Cor-IS is a portable, non-invasive device for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) through brachial artery endothelium functionality evaluation. Until now, ultrasound imaging of the brachial artery is applied in clinical practice, but this has major disadvantages like poor repeatability, extensive fluctuation in the measured values, low imaging resolution and being dependent on ultrasound operator.
Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 800,000 a year (1 in 3 deaths). Heart attacks are an unpredictable emergency situation which is difficult to monitor and predict before permanent damage occurs. Once a patient is at the hospital symptoms may have subsided,
Background:
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a growing imaging technique in the medical field. It has advantages of being noninvasive, low-cost, and non-ionizing. In this, near-infrared light is used to assess blood volume and blood oxygenation levels. LiteScan transforms fNIRS capabilities into a wireless,
Computers, cell phones, and tablets are becoming an essential part of modern life. These devices are usually referred to as Video Display Terminals or VDT for short. Hundreds of millions of the lower and middle class Americans and people of the developing countries spend hours with their eyes focused at VDTs. This process tends to be mandatory because it’
Infrared surgical lasers, e.g. CTH:YAG @ 2100 nm and TM:YAG @ 2000 nm, are wonderful tools for minimally invasive surgery such as laser vaporization of hyperplastic prostate tissue (BPH), but they are completely incompatible with right angle, off-axis delivery fiber optics find great utility for vaporization of prostate gland lobes about the urethra at less challenging wavelengths, e.g.
Backed by more than $22 million in grant and Series A funding, Pulmotect is focused on reducing COPD exacerbations with its proprietary drug, PUL-042. COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, affects more than 24 million Americans and is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
For any Medical Emergency case, the First Hour is called the Golden Hour. Whether the patient will survive or die depends on that hour when the First Aid is made available. Various tensions arise whether the proper First Aid was given or not, was there any human error etc.
The RHINO SAFE eyeglasses frame is a non-invasive alternative for patients subject to rhinoplasty, turbinoplasty or other maxillofacial procedures, during their postoperative care stage. It was ideated as a solution for people that require wearing glasses for their daily activities, but cannot do so given it is strictly prohibited a 3 month period after the surgical procedure,
