which can be used to screen for diabetes in resource-poor settings has been developed by researchers and tested in diabetic patients,
A low-cost, reusable sensor which uses nanotechnology to screen for and monitor diabetes and other conditions, has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, for use both in clinics and home settings.
The sensors use nanotechnology to monitor levels of glucose, lactate and fructose in individuals with diabetes or urinary tract infections
Earlier this year, clinical trials of the sensors were carried out at Addenbrooke's Hospital to monitor glucose levels in 33 diabetic patients.
"These sensors can be used to screen for diabetes in resource-poor countries, where disposable test strips and other equipment are simply not affordable,

A 3-D Printer Made From E waste#The circle of electronic life: useless printer scraps become a way to print scraps of other things!
Resourceful 33-year-old inventor Kodjo Afate Gnikou of the West african country Togo has created a cheap DIY 3-D printer out of electronic waste scavenged from junk yards.
Gnikou is part of Woelab a hackerspace in the city of Lomã as well as a geographer and an occasional maintenance technician according to a crowd funding page for his project.

Instead of making a classic slice they're showing off the proper levels of pizza viscosity with similar ingredients:
the printer lays down a layer of dough from a stock of simple non-perishable ingredients then layers the sauce (ketchup) and cheese (cream cheese) on top.

This Zero-G 3d printer is the first machine to operate in zero gravity, and was launched into orbit on September 21, 2014.
It served as a test bed for understanding the long-term effects of microgravity on 3d printing and the parts as well crucial information for use in future space exploration.

Chinese doctors have been among the most prominent supporters of the technology as of late and have used it for a myriad of medical-related purposes.
Within the past few months alone, Chinese doctors have used 3d printing to aide in a highly-complex hip-replacement surgical procedure for a 42-year-old woman,
Thanks to the continued success of using 3d printing to aid in surgical procedures the country-along with 3d printing giant Materialise-proudly unveiled their first pediatric-specific 3d digital medical research facility in Shanghai at the Shanghai Children Medical center on Thursday, August 13th.
Among other projects, the new Pediatric 3d printing Unit at the hospital will focus on pediatric medical imaging, digital modelling, 3d fabrication,
and the researching new ways of using 3d printing in a number of clinical applications. According to Kim Francois, a spokeswoman from Materialise, the company will contribute with training for digital modeling and 3d printing procedures, clinical software development and technology support.
While 3d printing has proven to be effective in surgical procedures for patients of all ages it has been especially effective in cases for young children-especially newborns
-whose internal organs are both smaller and more sensitive than adult organs. By creating a 3d printed organ replica in advance of a potentially life-threatening surgery,
doctors can both practice their procedure with the replica as well as use it as a reference during the actual surgery. or example,
According to experts from Materialise, a majority of the 3d printing applications for the pediatric unit will focus on complex diseases including congenital heart disease, premature skull formations and congenital bronchial softening.
