UCLA engineering and Mattel Children's Hospital collaborate to develop children's heart valve

...In contrast, patients who have valves replaced via catheter could go home as early as the following day, with little pain. While catheter-based valve replacement procedures already are revolutionizing valve replacement for larger patients, smaller children have not yet benefited from this technology. Althoug...

International scientists to present MRSA research in Liverpool

... the skin, via surgical wounds and burns, and also catheter and joint replacement sites. World renowned scientist, Professor Henri Verbrugh from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, will lead the conference in a discussion about how Staph aureus establishes itself in the nose. If scientists can understand how th...

New research links placenta praevia directly to assisted reproductive techniques

... placed in the uterus when it is transferred via a catheter through the cervix. The procedure may induce uterine contractions, possibly due to the release of prostaglandins after stimulation of the cervix, leading to more embryos implanting low-down in the uterus. In addition, because research has shown that ...

Gene screen for breast cancer better than pathologist's 'eye'

... process called ductal lavage, a saline wash via a catheter threaded through openings in the nipple leading to the vast network of breast ducts. Cytopathologists correctly identified seven of 21 (33 percent) fluid samples containing cancer, and ruled out the disease in nearly all cases negative for cancer (...

Bubbles go high-tech to fight tumors

...ures, Bull said. The emboli must be delivered by a catheter placed into the body at the tumor site. Gas bubbles, on the other hand, allow very precise delivery because their formation can be controlled and directed from the outside, by a focused high intensity ultrasound. This envisioned technique is act...

Heavy drinking can hasten the progression of the simian immunodeficiency virus disease

...utive days per week via an indwelling intragastric catheter in order to attain a blood alcohol concentration of 0.23 to 0.28 percent. This would be considered the human equivalent of "chronic binge drinking." Control rhesus macaques (n=16 males) were given a sucrose solution under the same conditions. Afte...

Top scientists meet for Global Conference on Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiovascular Diseases

...: The first randomized study of myoblasts given by catheter delivery for patients with CHF, presented by Dr. Patrick Serruys Next-Generation Heart Muscle Cells: Advances in Skeletal, Myocardial, Embryonic, and Bone Marrow Derived Techniques A Preview of First-in-Human Studies Planned for the Coming...

Researchers warn milk eliminates cardiovascular health benefits of tea

Adult stem cells to repair hearts damaged by severe coronary artery disease investigated

...The researchers then use a special investigational catheter that functions like a "global positioning system" to precisely deliver CD34+ cells, or placebo, into the areas of the heart that have been identified as having poor blood flow. Subjects are randomly selected to receive either one of two dosing leve...

Heart intervention doesn't outweigh medicine in study

...at involve clearing blocked vessels by inserting a catheter into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or arm, allowing the physician to access the blockage). While the study did show that patients who underwent PCI had the most relief from symptoms of angina, or mild chest pain that usually occurs with exerti...

A novel molecular dictator 'with a conscience' discovered

...ood cells as well as the bad. If you had to have catheter intervention to re-open an occluded artery, for sustained symptom-free benefit you would be hoping for suppressed smooth muscle cell growth, without affecting endothelial cell growth, says Professor Khachigian. And thats exactly what happens when ...

American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac -- Aug. 1, 2007

... in the study would be in the treatment of urinary catheter infections, where the drug is held latently in the catheter, and is released when needed. The system could be applied for other conditions using an implant under the skin for precisely controlled drug dosing, the researchers suggest. ARTICLE #2 FOR...
