In the event of bone fractures and damage, growth factors released at the site of injury begin the healing process by stimulating osteoblasts, fibroblasts, endothelial, and other specialized cells to in order to restore tissue to its original strength and shape. Bone generates its own piezoelectric current, and once bone has been traumatized, it responds positively when electromagnetic energy is applied to it in order to speed up the healing process. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128402711 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=128402711 Best Practices Research This segment contains the awards for the mobility aids markets in Europe, 2008. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-homepage.pag?Src=RSS&repid=Q0F6-01-00-00-00 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:05:35 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-homepage.pag?Src=RSS&repid=Q0F6-01-00-00-00 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.
