Inside the Brain
Children who have
speech-impairing strokes
often learn to talk again,
while adult stroke victims
can lose their verbal
abilities for good. By
giving reading and verbal
tests inside the MRI,

Shedding Light on Bladder Cancer
Some bladder cancer tumors
are so small, surgeons can't
see them. Urologist Edward
Messing is using a new
liquid dye that reacts to
light to help him see all
the small bladder tumors

Stroke Stopper
A new "wingspan" stent helps
restore blood flow for
patients with intracranial
atherosclerotic disease, or
ICAD. Surgeons insert the
stent up the leg arteries,
guide it to the brain, then
let its wire mesh expand,

New Hope For Stroke Survivors
Using a technology called
haptics, mechanical
engineers can design
physical therapies that
reestablish motor pathways
broken down by strokes. A
motorized joystick guides

Pulmonologists Invent Device To Help Intensive Care Patients Walk Safely
Pulmonologists and biomedical engineers designed a device to enable patients on life support to leave their beds and walk upright as part of the recovery process. The device is essentially a walker ... > more -
Doctors and Engineers Develop Virtual-Reality Recovery for Stroke Victims
Stroke survivors can often recover the use of a paralyzed arm, but it's a slow process. This could become easier with a new system made of a robotic arm and virtual reality software. The robot ... > more -
Cardiologists Employ Biomedical Engineering to Safeguard Heart Patients
To prevent strokes in at-risk patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm, researchers have devised a mechanical alternative to common drug treatments. In the procedure, ... > more -
Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
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 can determine the ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
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 deposits of ... > more -
Cardiothoracic Surgeons Develop New Treatment for Fibrillation
Researchers have developed a method to quiet atrial fibrillations without having to perform open-heart surgery. In a technique called Mini-Maze, doctors insert a bi-polar-radio-frequency clamp on the ... > more -
Physical Therapists Use A Split-belt Treadmill To Help Stroke Patients Walk More Easily
Physical therapists used motion detector cameras to analyze how patients move on a specially designed split-belt treadmill--the belt is divided to move together or at independent speeds. When the ... > more -
Linguists Work With Medical Students To Help Them Relate To Spanish-speaking Patients
A unique program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is helping health care professionals understand and treat patients better by teaching them how to communicate with patients who ... > more -
Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more
