New method for detecting nitroxyl will boost cardiac drug research
Wake Forest University scientists have developed a new research tool in the pursuit of heart medications based on the compound nitroxyl by identifying unique chemical markers for its presence in biological systems. view more (2009-07-06)
Psychologists show experience may be the best teacher for infants
There's a lot of truth in the old proverb "experience is the best teacher," and apparently it even applies to 10-month-old infants. view more (2008-10-01)
Salivary diagnostics, the 'magic mirror' to your health ... at your personal computer
Accuracy, convenience, and non-invasiveness are the most critical characteristics for any diagnostic tool. A new concept, Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB), an in silico (i.e., performed on computer or via computer simulation) saliva diagnostic atlas, is launching today during the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research... view more...

Hammering sheet metal into shape
The tool at the pressing plant resonantly pounds the sheet metal, ejecting the newly formed vehicle hood moments later. Although this operation runs like clockwork on the production line, it caused the developers of the metal-forming equipment many a headache, since sheet metal springs back (unbends elastically) when the press is opened. The... view more... (2003-02-20)
Pesticides -- easier detection of pollution and impact in rivers
The long-term effects of pesticides on living organisms in rivers and on water quality can now be assessed more easily. view more (2009-09-04)
New device detects heart disease using less than one drop of blood

Supports Intensity Scale is effective for identifying needs in people with intellectual disability
The Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) assessment tool can effectively predict funding for people with intellectual disability based on individual needs, and it is truly a needs-based assessment tool, unlike adaptive behavior instruments or other measures of personal competence commonly used to determine services for people with intellectual... view more...

Quality-of-life yardstick needed for children with serious urologic conditions, Hopkins study shows
A small but revealing study from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center suggests that a widely used tool to measure physical, emotional and psychological functioning and well-being in children may fail to accurately gauge these quality-of-life indicators in the children with some of the most severe bladder conditions, such as spina bifida and bladder... view more...
