New Pre-Clinical Data On OmniGuide's BeamPath NEURO(TM) Demonstrates Precise Cutting In Brain Tissue
OmniGuide, Inc., the developer of the first and only flexible CO2 laser fiber based on breakthrough photonic bandgap technology, announced the results of a pre-clinical study comparing the Company"s fiber scalpels to conventional incision methods in neurosurgery. In the study, surgeons from the Barrow Neurological Institute reported that careful studies of incisions produced in live brain tissue with fiber delivered CO2 laser radiation produced precise cuts while minimally effecting adjacent brain tissue when compared with a widely used reference technique. The study, led by Drs. Mark Preul, Robert W. Ryan, and Robert Spetzler of the Neurosurgery Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, in Phoenix, Arizona, was presented at the annual conference of the American Academy of Neurological Surgeons in San Diego, California.

Administration's Paygo Plan Will Overlook Health Reform, Other Health Spending

President Obama urged Congress to enact into law tough financial rules requiring them to offset any new spending or taxes, but was clear that where health care is concerned, lawmakers should overlook those rules, Bloomberg reports. "Under fire from Republicans for his spending proposals, Obama is seeking to impose a "pay-as-you-go" system on the budget to demonstrate his commitment to fiscal restraint" (Faler and Runningen, 6/9). However, the rules Obama suggested Tuesday "would carve out about $2.5 trillion worth of exemptions for [his] priorities over the next decade," the Associated Press reports. "His health care reform plan also would get a green light to run big deficits in its early years." Medicare and Medicaid would be largely exempt, too, even though much spending on the two entitlement programs remains unfunded (Taylor, 6/9). Obama"s budget director, Peter Orszag, meanwhile told an audience at the Brookings Institution that health reform spending would pay for itself over the next decade, Bloomberg reports in a separate story: "These are not untested proposals. These are proposals that have been scored by an appropriately skeptical Budget Office. The package we put together will be deficit neutral over 10 years. There is no ambiguity about that," he said (Gaouette, 6/9). This information was reprinted from kaiserhealthnews.org with kind permission from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
