Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or the noncancerous enlargement
of the prostate gland, is a common condition associated with aging. While
the prostate grows throughout a mans lifetime, bothersome growth typically
begins at age 40, and by approximately age 60 more than half of men will
have experienced at least some symptoms of BPH; by age 80, up to 80% to 90%
of men become symptomatic. It is estimated that nearly 15 million men in
the United States and 30 million men worldwide experience symptoms of BPH;
of this number, an estimated 25% require pharmaceutical or surgical
treatment. Due to the aging of the population, the number of men with the
condition is expected to follow an upward trend. This presents a
significant unmet need for minimally invasive or less invasive BPH therapy
as a less costly, more tolerable, and comparatively safe and effective
alternative to drugs and invasive surgery, which carry greater risk of
undesirable or significant side effects and complications, including death.
While current economic conditions continue to restrain market growth, the
U.S. market for minimally invasive bariatric surgical devices is expected
to exhibit relatively good growth over the next 5 years. Valued at an
estimated $147.5 million in 2010, the U.S. minimally invasive benign
prostatic hyperplasia therapy systems market is expected to increase at a
compound annual rate of 2.4%, with sales reaching more than $166 million in
2015. The largest segment, laser BPH therapy, is expected to drive market
growth over the forecast periodexpanding at a comparatively higher rate of
4.6%at the expense of minimally invasive office-based therapies.
This dynamic market report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of

Vibration may help heal chronic wounds Posted: 01 Apr 2014 at The Watchers.
Our prostatherm has vibration as one of the energies included.
Wounds may heal more quickly if exposed to low-intensity vibration, report researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The finding, in mice, may hold promise for the 18 million Americans who have type 2 diabetes, and especially the quarter of them who will eventually suffer from foot ulcers. Their wounds tend to heal slowly and can become chronic or worsen rapidly. Timothy Koh, UIC professor of kinesiology and nutrition in the UIC College of Applied Health Sciences, was intrigued by studies at Stony Brook University in New York that used very low-intensity signals to accelerate bone regeneration. "This technique is already in clinical trials to see if vibration can improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis," Koh said. Koh and his coworkers at UIC... Read more »

Abstract: In tumor radiobiology, the hypoxic cell has become
especially important because of recent evidence of acute hypoxic
regions within experimental tumors. The impact of hyperthermia on the
development of acute hypoxia is discussed. Two experiments for
studying hyperthermia and hypoxia in tumors are presented. Knowledge
of the microenvironment of tumor cells will be necessary to understand
and improve tumor control.

called Tumour Treating Fields: Tests with 20 different tumour cell types
indicate that the devices can slow and reverse tumor growth by inhibiting
mitosis, the process by which cancerous cells divide and replicate. The
Novocure treatment involves placing pads onto the patient's skin that
creates a low intensity, alternating electric field within the tumor. The
electric field prevents the normal mitotic process, rapid division of
cancer cells and causes cancer cell death (apoptosis) prior to division
without harming healthy cells. The results from a 237-patient trial
indicated that Novocure treated patients achieved comparable median overall
survival times to patients treated with chemotherapy but had fewer side
effects, and reported an improved quality of life. Therapy is
administered continuously over many hours per day. Link to www.gizmag.com/treatment-of-brain-tumors-with-electrical-fields/21433/?utm_source=Gizmag+Subscribers&utm_campaign=8905741cfd-UA-2235360-4&utm_medium=email
