Diagnosing Alzheimer's Early
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

Pain-Free Computers for Kids
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

Shedding Light On Colon Cancer
Biomedical engineers have
developed a new technique to
detect colon cancer. A thin
optical fiber shines light
onto the interior of the
colon. Computer analysis of
the backscattered light

Detecting Prostate Cancer Earlier
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

Electrical Engineers And Medical Technologists Create Easier Way To Diagnose Diabetes
Endocrinologists, engineers, and microbiologists worked together to create a new testing method for diabetes. It projects light into the skin in order to measure the presence of advanced glycation ... > 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 -
Urologists Use Optics, Chemistry to Catch Small Tumors
Some bladder cancer tumors are so small, surgeons can't see them. Urologist Edward Messing is using a new liquid dye that reacts to light to help him see all the small bladder tumors that might have ... > more -

MRI Can Replace CT Scans, Reducing Cancer Risks
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 less risk, ... > 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 -
Pediatric Cardiologists Show Hormone Therapy Reduces Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Studying childhood cancer patients who have suffered tissue and organ damage from chemotherapy treatments, researchers have found that growth hormones can reverse damage to the heart. Before the ... > more -
Orthopedic Oncologists Give Children Artificial Bones That Can Grow With Patient
A new kind of expandable bone prosthesis -- implanted in the legs of pediatric patients to substitute bone that was removed due to cancer -- is helping children avoid amputations and lead a normal ... > more -
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising ... > more -
Chromosomal Test By Molecular Biologists Determines Cancer Spread
A new biopsy test, created by molecular biologists, can tell ocular melanoma patients if theirs is the kind that will spread. Using very thin needles, surgeons collect cells from tumors and analyze ... > more -
Environmental Toxicologists Link Household Bacteria to Asthma
Scientists have found that chemicals called endotoxins can inflame airways and trigger asthma. Endotoxins are shed by bacteria in household dust. Experts say better home hygiene, washing bed linens ... > more
