Because dissimilar tissues react differently to outside stimuli, each layer will vibrate at its own unique frequency when stimulated.  This can be measured and converted into an image by means of ultrasound detectors.  Researchers have used light, ultrasound, and RF energy for stimulating, and the results from RF ...

But there’s money to be made in fat reduction, so the gimmicks will just keep coming. Enter “tickle” lipo, a new technology superimposed on the liposuction game. In this newer version of the basic liposuction technique, the cannula — the instrument used to remove the fat — vibrates like a whip inside your fatty layers. This supposedly helps remove the fat more evenly and with less pain. Tickle lipo looks like a hybrid between two other forms of lipo already on the market: Power-assisted liposuction (PALS) in which a motorized cannula breaks up the fat, and ultrasonic liposuction in which sound waves do it. Will tickle l...

Controlling internal bleeding without surgery or stitches?  Didn’t I see that on Star Trek?  Yes, but autonomous acoustic hemostasis is already here.  It’s an exciting technology based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) used to induce targeted blood coagulation within the body. Uncontrolled bleeding is a life-threatening concern with trauma, surgery, and stroke patients. When I asked Dr. Timothy Fabian, MD, Wilson alumni professor of surgery and chairman of the department of surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, about the numbers, he confirmed, “Traumatic injuries kill more than 170,000 people each year.” Blood loss is one of the first priorities in treating trauma and hemorrhagic stroke.  In fact, according to the National Trauma Institute...

Now a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has shown that analyzing the unique signature of children’s pre-speech vocalizations can be a pretty good way to identify potential cases of autism.

Not all hearing loss is preventable. Someone could lose their hearing because of an injury, an illness, or as a side effect from a toxic medication. But a gradual decline in hearing isn’t the same thing. Acoustic trauma is a common cause of hearing loss and it is the result of mechanical damage in the ear. It could be from a sudden instance, such as an explosion or gunshot, or it can be over a long term, such as working in an extremely loud environment. Today, it could even be caused by listening to music players with earphones, but with the sound turned too high. Unfortunately, ...
