i hope it’s okay to ask, what is the damage being done by neuralink to quadriplegics and people with ALS?

Any procedure that involves cutting into cavities of the body has inherent risk. And they are cutting into brains and spinal cords, the central nervous system and your body’s control panel, to implant these devices. These are tissues that once damaged, can never become completely whole again. You cannot grow more spinal cord or brain. When your literal nervous system gets damaged, your body has to work AROUND the damaged tissue and scarring. And sometimes you cannot win, and you do not recover, and you die.

And that’s what happened to a lot of the lab macaques that they put neuralink in.

I’m trying to say that the number of potential complications is immeasurable. UC Davis veterinary records showed macaque (monkeys) implanted with neuralink had complications including bloody diarrhea, fungal and bacteria infections, brain bleeding, partial paralysis, and brain swelling. Every single one had to be euthanized because of these complications. And every single one had a damaged cortex from the neuralink implant

Whoever has neuralink in their body now , I seriously hope they are okay and they recover and don’t have long term complications. But the realist in me feels nothing but dread for them because I know their future is full of invasive surgeries and potential death. Neuralink in humans is what happens when people care more about investors and capital and stock buybacks than they do about concrete medicine and ethics

I liked this one so much, I'd love anything from before or after this part about Stephen having lost magic but still having something to look forward to: https://www.tumblr.com/infiniteeight8/781677587770605568/hello-i-have-returned-with-a-different-prompt

It’s rare that I write out of chronological order, but this time the idea that came to me was a prequel, so here we go!

I did about ten seconds of research into neural interfaces, so there’s some vague and possibly wrong technobabble in here. Just roll with it.

-

The Order would never force him out, but living in the Sanctum quickly becomes more than Stephen can bear. The place is saturated in magic, and Stephen can’t touch any of it anymore. He only waits as long as he does because he’s afraid the Cloak will return to its glass case when he goes. When he finally admits that, Levi drags him out of there itself. Stephen actually laughs.

Of course, then he has to figure out where he and Levi will live. He’s not without resources—he’d had very good insurance as a neurosurgeon, even if it had taken a while to get it paid out—but something in him recoils from the idea of renting an apartment. Half a reference to the dilemma over lunch with Tony and the next thing Stephen knows he’s been cheerfully installed in a guest room. “I’ve got lots of space,” Tony says. “You can stay as long as you need while you figure things out.”

Stephen gets the distinct impression Tony is glad to have company now that Ms. Potts has moved out.

It’s just as well, because Stephen has nothing to do, so he ends up trailing after Tony like a stray puppy half the time. Which is how he ends up here, on a couch in Tony’s lab, watching as the man works on the next generation of Colonel Rhodes's leg braces. Not that Rhodes has asked for a new generation. The set he has have already made the Stark Industries name in the field of  assistive devices, but Tony is never satisfied. Not when it comes to his best friend.

Tony waves and a new hologram springs to life. It’s remarkable how intuitive he’s made the whole— Stephen frowns. “Are you reading signals from the spinal column or the peripheral nervous system?” 

“Peripheral nervous system,” Tony says, looking over at him. “Why?”

“The electrodes you’re using must pick up a lot of noise.” Stephen stands and walks over to get a better look.

“They do; we process it out after,” Tony says. “Rhodey didn’t want implants.”

Stephen makes a thoughtful noise, reaching out and manipulating the diagram. “There’s improvements to be made without implants,” he says absently. Tony certainly did his research, but he doesn’t know the nervous system like Stephen does.

Tony tilts his head. “Show me.”

Three hours later, after Levi and DUM-E herd them out of the lab to eat lunch, Tony asks, “So what’s the going rate for a neurosurgeon’s consulting fee?”

Stephen starts to protest and then catches Tony’s sly glance and has to let out an exasperated laugh. “Is there anything you won’t take it upon yourself to fix?”

“Probably not,” Tony says, grinning. “Come on, was I wrong? If that’s what you can do when you’re out of date on the literature, then imagine what you’ll have to offer once you catch up. And you obviously enjoyed it.”

“I did,” Stephen admits. He hadn’t even considered consulting, probably because he’d written the idea off so thoroughly after his accident. But now… Well, Tony didn’t build the newer armors by hand, but they were no less a work of his mind. Stephen didn’t have to hold the knife himself for his work to impact the field, and it turns out he found the intricacies of the human nervous system just as fascinating as he ever had. “How did you know?”

