Top 10 medical discoveries in recent years
There is a significant development in the world of discovery and medical research, every day reveals a new invention protects against serious illnesses or study highlights the treatment appeared in the recent period is almost impossible!
Tell us a leading Professor of Sweden for the top 10 medical discoveries in recent years:
1 - antibiotic to fight bacteria of all kinds
Scientists from the Spaniards a revolutionary development of antibiotic called "Blattincena" fighting all types of bacteria, and therefore it is linked chain is infected with fungus.
The researchers pointed out the drug "Blattincena" Unable to address a wide range of resistant bacteria, which are difficult to eliminate, Kjerthomp cluster meningococcal intestinal note that these Jerthomtin Mswloltan 80% of the infections that afflict people in the hospitals!
And works of this drug to disrupt the "enzyme" participates in the fat composition in Alkhmdip bacteria that attack different enzymes makes it more effective responses to the resistance.
2 - to spend on a new vaccine meningitis
A team of scientists to develop a new vaccine against bacteria that cause meningitis promises the elimination of the epidemic that swept through West Africa, during the last century.
And evaluate this new vaccine, developed by the program of vaccination against meningitis in collaboration with the World Health Organization WHO and the Institute "Morris" Indian of the onset of type A of meningitis.
In this context, said Dr. Norman Noah of the London Institute for tropical diseases and health education "that the preliminary results of the vaccine are encouraging, and if possible eliminate this type of meningitis that would be a great achievement!".
It should be noted that meningitis is a disease of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, also affects the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, can cause severe damage to the brain ends with the death of the patient.
3 - the first center for the treatment of tumor genes
Started the first center for clinical treatment of the Comprehensive Cancer genes and temperature in China on June 9 in Beijing, is the only center that takes a major method of gene therapy to treat tumors in the world.
Indicates head of the center, Li Deng Gang to treat tumors Bmorothet "genes" is intended to introduce genes "B 53" inhibitory of cancer to the human body to achieve the goal of discouraging the tumors and control.
According to Chinese news agency reported, "Xinhua," Gang said that the tumor is malignant in nature a kind of genetic diseases, and that the occurrence and development and regression Taatalqubtbdl genes and lack of it.
Therefore, gene therapy based on the change of genetic material of cells is the treatment for face substantial direct sources of disease through the heritage of natural or therapeutic effect to the target cells in the human body and is characterized by the benefits of more healing and the effectiveness and safety.
4 - a new way to treat sinusitis
Devised doctors Singaporeans a new technology is groundbreaking in the treatment of surgery and sinuses, including technical dubbed "Expanding the sinuses surgically using a balloon" the use of binoculars inside the nose of the patient, then put the balloon a small inside, too, when promoting the balloon expands in size, and thus lead to open the sinuses.
The wounds of Ear, Nose and Throat at the "Mount Elizabeth Medical" Adrian Sawrajen, that this method allows the discharge of mucus and relieve pressure resulting from the discharges that accumulate within the drainage channels mucus.
5 - a new drug for the treatment of liver cancer
Cancer experts reached a new drug for the treatment of liver cancer called "Soravnib" was described as a major achievement in the treatment of this type of cancer which is difficult to treat, affecting half a million people a year worldwide.
The researchers stressed that the results reached in an international study conducted on 602 patients with advanced cancer of the liver was speculatively, it is unlikely to change the way it dealt with the disease.
In this study, which began in March 2005, patients received either two tablets daily of the drug "Soravnib" or on CD are not effective, and in the Mediterranean lived group treated with the drug from 7 to 10 months compared to 8 months who had received the medicines are not affecting the rate difference of up to 44%.
For his part, said Dr. Joseph Lovett, who led the research team "that the rate of Alsamur in the face of the disease not previously recorded, never before in efforts to treat liver cancer, is a great achievement in dealing with this disease."
6 - Machine to determine the timing of birth
Japan's scientists developed a device is expected to open at the time of the pregnant woman, and then select the time of birth accurately.
The small size of this device and place it on a pregnant stomach analysis of electrical pulses, which issued from the uterus, which detected cases of contraction and relaxation, which they are exposed, during the open phase.
Scientists confirm that these indicators and vibrations begin to rise during the few weeks before birth, could be used to determine accurately the date open!
They have conducted preliminary tests of the device on 60 pregnant, succeeded in determining the exact date of birth, two weeks before they occur.
7 - Development of organizations from stem cells
May be able to heart patients soon use the heart of the organizations vital initial stem cells instead of electronic devices and industrial.
