Spelling interface using intracortical signals enabled neurofeedback training
Spelling interface using intracortical signals in a completely locked-in patient enabled via auditory neurofeedback training Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can lose all muscle-based routes of communication as motor neuron degeneration progresses, and ultimately, they may be left without any means of communication. Here, we implanted two 64 microelectrode...
Converting blood type A donor lungs into universal blood type lungs
Ex vivo enzymatic treatment converts blood type A donor lungs into universal blood type lungs A major challenge in lung transplantation is the need for ABO blood group matching. To address this challenge, Wang et al. used two enzymes, FpGalNAc deacetylase and FpGalactosaminidase, to convert blood group A lungs to blood group...
Dental Treatment recommendations before organ transplantation (german guideline)
This information is primarily intended for practitioners (physicians, dentists) involved in organ transplantation to facilitate coordinated care by the otherwise separate disciplines. The text is an abridged version of a detailed German guideline (here). Find recommendations for patients after transplantation here.In all patients in whom an organ transplant is planned,...
Dental treatment recommendations of children before and after organ transplantation
This information is primarily intended for practitioners (physicians, dentists) involved in organ transplantation to facilitate coordinated care by the otherwise separate disciplines. The text is an abridged version of a detailed German guideline (here). Early education of parents prior to organ transplantation about the connection between dental health and possible...

Biocompatible mini energy storage device for direct diagnosis in the body
Miniatur-Sensoren, die Vitalwerte direkt im Körper bestimmen sollen, sind hochkomplexe Systeme. Eine der größten Hürden stellt die Energieversorgung dar. An der TU Chemnitz haben Wissenschaftler jetzt Energiespeicher entwickelt, die zwar nur so groß wie ein Staubkorn sind, aber Spannungen vergleichbar mit einer AAA-Batterie liefern. Biosuperkondensatoren (BSCs)“. Sie besitzen zwei herausragende...
Visualization of USPIO-labeled melt-electrowritten scaffolds by non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging
Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a high-resolution fiber-forming technology for the digital fabrication of complex micro-structured scaffolds for tissue engineering, which has convincingly shown its potential in in vitro and in vivo animal studies. The clinical translation of such constructs to the patient requires the capability to visualize them upon implantation...
Research network in Hanover conducts research on intelligent implants
Researchers from a wide range of disciplines will work together to develop intelligent implant systems for the dental, skeletal and hearing areas, which for the first time will allow continuous monitoring of implant function and thus early detection of complications such as infections. Intelligent implant systems are to be developed...
Wissenschaftliche Untersuchung steril verpackter Medizinprodukte
100 original verpackte Zahnimplantate wurden mit einem Rasterelektronenmikroskop auf Rückstände untersucht. Folgende Materialien wurden gefunden: Metallische Partikel mit deutlichen Anteilen von Kupfer, Zinn, Chrom, Eisen, Wolfram und Nickel. Filmische Rückstände und kohlenstoffhaltige Partikel. Chemikalien wie z. B. Erucamid, Dodecylbenzolsulfonsäure. Der Autor diskutiert die medizinische Relevanz dieser Befunde. Author(s) Source Duddeck...
