For what it is used

Physicians use ICD to prevent sudden death caused by certain types of cardiac arrhythmias. Your doctor may recommend an ICD in the following situations:

- If you survived an episode of ventricular fibrillation-threatening.
- If you have had episodes of abnormally fast heartbeat (ventricular tachycardia).
- If you have an enlarged heart as a result of heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy and syncope (unexplained).
- If you have coronary artery disease, your heart pumps a small amount of blood and has a high risk of having an abnormally high heartbeat (ventricular tachycardia).
- If you have a genetic (inherited) of heart disease that can cause sudden death (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), even in young people. Read the rest of this entry »

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a medical device that is placed inside the body. An ICD is threatening abnormal heart rhythms of life (called arrhythmias), including ventricular fibrillation, which causes large muscle chambers (ventricles) of the heart beat in uncompressed or pump blood. When this happens, there is no real beats and there is no sufficient blood flow to the brain and to other organs, including the heart. As a result, a person with ventricular fibrillation loses consciousness and can die within minutes.

An ICD consists of two parts. The pulse generator looks like a small box. It is implanted under the skin below the collarbone. The box contains a rechargeable lithium oxide (lasting between five and nine years) and electrical components that analyze the heart’s electrical activity. Connected to the pulse generator are one or more electrodes, which travel to the heart. When the CDI notice an abnormal heart rhythm, a brief electrical impulse runs deep into the heart, correcting the abnormal rhythm. Many people say that the download feels like a blow to the chest, although the type of pain varies. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are familiar with biotechnologies and microorganisms, then you probably know who Lindsay Rosenwald is. He is the owner of a multi-billion conglomerate of companies from biotechnology and financial area, and also the most suited person to talk with us about the future of those technologies.

Lindsay Rosenwald seems fascinated about nature and what it can give to us. The nature is generous, and we must value what it gives. This doesn’t mean that we must try to modify it completely. There is a certain order in nature, and it must be respected. Such philosophical beliefs are surprising from a person that seems so pragmatic, but he tells us that without those beliefs, you can’t succeed. There are arguments about biotechnologies, and it is normal for a technology that is still in an experimental phase.

The activity of the Lindsay Rosenwald group has the purpose of solving different problems of the humanity. Some of them have a scientific nature, while others are productive problems. Of course, the educational factor can’t be neglected.

The goals of the biotechnological group of Lindsay Rosenwald are clear in the near future: finding the best methods to grow and deposit the microorganisms, stimulating the metabolism, of those organisms to obtain superior quality germs and mushrooms, and also the usage of natural methods to increase the productions. Moreover, those organisms must be raised in symbiosis with some new mushrooms, with an increased interest from the therapeutic medicine for humans. It is perfectly known that some affection find their remedy in some combinations between the mushroom and the plants, and the results are amazing. Moreover, the group is also interested in educating the students, creating a new generation of researchers and specialists, and also a new educational concept.

The research process needs finality, as the people consuming and using those mushrooms must be satisfied with their quality. The growers continue the research process, and if the different parts implied in the process can’t communicate effectively, the whole process is compromised. This is why Lindsay Rosenwald preferred to gather all the stages of the process under a single name, and his company offers an integrated solution, from the research phase to advanced usages of those organisms. Failure is not an option for this group, and Rosenwald still has some decades ahead to find new organisms and mushrooms that will change the life of humankind forever.

How is arthroscopy?

Like any surgical procedure requires anesthesia:

- In the hip, knee and ankle is commonly used spinal anesthesia, the anesthetic is inserted in the back, sleeping both legs above the waist but the patient is conscious.

- In the shoulder should be used with general anesthesia.

Practice is usually two (sometimes three) incisions or cuts in the skin, less than a centimeter each, which we introduce:

- A metal tube with an optical system that illuminates and magnifies the inside of the joint, seeing the image on a television monitor.

- A series of hand grippers and tools smoothed tubular motor, for working in the joint.

- To check out the inside of the joint should be filled with sterile serum pressure, which makes the effect of inflating a balloon. Read the rest of this entry »

What is arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a surgical technique that allows direct view of the interior of a joint and work within it without opening it.

What use is arthroscopy?

It is commonly used for knee problems, shoulder, ankle, wrist, elbow and, less frequently, hip. It has very few side effects compared with traditional surgery.

Be aware that the tests called image, such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, in many cases are not able to see joint injuries. Arthroscopy is useful when these tests fail, but the problems detected are only those that occur within the joint:

- Injuries to the articular cartilage, forming craters may be eroded (chondropathies) that rub against healthy cartilage, wear out, or pieces can break off the crater, producing loose bodies floating in the fluid that bathes the joint and locked when they change site. Read the rest of this entry »
