"Currently, the usual procedure calls for the doctors to determine leg length with a tape measure,
With the patient in a prone position, the doctor affixes a small plastic box containing two LEDS to the patient's shin.
The doctor then takes hold of the patient's heel and lifts it upward. With that motion, the two lights trace an arc that is recorded by a camera positioned about 1. 5 meters to the side of the patient.
The doctor takes this measurement twice once right before the operation and once after the implant has been inserted temporarily.
If necessary, the doctor can make adjustments to the artificial hip. Initial testing of a measuring system prototype has met already with success at the Leipzig University hospital.
In this method, the doctor can select the right hip stem as well as the right neck for each patient.
The doctor now measures the leg length, and, if necessary, can easily separate the implant's various components to exchange them for better-fitting parts
Currently, the doctor connects the stem and the neck of the prefabricated artificial hip during the operation with a well-placed stroke of the hammer.

Lead researcher Stephen Kingsmore, a pediatrician and genomics expert at Children Mercy Hospital in Kansas city, explains that doctors typically run targeted genetic tests for specific diseases
In 13 cases, the doctors dramatically changed their treatment plans. For example, a baby with liver failure received the proper surgeries and pharmaceutical treatments based on the accurate diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder,
In other cases, the genome scan allowed doctors to rule out diseases, which Kingsmore says can be equally valuable. octor always worry:

Through a disease management and doctor communication platform, Microhealth is attempting to crowdsource the management of rare, chronic conditions, starting with hemophilia.
The updates are shared with the patient doctor who can use the data to regulate dosage

doctors can personalize treatment to match the metabolism and the daily activity of each patient.
Doctors can also request pictures and additional information from patients, who often live hundreds of miles from hemophilia treatment centers,
and doctors search through pharmaceutical research, sourced from eight NIH-and FDA-approved medical databases,

Doctors in the US already have access to a government-sponsored 3d printing repository, through which they can share designs to aid in medical treatment,
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,
doctors can both practice their procedure with the replica as well as use it as a reference during the actual surgery. or example,
In addition to helping support the doctors in advance of a surgery, the models can also be recycled and used as reference in medical classes, too.

Doctors send data to the manufacturing enterprise, where an engineer builds 3d models with it.
Professor Zhang Ke and doctor Cai Hong went to Sweden for an academic meeting and encountered a metal 3d printer.
doctors can get a firsthand view of the patient organs and assess the damage. While the procedure has been invaluable in diagnosing stomach, intestinal, esophagus and colon cancers
it requires a great deal of skill on behalf of the doctor, and can be uncomfortable, painful, and stressful for the patientot to mention prohibitively expensive.

Perhaps in the future it may be possible for doctors to apply flexible bandages to severely burnt skin to reprogram the cells to heal that injury with functional tissue instead of forming a scar.
doctors and researchers use stains or dyes that stick to the particular structure or molecule they are looking for.
Doctors also have to choose which things to test for, because it not always possible to obtain multiple samples for multiple stains from one biopsy.

while doctors seek the right chemicals to beat back a tumor. Now, two research teams say they have found ways to speed up the process by allowing doctors to try multiple treatments at once:
One is an implantable device, and the other is a special injection device. In Seattle, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research center and the company Presage Biosciences designed a device called CIVO that includes up to eight needles arranged in an array.
That analysis can tell doctors whether a certain drug or set of drugs will be more effective."
