Rapid Prototyping for the Operating Theatre
Bonn, July 5, 2002. The technique is tried and tested, and what's more: it is also fast and cost-efficient. That is why manufacturers in the automotive industry and engineering have been using Rapid Prototyping for years to produce prototypes from three-dimensional datasets. The Bonn-based caesar research center has now found new and exciting... view more... (2002-07-15)
Targeted heat therapy offers new standard treatment option for soft tissue sarcoma
Patients with soft-tissue sarcomas at high risk of spreading were 30% more likely to be alive and cancer free almost three years after starting treatment if their tumours were heated at the time they received chemotherapy, according to new research. view more (2009-09-22)
Bioengineered tissue implants regenerate damaged knee cartilage
Knee cartilage injuries can be effectively repaired by tissue engineering and osteoarthritis does not stop the regeneration process concludes research led by scientists at the University of Bristol. view more (2006-07-05)
Cure for cancer one step closer
The cure for cancer is one step closer this week with the first collections of cancer tissue taking place at the new Wesley Research Institute Tissue Bank. view more (2007-04-04)
Nose straightened by laser
A unique methodology that allows to control the form of cartilage tissues in the human organism has been developed by researchers of the Moscow Institute of Laser and Information Technologies Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. A new methodology is based on strictly controllable heating of cartilages - for example, those of crooked nasal septum... view more... (2003-11-28)
Through the eye of the needle
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery cannot directly observe their work. Magnetic resonance imaging gives them an internal view of the patient's body, but metal surgical instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics offer a viable alternative. Thanks to advances in medical technology, surgeons can meanwhile perform very... view more... (2004-02-03)
Better Shadows With New Algorithm
Shadows are extremely important in making the graphics in 3D games and Virtual Reality applications seem natural. Soft shadows in real-time applications has largely been an unsolved problem, but now an algorithm is being introduced that will solve the problem and open many possibilities. In his doctoral dissertation, Ulf Assarsson at the... view more... (2003-12-12)
New technology sharpens X-ray vision
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the EPFL in Switzerland have developed a novel method for producing dark-field x-ray images at wavelengths used in typical medical and industrial imaging equipment. view more (2008-01-21)
MRSA toxin acquitted: Study clears suspected key to severe bacterial illness
Researchers who thought they had identified the bacterial perpetrator of the often severe disease caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) had better keep looking: Scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have exonerated a... view more...

Dinosaur Fossil Bone Leads to Gender, Age Determinations
Paleontologists at North Carolina State University have determined that a 68 million year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil from Montana is that of a young female, and that she was producing eggs when she died. view more (2005-06-02)
Robot surgery pioneer receives professorship at Imperial College
The world's first Professor of Medical Robotics delivers his Inaugural lecture today at Imperial College, London*1. Pioneer of a host of medical robots including the first clinical use of a robot to actively remove tissue from a patient, Professor Brian Davies will deliver his Inaugural lecture entitled Robotic Surgery: at the Cutting Edge of... view more...

Study Investigates the Cost Effectiveness of Spinal Surgery
Back pain affects more than 80 percent of people and costs more than $100 billion annually in the U.S. But is the surgery cost effective? A study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center suggests that for patients with spinal stenosis, a laminectomy, or surgical removal of some soft bone and tissue, is a reasonable value. view more (2008-12-30)
X-Rays for Early Alzheimer's Disease Detection
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated a new, highly detailed x-ray imaging technique that could be developed into a method for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-06-17)
Novel and Effective Treatment for Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Children
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant aggressive form of soft tissue cancer in children, the causes of which are currently unknown. Although the fibrous growths can be found all over the body they commonly develop around the head, neck, bladder and testes in young boys. The most common age for onset is between 1-5 years of age. The treatments... view more... (2004-07-15)
Plastic surgeons should be part of disaster relief planning, response
When a terrorist bomb explodes, a tornado rips through a town, a hurricane devastates a region, or wildfires ravage homes and businesses, plastic surgeons are not typically atop the list of emergency responders. view more (2009-09-11)
Key to avoiding whiplash injury may lie in head restraint positioning
The study by Brian Stemper, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurosurgery, resulted in the most comprehensively validated computer model for whiplash reported in scientific literature. view more (2006-12-12)
Co-operation between GSF and clinic improves outlook for sarcoma patients: Effectiveness of local, deep hyperthermia proved in phase III study
Hyperthermia, combined with chemotherapy, improves the chances of healing and survival of patients with low-lying, soft tissue sarcomas. view more (2007-07-16)
`Monte Carlo` simulations - the future for effective radiotherapy
Giving a patient the right dose during radiotherapy is essential if you are going to eradicate a tumour without creating excess damage in the surrounding healthy tissue. The Monte Carlo model is a specialised computer program that accurately simulates the passage of every particle that passes through the radiotherapy accelerator and into the... view more...
