To manage the development and progression of glaucoma, researchers at Stanford University have developed a biocompatible suprachoroidal spacer implant.
Wound healing is a huge clinical problem. Problematic outcomes of skin wounds can range from under-healing (e.g., chronic/non-healing wounds) to over-healing (e.g., scarring).
Radiation therapy is a common option in diseases like breast cancer, but can also cause significant damage to the skin. Permanent scarring and fibrosis can result, with both aesthetic and functional consequences for cancer patients.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a new passive cavitation mapping algorithm based on sound localization of multiple scatters of cavitation. It shows improved resolution as compared to existing passive cavitation mapping algorithms based on a basic beamforming.