Tony scoffs. “Come on, that was easy. You insisted on being called Doctor even when you were entitled to being called Sorcerer Supreme. Doesn’t take a genius to see that it’s still a part of you.”

“Apparently it did take a genius,” Stephen shoots back, smiling slightly. “Since no one else thought of it.”

Tony just laughs.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by the lovely @eveningspirit and @thewildballyntynesgrow! and oh boy have I got a lot of WIPs to go over!

do no harm

this one already has 3 chapters on ao3 and it's about Frank's back injury being worse than he thought and Robby helping him before he turns to drugs

“I’m fine!” He yelled. Dr. Robby’s eyes widened but Frank couldn’t stand to have the man look at him like that. “I was handling it! I could have handled it!” He fought to sit up again, this time powering through the pain. Robby was calling his name, trying to get him to relax, to lay back down, but it only fueled his anger and determination. “I know you think I’m weak now, but I was working on it! I was still able to work! Don’t treat me like I’m sick! Don’t-”

midnight train

This has 2 chapters on ao3 and its Frank having the worst commute of his entire life lol

This was the first concrete evidence that Langdon really was there on the train. While he knew his resident was at the site of this tragedy, seeing proof was a whole different beast. He could no longer try to convince himself that it happened to be another doctor named Langdon on the blue line at the same time Frank would be. There was no denying it now. Robby forced himself to look away.

Now its time for unpublished WIPs!!! I have like 7 so I'll just do the ones I'm furthest along in

The Shoulder One (untitled)

The one where Frank dislocates his shoulder

Frank moved his head to get a better look and oh. His shoulder was definitely not supposed to be there. He felt a rush of dizziness and nausea hit him. He let his head thunk against the floor and let out another groan.  “Oh I don't feel good.” Robby was crouching above his head and let out a sarcastic laugh which Frank did not appreciate.

The Seizure One (untitled)

The one where Frank has a seizure (exists in a world without the drug diversion)

Everyone waited with baited breath for something to happen. Langdon was still seizing, lips turning blue from lack of adequate air flow. Mel felt dread begin to descend in her chest. As the seconds passed with no change, Robby spoke. “If he doesn’t respond in the next minute, we’re moving him to a room. Dr. Mohan, please draw up some more diazepam and also a dose of Keppra please. Dana, what’s open?”

The Baclofen Pump One (untitled)

This one is where Frank has a partial spinal cord injury and has a device implanted called a baclofen pump. It's on the stomach and has a catheter that goes into the spinal cord to deliver muscle relaxant directly. The pump malfunctions and accidentally gives Frank too much medication

“Hey SLEEPY HEAD!” Frank jolted upright, looking around frantically. Abbot was staring at him from across the nurses’ station. He had a vaguely amused yet unimpressed expression. “Let’s not be falling asleep, man. It’s morning time!” Frank shook his head to try and wake himself up but found his eyes closing anyway. He tried to pick his head up, but it felt like a bowling ball. His head made contact with the keyboard. “Langdon?” Abbot’s voice sounded a million miles away.

Alright, those are the biggest WIPs I have! Sorry this is so long omg. If you've got this far, thank you so much!!! I've got several others but I haven't gotten them as fleshed out and I didn't want this to be even longer lol

tagging some moots, not sure if all are writers or if they've already been tagged, but viola @ahs0katan, @aflynnwriter, @honorarybimbo, @robbyrobinavitch @drfranklangdon

Also, anyone who wants to do it! If you see my post, please tag me so I can look at y'alls WIPs!!! so good

[macking-cheese]

Okay so this probably sounds dumb but at least for now I'm calling it a Mindtrapped AU (my thing with ES Bumblebee getting put under Mandroid's control)

I went back and rewatched the last three episodes of S1 (I replayed Stowed Away. Stowaways so many times I can't count it) but basically I'm rewriting that entire episode plus tweaking the last two. Now I have a canon-relevant reason for Bee going into the G.H.O.S.T Headquarters (his secret mission) and the kids stay home!!!! What compelled them to follow him in canon?! It's like they wanted to get captured or smth,,

So Bee's basically crawling through the walls like a roach to get his business done *insert cool spy stuff that me am not smart enough to write*. I also think that (just my opinion) Optimus kinda acted too obviously suspicious of Croft and that ruined the element of surprise because she immediately clocked that something was up.

