Massive necrosis after trans-catheter treatment is more common in the presence of tumor capsule
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Prognosis of patients with HCC complicating cirrhosis mainly depends on the tumor growth, progression of the underlying liver disease and the effectiveness of antitumoral treatment. view more (2007-11-26)

UC Davis researchers move biotechnology closer to replacing electronic pacemakers
UC Davis researchers have successfully used a custom designed protein and gene delivery system to restore normal heart rhythms in pigs with electronic pacemakers, reducing their dependence on implanted devices. view more (2006-08-23)
UCLA doctor develops new technique to treat varicose veins
Dr. Peter Lawrence, UCLA's chief of vascular surgery, picks up size 7 crochet hooks from a fabric store - not to make sweaters or scarves but to use in a new technique he has developed to treat varicose veins. view more (2007-10-23)
Breast Cancer Treatment Heats Up
In the March Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers demonstrate that miniscule bioprobes could be produced and used with molecularly targeted therapeutic heat to kill malignant breast cancer cells—without damaging nearby healthy tissue. view more (2007-03-07)
Modeling head and neck cancers
In a report to be published in the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang and colleagues at Oregon Health & Science University present a novel model of head and neck cancer, which is expected to become an invaluable tool in the evaluation of biomarkers and therapies to treat this devastating disease. view more (2006-05-15)
Big disparities in the treatment of arrhythmias across Europe
The latest statistics regarding the use of pacemakers and implantable cardiac devices in Europe was presented on Sunday 21 June, at EUROPACE 2009, the meeting of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) which takes place in Berlin, Germany from 21 to 24 June. view more (2009-06-22)
Alzheimer disease and the blood brain barrier: Is Abeta transport the key?
Increased production of the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide can lead to Abeta aggregation and buildup in the brain and rare familial forms of early onset Alzheimer disease (AD). view more (2005-10-21)

El Ni'±o and glacier melt in the tropical Andes
Glacier regression in the tropical Andes has accelerated considerably over the past 30 years. This change is cause for great concern, insofar as many regions of the Andes depend on the Cordillera's glaciers for their water supply (2). In 1991 scientists from the IRD research unit Great Ice (UR032) set up an observation network, jointly with their... view more... (2004-10-21)
NYU, Austrian researchers create non-invasive imaging method with advantages over conventional MRI
New York University's Alexej Jerschow, an assistant professor of chemistry, and Norbert Müller, a professor of chemistry at the University of Linz in Austria, have developed a completely non-invasive imaging method. view more (2006-04-25)
Brain surgery, new light-emitting materials and medical imaging - all are covered in the December issue of Opto and Laser Europe
LASERS ON THE BRAIN A new, minimally-invasive tool that can completely remove a brain tumour through a small hole in the skull has been delivered to surgeons in Germany. Conventional techniques use lasers to destroy brain tumours by thermal effects. This can destroy healthy tissue, and increases the risk of toxic side effects because it does not... view more...
