Disease relevance of Technology, Medical

  • In a recent Health Affairs article, David Cutler and Mark McClellan found that new medical technology confers positive net benefits for several conditions, including heart attacks, cataracts, and depression [1].
  • The aging of our population, combined with an increased acceptance of medical technology, has focused greater attention on optimizing health during the "golden years." Androgen replacement therapy may remedy many of the deleterious consequences of hypogonadism [2].
 

High impact information on Technology, Medical

  • Two of the assays, Bio-EnzaBead (Litton Bionetics, Charleston, S.C.) and Rotazyme (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill.), are enzyme immunoassays, while the third, Rotalex (Medical Technology Corporation, Somerset, N.J.), is a latex agglutination assay [3].
  • Subjects recruited from SLE research laboratories and a membership roster provided by the American Society for Medical Technology were classified according to self-reported frequency of handling blood from patients with SLE into high and low exposure groups [4].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Despite recent advances in medical technology, monitoring of asthma and COPD has not changed significantly [5].
  • Twenty posterior-stabilized Axiom PSK (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, TN) TKAs (group 1) were compared with 20 posterior cruciate-sacrificed Advance medial pivot (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, TN) TKAs (group 2) [6].
  • With new discoveries in the pathobiology of cancers and introduction of new medical technology, pathological and biological factors of HCC in relation to prognosis have been studied quite extensively [7].
 

Anatomical context of Technology, Medical

  • BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A combination product of bioassayed, demineralized bone matrix (AlloGro, AlloSource, Denver CO) and calcium sulfate pellets (OsteoSet, Wright Medical Technology, Arlington TN) was utilized in a prospective clinical study in 50 patients in need of bone-grafting procedures [8].
 

Associations of Technology, Medical with chemical compounds

  • From 1987 to 1990, this author developed, together with the biomaterial division of Sulzer Medical Technology, a pure titanium shell with a polyethylene-backed 28-mm forged cobalt-chromium liner insert [9].
  • In particular, high technology medical or surgical applications, such as enteral and parenteral nutrition support, are often perceived as cost-increasing rather than cost-reducing [10].
  • METHODS: 15 implantations of calcium sulfate pellets Osteoset (Wright Medical Technology) were performed following resection of bone tumors at our service during 1999 [11].
  • Medical technology at the John A. Burns School of Medicine [12].
  • METHODS: We compared the 10-90% rise times for O2, CO2, N2O and isoflurane for the RAMS with different catheter configurations to those of a MedSpect mass spectrometer (Allegheny International Medical Technology) operating under ideal conditions [13].
 

Gene context of Technology, Medical

  • The use of 1-methoxyPMS will be beneficial in biochemistry as well as medical technology, where PMS has been used as an electron mediator in various electron transfer systems [14].
  • In a survey of a B19 outbreak in a school for medical technology, 6 (28.6%) of 21 non-immune females seroconverted [15].
  • The development of medical technology can be attributed to this trend; however, QOL for patients with diaphragmatic hernia was assessed less favorably by less experienced surgeons (as 66.1%) than by more experienced surgeons (as 81.6%) [16].
  • In recent years, medical technology has improved considerably and the possibilities to replace destroyed parts of the body that have been affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have grown also [17].
  • We're building peace. An interview with Yolanda de Landos, Director of Nursing, School of Medical Technology, National University of El Salvador. Interview by Patricia Moccia [18].
