Interventional Neuroradiologists Treat Brain Strokes with New Kind of Stent
A new "wingspan" stent helps restore blood flow for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease, or ICAD. Surgeons insert the stent up the leg arteries, guide it to the brain, then let its ... > more -
Thoracic Surgeons Help Healthy Lung Tissue Expand in Emphysema Patients
By implanting a valve through the bronchia, surgeons can now prevent air from getting trapped in emphysema-stricken lungs. The valve deflates the diseased parts of the lung, making space for healthy ... > more -
Neurologists Combine Electric Stimuli with Excercise to Reverse Paralysis
Paraplegic patients who still have some active nerve endings in their legs can find major improvements with a new therapy. During rehabilitation on a bicycle, special pads send electrical pulses that ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Develop Glove That Translates Sign Language
A new high-tech glove enables the translation of sign language into written text, facilitating communication for the hearing or speech impaired. The glove senses movements of the hand and fingers, ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more
