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

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

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

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
