Diamonds are a urologist's best friend
Wafer-thin coatings from diamond-like carbon can prevent dangerous biofilms of bacteria from forming on indwelling catheters in the urinary tract. What is more, the coated catheters glide into the ureter with considerably less friction, to the delight of medical staff, and even more so to that of the patients, who experience the procedure as... view more...

Duke engineers developing ultrasound devices combining 3-D imaging with therapeutic heating
Duke University engineers are developing technology that may enable physicians to someday use high frequency ultrasound waves both to visualize the heart's interior in three dimensions and then selectively destroy heart tissue with heat to correct arrhythmias. view more (2005-11-07)
Abdominal chemo boosts survival in ovarian cancer patients
A 50-year-old method for delivering chemotherapy directly into the abdomen is making a comeback as investigators have found that it increases survival-by more than a year-in some women with advanced ovarian cancer. view more (2006-01-05)
In-vitro fertilization improved with 3-D/4-D-guided embryo transfer and new placement target
Beverly Hills, Calif. and Washington DC (ASRM Annual Meeting) - October 15, 2007 - The pregnancy rate for patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is improved when doctors use advanced 3D/4D imaging to guide the placement of embryos to the point where the endometrium is most receptive to implantation. view more (2007-10-17)
3D Technology Pinpoints Origins of Irregular Heart Beats, Improving Patient Treatment
The findings of a new study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology demonstrate that the use of high resolution imaging can greatly aid physicians who are treating patients suffering from a particular type of irregular heart beat. The study, conducted at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, provides insight... view more... (2004-06-11)
How about the feasibility of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided choledochoduodenostomy?
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biliary drainage for treatment of patients who have obstructive jaundice in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). view more (2008-11-03)
Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography
CT angiography (CTA) alone is an effective, noninvasive means to detect peripheral vascular disease. view more (2007-05-07)
Pairing medical therapy with coronary intervention fails to reduce heart disease deaths
Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) involve opening partially blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the heart. These procedures are performed more than 1 million times a year. view more (2007-03-27)
Routine Testing After Aneurysm Coiling Carries Low Risk
A very low risk of complication is associated with a routine test that determines whether a brain aneurysm treated with endovascular coiling has started to recur, a study led by the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute has shown. view more (2008-11-19)
Annual Report Targets Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States
A 30 percent increase in chronic kidney disease over the past decade has prompted the U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) to issue for the first time a separate report documenting the magnitude of the disease, which affects an estimated 27 million Americans and accounts for more than 24 percent of Medicare costs. view more (2008-10-09)
Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists
Rush University Medical Center is one of the first medical centers in the country, and currently the only site in Illinois, participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-02-02)
Radiological treatment method spares patients surgery and offers 89 percent cost savings
Pericardial effusion, the collection of fluid around the heart, typically occurs in patients following heart surgery and is usually treated using an invasive surgical drainage technique. view more (2009-09-21)
UW launches study testing adult stem cells for heart damage repair
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is among the first medical centers in the country taking part in a novel clinical trial investigating if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-03-13)
New reflux disease technology more comfortable, not more effective
A wireless device that measures the acidity of stomach contents backwashed into the esophagus allows patients to avoid some of the nose pain and throat discomfort associated with the conventional wired monitor used to manage hard-to-treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. view more (2006-07-11)
Penn medicine draws road map for elimination of central line-associated bloodstream infections
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) fell by more than 90 percent during the past three years at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania due to a multi-pronged approach combining leadership initiatives, electronic infection surveillance, checklists to guide line insertion and maintenance, and implementation of the Toyota... view more...

Endovascular coils beat neurosurgery for treating brain haemorrhage
Landmark international trial halted early as analysis reveals risk cut by a quarter A landmark clinical trial led by UK researchers has shown that patients who suffer a brain haemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm[1] have a significantly better chance of surviving without disability if they are treated through the blood vessels than if the aneurysm... view more...

Study Investigates Non-Surgical Placement of a Gore-tex Type Device in the Heart to Stop Recurrent Strokes and Mini-Strokes
A study is under way at Rush University Medical Center using a small, soft-patch device made of a Gore-tex-type material - often used to make durable outerwear - to close a common hole found in the heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in order to prevent recurrent strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in adults. view more (2008-11-19)
