The future is now: Neural implants may hold key to unlocking brain’s mysteries

Posted: Published on July 22nd, 2014

LIVERMORE -- Deep inside Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's Center for Bioengineering, scientist Sat Pannu and his research team are hard at work crafting spaghetti noodle-sized devices with a mundane appearance but an audacious goal: To rewire damaged human brains. Fitted with dozens of tiny microelectrodes, each of these brain implants is intended to monitor the electrical activity of brains devastated by physical injury or mental illness -- and provide the precise stimuli to help minds compensate for what they've lost. It sounds fanciful, like something out of Hollywood. But building on technology more than a decade in the making, center director Pannu and his associates envision a time, not too many years away, when advanced, so-called deep-brain stimulation implants combat the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, even chronic pain or addiction. "This technology allows us to interface with the brain using hundreds, if not thousands, of electrodes," Pannu said. "If you had these devices implanted in the brain, you could record (neural activity) and see how therapies are working in real time." Pannu's $5.6 million project -- which is in the early stages of animal testing -- is part of an array of brain research underway at Lawrence … Continue reading →

Melbourne-made 3D-printed body parts could replace cadavers for medical training

Posted: Published on July 22nd, 2014

ABC A 3D-printed heart created by Melbourne scientists to aid in medical education A team of medical experts in Melbourne has created a 3D-printed anatomy kit that is set to revolutionise medical training around the world. The printed body parts which look almost exactly the same as the real thing can be used to replace difficult to get and expensive cadavers that are crucial for training doctors. On display, the rows of body parts paint a macabre picture - but these hands, feet, brains and hearts are not the real thing - they're 3D-printed copies. Professor Paul McMenamin, from Monash University in Melbourne, hopes the anatomy kits will change the future of medical education. "Not everyone has the luxury of having access to real cadavers specimens because of all the problems of handling cadavers, storing cadavers and using them over and over again for teaching purposes," Professor McMenamin said. "So the advantage of this is that the students could sit in any classroom and look at this, it's a dry powder based print but it's got all the anatomy that a student would need to learn that particular part of anatomy." Professor McMenamin runs the Centre for Human Anatomy Education … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on July 22nd, 2014

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2014 Infini has been steadily gaining worldwide attention from the Aesthetic physicians as clinical results continue to show promise. The latest release of the small size tip that features 16 insulated gold plated microneedles and is especially beneficial for small areas such as around the eyes. This smaller tip is also less expensive than the larger 49-microneedle tip, which is best for treating large areas. As I continue to see the clinical results come in, I am excited by the possibilities presented by Infini, stated Dr. Vic Ross, Director of the Laser and Cosmetic Center at Scripps Clinic in San Diego. He went on to state that The main advantage of Infini, is that it delivers the RF energy in a very precise and controllable manner, which allows for more predictable and dramatic results, with less damage to surrounding tissue for less downtime than other competing procedures. I am particularly enthusiastic about the potential for off the face rejuvenation. As part of their ongoing commitment to education (for both physicians and patients alike), they announced the availability of the latest webinar on Infini featuring world renowned Dr. Matteo Tretti Clementoni, a plastic surgeon in the … Continue reading →

Cosmetic Surgery Regret Is On The Rise

Posted: Published on July 22nd, 2014

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 22, 2014 The demand for revision surgeries is at an all time high, according to some surgeons whose waiting rooms are filled with patients who seek out their special expertise and aesthetic judgment. As the number of people electing to have plastic surgery continues to rise across the country, and the number of doctors electing to do cosmetic procedures is increasing, it is not surprising that the number of corrective or revision surgeries would also be growing. According to New York City Facial Plastic Surgeon Sam Rizk, "At this point, about fifty percent of the procedures I perform are revision surgery. Although rhinoplasty has historically been the number one revision procedure, patients are also seeking secondary facelifts, neck lifts and blepharoplasties (eyelid surgery) in record numbers. Factors That Influence Secondary Surgery Revision surgery may be necessary after complications from disappointing results or from problems that arose which may have been avoided by a more experienced surgeon. Because risks increase, and the likelihood of pleasing cosmetic are less predictable and more complicated with every surgery, mainly because of accumulation of scar tissue and the loss of cartilage. Revision surgeries are also more expensive than first-time surgeries … Continue reading →
