Cleveland Clinic hosts a medical innovations summit annually where they do a Forbes like listing of a Top 10 innovations for the year.
Plenty of jhinchak stuff.....put especially alluring are percutaneous MVR- imagine the prospects for a country like India where rheumatic heart disease is much more so prevalent than the US ; diffusion tractography- I always was amazed at MR neurography as a diagnostic imaging technique and always thought neuropsych testing prior to neurosurgery was so much a crude way of permitting a neurosurgeon to through the complex jangle bangle of cortex; diaphragmmatic pacing - reminds me of one of my patients whom we had a hard time getting off the vent...pity we get to read about just 10 of the 100 or so ideas submitted.
Also interesting to read is the last page: 'where they are now' Sounds like an alumnus page for some residency program. Some treat!!
Sometime in the past I had posted stuff on more low tech innovative medicine. Such contrast!!
But things do work. As their brochure says..the difference between creativity and innovation is the action that follows the idea in the latter.
