Detecting Alzheimer's Early
Building upon a recent
discovery that the same
Alzheimer's disease process
that goes on in the brain
also occurs in the eye,
researchers have developed a
pair of optical tests that

Diagnosing Alzheimer's Early
A new brain-imaging method
allows physicians to
diagnose Alzheimer's before
its onset. A radioactive dye
is injected in the blood and
travels to the brain, where
it attaches to plaque

Predicting Alzheimer's
Using new computer software
that analyzes EEG data,
psychiatrists can now better
distinguish early signs of
Alzheimer's from normal
aging, by spotting marked
differences between the left
and right sides of the

Neurologists Use New Brain Scanning Device To Better Control Seizures
Doctors are now using a new kind of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures brain activity in real time. In some cases, MEG can pinpoint the source of an epileptic seizure much ... > more -
Cancer Biologists Develop More Accurate Blood Test for Prostate Cancer
A new blood test is more reliable at finding prostate cancer in its early stages by detecting a protein marker in blood plasma. Doctors say the new test, now in clinical trials, will have an accuracy ... > more -
Infectious Disease Specialists Design New Rapid Flu Test
New flu tests can diagnose the flu in as little as 30 minutes, to cut down on needless antibiotic use, which can build up resistance and make some infections untreatable by current ... > more -
Ergonomists Find Kids Too Are at Risk From Repetitive Strain Injuries
Ergonomists say that, even in teens, poor body posture and incorrect positioning of the keyboard, screen, and mouse are contributing to the risk of contracting neck and back pains and even carpal ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more
