Lowering Blood Pressure: Drug Free
A new cell phone-sized
implant can keep blood
pressure in check from
within the chest, just like
a pacemaker controls
heartbeats. When the device
detects a rise in pressure,

Better Treatment For Torn Aortas
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

Inside the Preemie Brain
Designed by a team of
doctors, nurses, and
engineers, a specially
designed incubator allows
premature babies to receive
MRI scans to assess their
health. The scans can

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

Pressure Sensors and Transducers Help Make Dummies More Life-Like
Electrical, computer, and biological engineering combine in creating baby-patient simulators for training new pediatricians. A new simulator incorporates microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) and ... > more -
Orthodontists Diagnose Sleep Apnea More Easily with X-Rays
Diagnosing sleep apnea -- a chronic condition that causes teen-agers to stop breathing during sleep -- is difficult and often means staying at an overnight sleep lab. A new test can spot with problem ... > 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 -
Cancer Biologists Develop More Accurate Blood Test for Prostate Cancer
A new blood test is more reliable at finding prostate cancer in its early stages by detecting a protein marker in blood plasma. Doctors say the new test, now in clinical trials, will have an accuracy ... > more -
Cardiologists Discover New Enzime that Predicts Risk of Heart Attack
MPO, or myeloperoxidase,is an enzyme produced by white blood cells. High levels of MPO predict a heart attack, the need for invasive intervention, or cardiac death within the next six months with ... > more -
CT Scans of Legs May Help Prevent Recurring Pulmonary Embolisms
Pulmonary embolisms kill 60,000 people every year. Often, the clots form in the legs, break free and travel to the lungs, where they can cause sudden death. CAT scans can identify these clots in the ... > more -
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising ... > more -
Doctors Combine Cell Biology, Endocrinology to Eliminate Insulin Implants
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 ... > more -
Otolaryngologists Use New Gel to Reduce Bleeding and Pain
Recovering from sinus surgery is notoriously painful and uncomfortable -- especially when doctors need to remove a packing they placed inside the sinus cavity during the procedure to reduce bleeding. ... > more
