Being a burn victim is definitely no fun at all, as it is an excruciatingly painful position to be in, not to mention if the case is a serious one, said patient would also be at risk from potential infections which could prove to be lethal. After all, our skin is the first line of defense against the many bacteria that hang around unseen to the naked eye, ready to pounce onto any open sore or wound, and serious burn victims generally have no skin to speak about, hence resulting in a severely weakened immune system. Modern medicine has yet to figure out a method to spot pathogens that incubate within the wound, but this does not mean other measures cannot be taken.
In fact, researchers over at the University of Bath in the UK have managed to embed a fluorescent dye into special nanoparticles that were ultimately developed to break open whenever it encounters toxic bacteria in the vicinity. When said dye was used in a wound dressing, it will become apparent whenever nasty bacteria are around, which shows how there is unwanted activity within the healing tissue, allowing medical personnel to take the relevant measures in double quick time.

Getting a robot to perform surgery on you might sound like a good idea, especially when you have the kind of medical technology at your disposal, such as the one seen in the movie Prometheus. Well, that works only when everything in said robot works well, coupled with fantastic artificial intelligence to assess the medical situation and perform all of the right moves. Robotic arms lack the nerves that might happen to some surgeons, but there is a risk of it breaking down halfway.
So, they say that there is an app for everything, and I would think that such a description is getting more and more apt each day, as new apps as well as accessories are released. Case in point, this unique medical implant, touted to be the smallest in the world by scientists over at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, where it measures a mere 14mm and is said to be able to keep track of your blood’s quality including proteins, glucose levels, lactate and ATP, whether you are full on exercising all your glutes, or being at rest peacefully.
The common perception, or misconception, of video games is that it leads to violence. There are many different points one could make for either side of the fence, but that is a debate for another time. In the meantime, a new study has shown the by playing action-packed video games, it can actually help dyslexic children learn how to read. Dyslexia has been referred to as a disorder of the brain and there is no fixed method to help “cure” it. One of the trademarks of dyslexia is attentional dysfunction which is referred to by researchers. Basically what means is that dyslexics will find it hard to focus their attention and pick out important information.
