Yale neurologists identify consistent neuroinflammatory response in ICH patients
(Yale University) Understanding how the immune system responds to acute brain hemorrhage could open doors to identifying treatments for this devastating disease. However, up until now, there has been limited information on inflammation in the brain from human patients, especially during the first days after a hemorrhagic stroke.This led a team of researchers to partner with a large clinical trial of minimally-invasive surgery to tackle defining the human neuroinflammatory response in living patients.

'Seeing' and 'manipulating' functions of living cells
(Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT)) Toyohashi University of Technology has given greater functionalities to atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our research team has succeeded in minimally invasive surgery to living cells using photocatalytic oxidation controlled in a nanoscale space and visualizing dynamic information on intracellular biomolecules. This proposed technique for controlling and visualizing the process of cell function expression on a high level has significant potential as a strong nanofabrication and nanomeasurement system to solve the mystery of life.

Medtronic Makes Noise in Surgical Robotics with New M & amp;A
*Updated to include comments from Megan Rosengarten, vice president and general manager of Medtronic’s Surgical Robotics business.
Medtronic just turned up the volume in the surgical robotics market by a few decibels. The Dublin-based company – which has had a flurry of news come out in the last six months, is building out its upcoming surgical robotics platform with the acquisition of London-based Digital Surgery, an artificial intelligence specialist.
Dr. Jean Nehme, surgeon, CEO and co-founder of Digital Surgery spoke with MD+DI about the acquisition and noted the two comp...

3 Things I Learned at MD & amp;M West on Day 1
1. The Ever-Evolving Digital Age Is Creating Super Surgeons
Using his fellow panelist Christopher Macomber, MD, as an example, Kyle Miller, MD, explained how emerging technology like machine learning and automated performance metrics can create "super surgeons." But it's going to require acceptance by the surgeons. Miller is the senior global clinical marketing manager at Irvine, CA-based Intuitive Surgical, and Macomber is chair of robotic surgery at Minneapolis, MN-based Abbott Northwestern Hospital, part of Allina Health Surgical Specialists.

Minimally Invasive Surgery Through the Eyes of a Surgeon
One of the best parts of an event like MD&M West is the opportunity to put a cross-section of experts from industry in the same room as engineers and end-users and talk about the biggest trends in medical devices. One such discussion that took place here in Annaheim, CA on Tuesday included an expert robotic surgeon, an expert from Intuitive Sugical (which, as you likely know by now, pioneered robotic surgery a little more than 20 years ago), and a new robotic surgery company that is trying to to take this technology beyond the surgical suite.
I shared a few insights from this lively panel discussion here, but prior to...

As & #039;Robot Wars & #039; Kick-In, Is Robotic Surgery Ripe for an & #039;iPhone Moment & #039;?
Is widespread adoption of surgical robots around the corner? The question is certainly timely given the recent developments in the sector. To name a few, in mid-September, CMR announced it raised $243 million in a Series C round, while reaching unicorn status. Two weeks later, Medtronic was unveiling Hugo to investors, its long-awaited robotic surgery system. Meanwhile, Verb Surgical, the joint venture between Johnson & Johnson and Verily, took on a new CEO ahead of market launch. As the range of offerings continue to expand, should we expect to see surgical robots in every OR soon? The answer is not quite yet.

Offering Could Help Titan Get Back on Track with Surgical Robot
Earlier this month, Titan Medical’s efforts to commercialize its surgical robotics system for minimally invasive surgery hit a roadblock. The Toronto-based company announced it would delay the system because of a lack of financing.
Now, the Toronto-based company is hoping to get things back on track by raising proceeds through an offering. In a release, Titan said it has priced the offering at .45 cents per unit for a minimum of $15 million and a maximum of $25 million.
Titan said the net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund continued development work in connection with the companyâ€&#...

Amorphous metals combined with polymers for the first time
Engel and Heraeus have reduced cycle times by up to 70 percent compared with previous production solutions for the injection molding of amorphous metals. In doing so, the two system partners have opened the door to these alloys with truly special qualities entering large-scale production for a wide assortment of end uses. Engel is presenting the next big step in this development at K 2019. Two-component parts made of amorphous metal and silicone will be produced for the first time – a process that is taking place in a fully automated manufacturing cell.
