Medical progress in the 60s' (oral presentation)
Today I’m going to talk about medical progress in the 60s’.
Firstly, I’m going to talk about the pacemaker.
Fifty years after its creation it is still one of the most efficient and popular artificial organ of the world.
In 1950 (nineteen fitfy), throughout his research on hypotermia, a Canadian engineer, John Hopps, developed the artificial cardiac pacemaker
But the main problem of his prototype was that it had to stay plugged into an outlet.
In 1958 (nineteen fifty eight), the first stimulator conceived as an artificial organ, which means put inside a human body, was implanted in Sweden by the doctors Rune Elmqvist and Ake Senning.
Afterwards, the pacemaker has been improved thanks to the research on batteries led by Wilson Greatbatch, an American engineer.
After the pacemaker has been developed magnetic resonance imaging.
MRI provides images even more clear than the Backscatter X-ray that was developed the same year.
Therefore, it’s important to mention that the MRI has the advantage of not using X-rays, which eliminates the risk of irradiation.
Magnetic resonance had been discovered in the United States in 1946 by physicists Felix Bloch and Edward M. Purcell, but the development of this medical imaging technique did not begin until long after.
Today, MRI is mainly used for research in neuroscience (for the measurement of brain activity for instance), tumor detection and multiple sclerosis, as well as the examination of professional athletes’ joints.
And the last but not the least : Heart transplantation :
On December 3 1967 (December the third of nineteen sixty seven), a heart was removed from the chest of a human being to be transplanted into someone else's chest for the first time ever.
The operation was performed by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard, but the patient who received the heart of a girl survived only for eighteen days.
However, this event have paved the way for major advances in the fields of surgery and control of graft rejection.
Nowadays in France, there are about 350 (three hundred fifty) heart transplants a year.

[* You can write 60's or 60s.
Note that sentences which follow each other and belong to the same general idea should be in paragraphs (without a line break.) I have removed line breaks to create proper paragraphs in your text.]
