The clamp is a quick and effective way to slow the bleeding of traumatic wounds in the field. The plastic clamp includes long curved needles along its 'jaws'. The curved needles allow the wound to be drawn up into the device, where it is held with an even pressure that allows the blood underneath to form a clot and slow bleeding until further medical help is available.

The bra is supposed to be an early warning system for breast cancer, able to detect emerging tumor long before the tumor becomes visible to a mammogram. The bra will feature technology that will enable the device to continuously measure the tiny variations in blood vessel growth in the breasts. Blood vessels feeding a cancerous tumor have a distinct heat signature, which will allow the growing tumor to be identified at a very early stage.

Remedy #1: Lemons If your acne scars dark, you can use lemon juice to lighten them. Cleanse your face with lemon juice. Dab one teaspoon of lemon juice into a cotton ball and smooth it over the acne marks. Leave for ten minutes, then rinse. Remedy #2: Soda Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water; gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds and then rinse it off. Remedy #3:...

Utilizing the body's own defense system may lead to less harmful ways of treating melanoma and other cancers. There is the study that involves a process known as adoptive t-cell therapy, in which immune cells are primed to seek out and kill cancer cells in the body. The results of the study are optimistic- out of nine patients, the cancer in four of them was rendered stable, and in one patient the disease disappeared, and has not returned even two years later. The method is...

Genetically engineered spider's silk may be the next step toward creating artificial skin for patients requiring skin grafts, such as burn victims. Spider dragline silk is incredibly strong, much stronger than the collagen conventionally used to create artificial skin. By weaving the silk fibers of golden orb web spiders onto a steel frame it is possible to create a mesh scaffold on which human skin cells can thrive.

The dentist office may have gotten less scary with the new plasma "brush", which can clean and prep cavities painlessly for filling. The brush will clean a cavity in under minute. The brush will use ions to kill bacteria and release the plaque from the tooth while also prepping the surface for treatment. The plasma-assisted filling may able be up to 60 percent stronger than conventional fillings.

The idea is to develop a wireless power transmission device that will be able to power implanted medical devices. The system will consist of a transmitter that will create a modulating magnetic field and a receiver with a metal band that will move with changes in the field. The movement will be translated into electricity able to power implants within range of the magnetic field, up to about 50 cm. The magnetic field will pose no threats to humans, and the power will be sent...

A new cardiac monitor will send wireless data from the implant to physicians to help them track the condition of their patient's heart. The device will consist of a three-channel ECG system and home monitoring technology, which will allow the implant to continuously monitor the health of the heart and transmit the information to the cardiologist. Because the batteries have a lifespan of over 6 years, even with continuous use, the implant can be used over a long period of time,...

My idea is to create a device similar to an ordinary hairdryer which will help to get rid of pediculosis. This device will blow louses and kill all nits. In that way one can cope with pediculosis in minutes.

I want to create a new drug which may more effectively control chronic pain caused by nerve injuries. The drug will target specific parts of the brain and spinal cord associated with pain perception and block an enzyme known as type 1 adenylate cyclase (aka AC1), which is produced during nerve injury. Additionally, the drug is supposed to have a required dose at least 10-50 times lower than other drugs in the market.
