North Dakota Medical Center Tests New Helipad
FARGO -- A blue AirMed helicopter ambulance, its rotors thumping and stirring a small windstorm, touched down in a symbolic first flight to christen the helipad at the new Sanford Medical Center.
The flight, which originated minutes earlier at Sanford's downtown medical center on Friday, is part of a multitude of preparations being made to open the new $494 million medical center July 25.
The helipad at the new medical center will provide ready access to deliver patients to the emergency department or cardiac catheter lab, for instance, in cases where minutes can make the difference.
"Literally, as soon as patients ar...

Tufts Medical Center Offers Unique Procedure To Combat Abnormal Heart Rhythm
BOSTON (CBS) — More than six million Americans have an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. For some people, traditional treatments just don’t work but doctors at a local medical center are using a new procedure to get those patients back in normal rhythm.
As the owner of an office cleaning service, 65-year old Pat DeGregorio walks about 10 miles a day, but three years ago, the Winthrop native woke up and could barely move.
“I couldn’t breathe,” he said. “I was just gasping for air.”
Pat was in an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation or AFib where pacemaker cells in the he...

The Effect of Medical Treatments on Stroke Risk in Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Brief Reports
Conclusions—
Antiplatelet therapy and blood pressure control are the most important factors in reducing short-term stroke and cardiovascular risk in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

An active contour model for medical image segmentation with application to brain CT image.
Conclusions: Their region-based active contour model has the ability to achieve accurate segmentation results in images with high noise level and intensity inhomogeneity. Therefore, their method has great potential in the segmentation of medical images and would be useful for developing CAD schemes for acute ischemic stroke in brain CT images.

The Squid Beak Inspires Safer, More Comfortable Implants
Researchers led by scientists at Case Western Reserve University have turned to an unlikely model to make medical devices safer and more comfortable - a squid's beak. Many medical implants require hard materials that have to connect to or pass through soft body tissue. This mechanical mismatch leads to problems such as skin breakdown at abdominal feeding tubes in stroke patients and where wires pass through the chest to power assistive heart pumps. Enter the squid. The tip of a squid's beak is harder than human teeth, but the base is as soft as the animal's Jello-like body...

Comparison of early clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement versus optimal medical therapy in patients older than 80 years with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
CONCLUSION: Treatment with TAVI was associated with lower event rates compared to SAVR or OMT. Therefore, TAVI may be considered as the first therapeutic strategy in selected patients aged≥80 years with symptomatic severe AS.

Everest hosts breathtaking medical research | Greg Foot
The Xtreme Everest project is investigating why some people cope better with low oxygen conditions than othersIt is a disconcerting feeling, not being able to breathe. It wasn't as though I was running for a bus or anything like that either; I was simply walking to the lab – a gentle 50 or so metres up a very shallow incline. Yet, every few steps I found myself buckled into an almost vertical foetal position, trying to suck the cold, thin air deep into my lungs.It shouldn't have been a surprise. I was higher than I'd ever been in my life, bent double on a point that would soar over anywhere in Europe, even the ...
