Proton therapy is a very specific type of radiotherapy and much more effective, precise and safe for certain cases of cancer, which has led it to become a powerful tool in the fight against this disease.
While conventional radiotherapy uses photons or electrons, this therapy uses protons to treat malignant tumors.
In this article we are going to see in detail what proton therapy is, the advantages and benefits it offers, the challenges it presents and what situation it is in.
On October 4, 5 and 6, the 40th Hospital Engineering Seminar – National Congress will be held in A Coruña.
One more year, and this will be the fourth, Galicia will host the event, with the city of the Tower of Hercules once again being the chosen city after 36 years.
From the Organizing Committee, formed by the Spanish Association of Hospital Engineering (AEIH), and Cotehga, the Commission of Hospital Technicians of García, they affirm that the health system, after years of development, absorbs a very considerable part of the GDP. of Western countries.
In this context, it seems time to apply circular economy criteria such as a greater contribution from renewable energies, more comprehensive recycling or the use of local resources.
That will be one of the keys to the 40th edition of this event in which professionals from the sector will share their knowledge, research, innovations, experiences and projects, through presentations, communications or discussion tables.
El trabajo conjunto de UNE, CEM y ENAC en normalización, metrología y acreditación y el lanzamiento de la web “Infraestructura de la calidad española”, buscan concienciar sobre la importancia de contar con una infraestructura de la calidad fuerte en España.
Potenciar la infraestructura de la calidad en España.
Ese es el principal objetivo del acuerdo que firmaron este mes de julio la Asociación Española de Normalización, UNE, el Centro Español de Metrología (CEM), y la Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC).
Se trata de un protocolo de colaboración para impulsar la infraestructura de la calidad en España, un elemento que contribuye a aumentar la competitividad de los sectores de actividad y del tejido económico e industrial español, así como a mejorar el funcionamiento efectivo del Mercado Interior de la UE y el acceso a mercados de terceros países.
A new system against cyberattacks on the electrical network. This is one of the latest big news that the hospital engineering and electrical safety sector has received.
The announcement came at the beginning of July and the protagonists have been the Energy Research Institute of Catalonia (Irec), together with the electricity distribution company Anell. Both have launched a pilot for a platform that helps prevent and mitigate cyberattacks on systems as critical as the electricity grid, and which could be replicated in other distribution networks, both nationally and internationally.
Last October, the 38th Hospital Engineering Congress / 9th IFHE-EU Congress was held in Gijón (Spain). During the two and a half days that the event lasted, several of the most important professionals in the health sector in this area met.
On this occasion, the main novelties, trends and elements of analysis were the innovation of technology, such as 3D printing, Big Data, equipment management … There were also novelties in electromedicine equipment, new architectural projects and especially everything related to the role of hospital engineering in the Covid-19 pandemic.
In Etkho we have summarized the main points that were discussed and the conclusions that were reached in this congress.
This edition of the ARAB HEALTH 2020, will take place from January 27 to 30, at the Dubai World Trade Center and the Conrad Dubai Hotel, and will participate more than 4,250 companies from more than 64 countries.
ETKHO will be present to show the latest technologies, products and services in electrical safety for hospital facilities. This edition is the first one in which it will be participating.
