New imaging technique could promote early detection of multiple sclerosis
Researchers from Purdue University have studied and recorded how myelin degrades real-time in live mice using a new imaging technique. 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 sclerosis, the myelin sheath has been found to degrade. view more (2007-06-28)
Artemis assists emergency services to fight Portuguese fires
Fire fighters tackling the blazes that have ravaged Portugal are doing so with the aid of a satellite data-link. For the first time, ESA's satellite Artemis has been used to support an emergency request under the International Charter on "Space and Major Disasters". Portugal's civil protection unit (SNPC) was able to receive... view more... (2003-08-20)
Glass tables: an overlooked safety threat
Many households harbor a threat to young children that safety regulations, surprisingly, have overlooked: glass-topped tables and tables with glass panels. A review by Children's Hospital Boston, in collaboration with Consumers Union, nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, finds that glass-table injuries aren't as rare as one might think, and... view more...

New Non-Invasive Method In Lung Diagnostics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic method has been evolving into an attractive alternative to methods which are associated with radiation exposure. This development now also starts to manifest itself in lung perfusion imaging. This was reported by Dr. Christian Fink and colleagues of the Radiology Division of the... view more... (2004-06-24)
An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma
A researcher at the University of Navarra, Borja Sáez Ochoa, has proposed a new genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma (MM), a type of bone marrow cancer, which permits the detection of this disease in earlier stages. view more (2006-09-12)
ENT doctors release national guideline on treatment for common cause of dizziness

MDCT eliminates need for catheter angiography for aortic injury diagnosis, saving time and lives
Contrast-enhanced 64-MDCT that definitively reveals acute trauma to the aorta does not need confirmation from invasive catheter angiography, which saves valuable time in treating patients in trauma centers. view more (2007-05-07)
Automated analysis of MR images may identify early Alzheimer's disease
Analyzing MRI studies of the brain with software developed at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) may allow diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and of mild cognitive impairment, a lesser form of dementia that precedes the development of Alzheimer's by several years. view more (2009-05-22)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)

Explosion in numbers of advice calls to hospital since introduction of NHS Direct
Since the introduction of NHS Direct, incoming calls to one accident and emergency medicine (A&E) department have fallen by over 70 per cent, reports a study in Emergency Medicine Journal. But by the same token, the number of calls for medical advice received by the hospital switchboard soared by over 300 per cent. A second study in the same area... view more... (2001-06-29)
New research to examine crowd panic in emergencies
Research at the University of Sussex into crowd behaviour in emergencies such as nightclub fires and stadium accidents has won grant funding worth more than £180,000. Psychologist Dr John Drury will examine how crowds react during emergency evacuations. The study has proved timely in the light of a series of recent tragedies, most notably in... view more...
