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,

Next Generation Of Heart Stents
Interventional cardiologists
used magnetic particles to
accelerate the process of
healing after the placement
of a stent. To do this, they
extract cells from the
interior of a patient's

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

Orthopedic Surgeons Develop Monitoring System For Joint Replacement Surgery Patients
Surgeons provide recent joint replacement patients with transmitters to wirelessly send blood pressure, pulse/oxygen, and breathing data to staff. Alarms alert staff to potential problems when ... > more -
Ocular Oncologists Inject Drug Into Eye To Starve Tumors And Save Sight
Ocular oncologists adopted a drug originally intended to treat colon cancer as a treatment for cancers in the eye as well as macular degeneration. The drug reduces abnormal blood vessel growth, which ... > more -
Computer Scientists Make Laser Eye Operation Simpler
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 ... > more -
Vascular Surgeons Use Vibrating Catheter To Rid Arteries Of Pad-causing Plaque
Vascular surgeons can address peripheral artery disease by dissolving blood-blocking plaque concentrations with a vibrating catheter. Inserting the catheter into the blocked artery allows it to be ... > more -

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 -
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
