Sharp writes, “Medical sterile wipes are frequently used for various purposes in the healthcare industry. These specialised wipes are intended to keep the environment sterile and prevent the spread of illnesses or infections. They are used largely to disinfect and sanitise surfaces, medical equipment, and medical instruments. These wipes are used to prepare the skin before medical procedures, ensuring that it is clean and free of any potential bacteria or contaminants.” Read more of what he has to say.

B-Vector Laryngoscope is a direct laryngoscope prototype that contains no batteries, nor does it require an attached power cord.  As a result, it is an integral hand-held instrument that needs no disassembly/reassembly.  It can be sterilized in minutes – as easily as surgical instruments sent through central processing in hundreds of facilities every day; anywhere there is a steam autoclave. 

Dr Felix Feng writes, “The healthcare industry has witnessed a significant surge in interest and opportunity to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into care; diagnostics, clinical administration, treatment planning, and more. However, implementation remains limited, largely due to a lack of robust validation procedures. It is critical that healthcare professionals hold a level of skepticism in tension with open-mindedness about new technology, to ensure the patient receives the safest, quality care possible.” Read on to learn more.

Dr. Goldberg notes, “In contrast, the shoulder arthroplasty market is quite the opposite as competitive designs vary drastically in terms of implant bone fixation, geometry, and the resultant biomechanics. The “optimal” design is still yet to be discovered, though innovative companies are attempting to discover it. Yet, each device company is focused on the same goal: drive better patient outcomes with more consistent results.” Read on.

Dr Brown writes, “Artificial intelligence has revolutionized various industries, and its potential impact on surgery is profound. AI tools, when leveraged correctly, can serve as a powerful tool in standardizing surgical practices and closing the gap in expertise between experienced and novice surgeons. By analyzing vast amounts of surgical data, AI algorithms can identify best practices, provide real-time guidance, and offer valuable insights for surgeons. This enables less-experienced surgeons to replicate the techniques of their more skilled counterparts and accelerate their learning curve.”

Considering the high prevalence and disease burden of depression, researchers at BrainsWay and Ben Gurion University sought to shed light on the impact of quality of life for treatment-resistant depression patients following Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) therapy. They measured the effect of Deep TMS treatment on both symptom reduction and reported quality of life. Read more.
