The amusing medical news!

Well, thses days I have heared an interesting news:the scientists have made a special matter that can make bloodstream be healed itself.It sounds like science fiction,but it's true. A scent named Dr. Richard Stack,a retired cardiologist at Duke University and founder of SyneCor,a medical-devices think tank. He has researched this kind of product since 2006.This thing is very simple:using bioabsorbable plastic to make a scent to open an artery.Now,it may let the cardiovascular be be cured easily.The challenge now is to get the absorption time right:If the scent dissolves too quickly,the artery may not remain open long enough and the patient would then be at risk for a heart attack.But if it goes too slowly,then there's less adventage over a traditional stent.But the scientist thinks"If you hold the vessel [with the stent] and enable it to grow as it recives signals from the body,then we can reestablish the healing curve and get rid of the problems that we see with metallic scents,"he explains."That's the really big promise of the technology."
