Safer MRI Scans For Heart Patients
Biomedical Engineers found a
way to prevent pacemakers
from confusing the signals
sent out by MRI machines
with an actual heart
emergency. Decreasing the
strength of the

Tired Teens
Diagnosing sleep apnea -- a
chronic condition that
causes teen-agers to stop
breathing during sleep -- is
difficult and often means
staying at an overnight
sleep lab. A new test can
spot with problem with

Psychiatrists Can Now Predict An Individual Patient's Response To A Drug
The first in a new generation of gene microarrays, computer chips that chemically or electrically express DNA, can predict how a person's body will metabolize about 25 percent of drugs on the market, ... > more -
Computer Scientists Make Laser Eye Operation Simpler
A new technique called Patterned Scanning Laser uses a computer instead of a human to apply laser pulses to burn away abnormal blood vessels. Instead of manually operating the laser, the pattern of ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Diagnose Chronic Heartburn More Effectively
Gastroenterologists are using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) to more effectively diagnose chronic heartburn. The technology gives doctors an image of the esophagus that is magnified 1,000 ... > more -

Pulmonologists Extend Lung-Transplant Patients' Lives with Inhaled Anti-Rejection Drug
Half of all lung transplant patients don't live past the fifth year after the procedure, due in part to chronic rejection of the new organs. A new, inhaled form of a commonly used anti-rejection drug ... > more -
CT Scans of Legs May Help Prevent Recurring Pulmonary Embolisms
Pulmonary embolisms kill 60,000 people every year. Often, the clots form in the legs, break free and travel to the lungs, where they can cause sudden death. CAT scans can identify these clots in the ... > more
