Second Generation Robotic PCI System Performs Well Across Spectrum of Lesion Complexity
Multicenter PRECISION GRX Study showed the Siemens Corpath GRX is safe and effective in variety of real-world lesions
The Corindus CorPath robotic cath lab navigation system allows operators to sit and control the procedure from behind a lead-lined booth, so they do not have to wear heavy aprons during the procedures.
May 5, 2021 A late-breaking study of the Siemens Healthineers Corindus Corpath GRX second-generation cath lab robotic system had high rates of clinical and technical success across the spectrum of lesion complexity. The multicenter PRECISION GRX Study was presented at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 meeting.

A new treatment that shows promise in fighting coronavirus variants is going into clinical trials in North Texas.
The treatment, a monoclonal antibody from Eli Lilly and Vancouver-based AbCellera Biologics, neutralized all known variants of concern in preliminary lab tests, including variants first identified in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, California and New York, AbCellera announced Tuesday morning.
“It [attaches to] the virus in a way that allows it to stop every variant that we have currently seen globally,” said AbCellera CEO Carl Hansen in an interview. He added that it also appears capable of neutralizing the so-called double mutant strain found in India.

The day you get to meet your baby will be here before you know it. Getting your hospital bag prepped, packed and organized ahead of time, can make the wonderful occasion easier - saving time and making the birth experience seamless.
While hospitals provide necessary items for labor and delivery, a packed birth bag gives an opportunity to bring along some nice to have items for the event.
There was little time to spare after 17-year-old Griffin Weathers was shot in the chest in 2018.
He was losing blood fast, and needed surgery to have any chance of survival.
An ambulance rushed Weathers the 10 minutes to nearby High Point Medical Center. Itâs the closest hospital and the place where paramedics are supposed to take patients with immediately life-threatening injuries.
But High Point Medical Center was not really equipped to save the teenagerâs life. It is not a designated trauma center and does not have the doctors, surgeons and anesthesiologists that come with that designation. So shooting victims like Weathers often need to be transferred to another hospital for surgery.
Even so, doctors say having some protection is better than none. If you are compromised, make sure you re vaccinated because the safety profile is excellent. Make sure the people around you are vaccinated and continue to use masks and social distancing until we have full data that can show us how protected compromised people are after vaccination, Behre said.
Kyle Killough, of North Richland Hills, heeds the advice.
He s a double lung transplant recipient and takes immunosuppressants so his body doesn t reject his new lungs.
He s fully vaccinated but still takes no chances. It was a little nerve racking but I don t live in fear, said Killough.
