Two pathways found that lead to Alzheimer's disease
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a transitional stage between normal cognition and Alzheimer's disease, exists in two different forms. view more (2006-01-10)
Pregnant women at risk for unnecessary operations due to misdiagnosis of appendicitis
New research published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons suggests that pregnant women suspected of having appendicitis are often misdiagnosed and undergo unnecessary appendectomies (removal of the appendix) that can result in early delivery or loss of the fetus. view more (2007-10-25)
Protein shines light on cancer response
A technique that specifically "tags" tumors responding to chemotherapy may offer a new strategy for determining a cancer treatment's effectiveness within days of starting treatment, according to a new study by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators. view more (2008-02-25)
Screening MRI allows detection of more breast cancers in high-risk women
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high-risk for breast cancer. view more (2007-07-31)
The musician in the mirror
A new imaging study shows that when we learn a new action with associated sounds, the brain quickly makes links between regions responsible for performing the action and those associated with the sound. view more (2007-01-15)
Surprising results in teen study: adolescent risky behavior may signal mature brain
A new study using brain imaging to study teen behavior indicates that adolescents who engage in dangerous activities have frontal white matter tracts that are more adult in form than their more conservative peers. view more (2009-08-26)
Astronomers report unprecedented double helix nebula near center of the Milky Way
Astronomers report an unprecedented elongated double helix nebula near the center of our Milky Way galaxy, using observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. view more (2006-03-16)
Cassini Helps Redraw Shape of Solar System
In a paper published Oct. 15 in Science, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) present a new view of the region of the sun's influence, or heliosphere, and the forces that shape it. Images from one of the Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument's sensors, the Ion and Neutral Camera (MIMI/INCA), on NASA's Cassini spacecraft... view more... (2009-10-16)
Faster, more precise MRI for the medical world
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revolutionised the medical world two decades ago, providing doctors with an unparalleled view inside the human body. Now, MRI-MARCB has taken MRI to a new level with a system that enhances image quality, reduces scan time and improves diagnosis. view more (2004-09-24)
New guidelines emphasize use of breast MRI to supplement standard imaging
Updated guidelines for physicians that represent best practices for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to newly diagnose breast cancer and to make treatment decisions for breast cancer were published today in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. view more (2009-02-17)
Activation of the prefrontal cortex improves working memory
Psychologists and neurologists invest considerable effort in the study of working memory. In terms of information retention, there is a difference between long-term memory, which is affected in diseases such as Alzheimer, and short-term or working memory, which allows us to make immediate decisions or structure a discourse. view more (2009-04-02)
Finding out which parts of the brain do what
Ever since the Greeks proposed that different parts of the brain housed different parts of the ‘soul’, mankind has tried to discover where our mental functions are located. This evening, Thursday 22 February, in a public lecture at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG, Professor Alan Cowey FRS of the University... view more... (2001-02-15)
How the brain weaves a memory
Memories of events comprise many components-including sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Somehow the many features of an episodic memory are woven together into a coherent whole, and researchers have had little understanding of how this binding takes place as the memories are processed by the brain's memory center, the hippocampus. view more (2006-11-09)
New Imaging Methods for Joints Provide Boost for Combating Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder in the UK and affects more than one million people. In this disease the cartilage, the tough, slippery tissue that coats the end of the bones and provides smooth movement and shock absorbence, roughens and thins, and the surrounding bone grows thicker. Approximately 60% of people have osteoarthritis... view more... (1999-09-08)
MRI: A window to genetic properties of brain tumors
Doctors diagnose and prescribe treatment for brain tumors by studying, under a microscope, tumor tissue and cell samples obtained through invasive biopsy or surgery. view more (2008-03-25)
New imaging compound might 'see' Alzheimer's earlier
A new imaging molecule that can detect and map plaques and tangles in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis of the devastating disease, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles report in the Dec. 21, 2006, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2006-12-21)
Novel Imaging Approach May Assist in Predicting Success of Treatment For Atrial Fibrillation
University of Utah researchers have developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based method for detecting and quantifying injury to the wall of the heart's left atrium in patients who have undergone a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. view more (2008-10-08)
Meckel's diverticulum masked by intermittent recurrent subocclusive episodes
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital abnormality of the small bowel and it is often difficult to diagnose. view more (2009-06-24)
New image analysis techniques to monitor how breast tumours respond to drugs
New techniques that might allow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to be used to give doctors subtle information about a tumour’s physiology and how it reacts to drug therapy are being developed. view more (2001-12-18)
News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known. view more (2007-12-21)
