Intraoperative neurophysiological Monitoring Increase Patient’s Safety during Complicated Surgery

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is gaining a great deal of popularity in the field of neurosurgery. It is a medical technique that uses recordings such as EEG and EMG from the nervous system during surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring uses two-dimensional MRI techniques to measure the function of motor nerves, such as those that control the hand and feet. It is not limited to neurology, however, they are also used in rehabilitation facilities and intensive care units.

The key characteristic of IONM that distinguishes it from other neuroimaging modalities due to its high level of intra-and inter-observer reliability. Both intra-operator reliability and inter-observer reliability are significant to the clinical utility of IONM. Intra-operator reliability is an important factor in determining the accuracy of IONM results.

The goal of IONM is to provide accurate measures of the levels of neural activity in patients undergoing neurosurgery. It is widely used in rehabilitation clinics, neurological research, and rehabilitation centers. The main advantage of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is that it can be used for pre-operative neurosurgery assessment and for the prediction of brain injury in individuals who are at high risk for neurosurgery. The procedure is used for patients undergoing neurosurgery for treatment for stroke or Alzheimer's disease.

Key vendors are continuously introducing the innovative product in the field of neurology. Recently, WISE Srl, a medical device company engaged next-generation implantable leads for neuromonitoring and neuromodulation has enrolled its first patient in the pivotal clinical study of its WISE Cortical Strip in Germany

Pregnancy Testing Devices are proving to be revolutionary tool with hassle-free testing and rapid results

Image
Pregnancy Testing Devices are medical devices that aid in identifying the potential of pregnancy. It is mostly used by pregnant women for determining the exact time they missed their periods. Pregnancy Testing Devices come in different types like basal body membrane technique (BBMT), digital analysis, embryo transfer method (ETM), ultrasonic Doppler microform method (UDM), and hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Pregnancy Testing Devices is also calling pregnancy test kits.  They can also be termed as basal body membrane technique test kits. Pregnancy test kits are available in various online stores at affordable prices. The most common one is kits for basal body membrane technique (BBMT) and digital analysis. BBMT uses a wet mount for conducting the test whereas digital analysis requires no dry mounts. Some of the other methods of analyzing pregnancy tests include determining the LH level, HCG level, sugar level, cervical mucus, and viral detection. A pregnancy test can also be used for d...

New Study Highlights Development of Algae That Rapidly Produces Natural Astaxanthin

Image
Astaxanthin, a colorless pigment found in the human body, is produced by the oxidation of a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. It occurs in nature in varying concentrations, and is widely utilized in food and cosmetic products for its rich optical, chemical, and pharmaceutical properties. It is widely recognized as a dietary supplement due to its therapeutic effect in a vast range of diseases and conditions ranging from cataracts to diabetes and heart disease. However, it has not been examined thoroughly in humans suffering from diabetes because of the difficulty in obtaining animal protein and the fact that humans cannot absorb pigments derived from animal source. The primary source of astaxanthin in foods or supplements is marine phytoplankton, which is fed to the animals as a marine nutrition supplement. Recently, in October 2019, scientists from Japan have discovered that single-stage astaxanthin production enhances the non-mevalonate pathway and photosynthetic central metabolism in...

Growing need for real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities is escalating demand for automotive telematics

Image
  Automotive telematics is the application of car tracking technology to monitor routes and assess the use of a fleet of vehicles. It includes the monitoring and diagnostics of the vehicle's diagnostics system, fuel systems, and emissions. The automotive telematics system provides real-time visibility into the on-road and off-road activities of a vehicle. Vehicle information systems are designed to meet the demands of customer requirements, ranging from personal vehicle tracking and diagnostics to fleet management. Telematics applications are usually deployed on the fleet management software. This application is specifically designed to manage all vehicle-related activities including fuel efficiency, emission monitoring, repair and maintenance history, tracking mileage and delivery status, and remote recovery of vehicle assets. The benefits of this application include a reduction in operation costs, increased productivity, reduction in theft and damage, and faster recovery of vehic...
