UT and PCV Group develop respirator hood for COVID-19 patientsOver the past few weeks, TechMed Centre researchers have joined forces with developers from the PCV Group in Enschede to rapidly develop a breathing support hood. “This minimally invasive ventilation technology (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP) offers an alternative for corona patients who are not sick enough for admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) but who are too ill to be treated in ordinary wards”, say Professor of Health Technology Implementation Ruud Verdaasdonk and lung physiologist Frans de Jongh.Read more
Decline in cancer diagnoses due to corona crisis of international interestCancer care has dramatically changed as a result of the measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic: many patients have not been going to their GPs, or putting it off, and have been referred to the hospital later. Consequently, a quarter fewer cases of cancer have been diagnosed for several weeks, as found by the Netherlands Cancer Registry based on initial diagnoses in the PALGA pathology database. Dr. Avinash Dinmohamed of the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL in Dutch) and prof. Sabine Siesling of IKNL and the University of Twente (TechMed Centrum) and colleagues report this decline in diagnoses in the highly regarded scientific journal Lancet Oncology.Read more
