Biologists Develop Machine To Remove Viruses From Blood
Infectious disease experts designed a machine called the hemopurifier. It works much like a dialysis machine, using thin fibers to capture and remove viruses from the blood it filters. The machine ... > more -
Vascular Surgeons Use Vibrating Catheter To Rid Arteries Of Pad-causing Plaque
Vascular surgeons can address peripheral artery disease by dissolving blood-blocking plaque concentrations with a vibrating catheter. Inserting the catheter into the blocked artery allows it to be ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Design System To Retrain Motor Pathways After Strokes
Using a technology called haptics, mechanical engineers can design physical therapies that reestablish motor pathways broken down by strokes. A motorized joystick guides patients to move their hands ... > more -
Industrial Hygienists Create Instant Test To Identify Traces Of Crystal Methamphetamine
Industrial hygienists developed a quick swab test to identify dangerous residue of toxic chemicals left behind in the creation of homemade methamphetamine. This test works like a pregnancy test. ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Test For Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Electrical engineers use multiple wavelengths of light to see through the skin in order to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood. This approach enables first responders and doctors to ... > more -
Industrial Hygienists Reveal Dangers Of Mold
Microbiologists studying mold found that it can grow on almost any building material and in almost any environment. Even before becoming visible, mold can be dangerous because it releases chemicals ... > more -
Cardiologists Develop Method To Analyze Risk Of Death After An Aortic Aneurysm
Cardiologists found that an aortic tear poses the highest risk to patients if the false channel it creates clots partially. Their study showed that CT and MRI images show how much clotting has ... > more -
Physiologists Create Undergarment To Measure Vital Signs Of Firefighters
Industrial hygienists designed a flexible undergarment to take accurate readings of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. They monitor these indicators to protect ... > more -
Ergonomists Design More Customizable Office Chair
Ergonomists created a chair that allows users to adjust the lumbar supports asymmetrically, addressing what they found in research. Over 70 percent of those tested wanted asymmetrical support in the ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Use Optics To Detect Early Stages Of Colon Cancer
Biomedical engineers have developed a new technique to detect colon cancer. A thin optical fiber shines light onto the interior of the colon. Computer analysis of the backscattered light indicates if ... > more
