Perform non-radiation ERCP during pregnancy: Is it safe?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase the lithogenicity of bile and impair gallbladder emptying, which create a favorable environment for gallstone formation. view more (2009-08-12)
Agent protects cells from lethal effects of radiation even if given after exposure
No drugs exist to protect the public from the high levels of radiation that could be released by a "dirty" bomb or nuclear explosion. view more (2007-05-09)
New X-ray Delivery Method Could Improve Radiation Therapy
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and colleagues at Stony Brook University, the IRCCS NEUROMED Medical Center in Italy, and Georgetown University say improvements they have made to an experimental form of radiation therapy that has been under investigation for many years could make the technique more... view more...

High-dose vitamin C as a cancer therapy
Although early clinical studies conducted by Linus Pauling showed that high-dose vitamin C, given by intravenous and oral routes, may improve symptoms and prolong life in patients with terminal cancer, no benefits for cancer patients were seen when vitamin C therapy was administered orally in double-blind placebo-controlled studies at the Mayo... view more...

Radiation after surgery doubles survival time for some lung cancer patients
Patients with lung cancer that has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes - located between the chest, breastbone and spine - who receive radiation after surgery and chemotherapy live twice as long as patients who do not receive radiation after surgery. view more (2006-11-07)
Diamond detectors - The Physics Congress 2002
Diamond has an extremely high resilience to radiation - three orders of magnitude higher than silicon - making it an ideal material for detectors that monitor radioactive emissions inside the hostile environments found in nuclear energy plants. But because of the high price of real diamond, synthetic diamond is needed. The latest developments in... view more... (2002-04-02)
CT scans: Too much of a good thing can be risky
Patients who undergo numerous CT scans over their lifetime may be at increased risk for cancer, according to a study published in the April issue of Radiology. view more (2009-03-31)
Researchers devise safer way to dose life-saving heart drug
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have taken the dangerous guesswork out of dosing a lifesaving medication for congestive heart failure. view more (2006-12-18)
UCSF Medical Center using newest high-tech tool for brain disorders
The most advanced noninvasive, radiosurgery tool for treating a variety of brain disorders--including tumors--is now being used by specialists at UCSF Medical Center. The new machine expands UCSF's ability to provide state-of-the-art, specialized care to patients. view more (2007-12-04)
New test can identify patients who may suffer serious late toxicity from radiotherapy
Radiotherapists in Switzerland have developed a fast test that can be used immediately on patients to discover whether they are likely to suffer serious late onset side effects from radiation. view more (2003-09-20)
Emergency Physicians Don't Follow Established Clinical Guidelines for Diagnosing Patients with Possible Pulmonary Emboli
The number of MDCT examinations for suspected pulmonary emboli (PE) is rapidly increasing amongst ER patients, with a decrease in the number of positive studies. view more (2009-05-26)
How much omega-3 fatty acid do we need to prevent cardiovascular disease?
A team of French scientists have found the dose of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) that is "just right" for preventing cardiovascular disease in healthy men. view more (2009-08-31)
The effective chemoradiotherapy method for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Japan. The prognosis is extremely poor because it is difficult to detect this disease in the early stage and also the postoperative incidence of recurrence is still high, and we have not had any effective treatment for inoperable patients. view more (2008-09-22)
Targeted radiation therapy can control limited cancer spread
Precisely targeted radiation therapy can eradicate all evidence of disease in selected patients with cancer that has spread to only a few sites, suggests the first published report from an ongoing clinical trial. view more (2008-08-13)
Identification of highly radiosensitive patients may lead to side effect-free radiotherapy
An international group of scientists has taken the first step on the road to targeting radiotherapy dosage to individual patients by means of their genetic characteristics. view more (2009-09-24)
Stereotactic radiotherapy offers noninvasive, effective treatment for frail patients with early-stage lung cancer
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) should be considered a new standard of care for early-stage lung cancer treatment in patients with co-existing medical problems, according to results from a national clinical trial led by UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians. view more (2009-11-03)
IMRT versus 3D CRT for prostate cancer, new long-term data assesses side effects
New research findings show men have fewer long-term gastrointestinal side effects with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) than with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) for prostate cancer treatment, despite the higher doses of radiation used in the IMRT group. view more (2006-11-06)
New radiation protection technique results in reduced physician exposure
A new radiation protection technique can significantly reduce physician radiation exposure during coronary angiography, according to a researcher at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. view more (2006-05-03)
