It is estimated that such disorders are responsible for 4 million deaths in Europe every year. This rapidly growing healthcare problem has however spurred greater initiatives amongst healthcare professionals as well as vendors worldwide to develop better technologies and clinical diagnostic tools to fight the disorders. The fierce competition amongst the vendors has given a huge boost to the technology development cycle of most products pertaining to the European medical imaging modalities for cardiology applications. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129441437 Fri, 9 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129441437 Technical Insights Alert This week's edition of Medical Device Technology Alert features articles on a clinical system for anaesthesia, a ventricular assist device, an implantable device for tracking tumors and fising radiation dose, a peripheral artery bypass graft, inner ear implant, bioartificial pancreas, a nanotech-based device for drug delivery, and nanotube sensors to monitor insulin levels. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D850-00-6E-00-00 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 04:49:35 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D850-00-6E-00-00 Market Insight European Ultrasound Market http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128459931 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128459931 Market Insight Michael Faraday first used the word electrode, which was derived from elektron a Greek word. In electronic circuits electrons serve the purpose of hording or discharging electrical charge through a circuit. In medicine, the physiological signals in the human body are captured using various kinds of electrodes. This technique is termed electrophysiology. To detect the potential change in the different organs of the body and monitor their activity the study of physiological signal is instrumental. For the heart, study carried out is termed Electrocardiography (ECG). http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128138959 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128138959 Technical Insights Alert This week's issue of Drug Discovery Technology Alert profiles articles on isobaric mass tags that enhance accuracy and reproducibility of proteomic experiments, a unique method of cell-free gene expression, microfluidic chip-based technology for cell-based assys for drug discovery, a virtual method of drug screening for drug discovery, aptamer-based biomarker discovery technique, a novel screening technique that enhances fragment-based drug discovery, microfluidic technology to study platelet aggregation, and combination therapy for prostrate cancer. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D950-00-0D-00-00 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:44:40 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D950-00-0D-00-00 Technical Insights Alert This week's edition of Medical Diagnostic Imaging Technology features articles that include quantification of mitral regurgitation,graphical user interface for intelligent analysis, detection of frost bite in biological tissues, an image analysis technology that facilitates better diagnosis, a novel cancer detection device, a non-invasive technique to assess bone strength and quality, a device that tackles the shortcomings of fluorescent imaging, a mechanical imaging system for diagnosing prostate cancer and a device that is positioned as an effective substitution for the painful processes involved in cervical examination http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D860-00-2E-00-00 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:39:41 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-service-segment.pag?Src=RSS&segid=D860-00-2E-00-00 Technical Insights Alert Fuzzy-Logic Delivery Systems--Functionalized solid lipid nanoparticles with complex surface chemistry are a big step in creating smart imaging and therapeutic agents for treatments for cancers.
