Biomedical Engineers Combat Congestive Heart Failure With Aquapheresis
Biomedical engineers designed a machine that removes the excess sodium and water from blood. If not removed, those items can compromise breathing and heart function. An intravenous catheter withdraws ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Design System To Retrain Motor Pathways After Strokes
Using a technology called haptics, mechanical engineers can design physical therapies that reestablish motor pathways broken down by strokes. A motorized joystick guides patients to move their hands ... > 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 -
Industrial Hygienists Reveal Dangers Of Mold
Microbiologists studying mold found that it can grow on almost any building material and in almost any environment. Even before becoming visible, mold can be dangerous because it releases chemicals ... > more -
Cardiologists Develop Method To Analyze Risk Of Death After An Aortic Aneurysm
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 clotting has ... > more -
Physiologists Create Undergarment To Measure Vital Signs Of Firefighters
Industrial hygienists designed a flexible undergarment to take accurate readings of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. They monitor these indicators to protect ... > more -
Cardiac Electrophysiologists Make MRIs Safe For People With Pacemakers
Biomedical Engineers found a way to prevent pacemakers from confusing the signals sent out by MRI machines with an actual heart emergency. Decreasing the strength of the electromagnetic field helps, ... > more -
Dermatologists Discover Sun Protection Under The Sea
Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in ... > more -
Marine Biotechnologists Treat Cancer With Mud-loving Ocean Bacteria
Biomedicine scientists identified and sequenced the genes of a bacteria called Salinispora tropica. It produces anti-cancer compounds and can be found in ocean sediments off the Bahamas. A product ... > more -
Engineers Measure Blood Alcohol Content With Spectroscopy
Using optical technology, engineers created a way to measure the amount of alcohol in a driver’s skin. They use near-infrared absorption spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol content. The light ... > more
