Anyone who devotes their life’s work to ensuring the well-being of breasts and to fighting the honorable fight against cancer, in our opinion, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize over environmental activists that have a household energy consumption 20 times the national average. Prof. Elias Siores, director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the UK, is such a fellow. He has invented a product called the Smart Bra, which is hoped will be used to detect the initiation of cancer-forming cells prior to any substantial proliferation. Continue reading…

Advanced technology has been pushed in the form of EEG binaural beats and bone conduction that read brain frequencies and change it toward the applied stimulus, without having a side-effect on user’s hearing. With 4 wave profiles—Meditation, Focus, Learn, Sleep to choose from, it looks we’ve taken a major leap as humans, for this concept lets us gain a substantial control over our intelligence-fueling tool.

The Armed Forces Institute for Regenerative Medicine invested $250 million in a project focused on therapies like the famous “Pixie Dust” that can help heal soldiers on the front lines in Iraq.The “skin gun,” it could spray skin-healing stem cells over a wound—helping it heal in a matter of hours.Because of its use of stem cells, a skin regenerating gun would certainly cause a stir among conservative types—but if you were caught out on a battlefield with a gaping wound, you would be begging for technology like this.
Given the relatively small amount of funding and the potential ethical roadblocks the military would run into trying to develop a skin gun, my guess is that we probably won’t see a device like this in our local pharmacy anytime soon. But it is interesting to think that it could be possible somewhere down the line.

An artificial heart is a prosthetic device that is implanted into the body to replace the biological heart. It is distinct from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB), which is an external device used to provide the functions of both the heart and the lungs. The CPB oxygenates the blood, and therefore does not need to be connected to both blood circuits.
Types:
1)Total Artificial Heart (TAH) implantation involves the removal of the native heart. It is a surgical procedure similar to heart transplantation with a human donor heart.
2)Cardiac (heart) assist devices differ from the TAH, in that the patient’s heart is not removed during implantation. Assist devices may include either a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) or a Right Ventricular Assist Device (RVAD) or both. As opposed to TAH implantation, the assist device serves to provide only a part of the total cardiac output of the patient’s heart.
This artificial heart you see here grosses me out, but count me in if it will be able to save lives. Originally invented by a human who is now too feeble to even row a boat, the artificial heart can pride Continue reading…
