FDA approves Otimizer Smart heart failure device from Impulse Dynamics
The FDA today said it approved the Optimizer Smart heart failure device developed by Impulse Dynamics under its breakthrough device designation. The Stuttgart, Germany-based company’s device is designed to remodel the myocardium to increase the heart’s efficiency using “cardiac contractility modulation” – non-excitatory electrical pulses delivered to the heart muscle. An FDA advisory panel last December recommended approval for Optimizer Smart, voting voted 12-1 on safety, 11-2 on efficacy and 12-0, with a single abstention, that its benefits outweigh the risks. The system has had CE Mark approval in ...

Mechanoresponsive self-growing hydrogels inspired by muscle training
Living tissues, such as muscle, autonomously grow and remodel themselves to adapt to their surrounding mechanical environment through metabolic processes. By contrast, typical synthetic materials cannot grow and reconstruct their structures once formed. We propose a strategy for developing "self-growing" polymeric materials that respond to repetitive mechanical stress through an effective mechanochemical transduction. Robust double-network hydrogels provided with a sustained monomer supply undergo self-growth, and the materials are substantially strengthened under repetitive loading through a structural destruction-reconst...

FDA panel votes in support of Impulse Dynamic ’ s cardiac contractility modulation pulse generator
The FDA’s Circulatory Systems Device Panel this week voted in favor of Impulse Dynamics’s Optimizer Smart implantable pulse generator, supporting the company’s premarket approval application seeking clearance for use in patients suffering from heart failure, according to a Healio report. The Optimizer impulse generator is designed to remodel the myocardium to increase the heart’s efficiency using what the company calls the cardiac contractility modulation – non-excitatory electrical pulses delivered to the heart muscle. The system has had CE Mark approval in the European Union for the device since 2002. The FDA�...

Getting Rid of Cellulite Is Tough. But Here ’s What Works Best
It was of course the French—the keenest observers and arbiters of aesthetics—who first studied, named and attempted to develop treatments for cellulite. The term “cellulite” initially appeared in a French medical dictionary back in the 1870s, and the condition was described as an inflammation of cellular tissue. Fast forward 150 years, and dermatologists today know better—though they still don’t know everything. For example, they know that cellulite is not a sign of inflammation or any other type of medical concern. It’s a completely harmless and purely cosmetic condition that affe...

UCLA-led study reveals the mechanism that helps malaria parasites take over human red blood cells
Researchers from UCLA and Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the previously unknown mechanism of how proteins from  Plasmodium parasites — which cause malaria — are exported into human red blood cells, a process that is vital for parasites to survive in humans. The finding could pave the way for new treatments for malaria.In the study, published today in Nature, researchers reveal the atomic structure of the Plasmodium translocon of exported proteins, or PTEX, the protein complex that transports these malaria proteins into the red blood cell. The research also provides the first direct evidence of the...
