Credit: KTUA study conducted by scientists from Kaunas (Lithuania) universities has revealed the possibility of non-invasively reducing blood pressure and speeding up gas exchange within the pulmonary system. The findings were confirmed in vivo—within 7 minutes, lung...

DOI: 10.1016/j.livres.2023.11.002Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is spectrum of diseases that ranges from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Invasive liver biopsy continues to be the gold standard...

JANUARY 21ST, 2022 CONN HASTINGS NEUROLOGY, RADIOLOGY Kernel, a medtech company based in California, has developed the Kernel Flow, a wearable helmet that can perform time domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-fNIRS) imaging of the brain. The system has a smaller footprint, is less expensive and less complex than benchtop TD-fNIRS systems, but has demonstrated similar imaging...
Bethesda, MD – People who suffer frequent indigestion may find relief with a small device that hooks onto the ear known as a transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulator, or taVNS. People who used taVNS showed significant improvements in their stomach’s ability to accommodate and process a meal, according to a new study. The research was...
by Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging A combination of multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and ultrasound has been used to noninvasively characterize a range of thyroid disorders, according to new research published in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By providing a semiquantitative analysis of functional parameters and tissue characterization, the...
Posted Today Endoscopic and metabolic therapies, or EBMTs, are innovative, non-invasive weight-loss procedures designed to significantly reduce a patient’s stomach volume or alter other parts of the digestive tract to treat obesity and other metabolic diseases. Unlike traditional bariatric surgery, an endoscopic bariatric procedure is performed using a small, flexible scope inserted through the patient’s mouth. With many patients failing to meet surgical...
By Maria Cohut Fact checked by Carolyn Robertson The first experiments by scientists, using a noninvasive, high-fidelity interface to control a robotic arm, have been successful. In the future, the researchers aim to perfect the technology to make it more widely available. Robotic arms and other robotic instruments may sound like a futuristic development, but they...
