Cool therapy reduces brain injury and death from oxygen loss in newborns
Infants born with oxygen loss who are given an innovative therapy that lowers their entire body temperature by four degrees within the first six hours of life, have a better chance of survival and lower incidence of brain injury. view more (2005-10-14)
New Studies Confirm Chest Compressions Alone are Life-saving for Cardiac Arrest
Two large-scale studies published in the Dec. 18 issue of the American Heart Association's medical journal, Circulation, report that the chances of surviving cardiac arrest are no better - and may be worse - when bystanders perform mouth-to-mouth breathing than if they press on the chest without interruption. view more (2007-12-26)
Low-tech garment holds promise in preventing maternal death related to childbirth
A simple, low-tech garment has the potential to prevent a major cause of death among women who give birth in many Third World countries, according to a new study by maternal health researchers. view more (2006-02-28)
Wireless sensor networks offer high-tech assurance for a world wary of earthquakes

Mayo Clinic Proceedings studies risk factors for blood clots
The prolonged immobility of flight passengers during long-haul air travel increases the risk of developing blood clots, which could prove fatal especially to people whose travel occurs just prior to major surgery, medical researchers report in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2005-06-01)
Vertebroplasty heals fractures but may cause others, Mayo Clinic study finds
A new Mayo Clinic study finds that vertebroplasty, a procedure used to treat painful compression fractures in the spinal vertebrae due to osteoporosis, appears to increase the risk for new fractures in adjacent vertebrae. view more (2006-01-17)
MIT's pint-sized car engine promises high efficiency, low cost
MIT researchers are developing a half-sized gasoline engine that performs like its full-sized cousin but offers fuel efficiency approaching that of today's hybrid engine system-at a far lower cost. view more (2006-10-30)
