Hopkins study shows 30-day soft contact lenses pose very small risk of vision loss
A team of researchers led by the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute have determined that the corneal infection rate associated with the use of 30-day -extended-wear contact lenses made from silicone hydrogel is comparable to that previously reported for older lens types worn for fewer consecutive 24-hour periods. view more (2005-12-02)
Caucasians are at higher risk of developing Ewing's sarcoma than other races
The largest analysis of its kind has found that Caucasians are much more likely than people in other racial/ethnic groups to develop a rare bone and soft tissue cancer called Ewing's sarcoma. view more (2009-06-22)
Reducing kids' salt intake may lower soft drink consumption
Children who eat less salt drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks and may significantly lower their risks for obesity, elevated blood pressure and later-in-life heart attack and stroke. view more (2008-02-21)
Why Do Patients Choose Not To Donate Tissue?
When patients have adequate information, donating surgically removed human tissue to commercial research is not a contentious issue, finds a study in this week's BMJ. At Peterborough District Hospital, a trained nurse interviews patients before their operation and, with consent, surplus tissue is collected and supplied for commercial research.... view more...

Researchers use MRI to predict recovery after spinal cord injury
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists can better predict the likelihood of full or partial recovery of patients with acute spinal cord injuries (SCI). view more (2007-05-29)
Dietary factors appear to be associated with diabetes risk
Drinking more sugar-sweetened beverages or eating fewer fruits and vegetables both may be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas eating a low-fat diet does not appear to be associated with any change in diabetes risk. view more (2008-07-29)
Going Ballistic: Soft Structures Could Spell The End For Slow Shrimps
Many animals are able to rapidly extend their tongues to catch prey. In fact, the chameleon extends its tongue at an acceleration rate of 500 metres per second square - generating 5 times the G force experienced by an F-16 fighter during its most demanding maneouvre! New research presented at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in... view more... (2002-04-09)
Drink brewed tea to avoid tooth erosion
Today, the average size soft drink is 20 ounces and contains 17 teaspoons of sugar. More startling is that some citric acids found in fruit drinks are more erosive than hydrochloric or sulfuric acid-which is also known as battery acid. view more (2008-11-26)
Imperial College London Press Invitation - The future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking
Leading scientists from across the world will join academics and researchers from Imperial College London to discuss the future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking. view more (2002-07-04)
Mayo Clinic pioneers new method of jaw reconstruction for oral cancer patients
Mayo Clinic ear, nose and throat surgeons have developed a promising new process for mandible (lower jaw) reconstruction following removal of oral cancer. view more (2006-06-28)
Study finds MRSA most common cause of skin infections in patients presenting in nation's ER's
Think that's a spider bite on your arm? Think again. It could be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a type of staph infection increasingly seen in communities across the nation that is resistant to antibiotics most commonly used to treat skin infections. view more (2006-08-17)
Improving the quality of life for larynx cancer patients
Currently, voice rehabilitation of larynx cancer patients is performed by inserting a one-way shunt valve between trachea and oesophagus that prevents food and liquid from entering the trachea. Pressing the tracheal opening with a finger forces exhaled air through the shunt valve to the oesophagus, where soft tissue structures serve as a... view more... (2003-10-21)
Community-associated staph infections involving antibiotic-resistant bacteria increase
The incidence of antibiotic-resistant staph infections associated with being acquired in the community and not in health care institutions increased almost seven-fold in Chicago's Cook County Hospital system between 2000 and 2005. view more (2007-05-29)
Improved planning and perfomance of surgery - caesar research center at the Medica in Düsseldorf
Bonn research center caesar is presenting current medical technology projects at the "Medica 2004" in Düsseldorf (Hall 13, Stand C12) from November 24 - 27, 2004. Scientists support surgeons with innovative computer and laser technology in the planning and performance of operations. At the trade fair they are demonstrating a laser... view more... (2004-11-22)
High-energy ultrasound sharpens view of liver tumors
A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made with traditional ultrasound, according to results of a clinical study. view more (2008-01-08)
Fluorescence Diffuse Optical Tomography Provides High Contrast, 3-D Look at Breast Cancer
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created the first three-dimensional optical images of human breast cancer in patients based on tissue fluorescence. view more (2007-06-14)
Women and arthritis sufferers have poorer short-term recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery
The factors associated with poor short-term recovery from knee surgery appear to be different than those found to mar long-term outcome from the same surgery. view more (2007-07-16)
Thin films of silicon nanoparticles roll into flexible nanotubes
By depositing nanoparticles onto a charged surface, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have crafted nanotubes from silicon that are flexible and nearly as soft as rubber. view more (2005-06-15)
Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord. view more (2008-05-21)
Puncture needles off the roll
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery can observe their work through magnetic resonance imaging. But metal instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics - such as a multifunction needle manufactured on a continuous roll - offer a viable alternative. view more (2004-11-09)