And Schloder's complete 180 opinion of Bee?! Wasn't he eager to put that minibot in cuffs just episodes ago??? I think I'm going crazy

Anyway I'm trying to make it flow more cohesively while I build up to the bigger events

I have an oc that would fit perfectly into the plotline but idk if I should actually flesh that out or keep it more canon compliant. On one hand, I'd have an excuse to write them (an unaffiliated Velocitronian bounty hunter with relations to G.H.O.S.T but not officially working for them), and on the other I wanna keep the main antagonist a human (Croft, Mandroid)

Orrrrr, I could write them in and turn it into a double betrayal? (They're so gonna get killed off btw, it was destined in the scriptures)

I'm completely torn on this, y'all can decide whether or not they debut in the fic.

ANYWHO,,,,,,,

Bee gets got at the wrong time and the mission is a failure, and instead of being put in a cell, is immediately put into interrogation (read: torture) for espionage and conspiring with "the enemy". Y'know how everyone else has a badge on their chest/shoulders? Well, Bee gets one implanted directly into his neural net, attached at the spinal cord in the lumbar region, and it's so tightly interconnected that it hurt, threatening to sever the delicate circuitry. (It's fully intended to actually cut the cord if it gets deactivated, a fun surprise for later. I plan on exploring the potential of Cybertronian mobility devices. I also like the prospect of Bee using a cane)

During the fight, Breakdown comes back after getting his shit together, feeling terrible for abandoning his bbg and his family. He takes the responsibility of doing everything he can to keep the mind controlled minibot focused on him and nothing else, which leaves the terrans relatively unscathed at the end. Breakdown just kinda,,, lets his shit get rocked, feeling like he deserves to get beat up like that for even thinking about abandoning Bee. He comes out less unscathed, but alive.

Because it's a different type of control chip, and also connected to a computer at G.H.O.S.T and not that hand thing Croft has, Bee is still under when that big energy wave hits in the last episode, though since the connection was abandoned, there's no input coming through and Bee is left standing there uselessly, waiting for a signal that never arrives.

I think it'd be funny if Breakdown were to try and mess with him, making stupid faces and poking at him to try and get a reaction. He manages to get a few doorwing and horn twitches, and a full body movement when he jostles him hard enough. Other than that, nothing, and it's lowkey disconcerting. None of the others can get any other reaction, and especially Jawbreaker feels somehow responsible and keeps clinging onto him like a koala, hoping that behind the chip, he can feel that his little brother is there trying to support him.

What if the only reaction he gives is because of Hashtag, due to her G.H.O.S.T affiliation? He can sense a signal bouncing through her from that computer and he gives attention to her, awaiting for a command. She of course is freaked out about it but also enamored, because that's one of the craziest situations she has ever been in aside from the major fight earlier.

She can't properly intercept the signal because it's out of access, but now they have a better clue on where to look to shut the computer down and get Bee back.

And boy is that reunion uneasy.

[demon-girl-izalith]

This is a small piece I had written after a particularly important experience I had this sluggish summer day as I was grappling with a lot. I hope it's able to brighten some of your days as well.

Bright Suburban Rain

I used to enjoy electronic repairs. A childlike wonder filling my body as I looked underneath the plastic shells asking them to tell me their secrets, the mysteries of their seemingly arcane powers, I would carefully prod the circuits and tiny components inside -- it was like magic to me. But despite all my efforts, my job as a repair technician with all its customer service glory, often resulted in a form of cursed trade, a trade made under coercion. A trade for the wonder and whimsy of a subject I once held dear to me for money that I needed in order to survive... I sat there, feeling my pain medication's effects wane.

I had to take opioids daily to keep myself up and able to work, the horrible medicine my only relief from the pain caused by a botched spinal surgery. I sat there working with my reduced hours, the anxiety of the limited income from the cut hours numbing my mind to my feelings. It willed me with a rich fog that numbed both senses and mind, a fog made only more dense by the opioids. Horrible things that rendered me much like a tranquilized beast; I was made complacent with my suffering as I went about my tasks in the repair shop. I liked this job in many ways, despite the terrible spoiled and often well-off customers I had to deal with daily. But deep down I knew my real talents were wasted on this job, and all my coworkers new it, too; if it wasn't for my spinal disease I would have gone to graduate school two years prior, taught under a professor who explicitly wanted me in their department as a new professor. Before this current job, before my spine disease hit me in full force, I was a researcher studying an intersection in fields I was quite passionate about-- philosophy, neuroscience, and robotics. Sadly, that opportunity had likely withered to dust by now.

