#3d-printed model heart helps doctors save a little girl's life We've seen several accounts of 3d printing being used to save the lives of patients
After a few band-aid surgeries that proved to be temporary fixes doctors knew they needed to come up with a solution.
Using the 3d-printed model the doctors were able to plan a surgery that hadn't been performed before using parts from a donor heart
The story recalls a couple of other similar cases such as one at Morgan stanley Children's Hospital of New york-Presbyterian where last year doctors also practiced a complex heart surgery on a 3d model before operating on a baby
and infection Doctors have developed a brain pressure test using a special set of headphones that can detect life-threatening head injuries and infections.
This enables doctors to measure fluid pressure in the skull-known as intracranial pressure (ICP)- without the need for surgery or painful spinal procedures.
And doctors said they believe it could be used to distinguish between head injuries and post traumatic stress disorder in soldiers returning from combat zones.'

On this website, doctors can, together with the patient, easily calculate the odds of recurrence of the disease.
Since 2012 the oncological guidelines prescribe that doctors have to choose an individualized approach, where the risk of recurrence of the disease in a specific patient has to determine the follow-up course of action.

a so-called nomogram, that doctors can use together with patients to simply calculate the odds of recurrence of the disease themselves, on the basis of the age of the patient, the information on the original tumour and the treatment used.
doctors have a tool they can use to help determine the best way to set up the follow-up for individual patients.
The University of Twente will now get to work on providing doctors with concrete recommendations for planning subsequent check-ups.
