OT: A medical “bullet” for the brain.

[The Spin Meister]

A company has devised a way to treat tumors or cysts deep inside the brain that are inoperable. It’s a tiny bullet shaped thing that can be slowly moved through the brain by magnetic impulses to deliver meds or pierce a cyst so that it drains. About to start human trials.

California start-up sends tiny robots on voyage into brains

Sending miniature robots deep inside the human skull to treat brain disorders has long been the stuff of science fiction—but it could soon become reality, according to a California start-up.

They tried it on Biden already. Let's just say that it was "not successful".

wrong board. BTW, maybe we should just have a meme option to flag political posts.

Judging by how the threads have gone recently it pretty much is the right board at this point. I mean even Spin's signature is politically divisive - not saying he needs to change it - just using it as an example of how no one really cares anymore.

A woman dancing doing a spin move is politically divisive? How so?

It’s pretty clear she is spinning to the right.

@The Spin Meister Are you spinning to the right?

Not sure if serious but looks like ya can’t see signatures on mobile like ya can on a real computer.

“Conservatives see Orwell’s 1984 as a warning about an authoritarian government while progressives see it has an instructional manual to perpetual power.”

The picture is actually called the avatar. And the pic I used is not a woman but a man called a whirling dervish......A Muslim tradition in Turkey that is sorta a way of meditation. These guys can spin for hours and not stop or get dizzy. True spin meisters

As for the signature at the bottom.......I used to have a famous quote ....of questionable provenience....of Thomas Jefferson about the Tree of Liberty requiring the blood of patriots from time to time.....but the powers that be of the previous regime deemed it inappropriate and banned it. But there was another regular poster that had a signature that directly attacked Trump and was never challenged about it so I posted the lines I currently use. Came up with it myself and thought so brilliant I had to share it.😉

I know the device tech and it has real promise beyond just being incredibly cool. Looked at mfg some of the drug based components. Platforms like this that can be applicable to other therapy areas or indications are important tools.
Good catch.
The recent invention of the nail polish that can indicate the presence of roofies, etc…also cool.
There’s a startup raising capital on a possibly new validated diagnostic for prostate cancer that does not use PSA.

Ground breakers.

Yes. We should beg Tom M to come back so only twitter-approved politics can be discussed. The good old days...Am I right, or am I right?

Wha? Where did I say or imply that? What I said was that no one gives a shit about keeping politics off this board anymore in response to Obli telling someone to take the politics elsewhere. Never said I was for or against it - just that that’s the current state of the board. Ya’ll need to chill.

Glioblastomas often hit teens and people in their twenties. They are often inoperable and even the ones that are removed usually come back. The prognosis for glios is really bad so hope this is a major leap forward.