I poked at a retro console my coworkers set aside for me. They knew I enjoyed these repairs the most. It was a kind gesture, and despite myself I was appreciative. Using my probes on the green and copper pathways, poking them gently on either side of components and turning the nob on my meter to the appropriate settings, I swiftly identified the issue - a failed fuse in the power circuitry. I linked a new part in the work order notes, and quoted the customer the cost of the repair, the voice I spoke with on that phone betraying my severe utter lack of emotionality inside.

I used to feel something when working with these devices, a reverence for them even, I used to look forward to working on them. Even though my feelings were broken long before this job, at least fixing things still made me feel *something*. But this time... this time I felt little. That was becoming more common these days, as if I was reaching some desperate emotional event horizon of no return. That cursed contract almost completed, a deal made in hell, taking with it all my wonder, my drive, my hope, in exchange for survival. Against those same hopes and dreams, and against my consent, I was stripped of what I prized most-- childhood joy. I left the shop, my back aching from the implants not working as they should. "Damn quack surgeons" I mumbled as I crawled into my overly small car, trying to make haste to take advantage of the slowing lull in rain. I continued to feel nothing during my drive home.

The sun peaked through the clouds during this brief respite in the rain. As I drove I wished to myself that I wasn't a prisoner to this suburban hell, a dreadful place where every person acted like things were just fine. Things were not fine. I wished I could enjoy the sunshine and rain, I wished I could feel... I called my partner, asking how her day was. The call was a plea, a cry for help, a way out our of the unfeeling hell I knew we were both trapped in. I told her I loved her and I would see her soon at home. As I hung up the phone, I took notice of the dirty asphalt ahead of my car covered in small pools of rain, the cloudy fog and light mist creeping around the roads as I pierced them with my car, sending whisps into small spirals in the air. I briefly looked to my left and saw occasional sheets of water poking out of the gaps in the lawns of the near identical suburban houses, the greenery of trees that lived here long before the houses construction barely poking through gaps between the houses, their branches beckoning me to hold onto hope. I struggled to maintain grip on that hope as I drove the curve of the hilly road in my gross old car, the faint smell or cigar smoke mixing with the humid smell of rain hitting soil leaking through my poor climate control system.

A black truck suddenly drove past me, it's speed far too fast to be safe especially on a wet road such as this. "Stupid Republican idiots" I thought to myself as the car rushed by and kicked up water into a fine mist. Every pool it hit, new water kicked up into the foggy atmosphere, and as I drove further along the road the bright warm sun lit the misty air up, and to my wonder and surprise it filled it with beautiful and otherworldly auroras of rainbow droplets, constantly sustained behind this gaudy truck. I looked at those rainbows and felt something, and felt compelled to follow even though it diverted from my route home. I maintained distance behind that dumb truck, almost certainly unaware of the beauty it had created in its vile chugging along the road. I sped up to make it through the light, barely scraping by, but also clinging just behind at ther right distance so as to maintain enough space to hit the right angle and see that beauty. I craved that beauty. It was as if I was chasing my hope itself.

As I suddenly passed into a space with fewer houses, I once again saw the bright sun, it lit the suburban hell around me and I became aware of all the beautiful greenery, the dripping water, the vibrant life, hidden amongst the roadside brush, the water pooling around it and washing it clean of the roads contaminents. The world felt like it was telling me that despite it all, life would still be beautiful. To not give up. As if an assurance from nature that the capitalistic doom of suburbia wouldn't prevail over the beauty and hope of life itself. I felt my eyes water a bit, still maintaining a slight distance from the expensive truck. As I reached the end of the road I frantically clamored for my cell phone, calling my partner back, eager to tell her about my experience. I slowed to a stop as I approached a red light on a busy road. As I spoke and recounted my experience to her she talked in an almost similarly exhausted but superficially happy tone I had spoken with on the phone with that customer. I felt slightly awkward as I sat there, "perhaps I was reading into it" I thought to myself. Regardless I knew she didn't quite understand what I was trying to say. I hoped that one day, somehow, she was able to see through the veil of misery that I did on that road, to witness an omen, a sign of triumph over the nihilistic purgatory we are all trapped in. I clenched my fist and breathed in the faintly smoky smelling recycled air of my vehicle. As it filled my lungs, I made up my mind to hold on as long as I could.

