Keeping Vaccinations On Track
Engineers used mathematical
modeling as the basis of a
computer program designed to
track and schedule
immunizations for infants.
The web-based program asks
for a childýs

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

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

Vaccine For Ear Infections
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

Microbiologists Discover Reason Why The Flu Virus Thrives In Winter
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 coughs and ... > more -
Ergonomists Find Kids Too Are at Risk From Repetitive Strain Injuries
Ergonomists say that, even in teens, poor body posture and incorrect positioning of the keyboard, screen, and mouse are contributing to the risk of contracting neck and back pains and even carpal ... > more -
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 -
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 -
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 -
Engineers Devise Implantable Dosimeter to Track Success of Radiation Therapy
Radiologists could soon measure the amount of radiation exposure experienced by different tissues using an implantable capsule. The device contains a small dosimeter and sends radiation exposure data ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers Improve Dental Imaging And Care
Biomedical engineers used advanced cone beam imaging technology take a series of two dimensional x-rays, which enabled them to create a detailed three dimensional picture of the patient’s ... > more -
Medical Physicists Improve Vision for Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy requires visualizing exactly where a tumor is located, usually from looking at hundreds of different X-ray , CT or PET scan images. A new system patches together 2D images into one ... > more -
Gastroenterologists Use Hi-Res Narrow-Band Imaging to Find Cancer
Gastroenterologists Use Hi-Res Narrow-Band Imaging To Find Cancer New optical technologies are helping gastroenterologists improve cancer detection using colonoscopy. A new endoscope uses HDTV ... > more -
With New Antibiotics, Pediatricians Fight Proxy War on Bugs
Strep throat has become harder to fight using penicillin or amoxicillin, but that's not because the Streptococci have developed a resistance to those drugs. Instead, more than 50 percent of children ... > more
