The medical community is constantly trying to raise the bar on patient care. Hospitals, clinics, and private practices are open to the ever growing digital age and what technology has to offer patients. New developments result in more effective procedures, better medicine, and better care than have ever been experienced before. The overwhelming task ahead in the battle against some of the most deadly diseases, medical physicians around the world team with scientists and developers in bring medicine out of the 1900s and into the 21st century.
Cancer has always been an uphill battle for sufferers of the disease and doctors struggling to treat them. The effectiveness in treatment against cancer has improved so much in even the last 20 years because of an increased awareness of the seriousness of the disease inspiring people to seek preventative treatment. People have realized that if cancer occurs often in a family line, then family members should make an effort to have frequent check-ups. Patients that are treated early on in the stages of cancer have a quicker battle to fight. Inspiring figures in sports, such as Lance Armstrong, prove that there is never a wasted effort in the fight against disease. Magic Johnson was diagnosed with HIV aids in the 1980s and, like Lance Armstrong, chose not to bow out early. For the past 25 years he has oxygenated his blood daily. Amongst a long list of other procedures, experimental and non-experimental alike, he has recently been tested HIV negative. Stories like these push scientists even more to keep on searching for cures and developing more effective therapies and procedures.
A team studying stem cells recently started developing stem cells harvested from the guts of pigs. Turning these stem cells into a powder like substance, the material has been found to do the impossible: regrow completely severed limbs. One man upon losing his finger in an accident was asked to participate in the study. Upon using the powder for only 3 weeks, the finger grew back completely new and healthy. It is advancement like this that excites and motivates us to not settle for loss.
Companies are also taking the procedures and devices used in the medical community and are attempting to improve them through more advanced technology. For example, the Oximeter, a handheld device, can be used to measure the rate of blood flow and the blood oxygen saturation. New devices like the Oximeter help doctors do their job even better.
