Resemblance between cataplexy during status cataplecticus, normal REM sleep
The first efforts to identify the neural structures and pathways underlying cataplexy during status cataplecticus in a narcoleptic patient, with the use of brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), have led to the discovery that cataplexy during status cataplecticus, a case of prolonged cataplexy, partially resembles... view more...

RIT Study Benchmarks Quality of Digital Archiving in American Museums
Scientists from Rochester Institute of Technology have discovered a wide range of quality in the digital images being produced by American museums, libraries, and other cultural-heritage institutions and unfamiliarity with scientific protocol in the use of digital photography and color management. view more (2005-08-22)
Serotonin receptor: A rheostat in brain for emotion that may be linked to depression
Although drugs that target the brain's serotonin system are widely used to treat depression, the basic biological mechanism by which they help to alleviate symptoms is poorly understood. view more (2006-10-02)
MR imaging accurately determines prostate cancer treatment failure
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) plus diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can accurately diagnose residual or recurrent prostate cancer in patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasonic ablation, a new study shows. view more (2008-05-20)

The European Molecular Biology Organization announces the first international practical workshop for biology teachers
Following in the footsteps of last year`s very successful EMBO workshop for German biology teachers, the EMBO initiative goes international on 5 - 6 July 2002 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. Attracting secondary school biology teachers from across Europe, the workshop comprises scientific lectures from... view more... (2002-06-25)
Visualizing atomic-scale acoustic wavesin nanostructures
Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes of nanostructures such as LED lights. view more (2008-07-07)
Lack of strategies to manage MRI wait lists a key reason for excessive wait times
A new study headed by Dr. Tom Feasby, Dean of UCalgary's Faculty of Medicine, shows that while Canada lags behind other countries in the number of diagnostic imaging devices, more machines are not the only solution to long wait times. The study's authors say it is critical to prioritize MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) requests effectively. view more (2009-03-06)
Scientists: New technique identifies molecular 'biomarkers' for disease
University of Florida chemists are the first to use a new tool to identify the molecular signatures of serious diseases -- without any previous knowledge of what these microscopic signatures or "biomarkers" should look like. view more (2008-04-01)
Obesity an increasing obstacle to medical diagnosis
The increase of obesity in the United States doubled the number of inconclusive diagnostic imaging exams over a 15-year period, according to a study featured in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2006-07-25)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2005-07-27)
Penn researchers discover the powerful tool of simultaneous fMRI and PET imaging
Clinical researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) are the first to combine fMRI and PET scanning in radiology, creating a way to compare different measurements of the brain's function concurrently. This analysis could lead to better diagnosis and treatment in patients suffering from brain disorders, like Alzheimer's... view more... (2005-10-13)
