Proton Therapy Best Cancer Treatment

Introduction To Proton therapy 

Proton therapy is a radio beam therapy that is capable to deliver radiation through the skin with much-reduced pain compared to conventional radiation therapies. It is a technique which uses proton beam which is delivered to the tumor in a precise way where the surrounding tissue is left unharmed contrary to other procedures which damage the tissue to a smaller or greater extent.

A proton is a positively charged particle. At high energy, protons can destroy cancer cells.This technique may forever alter the nature of cancer treatment.

Proton Therapy Working procedure 

Protons are atoms that carry a positive charge, similar to X-Rays which contain photons and is used to treat benign as well as malignant tumors but the only difference here is that it delivers protons in a much more confined and precise way, After they enter the body, protons release most of their energy within the tumor region and, unlike photons, deliver only a minimal dose beyond the tumor boundaries the shape and size of the tumor is also not a big problem as the method divide the tumor into small pixels and the radiations are given on these small pixels.

How Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography SPECT Works

SPECT Used in Cardiology Tests 

SPECT or Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography also called SPET, in short, is an imaging technique using gamma rays and provides a three-dimensional information about the flow the blood to different organs of the body. It is usually presented as cross-sectional slices through the patient but can be freely reformatted or manipulated as required.

Advanced NICU Equipment

What is NICU

Infants needing basic therapeutic consideration are ordinarily admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). These newborn children have a tendency to be preterm and have a low birth weight or potentially genuine medicinal conditions.

The blend of cutting-edge innovation and a prepared therapeutic group (counting neonatologists, medical caretakers, respiratory advisors, word related advisors, dieticians, and lactation experts) in the NICU adequately gives particular care to patients. Human services experts are frequently required to lead complex appraisals, execute profoundly escalated treatments, and make moment adjustments in light of the newborn child's reaction with a specific end goal to intercede before hazardous conditions arise.

Recent Advancements Within Bone Implants

Introduction

With increasing lifespans and improvement in the quality of life of elderly, joint replacements have started accounting for an increasing number of surgical orthopedic procedures.

In a landmark study done in the United States of America, it was concluded that one in every five adults suffers from arthritis.[1] The treatment for arthritis can be conservative or surgical depending on the severity of the case. However, this ratio puts into focus the magnitude of the problem and the dire need to come with more sustainable solutions for joint replacement therapy.

Evolution of biomaterials in Orthopedics

The last few decades have seen tremendous growth and improvement in the field of biomaterials with the evolution of 3 generations [2]. The first generation of bioinert materials, the second comprising of bioactive and biodegradable materials and the third consisting of materials with the ability to simulate the responses at a molecular level.

Nanotechnology Uses in Medical Field

Introduction of Nanoparticles 

The introduction of nanotechnology in medicine is the pharmaceutical approach to formulating drugs as nanoparticles for diagnostic and curing diseases in a targeted drug delivery system.  Nanotechnology is considered to be at a size below 0.1 m or 100 nm (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter).

Nanoparticles are potential drugs which in low amount produces rapid onset of action by enhancing solubility through an increased rate of dissolution. Based on the uptake of murine macrophages nanoparticles has an optimal size range of 10-250nm and surface range between   -10mv and +10mv.Nanotechnology in medicine emerged as two branches, Nanodevices, and Nanomaterials where Nanodevices act by respirocytes.

How Gamma Knife Works

The word knife is a misnomer, this is basically a non-invasive (non-surgical) technique which uses intersecting Gamma rays emitted from a radiological material usually Cobalt 60, the technique is also called stereotactic radiosurgery.

The knife has an associates specialized software program which helps the doctor to locate and irradiate small targets in the head (brain), blood vessels and other tissue with extreme precision. An intense dose of the radiation can be given on the target area leaving the normal surrounding tissue unharmed.

You might confuse Gamma Knife with CyberKnife, but each one has different approaches, mainly a Gamma Knife targets the brain and cervical spine with mainly one treatment session while a CyberKnife can treat brain cancer in almost all body parts in about 5 treatment sessions.

Dental Equipment Intro

Academic qualifications and experience are one the key things patients look for when they want dental care. However, the equipment in a dental clinic makes a huge difference. Everything from the sterilization equipment, to the imaging equipment, should be top-notch if a practitioner wishes to provide the best dental care, which is the purpose of this department/clinic. We’d like to walk you through on some of the best and upcoming dental equipment and technology.

Dental Equipment

Types of Dental Equipment

When you have problems with your teeth and/or gum, you visit a dental clinic. There you will be treated by a dentist, who is a medical practitioner.

When you visit a dental clinic, the procedure is like any other clinic. The dentist will check you, diagnose the problem, and come up with a treatment plan. For all these steps, the dentist uses different types of equipment.

The types of dental equipment you will find in a dental clinic include:

Handpieces

Hand instruments, also known as handpieces, are tools you will find in any dental clinic. They are used for functions such as tooth and gum examination, cutting and removing teeth, carving and polishing teeth, teeth cleaning, and, teeth filling. Having the correct and recent handpieces for each function is essential.

Spinal Cord Injuries Treatment Using Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study and application of tiny things. This is majorly used in almost all fields of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc. Richard Feynman, also known as the father of nanotechnology, introduced the idea of controlling and manipulating atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology has led to interesting developments in the field of medical science.

Spinal Cord Injury

Nanotechnology is currently under development. The current studies of nanotechnology comprise the delivery of drugs to the right cells with this technology and the use of nano-robots, nanochips, and nanowires in the future. It has also been discovered that nanotechnology has the potential for treating neural tissue. This can lead to the cure of many diseases that have no proper treatments nowadays.

In the future vision, nano-robots could be manufactured that would make repairs on things as tiny as a cell. Nanoparticles can be used to deliver drugs, restoring neural connections, etc. to specific cells. This way, damaged cells in the human body could be repaired easily and diseases could be diagnosed at an early stage.

Most of the sectors of nanotechnology are still under development. This includes nanoparticles which will be used to deliver chemo drugs directly to cancer cells. This would dramatically reduce negative impacts of chemotherapy on the human body.

Artificial Intelligence Impact Within Medical Industry

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an essential part of the rapidly developing technology industry. It is the creation of intelligent machinery that works and reacts like humans. The power of the modern day technology and the precision of mathematics enabled the creation of Artificial Intelligence.

The features of these supermachines include speech recognition, planning, reasoning, perception, and learning. These machines then have the ability to recognize problems and find the most applicable solution for each problem. Minor AI technologies have already been implemented in various sectors of our lives such as Apple’s Siri, Pandora, flying drones, etc.

Artificial Intelligence is yet to make its mega revolution in the healthcare sector. There are companies that are working on projects which can absolutely revolutionize the medical field!
