Insulin Independence
Some diabetes patients who
cannot live without insulin
injections now have a new
option: a transplant of
islet cells, which produce
insulin in the body. Drawing
upon advances in cell
biology and endocrinology,

Detecting Diabetes With Light
Endocrinologists, engineers,
and microbiologists worked
together to create a new
testing method for diabetes.
It projects light into the
skin in order to measure the
presence of advanced

Cell Phones Manage Diabetes
Doctors provide
Internet-enabled cell phones
to diabetic patients in
order to improve their
health. Patients enter their
blood sugar levels, food
intake, physical activity

Diabetes Discovery
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 one or two

Carb-cutting Enzyme Stopped By Bean Extract, Endocrinologists Say
UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally acts like scissors, literally cutting ... > more -
Physiologists And Microbiologists Find Link Between Sitting And Poor Health
Physiologists analyzing obesity, heart disease, and diabetes found that the act of sitting shuts down the circulation of a fat-absorbing enzyme called lipase. They found that standing up engages ... > more -
Sociologists Weigh In On Obesity Increasing The Length Of Hospital Stays
Sociologists found a direct relationship between obesity and duration and frequency of hospital stays. Researchers found that, on average, obese persons stayed one and a half days longer than those ... > 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 -

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 -
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 -
Pediatric Cardiologists Show Hormone Therapy Reduces Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Studying childhood cancer patients who have suffered tissue and organ damage from chemotherapy treatments, researchers have found that growth hormones can reverse damage to the heart. Before the ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers use Fluorescence Spectroscopy Inside Coronary Arteries
So-called vulnerable plaque is the most dangerous type of build-up in the coronary arteries. A new technique, called laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, uses fiber optics to determine what kind ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers Improve Dental Imaging And Care
Biomedical engineers used advanced cone beam imaging technology take a series of two dimensional x-rays, which enabled them to create a detailed three dimensional picture of the patient’s ... > more -
Pulmonologists Find A Diagnostic Test For Asthma Also Useful For Identifying Treatment For Chronic Cough
Pulmonologists have found that a diagnostic test for asthma--the exhaled nitric oxide test is a quick and easy way to determine whether inhaled corticosteroids (medications that reduce irritation and ... > more
