Actualidad.rt. Los cirujanos Steven Claes, Evie Vereecke, Michael Maes, Jan Victor, Peter Verdonk y Johan Bellemans fueron los primeros que lograron identificar el ligamento anterolateral (ALL, por sus siglas en inglés) con las técnicas de la anatomía macroscópica. Para lograr el hallazgo los científicos estudiaron 41 rodillas de cadáveres humanos y encontraron el nuevo ligamento en 40 de ellas, es decir, un 97% de los casos estudiados. Y no solo se trata de un descubrimiento asombroso en esta época en la que parece que ya se sabe todo sobre el cuerpo humano, sino que la nueva parte del cuerpo parece jugar un papel importante en las lesiones del ligamento cruzado, común entre los atletas.

Social Media is a Suitcase Too Heavy for Clinicians To Carry November 2011 I’m uncertain about the potential utility of current social media tools in health, and I suspect I’m not alone. I’ve been struggling for a term to help me articulate my feelings towards the use of the terms “social media” in the context of “health” and “healthcare” for a while.
Struggling to the point where I’d avoid conversations for fear of the inevitable twitch in my left eye as I recognise, yet again, that I simply can’t compartmentalise the concepts as well as I’d like. This is despite malignant curiosity leading me to use most major new communication and technology trends around since View more → Wealth Biomarkers October 2010 I’m a fan of both longitudinal population studies and of the work of public health researcher Michael Marmot from the University College London.

Discovery of novel medicine for treatment of chronic wounds. 07:20, Medical research Every 20 seconds, a limb is lost as a consequence of diabetic foot ulcer that does not heal. To date, medical solutions that can change this situation are very limited. In his doctoral thesis Yue Shen from the Industrial Doctoral School and the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Umeå University presented a novel medicine for chronic wound treatment that may completely change the lives of millions of patients. Diabetic wounds are the most severe type of chronic wounds that largely impair the quality of life in patients and inflict an enormous burden on the healthcare system. World-wide, there are more than 350 million diabetic patients and about 20% of them develop diabetic foot ulcers that often do not heal, which eventually lead to amputation. Based on these studies, a controlled clinical study using human plasminogen to treat chronic wounds in humans is now planned.

No one has a crystal ball, but some predictions that I made in recent years are coming into sharp focus with every scientific advance. For starters, every year, more organs of the body can be grown in the laboratory from our own cells. Just last year, a complete windpipe was grown and implanted in a woman. Also, for mice, a complete beating heart was grown from scratch using stem cells. Also, the technology of bio-printers is making major strides and will continue to do so over the next few years. Image & Text from Organovo.com: The NovoGen MMX Bioprinter™ is a novel hardware and software platform at the forefront of bioprinting research and development.
Also, It took $3 billion to sequence all the genes of the first human. In science fiction, like Star Trek, there is device called the Tricorder which can magically scan any body and tell you what is wrong with it. Image: A tricorder from the original Star Trek television series.
