Carestream will demonstrate its CARESTREAM OnSight 3D Extremity System (see video link) that uses cone beam CT (CBCT) technology to capture high-quality, low-dose 3D extremity exams at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) annual meeting that begins May 30. This conference is one of the largest sports medicine and exercise science conferences in the world.

A review, recently published in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry, showcased the benefits of virtual reality (VR) treatments for patients with phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and other mental health conditions. 

WALTHAM, MA, May 4, 2017 – A multi-center post-hoc analysis presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 26th Annual Scientific & Clinical Congress by Drs. Jagdeesh Ullal and Joseph Aloi demonstrates that Glytec’s eGlycemic Management System® (eGMS®) enables hospitals to achieve the basal bolus standard of care for subcutaneous insulin therapy with extraordinary efficiency and superior patient outcomes. The new research study, entitled ‘AUTO Study, AUtomatic Titration tO Target: Subcutaneous Basal Bolus Insulin Management Using eGMS in the Non-ICU Setting,’ observed a 19% reduction in average daily blood glucose between admission and discharge -- with 0.00% severe hypoglycemia <40 mg/dL -- while achieving the prescribed target blood glucose of 140-180 mg/dL at all mealtime and bedtime intervals.

Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center have attempted to eliminate insulin shots for those with type 2 diabetes, focusing on working with mice.

Prescriptions and recommending lifestyle changes aren&rsquo;t the most effective ways to treat patients with high blood pressure. One San Antonio clinic has found greater success with a team-based strategy.

The future is bright for visually impaired patients thanks to an Oxford student who has been the first to use synthetic tissue to develop an artificial retina grown in a laboratory. Published in Scientific Reports, the findings show progress in bionic implants to mimic human tissues to treat degenerative eye conditions.

Predicting the onset of a heart attack or seizure before the patient becomes incapacitated could provide time to contact help. Developed by Spry Health, the Loop wearable could be something of a crystal ball in predicting such events.

Searching symptoms online could impact how much patients trust professional diagnoses. A study, set to be presented at the 2017 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting in San Francisco, analyzes how patients receiving health information online can lead to more skepticism when it comes to a physician&#39;s diagnosis.&nbsp;