According to the newspaper "The Independent" British, the researchers reported success in isolating stem cells from human embryos donated in the first of its growth, and force it chemically to convert to muscle cells in particular heart has grown in pigs, laboratory, and because its members had more similarity with humans, to test their effectiveness and function.
The researchers found that the transplanted human cells produced a new pattern in the hearts of 11 animals of the 13 activity remained in five pigs, including limited strikes separately or run short, while the heart is grown six others, a pattern has developed a systematic and consistent and stable pump blood.
This study suggests the possibility of using genetic cell primary organizations in making the heart of the biological rather than industrial organizations, and it is used heartfelt Restorative Medicine in general.
8 - magnets latest way to cleanse the blood
Discovered a group of American researchers recently it has become now possible to use to cut small magnets with a very clean blood from the pathogens, and then protect the body from infection, sepsis, which kills more than 200 people a year in the United States, especially newborns and those with weakened in the immune system.
She pointed out that this new device, which was developed by Chung and Ling Yang succeeded in ridding the contaminated blood from more than 80% of the fungi in a single lane, an action which has become a viable therapeutic for clinical applications.
The researchers pointed out that the first step in that process are done by pulling a sample of the patient's blood, and add to small magnetic beads coated with antibodies for certain types of pathogens (such as the fungus Candida albicans).
Then run the blood through a system that Sailan side by side without Imetzja, but one of them contains the blood, and the other is a combination of liquid saline.
Subsequently, the beads associated with Bmspban disease, then one of the magnets then drag it (along with disease-causing agents) in the composition of the liquid, which is disposed of at the end of the day, while re-fresh blood once again to the body of the patient.
The device delivers a delicate cleanser for the blood an effective new weapon in the fight against pathogens in infants and adults with Bafn, where he works this device is simplified by removing the source of infection, and enhancing the patient's response to the antibodies present.
9 - a new device for the detection of lung cancer and respiratory diseases
Enable the medical team at the University of Dortmund, the German invention of a new device for the early identification of cancer and inflammation that may affect the lung, supports a new way of analysis of measuring the movement of electric charge in the exhale.
Carrying gases with air exhaled many indicators, usually the police in Germany for example, when are skeptical of the actions of drivers, their claim was blown into the tube a, to find out whether they had consumed alcohol or not, and get a result after a few moments.
It was concluded a team of German scientists that the exhaled air may also carries other indicators, which led scientists physics at the Institute of ISAS at the University of Dortmund, western Germany, to develop a device that analyzes the air outside of the lung to infer the different diseases diseases such as lung cancer and infections, which may affect the respiratory system.
And that measures the movement of electric charge of particles exhaled air, where the person when the test was breathing through a small tube for a few minutes, and then show the result after ten minutes on the computer screen in the form of curves refers to the species of destructive gases present in breath.
They also point to the available quantity of each gas, these gases provide much information on the health status of a human being, which referred to the presence of some six hundred kind of different gases in the lungs of every person. Currently, the new device being tested in three hospitals in Germany.
This helps the device physician to choose the appropriate treatment and varied uses, it is Vader also to detect the disease is less serious than cancer as the existence of bacteria in the lung, and in this case Ittia giving a patient antibiotics, but if you did not find bacteria, the cause of the disease virus, should the patient then Failure to tackle those antibiotics, because it is not futile in the case of HIV infection.
Can also measure the patient's health improved after two or three days dealt with medicine, and therefore know the extent of its effectiveness.
Moreover, they can measure the success of surgery and chemotherapy to get rid of the cancerous tumor.
10 - a new development in the world of eye
In the development of new scientific in the field of diagnosis, a team of researchers to develop a microchip to measure the genetic changes and the deterioration in the functions of the retina caused by inflammation.
This is the first tranche of its kind that will enable physicists and ophthalmologists from the rapid and accurate diagnosis of diseases of the retina, especially cause of blindness.
Preliminary experiments have shown on the slide accuracy and effectiveness by 99 percent in the diagnosis, in addition to low cost by 23 percent compared to other diagnostic methods.
Contribute to the slide in the comparison of data recorded between the members of one family in the case study the impact of genetic factor in the injury.
Is the retreat of the ability to see profiles of the most prominent symptoms caused by inflammation of the retina, in addition to the inability to see at night when activity is measured E of the functions of the retina to determine the severity and seriousness of these symptoms.
It's really good to know that many medical groups and companies are spending money to continuously make new discoveries and medical breakthroughs. Thanks a lot for sharing. By the way, this group of medical research assistants might interest and help you in some ways. More power!
