidewires that are used to make the initial journey through the vasculature are pretty dumb. They can be rotated and pushed, and that’s about it, which can be pretty frustrating for the physicians who have to use them to get through three-dimensional mazes. There are externally steerable systems out there, such ...

Self-Powered Microrobots Deliver Drugs to Tumors in the Gut
Treating tumors within the GI system is often a difficult challenge, frequently requiring invasive surgery. Scientists at Caltech have now developed self-propelled microrobots that can deliver drugs to precise spots within the intestines, and that can let clinicians monitor and control their activity. Besides drug delivery, the microrobots have the potential to be used in microsurgeries in difficult to reach parts of the body.
The microrobots are tiny spheres of magnesium coated with a drug, gold, and parylene, a polymer that doesn’t break down within the GI tract. They’re also encapsulated within paraffin w...

Kidney stones: What are your treatment options?
If you’ve been diagnosed with kidney stones (urolithiasis), you may have several options for treatment. These include medical therapy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL), and ureteroscopy.
A brief anatomy of the urinary tract
The urinary tract includes
kidneys (two organs that filter waste and extra water from the blood)
ureters (two tubes bringing urine from each kidney to the bladder)
bladder (organ that collects urine)
urethra (a single tube through which urine in the bladder passes out of the body).
The evaluation for kidney stones
If your symptoms suggest kidney sto...

Body-Worn Electric Generator to Power Medical Implants, Wearable Devices
Many implantable and wearable devices need access to continuously available electrical power. Implants, such as cardiac pacemakers, often have to be exchanged for new ones during surgery because modern batteries have a limited lifetime.
Engineers at Rice University have been working on a small and flat generator that is capable of producing significant amounts of electricity to power a variety of medical devices.
The new generator relies on the triboelectric effect, in which electricity is produced when two different materials are brought toward each other and then pulled apart. Every time the two are separated, a charge b...

What Was Causing a Toddler ’ s Vocal Problems? Not Any of the Usual Suspects
When a toddler presented with a raspy voice, pediatricians initially suspected respiratory infections, dysphonia and then acid reflux. But, as revealed in a “Mystery Diagnosis” column in the Washington Post, the problem was much more serious.
A pediatrician initiated acid reflux treatment and referred the little girl, who had experienced voice problems since birth, to a a pediatric otolaryngologist. The ENTs investigations revealed a diagnosis that shocked the girls’ parents: She had a rare disease—recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Caused by two strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV)—a sexually tran...

Digital Health: The Next Big Exit for the Startup Nation?
When people refer to Israel as the “Startup Nation,” it’s usually regarding the country’s innovation in computers, networking, communications, electronics, and so on. But it might be even more appropriate to use that term when discussing life sciences, medical technology, and biotech – areas where Israeli companies and technologies have taken center stage, leading the world with innovations that are saving lives.
For a country of barely 8 million people, Israel is a hotbed of medtech investment and innovation. There are over 1,500 companies in the life sciences field in Israel; in 2017, Israeli life scien...