[lifewithchronicpain]

In an episode of ABC’s Four Corners this week, the use of spinal cord stimulators for chronic back pain was brought into question.

Spinal cord stimulators are devices implanted surgically which deliver electric impulses directly to the spinal cord. They’ve been used to treat people with chronic pain since the 1960s.

Their design has changed significantly over time. Early models required an external generator and invasive surgery to implant them. Current devices are fully implantable, rechargeable and can deliver a variety of electrical signals.

However, despite their long history, rigorous experimental research to test the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulators has only been conducted this century. The findings don’t support their use for treating chronic pain. In fact, data points to a significant risk of harm. (Read more at link)

It amazes me what doctors will put in patients without sufficient evidence it works.

[vague-humanoid]

On May 7, 2011, Georgia resident Tonya Brand noticed a pain on the inside of her right thigh. As the pain grew worse in the 4- to 5-inch area of her leg, she headed to a hospital. There, doctors suspected she had a blood clot. But an ultrasound the next day failed to find one. Instead, it revealed a mysterious toothpick-sized object lodged in Brand's leg.

Over the next few weeks, the painful area became a bulge, and on June 17, Brand put pressure on it. Unexpectedly, the protrusion popped, and a 1.5-inch metal wire came poking out of her leg, piercing her skin.

The piece of metal was later determined to be part of a metal filter she had implanted in a vein in her abdomen more than two years earlier, in March 2009, according to a lawsuit Brand filed. The filter was initially placed in her inferior vena cava (IVC), the body's largest vein tasked with bringing deoxygenated blood from the lower body back up to the heart. The filter is intended to catch blood clots, preventing them from getting into the lungs, where they could cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Brand got the IVC filter ahead of a spinal surgery she had in 2009, which could boost her risk of clots.

After the wire burst from her leg, X-rays showed that another metal shard had broken free from the filter and traveled. The second one lodged itself near her spine, which is where it remains—it's too risky to try to remove. Brand underwent surgery in July 2011 to try to remove the rest of the filter in her IVC, but the surgeons failed to collect the remnants after several attempts.

whats your five fav facts about any of your ocs :o?

the main cast were once my headcanon versions of powerpuff girls/rowdyruff boys characters. the entire comic was going to be a fan comic, until i thought about how it would be easier to monetize my own creation. if you're deep enough in that fandom, it's possible you can guess who used to be who (':

ace has no reproductive organs. they fr built like a ken doll

ace has a seeing-eye hellhound :3 and according to old sketches, before i changed everyone from being human and they had a regular dog, their name was going to be gart???? or maybe garf??? i don't even know 😭😭 your guess is as good as mine

not gonna get too spoilery, but magic wielders get their powers from gemstones or gem shards. those with nefarious purposes can also retool the gems to act as mind control devices, when implanted into someone's spinal cord :3

the (currently) unseen empress mentioned in the last couple pages is a reworked scrapped design of the original antagonist of the story!!! before there was axel, there was aella; a 10 foot tall, three-eyed demon whose personality was very similar to spinel and jinx. after a huge overhaul of the story and characters, her design went unused and the personality went into bibi. repurposing her into another character was actually a more recent decision! hopefully in the near future, i can whip up some drawings of them!!

How important is post-surgery care and follow-up in evaluating an orthopedic surgeon's effectiveness

Orthopedic surgeries, whether they involve joint replacement, spinal correction, or sports injury treatment, do not end in the operating room. In fact, the true test of surgical success often lies in what happens after the procedure — in the post-surgery care and follow-up. For anyone seeking the best orthopedic surgeon in Greater Noida West, it's crucial to look beyond just the credentials and surgical skill and consider the surgeon’s commitment to comprehensive aftercare.

This is where Dr. Himanshu Gupta stands out as a shining example. Known for his compassionate approach, meticulous post-operative monitoring, and long-term follow-up plans, Dr. Himanshu Gupta has earned a reputation as the best orthopedic surgeon in Greater Noida West.

