An instrument used to expand the sinus openings of a patient's nose is a sinus dilation device


 

   The sinuses are the hollow sacks in the head that secrete mucus and provide resonance to the voice. The mucus secreted by the sinuses keeps the nasal cavity from drying out and works by trapping foreign particles that enter the nasal passage and make their way to the lungs. The sinuses have an opening that allows mucus to drain from and flow into the nasal passage; however, in some cases, the sinus opening becomes blocked, and mucus remains logged into the sinus, causing headache, congestion, and inflammation; it also increases the risk of infection; this condition is known as sinusitis.

  During sinus surgery, sinus dilation devices expand the sinus opening of the nose, thereby treating the drainage problem associated with nasal sinuses Sinus dilation devices also include endoscopes and handheld devices used for visualization and support during sinus dilation procedures.

  Balloon Sinus Dilation is a safe and effective treatment for persons with symptomatic sinusitis who are not trying to respond well to prescription drugs and are seeking relief from unpleasant and painful sinusitis symptoms. It is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery and effective at treating chronic sinusitis symptoms. In addition, unlike traditional sinus surgery, balloon sinus dilation devices allow patients to resume normal activities quickly. The removal of bones or tissue from the nose is not part of the balloon sinus dilation devices procedure.

  Sinusitis is classified into three types based on the duration of the symptoms: acute, sub-acute, and chronic. The treatment of sinusitis is determined by the duration of the infection. Treatment options such as drugs, surgery, and physical therapy are available to relieve the patient's symptoms. In chronic cases where the sinuses remain blocked for an extended period of time, doctors may recommend surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery is a procedure in which surgeons dilate the sinuses to relieve mucus and reduce sinus pressure.

  Balloon sinuplasty is a novel in-office procedure in which your Houston ENT doctor inserts a small catheter into your sinuses and inflates it. This catheter gently nudges your sinuses, opening them up and providing long-lasting relief.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and an artificial

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

Image
    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are available, includ

Non-Contact Torque Sensors Increase Fuel Economy, Improve Ride Comfort and Safety

Torque Sensors     In order to determine the most suitable torque sensor, it is necessary to understand the application and environment. Some applications may require underwater sensors, while others may only need a torque sensor. The type of mounting and assembly is also important. Some are mounted flange-to-flange, while others are mounted shaft-to-shaft. The torque sensors must be able to detect the rotational force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.   The most common design for a torque sensor uses bonded strain gauge technology. The strain gauges are bonded to a shaft with a 45-degree inclination. The application will determine the type of cross-section and materials used for the shaft. Depending on the application, a cruciform, square, or a circular cross-section is appropriate. Some torque sensors are made from a combination of these materials.   When selecting a torque sensor, make sure to consider its physical and environmental requirements. The temperature, hu
