Help for diabetic wounds with dissolveable micro-needles that clean and deliver drugs

Diabetic wounds often lead to severe complications that can result in amputations.
These chronic and non-healing wounds are marked by persistent inflammation, affecting more than six per cent of the global population.
But researchers have developed two micro-needle technologies that have shown efficacy in accelerating diabetic wound healing, removing undesirable inflammatory compounds.
And the micro-needles dissolve into the wound
Diabetic wounds don't heal because the critical proteins that aid recovery, known as growth factors, are broken down by enzymes called proteases.
The two novel innovations for treating this were developed by a team of scientists at then National University of Singapore.
They were led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

A new device for the blind helps them navigate the world —= by telling them what they are holding in their hand.
The wearable device, known as AiSee, was developed by a team of scientists at the National University of Singapore.
It consists of two bone conducting earphones fixed to a band that fits around the back of the wearer's head.
One of the earphones incorporates a 13-megapixel camera which takes in the user's field of view.
The other has a touchpad interface.
A microprocessor and a lithium battery are located in the back of the device, which is wirelessly connected to the internet.
When the user picks up an item, the wearer takes a photo with the built-in camera.
That image is processed in real time using cloud-based artificial intelligence algorithms.
These analyse the shape, size and colour of the item and any text printed on its labels.
If a match for a known object is found, the user is told what it is via a synthetic voice in the earphones.
OPS: The prototype AiSee.

Medical and nursing students could soon be learning to diagnose and treating acute gastro-intestinal diseases using mixed reality holographic patients.
The hyper realistic patients present robust clinical simulations of various conditions,
And they can be used in any physical learning environment, accessed anywhere in the world.
HoloScenarios: Gastrointestinal uses MR to simulate an entire patient journey.
This goes from taking basic medical history to performing invasive testing and emergency procedures.
A spokesperson for medical software education company GigXR said the module enabkes students learners to master vital medical decision-making and manual skills as they would see them in real-life clinical scenarios and patient care.
It was created in collaboration with renowned medical professionals from the National University of Singapore’s school of medicine.
The module is delivered by something called the Gig Immersive Learning Platform.

A magnetic gel has been developed which could save diabetics from nasty wounds and risk of amputation.
It could also help burns victims.
Diabetic patients, whose natural wound-healing capabilities are compromised, often develop chronic wounds that are slow to heal.
Such non-healing wounds could cause serious infections resulting in painful outcomes such as limb amputation.
Now a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore have engineered an innovative magnetic wound-healing gel.
It that promises to accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds, reduce the rates of recurrence, and in turn, lower the incidents of limb amputations.
Each treatment involves the application of a bandage pre-loaded with a hydrogel containing skin cells for healing and magnetic particles.
To maximise therapeutic results, a wireless external magnetic device is used to activate skin cells and accelerate the wound healing process.
OPS:The innovative magnetic hydrogel ,held by Asst Prof Tay, contains skin cells for healing and magnetic particles, takes a comprehensive ‘all-in-one’ approach to wound healing, accelerating the process on several fronts.

A vegetable seafood replacement 3D rated as a calamari ring, has been created by researchers.
They say more mock seafood options are needed because of unsustainable fishing which can deplete the supply and harm the environment.
The new veggie calamari is said to taste good while maintaining the healthful profile of real fish.
The team from the National University of Singapore used a 3D-printed an ink made from algae and mung beans.
The proof-of-concept calamari rings can even be air-fried for a quick, tasty snack.
One of the researchers, Poornima Vijayan, said: “I think it's imminent that the seafood supply could be very limited in the future.
“We need to be prepared from an alternative protein point of view, especially here in Singapore, where over 90% of the fish is imported.”
