Age Well with Smart HealthTech
America is going gray. According to U.S. Census data, in 2030 even the youngest Baby Boomers will have reached 65, and older Americans will make up 21 percent of the population. That’s up from 15 percent today. By 2060, nearly a quarter of Americans will be at least 65 and a half million will reach age 100.
These changing demographics give urgency to the concept of “aging in place.†Nobody wants to lose their independence, but that’s the reality for many who are forced from their homes by cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes or other chron...

12 Innovations That Will Change Health Care and Medicine in the 2020s
Pocket-size ultrasound devices that cost 50 times less than the machines in hospitals (and connect to your phone). Virtual reality that speeds healing in rehab. Artificial intelligence that’s better than medical experts at spotting lung tumors. These are just some of the innovations now transforming medicine at a remarkable pace.
No one can predict the future, but it can at least be glimpsed in the dozen inventions and concepts below. Like the people behind them, they stand at the vanguard of health care. Neither exhaustive nor exclusive, the list is, rather, representative of the recasting of public health and medic...

Consider the Promises and Challenges of Medical Image Analyses Using Machine Learning
Medical imaging saves millions of lives each year, helping doctors detect and diagnose a wide range of diseases, from cancer and appendicitis to stroke and heart disease. Because non-invasive early disease detection saves so many lives, scientific investment continues to increase. Artifical intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging industry by sifting through mountains of scans quickly and offering providers and patients with life-changing insights into a variety of diseases, injuries, and conditions that may be hard to detect without the supplemental technology.
Images are the largest source...

Therapeutic oxygen delivery by perfluorocarbon-based colloids
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2021 May 1;294:102407. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2021.102407. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter the protocol-related indecisive clinical trial of Oxygent, a perfluorooctylbromide/phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed untoward effects to the product, the development of perfluorocarbon (PFC)-based O2 nanoemulsions ("blood substitutes") has come to a low. Yet, significant further demonstrations of PFC O2-delivery efficacy have continuously been reported, such as relief of hypoxia after myocardial infarction or stroke; protection of vital organs during surg...

Association Between a Body Shape Index and Subclinical Carotid Atherosclerosis in Population Free of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases
CONCLUSIONS: ABSI, as a novel anthropometric indicator compared with traditional indices, was found to have a closer relationship with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, even in populations free of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.PMID:34483222 | DOI:10.5551/jat.62988

Recent ultrasound advancements for the manipulation of nanobiomaterials and nanoformulations for drug delivery
Ultrason Sonochem. 2021 Oct 21;80:105805. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2021.105805. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent advances in ultrasound (US) have shown its great potential in biomedical applications as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The coupling of ultrasound-assisted drug delivery systems with nanobiomaterials possessing tailor-made functions has been shown to remove the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems. The low-frequency ultrasound has significantly enhanced the targeted drug delivery effect and efficacy, reducing limitations posed by conventional treatments such as a limited therapeutic window. Th...

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Without Schistocytes: Beware of Misdiagnosis
A 43-year-old woman was admitted for acute unusual headache, vertigo, and left upper limb weakness. She had been complaining of asthenia for the past few weeks. Her medical history included uterine cervix cancer treated with conisation and 2 pregnancies without serious complications. No allergy or recent drug introduction was noted. After ruling out current pregnancy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was immediately performed and showed recent ischemic strokes in multiple territories. Doppler ultrasound imaging showed no carotid or vertebral arteries lesion. Electrocardiogram showed no ST elevation or atrial fibrillation, ...

Tamperless Tensor Elastography Imaging
Measuring and mapping nervous tissue microstructure noninvasively is a long sought-after goal in neuroscience. Several neuropathologies – such as cancer and stroke – are associated with changes in tissue microstructure. Changes in material properties, such as stiffness, represent a sensitive measure of
underlying changes in tissue architecture, organization, and microstructure. Elastography techniques used to map material stiffness typically involves measuring displacement resulting from shear waves of known frequency imposed on the material by an external actuator or tamper. Material stiffness is estimated from measu...

Intelligent Algorithm-Based Echocardiography to Evaluate the Effect of Lung Protective Ventilation Strategy on Cardiac Function and Hemodynamics in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery
Comput Math Methods Med. 2022 Jun 30;2022:9349027. doi: 10.1155/2022/9349027. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to analyze the effect of optimal pulmonary compliance titration of PEEP regimen on cardiac function and hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. 120 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer were included as the study subjects and randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 60) and the control group (n = 60). The control group had a fixed positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 5 cmH2O. The experimental group had transesophageal ultr...
