Minimally invasive ablation treats osteoid osteoma in young athlete An 8-year-old boy needed treatment for an osteoid osteoma. His family turned to UC Davis Children’s Hospital to get him back in the game.

Love this feel-good story — and that it helps illustrate the wide-ranging applications of minimally invasive ablation:

The ultrasound paradox: devices are inexpensive but development requires talent and capital.

You have to solve issues of signal processing, electrical engineering, mechanical design, and physics simultaneously. Proud of our team for pushing through these challenges.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

While NIH/NSF grant overhead rates need reform, a 15% cap is unrealistic. Even as a scrappy startup, our indirect rate is ~40%. We need a balanced approach that ensures research sustainability.

Something fascinating - surgeries are often hospitals' biggest money-makers, and it makes sense why. For so many major diseases, surgery is the best shot at a cure. Every surgical breakthrough leads to greater longevity.

Why do so many young people suddenly have cancer? When you were born is actually an important risk factor for cancer.

As cancer rates are surging in younger people, we face a crucial reality: surgery remains the only path to a cure for most cancers. This is why our mission at Current Surgical is so important.
