More Weight Equals Longer Hospital Stays
Sociologists found a direct
relationship between obesity
and duration and frequency
of hospital stays.
Researchers found that, on
average, obese persons
stayed one and a half days

Pill To Fight Alcoholism
Neuropharmacologists ran
clinical trials to find that
a drug called topiramate is
an effective therapeutic
medication for decreasing
heavy drinking and
diminishing the physical and

New Test For Chronic Cough
Pulmonologists have found
that a diagnostic test for
asthma--the exhaled nitric
oxide test is a quick and
easy way to determine
whether inhaled
corticosteroids (medications

Saving Eyes
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 starves

Operations Researchers Create Computer Program To Track Immunizations
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 birthday and prior ... > more -
Biologists Develop Machine To Remove Viruses From 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 filters. The machine ... > more -
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 -
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 -
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 -
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
