Research published in the academic journal, Chemical Communications, reveals that this new compound could be used in a ‘chemically-sensitive MRI scan’ to help…
Engineers at the University of Bath have developed a diagnostic test which measures the frequency of sound produced when the femur bone in the leg is vibrated.The new method is much more sensitive than the traditional method of using x-rays to detect the loosening of implants, and so can diagnose much smaller gaps around the implanted joint….
Myelin is the fatty sheath coating the axons, or nerve cells, that insulate and aid in efficient nerve fiber conduction. In diseases such as multiple…
The advance was possible, researchers say, because their years of research into the disease showed that these tumors do not affect the cochlear nerve necessary…
But both the Article and an accompanying Comment warn longer term follow-up of the patients fitted with biodegradable stents is needed.Coronary stents improve…
MDCT is comparable to conventional autopsy in demonstrating airway froth and sediment that are indicative of drowning.”Our findings show that MDCT can be used…
The team involving Professors Jim McLaughlin, John Anderson and Paul Maguire are based at the Northern Ireland Bio-Engineering Centre (NIBEC) on the…
Preventative medicine and technology are some of the great benefits in this ever-changing age of health care technology. Operations that once required major…
The liver responds to many diseases that damage its cells by developing scar tissue or fibrosis. MRE uses a modified form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…
In a paper presented at the NSTI Nanotech 2007 Conference, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco demonstrate how they have created…
Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of…
A novel catheter technique for patching holes in the heart may make it possible for many patients to avoid surgery altogether and others to regain enough…
The reason for these advantages lies in the fact that both imaging techniques enable an overall evaluation of the Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome. More…
