Sechenov University created the first olfactory test in Russia
Sechenov University created the first olfactory test in Russia. It allows you to evaluate the sense of smell in points and can be useful to otolaryngologists and neurologists.
The test includes 20 well-recognized scents: coffee, orange, garlic, mint, tangerine, onion, strawberry, lemon, apple, alcohol, fish, cut grass, chocolate, banana, rose, melon, cucumber, raspberry, vanilla and watermelon. It allows you to quantify the subjective sensations of patients and determine the level of smell on a 45-point scale. It is planned that its use will simplify the initial diagnosis, help track the recovery of the patient, and also make clinical studies more effective, since it will be possible to more accurately assess the effect of a particular drug on nasal function.

Surgeri introduced a new robot capable of performing precise and delicate operations without human intervention
Beijing Surgeii Robotics Company Limited, or SHURUI, is a technology company founded in 2016 by the industry elite working in the field of medical equipment in China. Relying on the core technology of a new generation of continuous flexible robotic arm, realizing the introduction paradigm of many types. Single-port surgical robots solve the fundamental difficulty of extremely complex operations during single-port laparoscopic procedures. According to many top surgeons, multiport surgical robots don't do what they can't. The benefit comes from improved ergonomics. But with single-port surgery, surgeons can use surgical robots to perform operations that were previously difficult to perform manually.” For example, in a single-port robotic laparoscopic procedure, only a 2.5 cm incision will be made in the patient's abdominal wall, and the robot can insert a high-resolution 3D electronic endoscope and three snake-like surgical instruments.
