EMG Helps Physiatrists Find Causes of Pain
Electromyography (EMG) detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells, and can test nerve function. EMG can help physiatrists pin down the cause of back pain in cases such as spinal ... > more -
Pressure Sensors and Transducers Help Make Dummies More Life-Like
Electrical, computer, and biological engineering combine in creating baby-patient simulators for training new pediatricians. A new simulator incorporates microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) and ... > 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 -
Human-Factors Engineers Focus on User-Friendliness
Human-factors engineers -- whose training includes psychology -- specialize in testing products for usability, for example checking whether a copying machine's legs get in the way, or measuring how ... > more -

Psychiatrists Can Now Predict An Individual Patient's Response To A Drug
The first in a new generation of gene microarrays, computer chips that chemically or electrically express DNA, can predict how a person's body will metabolize about 25 percent of drugs on the market, ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers' 'Body-on-a-Chip' Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new ... > more -
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 -
