Austrian Christian Kandlbauer, the first European to use a mind-controlled prosthetic arm
Ottobock Healthcare does it again! They have restored the entire right arm function of a 19 year old Haiti earthquake survivorw with a mind-controlled prosthetic.
As a follow-up from our popular past article about Christian Kandlbauer, a 21-year-old Austrian man who lost both his arms by getting electrocuted. He dedicatied four years of his life to Otto Bock Healthcare as a test subject and surgeons finally conducted the surgery to connect Christian’s natural chest nerves into their prosthetic arm prototype so that his neurological impulses can control the prosthetic device. We now introduce you to Christella Monteau, who was buried under Haiti’s earthquake debris for 17 hours and had to witness her younger sister’s death before finally being rescued. As a result of her being crushed under rubble, her right arm had to be amputated above the elbow.

A group of researchers in biomedical science jobs have demonstrated that the production of prostate specific antigen (PSA) could be connected to tumour growth.
In what the Duke University Medical Center research team claims to be the first discovery of its kind, scientists found that the antibody can move outside of cancerous cells and forms a complex capable of binding to a specific receptor.
This process can stimulate cancer cell growth, with scientists confident that the findings strengthen the argument for measuring PSA as a “marker of tumour progression”.

Researchers say a PET imaging agent is able to detect a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, in a new study hailed as a “landmark” in the fight against the debilitating disease.
In the study, the amount of beta-amyloid deposits in the brains of the living on a PET scan matched up with what was discovered later during an autopsy.
“It’s a landmark paper, because it’s the first time that, apart from presentations of these data at meetings, …a tracer like that has been validated systematically against neuropathology,” Dr. Karl Herholz, a neurologist with the University of Manchester and president of SNM’s Brain Imaging Council, told DOTmed News. “It’s not a big surprise it’s that good, but it’s certainly important to document that.”

The microchip, which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, is able to measure internal temperature within the body and communicate that temperature wirelessly to an external reader. The Company plans to integrate the temperature-sensing microchip with its Wireless Body™ platform.
