A novel electronic sensor array for more rapid, accurate and cost-efficient testing of DNA for disease diagnosis and biological research has been developed by scientists at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN). view more (2009-08-27)
Night blindness may explain fear of the dark
Fear of the dark is a common complaint in children and is often attributed to attention seeking behaviour. Yet researchers in this week's BMJ suggest that it may be due to night blindness - a diagnosis which can be easily missed.

Reflection makes Skin Cancer Diagnosis easier
A new way of detecting skin cancers using light reflected from pigmented skin lesions is described this week in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust studied the spectra of light reflected from skin lesions. As benign and malignant... view more... (2000-02-18)
New data demonstrate potential for early detection of Alzheimer's disease
Data published in the June issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease demonstrated that minimally-invasive biospectroscopy was able to identify changes in oxidative stress (OS) levels in blood plasma, which may prove to be a useful biomarker in the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-06-17)
Urban kids with asthma need more frequent check-ups, Hopkins study suggests
Because even mild asthma among young inner-city children appears to be more unpredictable than ever, four or more check-ups a year after diagnosis is a wise move as a hedge against dangerous flare-ups of wheezing and trips to the emergency room. view more (2007-11-05)
Medical management of another condition may not lead to early cancer diagnosis
