Soterix touts transcranial stim depression trial results
Soterix Medical today released results from trials of its direct current stimulation-limited total energy technology designed to treat depression, touting that the device was found to be safe and effective with improvements in depression-rating metrics lasting for a month after treatment.
The tDCS-LTE system is designed to deliver energy to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex region of the brain which is implicated in depression control, the New York-based company said.
In the first trial, the company reported that its tDCS-LTE system was effective and safe as an add-on intervention for patients with type I or II bipolar di...

Mass. Eye and Ear aims to test abortion drug as treatment for brain tumor
Massachusetts Eye and Ear researchers hope to launch mid-stage trials of a drug commonly used to induce chemical abortion, called mifepristone, to treat a rare type of brain tumor.
Researchers had been looking for a drug to treat the growth of a potentially lethal brain tumor called vestibular schwannoma. The cancer usually causes hearing loss and tinnitus, but can also cause dizziness and facial nerve paralysis. Because of where such tumors grow – often on the vestibular, or balance, nerve —… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Biotechnology headlines)

Mifepristone may halt growth of intracranial tumor that causes hearing loss
(Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary) Massachusetts Eye and Ear researchers have shown that mifepristone, a drug currently FDA-approved for chemical abortion, prevents the growth of vestibular schwannoma (also known as acoustic neuroma) cells. This sometimes-lethal intracranial tumor typically causes hearing loss and tinnitus. The findings, published online today in Scientific Reports, suggest that mifepristone is a promising drug candidate to be repositioned for the treatment of these tumors.

Healing the Patient of Tomorrow
Products on well-understood commercialization tracks often take an incremental approach rather than trying to create paradigm-shifting technologies. In this blog, I’ll take a look at medical devices that are on a commercialization track to heal the patient of tomorrow in a way that is substantially better than previous offerings.
They are generally broken into three broad categories based on their advantages over existing medical devices: either healing the patient at home, fixing issues with existing devices, or creating non-invasive diagnostic tools.
Connected Home Use Devices
Connected home-use devices allow a patient...
