Breakthrough for Kids with Epilepsy: Surgery Reduces Seizures and Increases IQ
A study on 50 preschool-aged children with epilepsy who underwent surgical treatment showed significant improvements on overall cognitive development and left many seizure-free. The article is published in the journal Epilepsia. view more (2005-04-22)
Looking at neurons from all sides
A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor College of Medicine scientists in a report that appears today in the journal Nature Neuroscience. view more (2008-04-28)
With double frequency to deeper blue
Light transports data at high speed over fibre-optic networks. Light measures and creates images of large and small objects in scanners and microscopes. Light writes information onto all sorts of recording media and surfaces. The best-quality light is produced by lasers, which have meanwhile become an indispensable tool - not only in medicine and... view more... (2003-07-01)
A precision metal-cutting tool for use in automated high volume manufacturing
Cutting high-thickness metal sheets is a basic manufacturing process common to a wide range of industrial sectors, from heavy carpentry to ship-building. Laser-cutting technology ought, in theory, to have significant advantages over traditional cutting processes, among them high cutting speed, no tool wear and a reduction in the transfer of energy... view more...

3-D Laser Scanning: A New Soil Quality Measurement
Soil researchers pay close attention to bulk density, as it is one of the most common soil measurements and it is often used as a measure of soil quality. view more (2008-12-04)
Sharper pictures for the dream factory
Computer-generated special effects are a staple of contemporary film production. Digital images introduce complications, however, once it comes to projecting them onto movie screens in high quality. The majority of projectors still work with standard 35 mm film, which means that digital image sequences must be transferred frame by frame onto... view more... (2002-11-14)
No Justification For Early Laser Treatment Of Uncomplicated Childhood Haemangiomas (pp 502, 521)
Early laser treatment of uncomplicated childhood haemangiomas (strawberry birthmarks) is no more beneficial than no intervention, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Childhood haemangiomas-the most common soft tissue tumours of infancy-occur in around 10% of children under one year of age. 90% of haemangiomas occur... view more... (2002-08-14)
Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells. view more (2006-03-14)
Abrupt withdrawal of drugs to prepare for surgery can be dangerous
(Editorial: The risks of interrupting drug treatment before surgery) Abruptly stopping drug treatments before surgery can be dangerous and increase the risk of postoperative complications, suggests an editorial in this week?s BMJ. Surgery, particularly major abdominal surgery, affects the rate at which stomach contents are emptied, so reducing... view more... (2000-09-19)
Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is known as a diffractive optical element-based sensor... view more...

Blood Poisoning Vaccine Ready for Human Trials
A combined British and US research team has developed the world's first vaccine against endotoxin, which is a key cause of blood poisoning and death after major surgery for cancer or heart disease. The announcement was made at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. "Most people make a... view more... (2003-04-02)
Inner workings of photosynthesis revealed by powerful new laser technique
Instant pictures showing how the sun's energy moves inside plants have been taken for the first time, according to research out today (Friday 6 February) in Physical Review Letters. view more (2009-02-06)
Complications in plastic surgery are unrelated to duration of anesthesia
The length of time patients spend under anesthesia during facial plastic surgery procedures does not appear to be linked to their risk of complications or death, Yale School of Medicine researchers report this month in Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery. view more (2006-01-24)
High-speed signal mixer demonstrates capabilities of transistor laser
Scientists at the University of Illinois have successfully demonstrated a microwave signal mixer made from a tunnel-junction transistor laser. Development of the device brings researchers a big step closer to higher speed electronics and higher performance electrical and optical integrated circuits. view more (2009-03-20)
Dramatic increase in annual rate of laparoscopic bariatric surgeries
The number of bariatric surgeries performed in the U.S. increased by 450 percent between 1998 and 2002, a growth the researchers say could be linked with use of the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. view more (2005-12-20)
Magic pool table
EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 30 OCTOBER 2002 19:00 GMT UK CONTACT - Claire Bowles, New Scientist Press Office, London: Tel: +44(0)20 7331 2751 or email claire.bowles@rbi.co.uk IF YOU play pool, you`ll probably be familiar with that sinking feeling you get when you miss a pot, despite believing you`d lined up the perfect shot. But all that could... view more... (2002-10-30)
Delay in surgery decreases survival for bladder cancer patients
Bladder cancer patients whose surgery was delayed for more than three months after their diagnosis were more likely to die from their disease than patients whose surgery was performed sooner. view more (2006-03-28)
Max Planck researchers channel microcapsules into tumour cells and release their contents using a laser impulse
Treating malignant tumours is difficult. Doctors have to destroy the tumour, but healthy tissue needs to be preserved. Chemotherapy tends to kill diseased cells, at the same time causing great damage to the body in general. view more (2006-08-24)
SURGERY FOR COLORECTAL CANCER IN ELDERLY PATIENTS
Colorectal cancer is the most common malignant disease in elderly people, with over 70% of cases occurring in those aged 65 years or older. Doctors often have to decide whether surgery will be worthwhile in terms of the patient's life expectancy and the quality of life they can expect after surgery. In fact, fewer elderly patients undergo surgery... view more... (2000-09-14)
