Researchers developed a chip-based metasurface biosensor that detects traumatic brain injury (TBI) biomarkers at ultra-low femtogram levels. This technology could eventually enable rapid, point-of-care diagnoses in emergency and sports settings.

JMIR Publications, a leading Open Access digital health research publisher, and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) are pleased to announce a two-year extension of their Institutional Publishing Agreement, prolonging their successful partnership through June 30, 2028.

A new mathematical model developed at the University of Houston can help cities identify their most critical vulnerabilities before disaster strikes. 

A new algorithm could drive breakthroughs in understanding cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and other potentially fatal conditions.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo developed the machine learning algorithm, called  RNovA, to detect changes in the proteins in human cells.

A research paper by scientists from Tsinghua University presented a novel text sequence stimulation paradigm that combines periodic visual stimulation with orthographic information and elicits distinct occipital and occipitotemporal scalp response patterns relative to conventional brightness flicker.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 15 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed a novel text sequence stimulation paradigm that dramatically improves user comfort without sacrificing performance.

According to a new study, 3D-printed spine models may support the work of spine surgeons, particularly in understanding highly complex cases and planning surgical procedures. The findings come from a study conducted at the Doctoral School of Semmelweis University and published in the journal World Neurosurgery. The researchers found that the technology could benefit not only physicians but also patients and their families by making it easier to explain spinal conditions and planned interventions.

A review paper by scientists from Shenzhen University compared 2 complementary technology paths: “tethered” catheter systems designed for rapid and operator-controlled reopening of large vessels, and “untethered” micro/nanoscale systems, including injectable carrier-based platforms and actively actuated micro/nanorobots, that can be actuated and guided by magnetic, ultrasound, or light energy to seek, penetrate, and disrupt clots at the microscale.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 5 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, compared two complementary technology paths – “tethered” catheter systems and “untethered” micro/nanorobotic platforms – and outlines how their integration under imaging guidance could transform thrombus recanalization.

A recently released child-safety battery designed to reduce the danger of accidental ingestion is showing significant promise, but medical professionals should not alter their management protocols yet.
