'Artificial pancreas' a step nearer for children with type 1 diabetes (2/6/2010)

'Artificial pancreas' a step nearer for children with type 1 diabetesScientists in Cambridge have made a significant step towards developing a so-called "artificial pancreas" system for managing type 1 diabetes in children. The team has developed and successfully tested a new algorithm, providing a stepping stone to home testing for the artificial pancreas. ...> Full Article


Smart coating opens door to safer hip, knee and dental implants (2/4/2010)

Smart coating opens door to safer hip, knee and dental implantsResearchers at North Carolina State University have developed a "smart coating" that helps surgical implants bond more closely with bone and ward off infection. ...> Full Article


To restore vision, implant preps and seeds a damaged eye (1/29/2010)

A tiny eye implant that clears scar tissue and delivers progenitor cells designed to replace photoreceptors damaged by disease passes early tests. ...> Full Article


Beyond sunglasses and baseball caps (1/28/2010)

Researchers eyeing new way to measure elusive zinc (1/27/2010)

Researchers eyeing new way to measure elusive zincA team of Florida State University researchers will use a five-year, $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a way to measure levels of the trace metal zinc in the human body. ...> Full Article


Synthetic, dissolving plates ease repairs of nasal septum defects (1/22/2010)

Attaching cartilage to plates made of the resorbable material polydioxanone appears to facilitate corrective surgery on the nasal septum, the thin cartilage separating the two airways, according to a report in the January/February issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. ...> Full Article


Cochlear implants associated with improved voice control over time in children who are deaf (1/21/2010)

Children with cochlear implants in both ears appear to have difficulty controlling the loudness and pitch of their voices, but these measures improve over time, according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. ...> Full Article


Artificial muscles restore ability to blink, save eyesight (1/20/2010)

Artificial muscles restore ability to blink, save eyesightSurgeons from UC Davis Medical Center have demonstrated that artificial muscles can restore the ability of patients with facial paralysis to blink, a development that could benefit the thousands of people each year who no longer are able to close their eyelids due to combat-related injuries, stroke, nerve injury or facial surgery. ...> Full Article


Organized chaos gets robots going (1/19/2010)

Even simple insects can generate quite different movement patterns with their six legs. The animal uses various gaits depending on whether it crawls uphill or downhill, slowly or fast. Scientists from Gottingen have now developed a walking robot, which can flexibly and autonomously switch between different gaits. The success of their solution lies in its simplicity: a small and simple network with just a few connections can create very diverse movement patterns. To this end, the robot uses a mechanism for "chaos control." ...> Full Article


WPI receives $1.6 million allocation for research on advanced implantable neuroprosthetics (1/18/2010)

More than 1,200 American soldiers have returned from Afghanistan and Iraq with missing limbs. To address this growing national need, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute are laying the groundwork for a new generation of advanced prosthetic limbs that will be fully integrated with the body and nervous system. As part of the recently approved Department of Defense appropriations bill, WPI's Center for Neuroprosthetics and BioMEMS received a $1.6 million allocation to advance this groundbreaking work. ...> Full Article


1 in 4 patients have lost bone around their implants (1/16/2010)

Bone loss around dental implants is far more common than previously realised, reveals a thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Around a quarter of patients loose some degree of supporting bone around their implants. ...> Full Article


HERMES, new computer vision system for the analysis of human behavior (1/15/2010)

HERMES, new computer vision system for the analysis of human behaviorA consortium of European researchers, coordinated by the Computer Vision Centre of Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, has developed HERMES, a cognitive computational system consisting of video cameras and software able to recognize and predict human behavior, as well as describe it in natural language. The applications of the Hermes project are numerous and can be used in the fields of intelligent surveillance, protection of accidents, marketing, psychology, etc. ...> Full Article


Virtual reality tele-rehab improves hand function: Playing games for real recovery (1/14/2010)

Virtual reality tele-rehab improves hand function: Playing games for real recoveryRemotely monitored in-home virtual reality videogames improved hand function and forearm bone health in teens with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, helping them perform activities of daily living for which two hands are needed. Researchers suspect using these games could similarly benefit individuals with other illness that affect movement, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, arthritis and even those with orthopedic injuries affecting the arm or hand ...> Full Article


Scientists create super-strong collagen (1/13/2010)

A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has created the strongest form of collagen known to science, a stable alternative to human collagen that could one day be used to treat arthritis and other conditions that result from collagen defects. ...> Full Article
