Minimally Invasive Wireless Device to Provide Options for Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Surgery has been the sole option that delivers a solution for those diagnosed with colorectal cancer. However, surgery is often complicated by disease relapse at the original site where the tumor was found when residual microscopic tumor cells are left behind during the surgery. Although it can lead to harmful side effects, chemotherapy is a treatment choice that is frequently given along with surgery.

Implantable Mini Solar Cells for Nerve Stimulation

The technology enables completely new types of implants that can be used to stimulate nerve cells and was developed in a joint effort by researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), the Medical University of Graz (Med Uni Graz), the University of Zagreb and the Czech CEITEC. The basis of this technology involves colour pigments from the food industry, such as those used in organic solar cells.

Researchers Develop a Nonsurgical Implant to Treat People with Obesity

Weight-loss surgery can be an effective obesity therapy when eating and exercise are ineffective. Individuals who do not want surgery, on the other hand, can have an appetite-suppressing balloon or perhaps another implant placed in their stomach.

New Endoscope Combines Ultrasound with OCT to Assess Structural Features of the Endometrium

Researchers have developed a new endoscope that combines ultrasound with optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess structural features of the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, in unprecedented detail. The new probe could one day help doctors diagnose infertility problems that are related to endometrial receptivity with greater accuracy than current imaging technologies while reducing the need for invasive biopsies.
