Medical Advances EVoz

Artificial heart
In July 2001, a group of surgeons from Louisville, Kentucky managed to transplant a new generation artificial heart into a patient. The device, known as AbioCor, was first transplanted to a person, who was suffering from heart failure.
Artificial heart –
|ɑːtɪˈfɪʃəl|
искусственное сердце
Heart failure – сердечная недостаточность
Transplant – пересаживать (органы)
Transplantation (n) - пересадка

Camera capsule
With this pill doctors can diagnose cancer at the earliest stages. The device was created for producing high-quality color images in confined spaces. Camera capsule can detect signs of esophageal cancer.
Esophageal cancer – рак пищевода
[iːˈsɒfəgəl]
Camera capsule –видеокапсула
|ˈkæpsjuːl|

Bioresorbable stents
Scientists have developed the world's first bioabsorbable stents for treating thrombosis. A stent expands the blood vessels to prevent a blockage. Stents are manufactured from a material that may dissolve or be absorbed in the body.
bioabsorbable stents - биорассасываемые стенты
thrombosis |θrɒmˈbəʊsɪs| - тромбоз;
expand the vessel – расширить сосуд;
prevent the blockage – предотвратить стеноз;
dissolve, absorb – рассасываться, растворяться

Bionic arm iLIMB
Created by David Gow in 2007, the iLIMB bionic arm is the world's first artificial limb with five individually mechanized fingers. Bionic arms work by picking up signals from a user's muscles.
* Prosthetics - replacement of lost or irreversibly damaged body parts with artificial substitutes.
Bionic arm – бионическая рука
Artificial limb – искусственная конечность
Mechanized fingers – механизированные пальцы
Prosthetics – протезирование
|prɒsˈθetɪks|

Biomechanical devices and prostheses
In 2013 scientists invented the first prototypes of "smart" prostheses with feedback (emulation of tactile sensations), which enabled a prosthesis to perceive and transmit the feeling of pain or discomfort.
Prosthesis – протезы
|prɒsˈθiːsɪs|
Perceive, transmit – ощущать, передавать
Tactile sensations – осязательные, тактильные ощущения
