  Intragastric Balloon   What is an Intragastric Balloon? An Elipse balloon, also known as gastric balloon, is a medical device that is placed temporarily in the stomach to help with weight loss. The balloon takes up space in the stomach, making the person feel full sooner. As a result, it limits how much food the stomach can hold. This leads to feeling full with less food intake. The balloon stays inflated with saline solution inside the stomach for a period of 6 months. How does it work? An Intragastric Balloon works by limiting the stomach capacity, which in turn helps reduce food consumption. Being a non-surgical procedure, the gastric balloon is inserted through the mouth using an endoscope. Once placed inside the stomach, it takes up nearly one-third of the stomach space. This leaving less room for food. As a result, the patient feels full sooner after eating small portions of food. The restricted stomach size also slows down the emptying of food, providing the fe...

  Organ on a Chip Organs on a chip are microfluidic cell culture devices that mimic the activities, mechanics and physiological response of entire human organs and organ systems. These innovative devices are poised to revolutionize medical research and drug development. Mimicking Human Organs Organ on a Chip attempt to mimic essential aspects of living human organs such as structure, function and mechanical forces. For example, lung on a chip systems replicate the breathing motions of lungs using a microfabricated polymer chip containing living lung and blood vessel cells. These cells are cultured alongside a dynamic airway-blood interface and experience repeated mechanical stretching motions similar to what occurs during breathing. This allows scientists to study lung diseases and responses to toxic exposures in a far more realistic manner than conventional cell cultures. Human Organs on a Device In addition to lung chips, scientists have developed many other organ-specific c...

  Laryngeal Mask The laryngeal mask airway, commonly known as the LMATM, is a supraglottic airway device that was invented by British anesthesiologist Dr. Archie Brain in 1981. Since its introduction, it has gained widespread popularity and acceptance in clinical practice across both developing and developed countries due to its effectiveness and relative ease of use compared to conventional endotracheal intubation. Some key facts about it include: - It is inserted above the glottis instead of passing through the vocal cords like an endotracheal tube. This makes it a useful and safer alternative to endotracheal intubation in some clinical situations. - Various sizes and models have been developed over the years to accommodate patients of different ages and anatomy. This has expanded its clinical applications. - It helps maintain a clear Laryngeal Mask and provides a channel through which gases can be delivered to the lungs during general anesthesia or ventilation. - Placement ...

  Microchipping involves implanting small computer chips under the skin that can store and transmit personal information. Typically, the chips are around the size of a grain of rice and are implanted using a syringe. They operate using passive RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology, which means they draw power from nearby RFID readers rather than having their own power source. The implanted chips broadcast a unique identification number that can then be read by scanners and associated with someone's name, contact details, medical records and other personal data stored in external databases. Potential Benefits of Microchipping Humans Medical Identification and Access to Records One of the most compelling potential benefits of Human Microchipping is for medical identification and access to health records in emergency situations. An implanted chip could store a person's name, date of birth, allergies, medical conditions, and medications. Paramedics and hospital sta...
