In 1972, the Office of Technology Assessment was set up to give the United States Congress information that would enable decision-making about technology that reflected a wide range of concerns, adopted a long-term horizon and had a sound factual basis. Nor was Australia immune from these ideas. In the late 1970s there was a Committee of Inquiry into Technological Change in Australia, known as the Myers Committee. It was tasked with a mission to examine, report and make recommendations on the process of technological change in Australia, in particular around issues such the possibility that some technologies might lead to massive unemployment. One result of this committee was the establishment of the Technological Change Committee of the Australian Science and Technology Council, with a mission to review on a continuing basis the processes and trends in technological change in Australia and elsewhere; and to evaluate and report on the direct and indirect effects of technological change at the ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 45 states and the District of Columbia have reported mumps cases in nearly 3,000 people. In 2015 and 2016 these outbreaks have been primarily associated with college settings. Mumps can spread even in highly vaccinated populations. Why does this occur? A number of factors contribute to the spread of mumps, but vaccine effectiveness is of primary importance. CDC recommends TWO doses of the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella with an average effectiveness of 88%. Comparatively, one dose is only 78% effective. In addition, behaviors such as kissing, sharing utensils, lipstick or cigarettes can also spread this very contagious virus. What can you do to prevent the spread of mumps? Review your vaccination status with your doctor to ensure you have received two doses of the vaccine. Limit activity that would spread the virus. If you believe you have symptoms of the mumps, see your doctor who will likely order ...

misc{a02b3ab2-d283-4cf8-bd7a-fa57550f4ee4, abstract = {This study deals with the diffusion of a new medical technology - vaccination against smallpox - in nineteenth-century Scania in Sweden. Using an aggregated sample of parishes as well as a micro-level dataset for four parishes, we investigate the socioeconomic as well as the geographical patterns of diffusion of vaccination in the province. We also relate the adoption of vaccination across geographical areas, as well as across social groups, to the availability of information, ability to acquire and process this information, and to levels of social capital and trust in society. Our results point to the conclusion that while vaccination spread very quickly geographically after its introduction, there were considerable differences between social groups. The better situated, betted educated, landholding peasants were more ready to adopt the new technology of smallpox vaccination. This had little to do with better access to economic resources as ...

From the article:. Any decision the Supreme Court makes on patent eligibility should be made with an understanding of how its decisions have impacted actual patent applications on new medical technologies, particularly in the emerging field of personalized medicine.. Looks like at least one of the authors is fully bloated on the k00l-aid.. The term personalized medicine is simply a buzzword used by industry to move product and attract those oh-so-important investors who are prone to d ump their golden eggs into the hottest trend du jour.. Not only scientists and doctors but their patients have been practicing personalized medicine for literally thousands of years. Its just another term for use information about a person when considering what kind of medicine and how much medicine to administer. Theres nothing emerging about that.. But we all know that when those super shiny comp00ters get into the game, everybody in the patent system has to pretend they were born yesterday. Because … ...

G:…If you accelerate certain things but arent careful about whether you want to make those innovations available to everyone, then youre intensifying the cost in such a way that youll overwhelm all the resources.. RS: Like million-dollar chemotherapy treatments.. G: Yeah, or organ transplants for people in their seventies from new artificial organs being grown. There is a lot of medical technology for which, unless you can make judgments about who should buy it, you will have to invade other government functions to find the money. Joint replacement is another example. There are four or five of these innovations down the pipe that are huge, huge things.. RS: Yeah, but when people start talking about these issues, we start hearing loaded phrases like death panels and suggestions that government bureaucrats are going to decide when its time to pull the plug on Grandma. G: The idea that there arent trade-offs is an outrageous thing. Most countries know that there are trade-offs, but here, ...

Prabhjot tells me that early in the development of digital micro-printing, he showed the technology to Tom Batzinger, one of the ultrasound experts and technology evangelists at Global Research. Tom immediately recognized its potential as a novel method for making ultrasound transducers. Pretty soon, word got around about digital micro-printings potential application in making ultrasound transducers, prompting my own interest.. During our annual technology expo, called Techfest, I stopped by a digital micro printing demo that Prabhjot was hosting. Almost as soon as we started talking, we realized that additive manufacturing using digital micro-printing offered a single platform to perform almost all of the manufacturing steps needed to build transducers: Piezoelectrics, matching layers, and the adhesive joints between them. Moreover, over the years ultrasound researchers have proposed many novel transducer designs that have been between hard and impossible to realize because the manufacturing ...

Worrell has partnered with Kuwait based Gulf Medical Technologies to design and develop a new and innovative technology that automates the intra-operative cleaning process of laparoscopic cameras.

Hence, the design of public policies that affect market incentives-such as the patent system and regulations such as those of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-can have important effects on the rate and direction of medical innovation. The goal of this project is to investigate whether our current system of patent and FDA policies fails to provide incentives for the development of some scientifically feasible medical technologies that would generate health benefits to patients. Our focus is the so-called new uses distortion, which may arise in cases where an offpatent drug has a new use discovered, such as the discovery that an off-patent diabetes drug may be an effective cancer treatment. There are few incentives for private research investments into such new uses of old drugs, and public research subsidies are not explicitly designed to encourage research into such new uses. We will develop a conceptual framework for policy analysis (Aim 1) and will develop newly-constructed data ...
