UMass Medical Using ‘Virtual Anatomy’ To Teach Students
BOSTON (CBS) — Human anatomy is one of the first courses a student has to take in medical school to study the body’s organs, nerves, vessels and more.
Human cadavers have always been used for this purpose and probably always will be but UMass Medical School now has a new, high-tech tool at their disposal which is giving doctors a view into the body like never before.
Third year medical students Scott Pascal and Pamela Lu are getting a lesson on human anatomy, but instead of dissecting a cadaver, they’re viewing the deep layers of the human body using this virtual anatomy table.
“Going through anatom...

John Buchanan's Philadelphia Diploma Mill and the Rise of State Medical Boards.
Abstract
The absence of medical licensing laws in most states during the years following the American Civil War made it possible for unscrupulous individuals to capitalize upon the weak governmental role in medical practice and educational charters. The practices of John Buchanan during much of his tenure at the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsylvania, in issuing thousands of dubiously earned diplomas, caused a national and international scandal. The traffic in diplomas became so flagrant that regulatory oversight of physicians and their practice, such as that conducted by the Illinois Board of Health led by Dr. ...

Report: Toshiba to sell entire medical equipment biz

Also this month, Toshiba said it would either shut down or transfer all of its other healthcare businesses b...

Fujifilm Holdings (TSE:4901), which lost out last week to Canon (NYSE:CAJ) in the race to be picked as preferred bidder for conglomerate Toshiba‘s (TYO:6502) medical device business, questioned Toshiba today on the timing of the deal for Toshiba Medical Systems.

Toshiba (TYO:6502) said yesterday that it inked a deal to sell its medical device business to Canon (NYSE:CAJ) for $5.9 billion, as the U.S. Justice Dept. and the SEC probed the accounting practices in its U.S. businesses, and today said it plans to lay off an additional 3,000 workers.
Toshiba last week granted Canon exclusive negotiating rights to buy Toshiba Medical after a hotly contested auction. The ¥665.5 billion sale of Toshiba Medical Systems follows the February announcement that Toshiba would sell the entire medical equipment unit rather than just a controlling stake.

Toshiba got the cash for its medical biz before the deal closed
Toshiba (TYO:6502) managed to book the $5.95 billion sale of its medical business to Canon (NYSE:CAJ) before the deal actually closed, by setting up a holding company with just $300 in assets to skirt Japanese anti-trust regulations.
In March, Toshiba granted Canon exclusive negotiating rights to buy Toshiba Medical Systems after a hotly contested auction. Toshiba badly needed the ¥665.5 billion sale to shore up its business in the face of mounting restructuring costs after a $1.3 billion accounting scandal.
In a rush to ensure that it could book the cash for its fiscal 2015 year ending March 31, Toshiba created ...

Evaluation of antibacterial activity from phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles against medical devices infected with Staphylococcus spp.
Conclusions This study suggested that phytosynthesized AgNPs capped with various biomolecules present in leaf extracts of B. asiatica coated on glass surface prevent S. epidermidis and S. aureus associated infections of medical devices. Thus, coating of phytosynthesized AgNPs on glass surfaces may provide efficient antibacterial treatment of infected medical devices.
