Read MoreUnderstanding Minimally Invasive Surgery & the Technologies Enabling It
Technological advancements have greatly transformed medicine & the healthcare industry by bridging the gap between ideation of innovative techniques and its eventual, physical execution. One such niche which has benefited & developed parallelly is known as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Procedures such as Arthroscopy, Endoscopy, Laparoscopy & robotic surgeries are the most common forms of this technique which is defined by ‘a reduced number of incisions, lacerations or external entry of foreign objects to perform a certain surgical operation.’ As evident by its name, MIS procedures allow doctors & surgeons…
Read MoreProbiotics & Their Effects on the Human Microbiome
Over the past 2 decades, immense research and development occurred surrounding the Human Microbiome Project to gain deeper insights on the microorganisms that reside within the human body, especially our gut. Often referred to as a ‘supporting organ’, the collection of bacteria, fungi & viruses to whom we play host, is more commonly known as the Microbiome. Harvard Med School estimates that trillions of microscopic visitors have found a home within our bodies & a large portion of them play vital functions such as stimulation of the immune system, breaking…

Read MoreCompanion Diagnostics & Biomarkers – Paving the way for Personalized Medicine
Prior to and only enhanced by the pandemic, in vitro analysis of biological specimens like tissue samples or blood amongst others plays a huge role in guiding accurate diagnosis & subsequent therapy. When used in tandem with a specific therapeutic drug or medicine and relying on the presence or absence of a predictive biomarker, such IVD are known as Companion Diagnostics (CDx). A companion diagnostic is essentially a medical device while helps differentiate patients between responders & non responders with reference to a certain drug or therapy. For example, a…
