There were plenty of treatment methods in ancient period. All of them were done with natural products and herbs. As men began to explore the world and increase his medical knowledge treatment methods changed. The invention of medical equipments is considered to be the major innovation in the history of mankind. It has been given high importance as it helps to save lives. Few of the medical devices invented are hearing aids, scanners and x-ray machines, wheel chair, ultrasound machines etc. In this article we shall look in details about the modern medical equipments invented and used mainly incubator.

During olden times, hospitals and doctors depended on traditional knowledge, passed down from person to person, to diagnose, monitor and treat people suffering from diseases and health conditions. The knowledge that was used during those times was considered to be fact, but it always lacked accurate results. Besides lacking results, these processes were slow, taking a long time to provide treatments to patients. The incapacity of traditional medical practices to provide fast and accurate results has further led to complications and made matters even worse. As time progressed, advancements were made in medical equipments, allowing for better, quicker, and more efficient treatments.

Medical equipments, from the time they were discovered have been able to save thousands of lives every year. They are a crucial part of medical operations and healthcare and have been used extensively from hospitals to clinics, all around the world. These medical apparatus and devices are very crucial in the diagnosis, monitoring or treatment of medical conditions. Without them, the detection and treatment of a certain medical conditions are compromised.

In recent years, there had been major advancements made in medical equipment. The discovery of modern computers has helped a lot in the technological advancements that were done in these modern medical devices. These technological breakthroughs cover a wide array of medical field and treatment including cardiology, neurology, gynecology and reproductive health among others.

One of the recent and most essential advancements made in medical devices is the portable ultrasound machine. With the aid of a smart phone available with ultrasound probe knowledge via USB, this device enables patient data to be sent from remote locales to experts through the phone. In turn, these specialists can further analyze the data that was sent and send back a diagnosis in the quickest time possible.

Prostate cancer, a condition common among many older men can now be treated with the help of an original method of treating growths on the prostate. This method makes use of microwave pulses that are super focused to dissolve the abnormal growth in the prostate area. The newly-discovered gamma cameras have become one of the most helpful tools for the diagnosis of breast cancer. The Brest-specific gamma imaging or BIGS can provide a lot of help in detecting cancer cases, which often go undetected. Another important advancement made is the idea of using microwave in treating certain forms of cancer. This technology involves the use of a skinny needle which is inserted into a tumor that has been found to be cancerous. The needle gives off hot microwaves, causing cancer cells to die after a while. Surgeries will soon be conducted even without the physical presence of a doctor with the introduction of robotic surgeries. These robotic surgeons will be outfitted with an artificial intelligence (AI) program, including 3D ultrasound imaging, enabling these robots to conduct simple surgical by itself.

Dark chocolate is the chocolate that was found to have positive effects on blood pressure. Participants, either given dark, milk, or white chocolate every day were evaluated in different studies. It turns out that dark chocolate contains important antioxidants called phenols. These natural compounds from the cocoa bean are known to increase nitric oxide, reduce platelet aggregation, and inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Cocoa can decrease blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and increase your insulin sensitivity. Milk and white chocolate are low in these antioxidants and do not have the same effect.

The problem is how chocolate is processed in this country. White chocolate, regardless of where you get it, actually contains no cocoa at all and is made only from cocoa butter; just the fat from the cocoa beans. It also contains no phenols. Most of the other chocolate we eat is made with “dutched” cocoa. The cocoa beans are treated with an alkaline solution to make them dark in color and reduce the natural bitterness from the plant. But it also reduces almost 90% of the phenols and most of its healthy benefits. The other problem is that when made into milk chocolate, the milk seems to prevent the phenols from being absorbed and, thus, negating any possible benefit from the chocolate.

The best chocolate for your health appears to be dark chocolate. In the European studies done, participants ate 100gm of chocolate a day (100 grams equals approx. 3.5 ounces). This is the equivalent to 2 1/2 regular size Hershey’s bars. It also added about 550 calories to their diet. They were instructed to substitute this amount of calories from other foods they normally ate each day. You would have to do the same or forego its healthy benefits by increasing your waistline. European chocolate in general is healthier than that found in America due to the fact that it is less processed than ours and contains more of the heart healthy antioxidants. Dark chocolate is an acquired taste for most Americans since it is much more bitter than its milky counterpart.

So why is this research being touted as the ‘best medical news in ages’? It appears to be one more way we look to justify the unhealthy diets we follow. When people hear that chocolate is now healthy, they don’t hear any of the other restrictions involved, and don’t want to. In fact, most people wouldn’t want to change to a more bitter tasting chocolate and also cut out over 500 calories from their diets as they did in the studies. Our diets already have enough sweets and this type of news only fuels the diabetic and obesity epidemics. This kind of medical news will only make most people add extra calories to their diets and increase their health problems.

These studies do look promising but there still is no information on how long these benefits last, how many phenols need to be eaten or how often. Stick with the darkest chocolate, if you must, and balance out your calories. Until we have more information, chocolate should remain a treat and not a treatment.
