Le langage médical à la portée de tous
Le langage médical utilise deux types de termes : des mots techniques, dont la signification est très précise, et que les patients connaissent en général mal ou pas du tout (à chacun son métier) ; et des mots du langage courant, des mots de tous les jours, dont les médecins se servent dans un sens qui leur est propre.
Tout ceci fait que, lorsqu’un médecin donne des explications à ses patients, ceux-ci risquent de ne pas tout comprendre, ce qui est une source fréquente d’angoisse. C’est pour cette raison que ce site a été créé : il est conçu pour vous donner les clés nécessaires à la compréhension du langage des médecins, de leur vocabulaire, et de la façon dont ils s’en servent.

The need for heart transplants will always exceed the number of donor hearts available for transplant. Thanks to research just out from Massachusetts General Hospital, though, this may not continue to be a problem for much longer. Researchers there have just succeeded in growing fully contractile heart tissue by recellularizing a collagen scaffold, and they’re hoping to refine the method so that it can be used as a “functional myocardial patch” for cardiac injuries.

It sounds like something straight out of a comic book, but after losing his sternum and part of his rib cage to cancer, a 54-year-old Spanish man received the world’s first 3D-printed chest prosthetic made from lightweight, but incredibly strong, titanium.

Researchers added a dancing, waving gorilla to a standard CT scan of the lungs. Most radiologists totally missed it. Most radiologists, however, did not see him. When asked "Did you see a gorilla on the final trial?" 20 of the 24 radiologists tested said they did not. It wasn't for lack of looking.
As the researchers write, in a forthcoming paper in Psychological Science, "eye-tracking revealed that, of the 20 radiologists who did not report the gorilla, 12 looked directly at the gorilla’s location when it was visible."

A new study demonstrates what researchers consider conclusive evidence that the red wine compound resveratrol directly activates a protein that promotes health and longevity in animal models.
The researchers plan on continuing academic-industry collaborations with the goal of bringing to fruition drugs that treat diseases associated with aging.

Parkinson’s disease is an insidious disease: by the time it manifests as the typical motor dysfunctions such as tremors or muscle rigidity, portions of the brain have already been irreversibly destroyed. By this stage, the disease will have often begun already decades earlier.
In search of an early portent of the disease, researchers led by Prof. Paul Wilmes, head of the Eco-Systems Biology Group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg, may now have found one in the gut: they have shown that the bacterial community in the gut of Parkinson’s patients differs from that of healthy people even at a very early stage of the disease. The researchers present their results in the scientific journal “Movement Disorders”. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=University+Luxembourg

OrCam is based on artificial intelligence and special algorithms built into a tiny computer that clips onto your eyeglasses. Wearing an OrCam device clipped to her glasses, Negrin — who works for the company — can now do the smallest things that sighted people take for granted.
Just by pointing her finger at objects and listening to the device read the words and numbers, she can hand over money at the store without fear of being shortchanged. She can easily step on the right bus as it approaches her stop. And she can “read” the ingredients labels on products at the supermarket.
Costing about the same as a good hearing aid, the OrCam device is able to identify thousands of objects, including the faces of loved ones, dogs, buses, newspaper text and store signs, all with the point of the finger. Its voice system transmits the information to the wearer’s ear.

Scientists at University College London have successfully transplanted photoreceptor cells into blind eyes, thus maybe finding a method for curing blindness
Brain-penetrating nanoparticle attacks deadly tumors (Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new approach for treating a deadly brain cancer that strikes 15,000 in the United States annually and for which there is no effective long-term therapy. The researchers, from Yale and Johns Hopkins, have shown that the approach extends the lives of laboratory animals and are preparing to seek government approval for a human clinical trial. “We wanted to make a system that would penetrate into the brain and deliver drugs to a greater volume of tissue,” said Mark Saltzman, a biomedical engineer at Yale and principal investigator of the research. “Drugs have to get to tumor cells in order to work, and they have to be the right drugs.

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a new technique to see how different types of cells interact in a living mouse. The process uses light-emitting proteins that glow when two types of cells come close together. Using the technique, the team was able to pinpoint where in the body metastatic cancer cells ended up after they broke off from an initial tumor site, using readily available lab reagents. The team chose chemicals that are easily available in most life sciences laboratories because they wanted to develop a technique that could be widely used.
