Penn-developed device personalizes care after stroke
When stroke patients are brought to a hospital, one of the critical aspects of their care is to make sure there is adequate blood flow to their brains. A standard of that care has to been to keep patients resting totally flat for at least 24 hours, rather than with their heads elevated.
Penn-designed gel soothes hearts after attack
Surviving a heart attack means coping with the damage it leaves behind. Even if blood flow to muscle tissue in the heart is promptly restored, the injury causes an inflammation response, and the accompanying enzymes can wreak havoc that can persist for months and even years.
New Penn-Designed Gel Allows for Targeted Therapy After Heart Attack
Combatting the tissue degrading enzymes that cause lasting damage following a heart attack is tricky. Each patient responds to a heart attack differently and damage can vary from one part of the heart muscle to another, but existing treatments can’t be fine-tuned to deal with this variation.
Penn scientists teach computer programs how to teach programming
While the computers of today dwarf their predecessors when it comes to power and speed, the programming process hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades. It’s still a tedious practice of specifying step-by-step instructions, with an equally large effort devoted to ensuring those instructions produce the desired results.
Penn research team models brain’s breakdown after injury
Even the mildest form of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), better known as a concussion, can cause permanent, irreparable damage.
Penn-designed Device Shows Promise for Individualized Care in Stroke Patients
Using a University of Pennsylvania-designed device to noninvasively and continuously monitor cerebral blood flow (CBF) in acute stroke patients, researchers from Penn Medicine and the Department of Physics & Astronomy in Penn Arts and Sciences are now learning how head o