Why Post-Surgery Care Matters

Post-surgery care is critical because it significantly influences:

Recovery Speed: Good follow-up care helps patients regain mobility and strength faster.

Complication Prevention: Monitoring ensures early detection and treatment of infections, blood clots, or implant-related issues.

Rehabilitation Success: Surgeons who integrate physiotherapy and tailored exercise programs into follow-up care see better patient outcomes.

Patient Confidence: Knowing that the surgeon is available for regular check-ups builds trust and eases patient anxiety.

The best orthopedic surgeon in Greater Noida West, like Dr. Himanshu Gupta, understands that a successful surgery is only the beginning. He works closely with each patient throughout their healing process, making him a preferred choice in the region.

Dr. Himanshu Gupta’s Approach to Follow-Up

Unlike many surgeons who shift focus once the operation is completed, Dr. Himanshu Gupta emphasizes the importance of long-term engagement with his patients. His post-operative care routine includes:

Personalized Recovery Plans: Customized exercises and activity restrictions tailored to the individual patient’s health and surgery type.

Scheduled Follow-Ups: Regular appointments to check wound healing, pain levels, and joint or bone function.

24/7 Patient Support: Quick availability via clinic or emergency services for any post-operative complications.

Coordination with Therapists: Close collaboration with physiotherapists ensures integrated rehabilitation.

This comprehensive approach reaffirms why he is known as the best orthopedic surgeon in Greater Noida West.

The Role of Patient Monitoring in Surgical Success

In orthopedic care, outcomes vary widely depending on how well the recovery phase is managed. For instance:

Knee Replacement: Without guided physiotherapy and follow-ups, the new joint may stiffen or become misaligned.

Top 8 Applications of 3D Printing in Medical Industry

3D printing technology, with its highly customizable, responsive and material-saving features, is triggering profound changes in the medical field. Especially in the application of medical models, 3D printing technology shows unparalleled advantages and potential.

Furthermore, 3D printing technology, as an emerging additive manufacturing technology, has made breakthroughs in its application in the medical field in recent years. The application of 3D printing technology in the medical field is becoming more and more widespread. Through the layer-by-layer stacking of digital models, a variety of medical devices, prosthetics, orthotics and other aids, and even human organs, can be accurately printed.

1.Surgical preview model

With 3D printing technology, doctors can create surgical preview models to help them simulate operations before surgery, improving accuracy and safety.

It is important for medical workers to conduct preoperative planning for risky and difficult procedures. In the previous surgical preview process, medical workers often need to obtain the patient's data through CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other imaging equipment, and then the two-dimensional medical image using software to convert into realistic three-dimensional data. Today, medical workers can use devices such as 3D printers to print 3D models directly. In this way, it not only can assist the doctor to carry out accurate surgical planning, improve the success rate of surgery, but also to facilitate the communication and exchange between medical workers and patients on the surgical program plan.

2.Surgical guide

Surgical guides can help the surgeon to accurately position and operate during surgery, reducing surgical errors and improving surgical outcomes.

As an auxiliary surgical tool during surgery, surgical guides can help medical workers to accurately implement surgical programmes. Currently, the types of surgical guides have included joint guides, spinal guides, oral implant guides, etc. With the help of 3D printed surgical guides, firstly, the 3D scanning technology can produce three-dimensional data on the patient's affected area, which allows the doctor to obtain the most realistic information, so as to better plan the surgery. Secondly, while making up for the shortcomings of the traditional surgical guide manufacturing process, the size and shape of the guide can also be adjusted as needed.In this way, different patients can have a guide plate that meets their real needs.

3.Dental applications

3D printing technology is also widely used in the field of dentistry to print personalized trays, moulds, etc., to help patients have better dental treatment.

The application of 3D printing in the dental field mainly focuses on the design and production of metal teeth, invisible braces, etc. The emergence of cutting-edge technology of 3D printing creates more possibilities for those who need orthodontic treatment to achieve personalized and customized braces. At different stages of orthodontic treatment, orthodontists need different sets of braces. With the help of 3D printing to create multiple sets of braces needed for orthodontic treatment, it not only helps the healthy development of teeth, but also reduces the cost of braces production. The significance of these digital technologies is that they are gradually making it less necessary for doctors to make models, dentures, etc. by hand, and returning more of their efforts to the diagnosis of oral diseases and the performance of oral surgery itself.

