No More Dialysis
A nephrologist has found
that a specialized type of
anti-rejection therapy using
intravenous immunoglobulin
can make kidney transplants
possible for patients with
high 'anti-donor'
antibodies. 25 to 30 percent

Kidney Exchange
Computer Scientists have
created an algorithm able to
sort through up to 10,000
kidney donor/patient pairs,
taking over the mammoth task
of coordinating paired
donation. The new algorithm
was needed to make the

Better Body Images In 3D
With MRI or CT scans,
clinicians have to identify
and extract the anatomy out
of cross-sections views of
the body. Computer
scientists have created a
new interactive tool that

Safer Scans for Pregnant Women
New studies by radiologists
have shown that MRI can be
just as accurate as CT scans
at helping radiologists
diagnose pathologies such as
cancer, cysts and kidney
stones -- while carrying

Immune Modulation Therapy Attacks Link Between Inflammation and Congestive Heart Failure
Inflammations that occur after a heart attack can be a severe complication that further damages the heart. Cardiologists are now trying a new approach called immune modulation therapy, which exposes ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
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 deposits of ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Diagnose Chronic Heartburn More Effectively
Gastroenterologists are using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) to more effectively diagnose chronic heartburn. The technology gives doctors an image of the esophagus that is magnified 1,000 ... > 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 -
