A new experimental surgical procedure is helping cancer survivors give birth, with the recent birth of a baby boy in Switzerland marking a significant milestone. The procedure, which involves temporarily moving the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes during cancer treatment, has now resulted in five successful births, including the first in Europe, according to MIT Technology Review.
The surgery is designed to protect the reproductive organs from the damaging side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, which can often impair the uterus and ovaries. Surgeons "simply stitch those organs out of the way during cancer treatment," according to MIT Technology Review. Once the treatment is complete, the organs are repositioned.
The latest success story involves Baby Lucien, born last week in Switzerland. Daniela Huber, the gyno-oncologist who performed the operation, stated that Lucien was the fifth baby born after the procedure.
In other technology news, consumers looking to streamline their charging needs can now consider 3-in-1 wireless charging stations. These stations, which can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, are becoming increasingly popular. Wired highlighted several options, including the Belkin 3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand, the Nomad Stand One Max, the Spigen Arcfield 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, and the ESR Qi2 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station.
Additionally, the best OLED TVs continue to provide the pinnacle of picture quality, according to Wired. Display manufacturers like LG and Samsung are pushing OLED beyond expectations for brighter highlights and richer colors.
Finally, businesses are looking for ways to consolidate their technology systems. As companies have adopted cloud services, mobile apps, and IoT systems, IT teams have had to connect them, leading to a "tangled web" of solutions, according to MIT Technology Review. This has led to a need for more integrated platforms.
