SCHILLER is proud to introduce a new and revolutionary medical
tool called AF Toolbox, which allows the early and fast detection of atrial
fibrillation
based on regular resting ECGs. It is the result of a joint development
project between EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology)
Lausanne
and SCHILLER medical technology engineers*.

Highly efficient and time-saving

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac
arrhythmia but in most patients it is difficult to
detect.
Thanks to this unique AF Toolbox (Atrial
Fibrillation
Toolbox), atrial fibrillations – which
are the most …

Pre-clinical research organisation Biomodels has announced that it has successfully collaborated with ActoGeniX, a development stage biopharmaceutical company, in obtaining FDA approval for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for AGO13, a novel therapeutic product for the treatment of oral mucositis in cancer patients.

The FDA approval permits ActoGenix to initiate a phase 1b clinical trial in six major oncology centres in the US. AGO13 could become the first approved therapy for oral mucositis in patients undergoing treatment of solid tumours or head/neck cancers, according to A…

Scientists at Biomodels have successfully developed the first model that accurately duplicates human cancer treatment-related fatigue (CTRF). The new model shows that, as in human cancer patients, fatigue is independent of anaemia or weight loss and persists long after cancer treatments end.

The new model and research findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics meeting in Boston.

Lingering fatigue is a debilitating problem in patients who have been treated for cancer and its etiology is poorly understood. Fat…

Medical researchers have reported findings demonstrating that injecting the protein lubricin into knee joints can dramatically reduce cartilage degeneration.

The discovery by scientists at Biomodels, a preclinical drug research organisation, and Lubris, a Massachusetts-based start-up company, could result in a new therapy for individuals at risk for osteoarthritis, researchers said.

The study, by Gregory D. Jay, MD, PhD, a professor of emergency medicine and biomedical engineering at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University, was presented at the American College of Rheumatology/Associa…

If you have been injured in a automobile accident, in your workplace, or in a commercial location and you believe that the actions or in actions of another person are to blame, you should consider consulting a personal injury attorney. While accidents by their very nature are often random occurrences for which no one is at fault, any injury that you or a family member have sustained as a result of the negligence or malice of others is cause for a personal injury claim.

Why Pursue Legal Action?

Accident claims and compensation claims after an accident can help cover any medical fees after the personal injury.

When you or a member of your family is injured, you will face unexpected expenses which, depending on the severity of your injuries, can become long-term drains on your finances. Medical bills are only a part of the expense associated with accidental injury. You will need time away from work, and in some cases, your injury might result in a permanent disability which prevents you from working at all. Even if your recovery is underway, unforeseen complications may develop in the future.

If you do not seek monetary compensation from the person or business at fault for your injuries, you are jeopardizing your family financial future. By consulting with a personal injury attorney to discuss your options, you can see to it that any current and future expenses resulting from your injuries will be covered.

How do I Know Who is…
