Northwestern researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

米粒よりも小さな一時的ペースメーカーが、動物モデルや人間の心臓組織で効果的な心臓ペーシングを行うことができることを報告する論文が、Nature に掲載される。この小型のワイヤレス・デバイスは、最終的には分解・吸収されるため、患者に対して低 ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...

A research team from Northwestern University in the United States has reported that they have developed a tiny pacemaker that is just 1 mm thick and small enough to fit inside the tip of a syringe, ...

Roughly 1,000 NHS patients a week have a pacemaker implanted to steady their heart rate and protect them against potentially fatal abnormal rhythms. Since the first one was used in Sweden in 1958, the ...

Tiny device can be inserted with a syringe, then dissolves after it's no longer needed. (Nanowerk News) Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe — and be non-invasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

CHICAGO — A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

A new injectable, temporary pacemaker could help correct a heart arrhythmia in an emergency. This nanoparticle gel can regulate the heart’s electrical signals for up to five days before dissolving ...
