L'impression 3D révolutionne la médecine ? On fait le point En ce mois de janvier 2014, l’impression 3D n’en est qu’encore qu’au temps des espoirs et des promesses. Additiverse vous propose un point sur les projets existants et évolutions médicales qui risquent de changer la médecine moderne, du diagnostique au traitement. Ici, nous n’essaierons pas de répondre aux questions d’éthiques, théologiques, philosophiques inhérentes aux avancées médicales. Nous vous proposons juste de faire un arrêt sur image l’impression 3D médicale en ce début 2014. Le monde de l’impression 3D est tellement riche en déclarations qui relèvent de la science-fiction, que pour beaucoup d’entre nous c’est l’incrédulité qui prend le pas et laisse place à St Thomas et son fameux dicton. L’impression 3D au secours d’un bébé : En octobre 2011, Kaiba Gionfriddo, né en bonne santé dans la ville de Youngstown dans l’état de l’Ohio. En 2011, Anthony Atala, chirurgien présente son projet de pallier au manque d'organe par l'impression d'un rein : Janvier 2014, Fayz Y.
2014/11/20 > BE France 295 > Cancer et ARN interférent : l'approche originale de Genel Le titre de "Cause nationale" a été créé en 1977 en vue de lutter contre le cancer. Or si de nombreux progrès ont depuis été réalisés, tous les cancérologues estiment qu'il reste aujourd'hui beaucoup de chemin à parcourir, alors que l'on enregistre tous les ans 12 millions de nouveaux cas dans le monde et 8 millions de décès dus au cancer. Qui plus est, sur 900 anticancéreux en développement chaque année, seule une dizaine sort, mais avec un taux d'échec de 90%. Découvert fortuitement au cours des années 1990, l'ARN interférent permet de bloquer l'expression de gènes, les rendant ainsi "silencieux". Entreprendre, une démarche pas facile "Quand je travaillais sur ma thèse, je ne me voyais pas créer une entreprise", avoue Gaëlle Saint-Auret. Le Taxicure d'ici 2017 Gaëlle a su également bien s'entourer de "personnalités" du monde industriel qui sont là pour l'accompagner dans son développement.
Harvard creates brain-to-brain interface, allows humans to control other animals with thoughts alone This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. Researchers at Harvard University have created the first noninvasive brain-to-brain interface (BBI) between a human… and a rat. Simply by thinking the appropriate thought, the BBI allows the human to control the rat’s tail. This is one of the most important steps towards BBIs that allow for telepathic links between two or more humans — which is a good thing in the case of friends and family, but terrifying if you stop to think about the nefarious possibilities of a fascist dictatorship with mind control tech. In recent years there have been huge advances in the field of brain-computer interfaces, where your thoughts are detected and “understood” by a sensor attached to a computer, but relatively little work has been done in the opposite direction (computer-brain interfaces). Which brings us neatly onto Harvard’s human-mouse brain-to-brain interface.
5 free courses on medicine for medical translators and writers Medical translators and writers come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some have a scientific or medical degree, while others may have studied journalism, languages or translation. For those with a non-medical background, there are a number of free online courses that can help build subject-matter understanding and medical terminology. Many universities around the world are now offering “Massive Open Online Courses” or MOOCs. Here are five of the best, free online courses on medicine and health care. Clinical Terminology for International and U.S. University of Pittsburgh (Coursera) 6 weeks, 2-4 hours per week Current session: 9 February – 27 March 2015 I took this course last year and found it useful, even though it’s pitched at a basic level. Although the current course has already started, you can still join in, or “watch” the course for news of future sessions. Introduction to Human Physiology Duke University (Coursera) 22 hours of videos and assessments Self-paced, start at any time
13 Incredible Tech Inventions You Won't Believe You Missed In 2013 | HuffPost Canada The tech world gave us plenty talk about in 2013. We can build smarter robots. We can 3D-print pretty much anything. Tablet wars are still going strong, Snapchat is still a thing, and now we can binge-watch our favorite TV shows in more ways than ever before. Yes, 2013 brought us many amazing innovations that we use every day. But here are some even more incredible ones that you may not have heard about: 1. (YouTube) If everything goes according to Shamees Aden's plan, you may one day never need to buy another pair of running shoes. 2. (YouTube) Like playing with LEGOs, a modular smartphone is a make-it-yourself device consisting of an endoskeleton base and modules that attach to create a custom phone. Motorola has been collaborating on a mission to make these devices a reality with Dave Hakkens, creator of a similar initiative called Phoneblocks, since this past fall. 3. (YouTube) 4. (YouTube) 5.

MIT Technology Review: Aggregate The 10 most intriguing inventions of 2018 We are all about emerging technologies here at Tech Review—including those that might never make it past the “emerging” stage. Here are some of the more recondite inventions we have covered this year, many of them plumbed from the arXiv, the pre-publication academic paper database. Artificial synapses An electronic synapse that fires millions of times faster than the ones in your brain could be used to build artificial neural networks. Anti-aging medicines A clinical trial of drugs called mTOR inhibitors found that they boosted elderly people’s immune systems, potentially extending their life spans. Electric planes with no moving parts Instead of propellers, this aircraft uses electroaerodynamic propulsion. DNA computing for programmable pills A new kind of DNA circuitry can decode the complex chemical pulses cells use to signal that, for example, they're damaged or under attack. Group brain-to-brain communication Seeing through walls using Wi-Fi Secure quantum communications via satellite
6 of the most amazing things that were 3D-printed in 2018 The hype may have died down a little, but 3D printing was still creating waves in manufacturing in 2018. On the important-but-boring side, manufacturing companies are using the tech for things like weight reduction and cost savings. More interestingly, architects carried out a number of experiments that pushed the artistic limits of what 3D printing can do. Here are some of the standout achievements and creations from 2018: 3D-printed steel bridge Unveiled at Dutch Design Week this year, MX3D’s printed pedestrian bridge will be installed in Amsterdam next year. 3D-printed homes There were some impressive new experiments in using 3D printing for construction this year. People have been trying to make 3D-printed houses for a while—we reported on one back in 2012. BMW’s millionth component While 3D printing is still seeking a larger foothold on the manufacturing floor, some higher-end car and aerospace companies have embraced it.
