Regenerative medicine is a burgeoning healthcare field that is revolutionizing how we treat injuries and diseases. Rather than relying on drugs and surgery, regenerative therapies harness the body’s innate ability to heal and repair itself, opening up a world of possibilities for managing chronic pain and degenerative conditions.

‘What else is cooking in #IBD?’ - very interesting poster session this afternoon, with data about imaging, PROs, perianal disease, surgery and natural evolution. UEG - United European Gastroenterology. Join us at Poster stage 1 at 13.00h! #UEGweek

#Endotoxemia is frequent in critically ill patients, including patients undergoing cardiac surgery [1], or patients who are being resuscitated after cardiac arrest [2]. One of the reasons why, is that ischemia-reperfusion can cause endotoxin to leak from the gut into the bloodstream [3]. Endotoxin can lead to direct or indirect organ damage, including biological and functional damage on cardiomyocytes [4] and in the worst cases lead to unresponsive endotoxic shock causing death. Polymyxin B HemoAdsorption (PMX-HA, medical device Toraymyxin®) is the most potent endotoxin neutralizer, combining the unique properties of Polymyxin B with HemoAdsorption. Our partner #EUROSETS is present at the #EUROELSO Annual Meeting which takes place in Krakow on 24-27 April.                                                     Discover PMX-HA at EUROELSO – We will wait for you at the #EUROSETS booth! #Endotoxemia #Endotoxicshock #PolymyxinBHemoAdsorption #EUROELSO 1.

Dr. Anthony Atala, an American bioengineer, urologist, and pediatric surgeon of Lebanese descent is known as the creator of 3D #bioprinters. He and his team were the first to transplant a “lab-printed” bladder into a patient. His current research focuses on tissue engineering and printable organs with the goal of someday being able to “print” human tissues on-demand. #ArabAmericanHistoryMonth https://lnkd.in/gaRsnG8C https://lnkd.in/guYyCZaf

Case Report: Computed Fluid Dynamics Analysis for SVC-to-RPA Anastomosis With Antegrade Pulmonary Flow We would like to introduce a case report by Dr. Sumitomo and colleagues at Keio University. A 1-year-old boy was diagnosed with ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, hypoplastic tricuspid valve, and a small right ventricle with 50% of normal size. He underwent surgery including superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery anastomosis, closure of ventricular and atrial septal defects, and pulmonary artery banding. Analysis using computational fluid dynamics revealed that the remaining right pulmonary artery stenosis resulted in reduced blood flow, leading to decreased shear stress and energy loss in the superior vena cava. https://lnkd.in/gHU9XJ5G #CFD #CHD #Pulmonary #Septal #WSS #Flowrate #Stagnation #EnergyLoss

🌟 **Pioneering the Future of Medicine** 🌟 Over the years, the field of biologic procedures has made incredible strides, helping to enhance the biology of the surgeries we perform. While I always exhaust every non-operative method first, some conditions ultimately require surgery. Yesterday, I performed a revision rotator cuff repair on a challenging, chronically torn, retracted rotator cuff, which are the stabilizing tendons around the shoulder. Not only did I repair it, but I also used a biologic patch, which acts like “topsoil”. In addition, we often use bone marrow cells, which function like “grass seed”, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) as a natural “fertilizer”, and laser therapy, akin to “sunlight”. (I love analogies!😀) When I first started performing arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs 26 years ago, I was the first in my community, and it was considered “not standard care”, I was told “you should not be doing arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs“, and it wasn’t even covered by most insurances. Fast forward 26 years, and now arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs are the standard of care. My hope for the future is that biologic procedures like BMAC and PRP, and many more to come, will follow the same path. There will always be naysayers, but there will also always be new wave pioneers, on the cutting edge of that wave, pushing the boundaries of what we know and advancing medicine to the next frontier. As a big Star Trek fan, I dream of a day when we have something like a Tricorder to diagnose and treat without any surgery or invasiveness. (Incidentally, I do think something like that is possible and will occur eventually) Here’s to the future! 🌟 Here’s to the future of medicine! 🌟 #BiologicRevolution #FutureOfMedicine #ArthroscopicSurgery #RotatorCuffRepair #BMAC #PRP #InnovationInMedicine #StarTrekFan #MedicalPioneer #HealingWithoutLimits #RegenerativeMedicine #TopsoilGrassSeedAndSunlight