4.Rehabilitation medical equipment

Through 3D printing technology, a variety of rehabilitation medical devices, such as prosthetics and orthotics, can be created to help patients regain function.

The real value of 3D printing for orthopaedic insoles, bionic hands, hearing aids and other rehabilitation devices is not only to achieve accurate customization, but also to allow accurate and efficient digital manufacturing technology to replace the traditional production methods, reducing the cost of individual customized rehabilitation medical devices and shortening the production cycle. 3D printing process is diversified, and there is a wide range of 3D printing materials. SLA light-curing 3D printing technology has the advantage of being able to provide the most efficient and cost-effective 3D printing technology. SLA light-curing 3D printing technology is widely used in rapid prototyping by the medical device industry due to its advantages of fast processing speed, high precision, good surface quality of photosensitive resin material moulding and moderate cost.

5.Medical Equipment Cases

3D printing technology can also be used to create a variety of medical devices, such as surgical instruments and medical equipment, to improve the personalization and accuracy of medical devices.

Take the example of 3D printing for mass customized production in the hearing aid shell industry. In the traditional way, injection moulds need to be made from a model of the patient's ear canal. The final shape of the hearing aid is obtained by drilling sound holes and manually processing the plastic product. If a mistake is made during the process, the mould needs to be recreated. The process of making a hearing aid using a 3D printer, on the other hand, begins with the design of a silicone mould or impression of the patient's ear canal, a step that is done using a 3D scanner. CAD software is then used to convert the scanned data into a design file that can be read by the 3D printer. The designer can then use the software to modify the 3D image and create the final product shape.

6.Precision replication and personalization

3D printing technology is able to accurately restore a patient's anatomy and produce full-size, high-fidelity medical models based on the patient's CT, MRI and other imaging data. These models not only have extremely high geometric accuracy and surface quality, but also reflect the unique physiological characteristics of the patient, providing doctors with real and reliable references.

7.Teaching and training

3D printed medical models also play an important role in medical education and training. By printing out models of various typical cases, medical students can perform practical operations in a simulated surgical environment to enhance their surgical skills and resilience. At the same time, these models can also be used as teaching tools to help students better understand human anatomy and disease principles.

8.Scientific research and experimentation

In the field of medical research, 3D printed medical models also have important applications. Researchers can use these models to conduct experimental studies such as drug screening and biomechanical testing to explore new treatment methods and technologies. In addition, by printing tissue or organ models with specific physiological functions, they can also provide strong support for research in cutting-edge fields such as organ transplantation and regenerative medicine.

In summary, 3D printing technology has a wide and far-reaching significance in the application of medical models. It not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of medical services, but also promotes the innovative development of medical education, research and clinical practice. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application scope, we have reason to believe that 3D printing will play a more important role in the future medical field.

Well, McGee (Sean Murray) just learned he’s definitely right to be suspicious of Laroche (Seamus Dever). The realization comes after the agent saves the deputy director’s life from a hitman in the latest NCIS episode.

To McGee’s confusion, his wife Delilah (Margo Harshman) gets off the elevator at NCIS with Laroche and are seemingly getting along. (She calls him Gabe.) She thinks he’s nice, but McGee protests, showing a mint (Laroche’s brand) he found under his desk, an indication, as he sees it, that he’s been spying on him. And this isn’t about losing out on the job to him, he insists, but rather about him hiding things from the team and playing politics with cases.

After an anonymous tip, the team arrests and interrogates a hitman known as The Poet, only for him to die by suicide via capsules he had embedded in his arms. Laroche then gets involved in the case … and surprises McGee by asking about any dietary restrictions because it turns out that he and Delilah planned a dinner with their spouses (her idea). McGee, of course, tries to find excuses (including needing a babysitter and to work), but Vance (Rocky Carroll) sees it as a good time to exchange updates about the case.

Michael Yarish / CBS

Meanwhile, Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) goes undercover as The Poet to try to find out from the broker, Gemma, who hired him for his recent targets. The broker is a jeweler in the diamond district, and one of her clients is Parker’s (Gary Cole) nemesis, Kansas City mob boss Carla Marino. So, of course, he thinks she’s involved. But why would she order a hit on two naval officers and be interested in the nuclear fuel on the Atlas train? Well, it does run through her area. Parker’s ready to fly out to arrest her the moment there’s any evidence.

