Instead of sitting in a tattoo chair for hours enduring painful punctures, imagine getting tattooed by a skin patch containing microscopic needles. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed low-cost, painless, and bloodless tattoos that can be self-administered and have many applications, from medical alerts to tracking neutered animals to cosmetics. “We’ve miniaturized the needle so that it’s ...

A latest study has shown that not only adults but children who suffered from Covid-19 are prone to risk of cognitive deficit, insomnia, ischaemic stroke, nerve or psychotic disorders and epilepsy or seizures  months later. The post-Covid risk trajectories differed in children compared with adults, said the team of researchers at the University of Oxford.  Published in The Lancet Psychiatry ...

Researchers have identified a unique way to detect epileptic brain tissue that causes seizures. The chemical biomarker can be detected noninvasively using a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy to help doctors to precisely identify small regions of abnormal brain tissue in early-stage epilepsy patients. This can help in surgery of epileptic brain regions for therapeutic removal without the need for ...
