Drug Eluting Nanostructured Coatings Enable Targeted Drug Therapy for Patients with Orthopedic Implants

In a paper presented at the NSTI Nanotech 2007 Conference, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco demonstrate how they have created…

NMR advance relies on microscopic detector

Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of…

Novel catheter technique successfully patches holes in the heart

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…

New imaging techniques avoid unnecessary diagnostic tests for Klippel-Trénaunay vascular malformation

The reason for these advantages lies in the fact that both imaging techniques enable an overall evaluation of the Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome. More…

High intracoronary attenuation improves accuracy of 64-slice CT-CA

For the study, 170 patients with suspected coronary artery disease underwent CT-CA. The average vascular attenuation measured in the aortic root and in…

CT better than plain radiographs in diagnosing lumbar spine fractures

The study consisted of 932 patients who underwent plain radiographs and abdomen and pelvis CT within three days of an injury. These patients were divided into…
