A new study has demonstrated that a tiny bundle of optical fibers can continuously, accurately, and simultaneously measure six biomarkers of brain health, helping to prevent serious complications that ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A new class of small, thin electronic sensors can monitor temperature and pressure within the skull - crucial health parameters after a brain injury or surgery - then melt away when ...

Dr. Marc Abreu s fascination with temperature arose during morning rounds in medical school, when he found many patients dead. Many succumbed during the night to bacterial infections accompanied by ...

DENVER, CO – Doctors have long sought a way to directly measure the brain's temperature without inserting a probe through the skull. Now researchers have developed a way to get the brain's precise ...

Evidence-based recommendations on therapeutic hypothermia with intracorporeal temperature monitoring for hypoxic perinatal brain injury. This involves cooling either the baby's head or whole body to ...

From pacemakers to insulin pumps, electronic implants are a powerful medical tool, but they present their own suite of risks -- scarring, rejection and sepsis among them. Now a team of researchers has ...

Wearable devices are often exposed to environmental variables that can significantly impact temperature readings. A smartwatch sits on the wrist, where ambient air temperature, sunlight, and even wind ...

Despite all the attention on technologies that reduce the hands-on role of humans at work—such as self-driving vehicles, robot workers, artificial intelligence and so on—researchers in the field of ...