While the rest of the team finds the broker gone, the security guard at the jeweler’s dead, and a safe in the floor, McGee and Delilah sit down for dinner with Laroche and his wife, Tammy (Brooke Lyons), who talks about the advances made in biocompatible devices: They use AI to decode a brain’s messages and bypass spinal compression using a wireless implant. As Laroche puts it, she’ll have patients tap dancing by 2030, but he wonders, does the world need more tap dancers? That’s a sore subject for McGee, who tap dances. Laroche does, too, he shares — political tap dance, that is, which is what he calls what he does: To get what you want in this town, sometimes you have to tell one person one thing and another the complete opposite. To McGee, that sounds like lying. Laroche remarks the job isn’t for everyone.

Unfortunately for McGee, he can’t even escape: per photos in the safe, Laroche is the next target. Laroche, however, refuses to go back to NCIS for protection since the hitman’s dead. He also doesn’t want to scare his wife unnecessarily. But why is he being targeted? This is when the rest of the team begins to think McGee was right about him all along. It turns out that he was on the top secret board of directors for the Atlas train’s security protocols — and the drills to simulate a disaster scenario were run near Kansas City.

Thanks to Delilah giving him a good excuse — she pours raspberry sauce on his pants so he has to go clean it up in the bathroom — McGee sneaks into Laroche’s office. The deputy director catches him, just after he’s found a file on himself, with his phone and bank records. Laroche says he’s just keeping tabs on him since McGee is doing the same to him. McGee accuses him of being the mole back when Torres was undercover with Nexus, but Laroche seems genuinely surprised. As for why he kept his connection to Atlas secret, he says he couldn’t even tell Vance — and accuses McGee of being a sore loser. (Ouch.)

The team catches Gemma trying to flee the country, and she reveals that she knew the client was trying to clean house when she found her guard dead. There’s another hitman out there to eliminate all loose ends — including outstanding targets, like Laroche. She also insists that Carla isn’t the client. Rather, it’s someone not from Kansas City, and he had a tattoo.

With that, McGee’s in charge of Laroche’s protection (if he hasn’t shot him himself yet, he’s showing remarkable restraint, Parker says), and they prepare to head to NCIS. Laroche struggles to open his gun safe (Tammy has to remind him of the code), but before the four of them can leave, there are shots fired outside. The hitman’s there and has killed the police. Delilah and Tammy hide in a room without windows, while McGee stays with Laroche, even after the deputy director tells him to go, too, since anyone he’s with is also in danger. This is also when he reveals that McGee was supposed to get the deputy director job, but then he sent SecNav a report advocating for a shakeup and criticizing NCIS for being too close-knit and acting more like a family than a federal agency. He knows now that’s not a bad thing. He also doesn’t think he can tap dance his way out of this until McGee comes up with a plan: He poses as the hitman and makes the new one think he’s shot and killed Laroche, until the team can arrest her. And so, Laroche has McGee and the Kevlar vest that Vance got him when he got the job to thank. He thought he’d been joking when he said he might need it some day, and McGee says he was just looking out for his family.

They still don’t know who wanted Laroche dead, however, with the new hitman not talking. But they do know whoever went to Gemma about it was part of the Nexus cartel by the tattoo. They’re back and planning something, and they don’t know how Carla is connected (but we do know that both are part of the finale).

McGee and Laroche have now cleared the air … just in time for the reveal that the tip about the hitman came from inside the government. Thanks to a program from Delilah, they have the name Nocturne — which McGee saw written, with numbers and letters, on a Post-it on a notebook in Laroche’s desk in his home office. And so when Laroche stops by to thank him again for saving his life, McGee shakes his hand, then leans in close to warn him he knows about Nocturne and is coming for him.

I am a cyborg. Implanted in my abdomen in a computerized device that injects a micro-dose of a pain medication into my spinal fluid at regulated intervals. It is programmable by Bluetooth with a cool device that looks like a cell phone. A baseline established, I will get mine in two weeks.

This is awesome because I am now free of the heavy opiates they were prescribing. Also the nerve medications they had me on were heavy duty mood altering drugs with lots of side effects. These I have to slowly taper off as the implant is adjusted to compensate.

It is like my real self is slowly coming back online.
