Study offers new clues to brain-stomach interaction in overeating
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found new clues to how the brain and the stomach interact with emotions to cause overeating and obesity. view more (2006-10-03)
Improved Spin Transistor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University’s Physics Department have developed an improved version of the “spin transistor,” a device which has the principle operating characteristics of a conventional transistor but with the added benefit of a current output dependent on the strength of the external magnetic field. This exciting new... view more... (2002-08-15)
NYU chemists create 'nanorobotic' arm to operate within DNA sequence
New York University chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman and his graduate student Baoquan Ding have developed a DNA cassette through which a nanomechanical device can be inserted and function within a DNA array, allowing for the motion of a nanorobotic arm. view more (2006-12-08)
Nerve stimulation therapy alleviates pain for chronic headache
A novel therapy using a miniature nerve stimulator instead of medication for the treatment of profoundly disabling headache disorders improved the experience of pain by 80-95 percent, according to a new study from the University of California, San Francisco and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. view more (2008-10-10)
NYC first: Complex aneurysm treated using new fenestrated endograft stent
In a New York City metro-area first, a 93-year-old Bronx man underwent implantation of a new stent graft at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the only center on the Eastern Seaboard with access to this investigational device. view more (2008-07-08)
Pregnancy is possible after cancer treatment
It has been reported for the first time in Germany that healthy ovarian tissue has been taken from a non-pregnant woman with cancer and then re-implanted after cancer therapy. view more (2008-04-24)
Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. view more (2007-08-03)
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)
Technology May Cool The Laptop
Does your laptop sometimes get so hot that it can almost be used to fry eggs? view more (2009-10-30)
OptiNose presents data on highly effective migraine treatment
OptiNose announced today that it presented important new data demonstrating the superior performance of its novel nasal drug delivery device with sumatriptan for the treatment of migraines. view more (2008-06-30)
Mayo Clinic study shows people with heart devices can 'digest' advanced diagnostic technology safely
A new Mayo Clinic study suggests that video capsule endoscopy (CE), a procedure that uses wireless technology in diagnosing intestinal disease, is safe for patients with heart devices. view more (2009-10-27)
Making thick Ketchup
Specialists of the Moscow company "IZOBRETATEL" ("Inventor") have designed and patented a new device - the consistence express analyzer. The designers do not assert that their device will cause a revolution in science. They do not even state that they have developed a device for scientific research. However, this simple device... view more... (2003-07-18)
New biomedical device uses nanotechnology to monitor hip implant healing, may reduce wait times
It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. view more (2006-10-18)
Artificial intelligence helps diagnose cardiac infections
Mayo Clinic researchers say that "teachable software" designed to mimic the human brain may help them diagnose cardiac infections without an invasive exam. view more (2009-09-14)
Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage. view more (2007-06-11)
Gold beads show previously unseen parts of the eye
A new study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), shows that gold beads injected into eye tissue can be used to obtain images of important structures in the orbit that cannot be seen with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or other imaging... view more...

Computer vision for the blind
The white cane used by the blind as a travel aid may be universal, but it is not always adequate when it comes to pedestrian crossings. Although some crossings make a sound when it is safe to cross, many do not, and it is at these crossings that the blind need to know when the green man is showing. Adaptations of the white cane have been made,... view more... (2002-08-15)
Study looks at off-label use of biliary stents
Although approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a palliative treatment for cancer patients who have developed bile-duct obstructions, biliary stents are sometimes used "off-label" for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). view more (2008-01-21)
Laser treatment
Researchers in Russia have used laser treatment to cure male sexual dysfunction. The Institute of Physics magazine - Opto & Laser Europe - reports this week that after treatment with a device developed by Ekaterina Koultchavenia of the Novosibirsk Research Institute, all 24 male patients in the trial re-gained the ability to have spontaneous... view more...
