How Ceramic Components are used for In-Body Medical Applications

Technical ceramics can be machined for very demanding applications where strength, wear resistance, biocompatibility and tight tolerances are essential. For example, in heart pumps and replacement parts for knees, elbows, hips, and spines. In this video, Scott Mittl, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing from Insaco^®, explains more about using sapphire, ceramic and glass parts for in-body applications.

			Novel device rapidly measures trace levels of toxic lead in sediments Rutgers researchers have created a miniature device for measuring trace levels of toxic lead in sediments at the bottom of harbors, rivers and other waterways within minutes - far faster than currently available laboratory-based tests, which take days.

			Study shows home monitoring program improves survival rates in infants with heart defects Interstage Home Monitoring (IHM) programs for infants with single ventricle heart defects help families recognize potential complications early and improve infant survival rates and growth prior to the second of multiple surgeries.

	Vaping-related lung injuries have suggestive patterns on CT scans Injuries to the lungs from vaping have suggestive patterns on CT scans that could help physicians make accurate diagnoses and reduce unnecessary biopsies, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

	AI algorithm proves to be as accurate as average radiologist in identifying breast cancer Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden have compared the ability of three different artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to identify breast cancer based on previously taken mammograms. The best algorithm proved to be as accurate as the average radiologist. The results, published in JAMA Oncology, may lead the way in reorganising breast cancer screening for the future.

	Researchers develop implantable radio-frequency transmitter chip for biomedical devices Purdue University innovators are working on inventions to use micro-chip technology in implantable devices and other wearable products such as smart watches to improve biomedical devices, including those used to monitor people with glaucoma and heart disease.

	New technology helps visualize entire genome at molecular resolution Scientists from Harvard University, CNAG, and CRG have demonstrated a pioneering technology that helps observe hundreds of genomes under the microscope.
