Latest in LASIK
Ophthalmologists have
developed new software that
analyzes the shape of the
patient's cornea during the
LASIK procedure and
automatically adjusts the
laser based on that cornea's
unique anomalies. The

Does Winter Cause The Flu?
Virologists investigating
transmission of the flu
virus found that it is more
likely to spread at colder
temperatures. The dry, cold
conditions pull moisture out
of droplets released by

Faster Flu Vaccine
Spraying viral genes
directly through the skin is
a new technique that turns
infinitesimal amounts of DNA
into an effective vaccine.
If approved for use in
humans, the new procedure
could save lives in case of

Cleaning Infected 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

Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -
Pediatricians Reduce Ear Infections By Vaccinating Children
Infectious disease experts have completed clinical trials on a vaccine designed to eliminate chronic ear infections. The vaccine works on 7 pneumococcal bacterial strains that cause ear infections. ... > more -
Infectious Disease Specialists Design New Rapid Flu Test
New flu tests can diagnose the flu in as little as 30 minutes, to cut down on needless antibiotic use, which can build up resistance and make some infections untreatable by current ... > more -

Pathologists Invent Easy Way To Diagnose MRSA
Infectious disease specialists have developed a way to quickly diagnose the very dangerous, antibiotic-resistant infection called MRSA. By dropping a cartridge in a device the technology makes ... > 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 -
Cardiologists Treat Leg Pain with Balloon Angioplasty
Doctors now use cold angioplasty to restore blood flow to the legs and relieve chronic leg pain. The procedure, where cold nitrous oxide inflates a balloon inside arteries to unclog them, is similar ... > 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 -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers' 'Body-on-a-Chip' Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new ... > more -
Physiologists Investigate The Role Of Perception In Motion Sickness
The cause of motion sickness is being investigated by a researcher with a new idea: that the cause is movement, not perceptual differences. A series of motion-sickness-inducing tests shows that those ... > more
