Posted by ArielTechGeek 404 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Among the more than 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of cargo that blasted off from Cape Canaveral on the 30th of January, bound for the International Space Station, were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D printer designed especially for use in orbit and the first miniaturized surgical robot to be sent to the station.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: International Space Station, 3D Printing, M
High altitude 'prehab' may reduce surgical complications in older patients
Posted by ArielTechGeek 465 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that placing older, sedentary adults in a simulated high-altitude environment with reduced oxygen for a week before major surgery greatly improved their hemoglobin levels, addressing a common preoperative problem, anemia, that can lead to surgical complications.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: High Altitude, Surgery, King's College London
Four-armed robotic surgical system is controlled by hands and feet
Posted by ArielTechGeek 615 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Robotic surgical systems such as the da Vinci X are very impressive, with their two arms that are controlled by the surgeon's two hands. An experimental new system takes things even further, though, by adding two more arms controlled by the user's feet.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: EPFL, Surgical robot
Contraceptive gene therapy injections in cats replaces surgical spaying
Posted by ArielTechGeek 642 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Getting your cat spayed is a normal part of pet ownership, but it can be expensive, invasive and not very practical on strays. Now scientists have developed and tested a new method that renders female cats permanently sterile with a single gene therapy injection.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Cats, Pets, Pet-owners, Contraception, Animals, Animal science, Massachusetts General Ho
Minimally-invasive surgical tools pop into shape inside the body
Posted by ArielTechGeek 701 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
One of the challenges of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery lies in getting surgical instruments into the patient's body via a narrow catheter. Scientists have set about addressing that problem, with magnetic instruments that pop into and out of shape as needed.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: ETH Zurich, Surgery, Folding, Magnetic, Soft Robotics
