Over the decades, research in the medical sector has achieved some wondrous results by utilizing a whole host of novel technologies. One of these technologies is 3D printing, and it is now being used in the fight against diabetes – a disease that causes irregularities in a sufferer’s blood sugar levels. We’re not quite at …
Skin cancer is among the most common causes of cancer in humans. Last year in the US alone, over half a million people were diagnosed with this disease’s variants. The usual diagnosis is made using clinical examinations and biopsies. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma are the three most common skin …

All living things degenerate in health as they use their molecular machinery to extract nutrients and energy from the environment. We can say that aging is an obligatory disease of living beings. There are many reasons for this natural aging, losing telomerase action encoded in our genome, being lost is the main one. Telomeres are …
The transformation of the environment is an intrinsic characteristic of nature. Not only the physical history of the universe, through cosmic collisions, exchanges of inert energies end up metamorphosing the principles of the matter that conforms us; but also, a magical conversion – somewhat alchemical –, occurs thanks to the action of living beings. The …

A cardiac pacemaker is a medical equipment that generates impulses within the heart in case of an abnormal heart rhythm and coordinates the electrical signaling between the heart’s chambers. Since the development of the first cardiac pacemaker in 1958, this therapeutic device has undergone several modifications. Every year, thousands of surgeries are performed in cardiac …
The Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare sector has improved workflow and patient satisfaction along with better equipment utilization-thanks to the skyrocketing demand for wearable smart devices. In radiology, IoT plays a crucial role by integrating smart devices and mobile phones into the workflow of radiographic diagnostics. IoT in radiology is proving to be …
The history of vaccines is older than is usually thought. There is written evidence showing primitive vaccination during the 10th century in China, during the Liao dynasty. This remedy against smallpox consisted of pulverizing dried cow pustules and applying them to a wound inflicted on the patient. It should be noted that this was long …

The evolutionary tree of humans has always had a steep upward trajectory. From Homo habilis to the Neandertals, we have seen each species get smarter and more advanced with every turn of the generation. Now, it is time for the next generation to climb a ladder in the human evolutionary tree. What is Human Augmentation? …
