Villanova University scientist, Qianhong Wu has developed a novel method to assess the results of a BAFMD test, including a system and device that evaluate the output and results of an FMD process. It produces a diagnostic tool that overcomes the previous issues of interpreting an FMD test. There is significant potential for the tool […]
Taking a radically new approach to eradicate topical infections, LIMR researchers have developed a set of topical over-the-counter (OTC) formulations of safe and effective agents. Their new approach is based on the concept of treating the infection ecology, which includes not only the microbial agent but also (1) the local supportive microbiome for the microbe, […]
Scars are an inescapable consequence of surgical wound healing because of normal processes of repair in mammals. For functional and cosmetic reasons, there is great interest in developing tools for non-scarring regeneration of normal tissue after a surgical procedure. While considerable effort has been dedicated to improving suturing and wound healing strategies that reduce scarring, […]
The use of supports for limbs during medical procedures and recovery is common. A wide variety of limb support devices are available on the market, however, none are ideal. Some are bulky and not easily maneuverable. Others are permanently fixed to hospital beds. Other types of limb supports are intricate and expensive, and some can […]
