- Cardiac Navigation System - Real Time Mapping of Cardiac Blood Flow
- This diagnostic procedure can determine which parts of the heart are receiving inadequate blood flow. This information is particularly useful for by-pass surgery diagnostics.

- The old approach to diabetes was to focus on eliminating refined sugars and foods that turned into sugars -- starches, breads, fruits, etc., -- from the diet. Unfortunately, with all of the complex carbohydrates eliminated, fat and protein are all that is left in the diet.
The new approach focuses more attention on fat. Fat is a problem for diabetics. The more fat there is in the diet, the harder time insulin has in getting sugar into the cell.

- Modern diabetes management requires intensive self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, often coupled with a multicomponent insulin program. Recent advances include alternate site blood glucose testing devices, which facilitate more frequent sampling by individuals with diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring through interstitial fluid analysis is now available and appears to give a more representative picture of the glycemic variations typical for type 1 diabetes. Recombinant DNA technology has led to the development of new insulin analogs that provide more physiologic insulin delivery. Inhaled and oral insulin formulations may replace multiple injections in future insulin therapy regimens.
