Medtronic’s Synchromed II Approved to Pump Remodulin Into Veins to Treat Pulmonary Hypertension

-

The FDA has issued approval for the Implantable System for Remodulin, which is really the Synchromed II drug infusion system from  Medtronic , consisting of an implantable pump, controller, and catheter. The system is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension by delivering Remodulin (Treprostinil) into the vein at the superior caval-atrial junction. The pump is implanted under the skin of the abdomen and programmed to deliver the drug at a desired rate. The pump’s drug chamber can be refilled via an injection through the skin whenever the reservoir runs low. Medtronic has engineered the pump to achieve a high level of guaranteed performance by reducing how much the pump’s shaft wears out and preventing motor stalls. Prior to the current approval, the Synchromed II was cleared as an infusion system for Infumorph, a morphine-based solution for treating chronic intractable pain, and Prialt, a ziconotide solution for management of severe chronic pa...

Alcohol Makes Rats Turn To Cocaine The most common research involving alcohol typically concerns its effect on humans. One area of particular interest is its addictiveness and if alcohol will leave you more vulnerable to drug use. A study from 2017 supported this idea by showing that drunk rats like  cocaine . During the experiment, rats were given alcohol for ten days before being offered cocaine. Afterward, the animals proceeded to consume the drug despite being administered an electrical shock each time they did so. Overall, these rats attempted to “score” by pressing a lever an average of 58 times, while a control group which was given water only did it 18 times. This kind of compulsive behavior is found in about a quarter of human cocaine users. While it is common for these people’s cocaine addiction to be preceded by other  substance abuse , the biological mechanism which prompts certain drugs to act as “gateways” is still poorly understood. This study suggests ...

CONTACTS MEASURING GLUCOSE

Jin Shang, a professor of biochemical engineering at the University of Western Ontario, has invented a contact lens that changes color when sugar levels change in the blood. Those suffering from diabetes need to draw blood to check sugar levels. Nanoparticles implanted in contact lenses interact with glucose molecules in tears. This interaction changes the color of the lens to indicate varying sugar levels. This new medical invention could eliminate the need to draw blood to monitor glucose.
