🔎 #Ultrasound activates small cilia on the surfaces of urinary #stents and #catheters and thereby creates a streaming, that efficiently removes biofilm and encrustations from the surface.

Ultrasound and cilia to clean implanted stents and catheters

Researchers from the University of Bern, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, and ETH Zurich have developed an innovative technology which can clean implanted medical devices such as ureteral stents and catheters non-invasively, using ultrasound activation through the skin. This could significantly improve the quality of life of patients and at the same time reduce the financial burden on the healthcare system.

#Medizin, Dropse & ich

Irgendwann habe ich in meinem jugendlichen Leichtsinn laut getönt, wenn ich später so viele #Tabletten nehmen muss, dann gebe ich mir die Kugel.

Nun, heute denke ich darüber anders. Rechte Seite abends, linke Seite morgens. #Blutdruck x 2, #Statine für #Blutfettwerte, #ASS für die #Stents, und dann andere Leckereien, #Omega 3 auf dringende Empfehlung meines Schwiegersohns, #Amphetamine für den täglichen Schwung, watt mutt, datt mutt !!!

Heart Attack and Benefits of taking Vitamine K2-MK7 with oil!

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=z3njgh2nFRk I take them and from recent annual physical blood results, Calcium did go down as free in the blood! #vitamin, #vitami...

My #mom is going to #CathLab today around 11a. She had an episode last night after I saw her. She said it felt like a baby on her chest. They think she may have a possible #blockage so she doesn't know if this means more #stents.

My #mom is in the #hospital here in #Florida since Thursday. She had a series of #nonstemi #heartattacks at the end of last week. After doing some #tests and sending her into the #cathlab to check her #stents they found that her #veins are narrowing as she ages #restricting the #blood and #oxygen flow to her heart. Luckily this can be controlled by #medication and once they regulate her dosage she will be released hopefully Monday, Tuesday latest.

*Non stemi means not enough oxygen
