The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently granted marketing authorization for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) implant, intended to perform as an alternative to traditional ACL reconstructions. The Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair (BEAR) Implant, by Miach Orthopaedics, differs from the traditional surgical reconstruction as it does not require the use of harvested tendons for ACL repair but rather helps the tendon to rebuild itself.

AI uses colorful, time-lapse heat maps to identify the features of embryos that could result in more successful implants and develop into a pregnancy.
Although in vitro fertilization solely involves a sperm and an egg, the process leading to an embryo can be more challenging than just putting the two together. In 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that approximately 10% of women in the U.S. between the ages of 15-44 had difficulty either getting pregnant or avoiding a miscarriage. This demographic of women suffering from ovulation disorders directly translates into a potential patient population for assisted reproduction procedures. According to one Israeli machine learning startup, AI has the potential to boost the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IV…

Based on the type of study designs and manuscripts, there are different types of manuscript authoring guidelines such as CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for randomized trials; STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) for observational trials; CAse REport guidelines (CARE) for case reports; Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for systematic reviews and meta-analyses; and STAndards for Reporting of Diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) for diagnostic accurateness.
Medical Writers often seek information on global best practices that will enhance scientific manuscript writing skills while adhering to industry standards. Here we provide contemporary guidelines that should be followed while publishing…
Pharmaceutical excipients can also be used in the manufacturing process, for example, by promoting the flowability or non-stick properties of the powder to assist in the handling of related active substances. In addition, they can also assist in vitro stability, such as preventing denaturation during the expected shelf life. The choice of suitable excipients also depends on the route of administration and dosage form, as well as the active ingredient and other factors.
Pharmaceutical excipients are natural or synthetic substances formulated together with the active ingredients of the drug, whose purpose is to increase the formulations containing effective active ingredients or endow the active ingredients in the final dosage form with therapeutic effects, such as promoting drug absorpt…

Interventional cardiology is a minimally-invasive technique that uses catheters to treat coronary arterial disease, which is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. These procedures allow the heart to continue functioning at its best moving almost 3,000 gallons of blood every day. Based on the European Heart Journal, cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than four million deaths annually, accounting for nearly 45% of all deaths in Europe.
The COVID-19 outbreak caused massive procedural deferrals resulting in a spike of late-presenting STEMS and an increase in death rate in patients waiting for procedures Interventional cardiology is a minimally-invasive technique that uses catheters to treat coronary arterial disease, which is one of the leading causes of death in the…
While negotiations are still ongoing, the structure of the post-Brexit medicine testing and approval process is still unclear, and the UK government has so far ruled out an extension to the transition period which is due to come to an end at the end of this year.
While negotiations are still ongoing, the structure of the post-Brexit medicine testing and approval process is still unclear, and the UK government has so far ruled out an extension to the transition period which is due to come to an end at the end of this year. What is clear is that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is becoming independent to the EMA’s drug approval and oversight process. It might result in the testing and release of products being completed under two separate regulatory frameworks. D…

Cancer research has come a long way during the past several years. What does the future of cancer treatment look like?
The past few years have been an exciting time in the field of cancer research as some of the top minds in the world try to find ways to fight a disease that is only becoming more common. There are a few top cancer research findings that have risen to the surface. 1. Cancer Energy Source First, researchers found that cancer cells need an unlimited supply of energy and this usually comes in the form of glucose. A research team found that leukemia cells, a type of blood cancer, will undercut the ability of normal cells to consume glucose. They were able to steal glucose from healthy cells, fueling the growth and spread of cancer throughout the body. Furthermore, the r…
Within this article, the use of coagulation testing is discussed in assessing the potential outcomes for COVID positive cases.
With the level of incidence of thrombosis in patients admitted to hospital in severe condition due to the disease, coagulation tests such as D-dimer, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) have become important indicators for hospitals. A study published by a French group in May 2020 in Intensive Care Medicine (1) shows an increase in the occurrence of prothrombotic events, especially pulmonary thromboembolisms, in patients with severe clinical symptoms of Covid-19 infection. Given the urgency of the current situation caused by the new coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) pandemic, studies on this topic have been intensified worldwide at a rec…

Resistance to anticancer drugs results from a variety of factors, and individual genetic difference is just one of them. This article is about how to overcome drug resistance against KRAS inhibitors in cancer treatment.
Recently, KRAS and KRAS-G12C mutant inhibitors, which were previously considered to be "non-drugable" targets, have ignited a development boom. However, KRAS inhibitors are not a "magic bullet" for once and for all. Drug resistance is a major problem that frequently occurs in cancer treatment. In clinical practice, tumor tissue becomes significantly smaller after targeted therapy, but soon deteriorates again. Such scenes are commonly observed in real situations. Amgen's latest clinical trial results also indicate that some patients treated with the KRAS-G12C inhibitor AMG 51…
