Acoustic Study Shows Safe Listening Levels
Loud, sustained sound can damage tiny hairs in the cochlea, and yet 80 percent of people listen to personal music devices at dangerous levels above background noise, a study by acousticians shows. ... > more -
Chromosomal Test By Molecular Biologists Determines Cancer Spread
A new biopsy test, created by molecular biologists, can tell ocular melanoma patients if theirs is the kind that will spread. Using very thin needles, surgeons collect cells from tumors and analyze ... > more -
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 -

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 -
Neurosurgeons Cut Surgical Procedure Time with New Device
In a method called deep brain stimulation, certain movement disorders are treated by implanting wires in the brain that deliver electrical signals. The surgical procedure can last up to eight hours, ... > more -
Environmental Toxicologists Link Household Bacteria to Asthma
Scientists have found that chemicals called endotoxins can inflame airways and trigger asthma. Endotoxins are shed by bacteria in household dust. Experts say better home hygiene, washing bed linens ... > more
