Studies highlight little known, but potentially serious, manifestations of acid reflux
Many people may not realize that symptoms such as chronic cough or chest pain can be caused by acid reflux into the esophagus, because they do not experience classic heartburn symptoms or acid regurgitation. view more (2007-10-15)
Mapping tool allows emergency management personnel to visually track resources
Tracking the location and availability of resources such as hospitals, transportation equipment and water during an emergency situation can be life-saving. view more (2008-01-16)
Most would refuse emergency use H1N1 vaccine or additive
A majority of Americans would not take an H1N1 flu vaccine or drug additive authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration, according to a University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and University of Georgia study. view more (2009-09-30)
Routine screenings uncover hidden carbon monoxide poisoning
Screening all emergency room patients for carbon monoxide poisoning is a simple yet potentially life-saving practice that can be done even in a high-volume urban hospital, according to new research by emergency physicians at Rhode Island Hospital. view more (2008-02-14)
UT Southwestern-led study finds doctors' judgment as important as guideline for Cesarean sections
U.S. hospitals have long been required to be able to start emergency Cesarean sections within 30 minutes, but neither compliance with this "decision-to-incision" time nor the associated rate of complications have ever been clinically measured. view more (2006-06-30)
New hybrid virus provides targeted molecular imaging of cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have created a new class of hybrid virus and demonstrated its ability to find, highlight, and deliver genes to tumors in mice. view more (2006-04-24)
Surgeons' unanimous consensus: Needle biopsy is gold standard for breast cancer diagnosis
A special report published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons indicates that an alarming 35% of initial diagnostic breast biopsies in the United States are still being done using unnecessary open surgical techniques. view more (2009-10-07)
Advances in breast imaging
A diagnostic device that resembles a mammography unit can detect breast tumors as tiny as one-fifth of an inch in diameter, which may make it a valuable complementary imaging technique to mammography. view more (2006-12-18)
Burning oil cloud above northern Iraq
A burning oil pipeline in northern Iraq produced an immense cloud of black smoke that stretched across thousands of square kilometres, in this image acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. The smoke cloud is visible in the centre of this image of the alluvial plain occupied by the valley of the river Tigris (flowing from... view more... (2003-09-12)
Computed tomography provides anatomy -- we need ischemia!
Cardiac computed tomography has revolutionized cardiac imaging in recent years by providing exquisitely detailed cardiac anatomy, including, but not limited to, coronary anatomy. view more (2008-09-02)
Nightmares predict elevated suicidal symptoms
Self-reported nightmares among patients seeking emergency psychiatric evaluation uniquely predicted elevated suicidal symptoms. view more (2009-06-09)
Mayo Clinic researchers use ultrasound to describe subtle heart muscle motions
By using sound waves Mayo Clinic researchers have described subtle changes in the motion of the heart that are measurable by ultrasound and may improve understanding of heart function, and possibly be a noninvasive aid in predicting impending heart damage including heart attacks. view more (2005-08-01)
MRI rules out acute appendicitis in pregnancy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help rule out acute appendicitis in pregnancy when ultrasound findings are inconclusive, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology. view more (2006-02-28)
Emergency physician judgment on chest pain patients syncs with their outcomes
Emergency physicians should trust their judgment when evaluating patients who report with chest pain symptoms, said a group of researchers led by Abhinav Chandra, M.D., at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-08-05)
Liver diagnosis breakthrough with Mayo Clinic MRI development
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new technique for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately measure the hardness or elasticity of the liver. First tests show this technology - called MR Elastography (MRE) - holds great promise for detecting liver fibrosis, a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated... view more...

Functional MRI enables noninvasive evaluation of epilepsy patients
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain reduces the need for invasive testing of seizure disorder patients being considered for surgical treatment, according to a study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2005-06-28)
Sledging is more dangerous than children (or parents) think
Sledging is more dangerous than children or parents think, suggests a small study in Emergency Medicine Journal. But a few simple precautions could ensure that children are adequately protected so that they can continue to enjoy the activity, this winter, say the authors. They base their remarks on the numbers of children requiring emergency care... view more... (2003-11-18)
Gene that magnetically labels cells shows potential as imaging tool
Mammalian cells can produce tiny magnetic nuggets after the introduction of a single gene from bacteria, scientists have found. The gene MagA could become a valuable tool for tracking cells' movement through the body via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), says Xiaoping Hu, PhD, professor of biomedical engineering at Emory University and the Georgia... view more...

Study casts doubt on value of emergency breathing procedure
For more than 20 years, paramedics in Britain have performed emergency intubation (passing a breathing tube into the windpipe to deliver oxygen to the lungs of trauma patients) without using anaesthesia. Yet a study in this week's BMJ finds that less than one per cent of these patients survive, casting serious doubt on the value of this practice.... view more... (2001-07-18)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...
