Innovations Treating Baby Jaundice

What is Jaundice?

Jaundice occurs when the body cannot discharge bilirubin, a substance that normally occurs when red blood cells are destroyed. The more the substance develops, the more yellowish is the skin of someone becomes.
In babies who have not yet developed the compounds that allow their bodies to eliminate bilirubin, jaundice is not simply normal, but can also cause permanent damage or even death. 

While first world nations have the innovation and the cash to treat babies, this treatment is often excessively expensive for those developing countries. The yellowness caused by the accumulation of the bile color bilirubin in the blood, influences around 60 percent of babies, and around 5 to 10 percent have jaundice sufficiently to require phototherapy.

The Heart Rate Observation System HeRO

HeRO Monitor

HeRO is an innovative checking structure giving another instrument to clinical evaluations of preemies that identify pulse anomalies in an infant youngster’s heart sooner than more prepared watching systems used as a piece of the NICU.

Research coordinated at a segment of the best neonatal serious care units a.k.a NICUs on the planet demonstrates that kids checked by the Heart Rate Observation System screen (HeRO) had a diminishing in mortality of 20 percent contrasted with those that were not on the screen.

Revolutionary Method Treating Diabetes

Diabetes Disorder

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels, which result from defects in insulin secretion or action or both. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas.[1] Diabetes can be either type 1 or type 2. 

Type 1 diabetes is also called as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile onset diabetes mellitus. In type 1, the pancreas undergoes an autoimmune attack by the body itself and is rendered incapable of making insulin. Type 2 diabetes is referred as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult onset diabetes mellitus (AODM). 

In type 2 diabetes, the patient can still produce insulin but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs.[2] Complications of diabetes may be acute or chronic. An acute complication of type 1 diabetes involves diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and type 2 involves hyperosmolar coma.

Chronic complications are related to blood vessels and are classified into Microvascular disease or Macrovascular disease. The microvascular disease involves eyes, kidneys, and nerves causing blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage. Diabetes accelerates hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases. These are referred to as macrovascular diseases.[3] Chronic low-grade inflammation, which is present in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes, contributes to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. 

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.

World’s Top 7 Dental Equipment Manufacturers

Are you planning to purchase some new equipment for your dental practice? There are many companies out there providing this equipment. Some are good, while some provide substandard equipment. In this article, we have compiled a list of some of the best dental equipment providers in the world.

KAVO

KAVO has been providing dental supplies for more than 100 years. Its quality and innovative products have earned the company a good name among dentists, dental technicians, and dental hygienists. The company provides handpieces, imaging equipment and solutions, treatment units, and dental laboratory equipment. KAVO, which has a global presence, has over 3,000 employees. The Germany-based company has more than 2,200 patents.

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.
