Contrast Agent Trials In Swine
Mammography continues to be the method of choice for the early detection of breast cancer. However, because this technique is not as selective or specific as one would wish, and does not deliver reliable results for every level of tissue density, alternatives are being sought. Near-infrared fluorescence mammography, which works with rays of near-infrared light instead of X-rays, is a highly promising technique?although effective contrast agents have thus far been lacking. Remote Heat Imaging Identifies Sleep Disorder Without Disturbing Patie
New research shows that remote infrared imaging can monitor airflow and accurately detect abnormalities during sleep, without ever coming in contact with the patient.

A single-rod implantable contraceptive that has been available in other countries since 1998 is now being used in the United States, including in the Cincinnati area. The implant is injected underneath the skin of the upper arm during an in-office procedure that takes about one minute. The implant, the size of a matchstick, releases a steady stream of the female hormone etonogestrel (Implanon) over a three-year period. Breast Cancer Survival Rates Improved By Novel Drug Sequence, Say Rese
Changing the way women are treated for breast cancer could improve their overall chance of survival, according to research published today in the Lancet. The new paper shows that switching to a drug called exemestane, two to three years after commencing standard therapy with the drug tamoxifen, can cut the risk of death for certain women by a further 17 percent compared with using tamoxifen alone.

Massive Dinosaur Discovered In Antarctica Sheds Light On Life, Distrib
A new genus and species of dinosaur from the Jurassic has been discovered in Antarctica. The massive plant-eating primitive sauropodomorph is called Glacialisaurus hammeri and lived about 190 million years ago. The fossils were painstakingly removed from the ice and rock using jackhammers, rock saws and chisels under extremely difficult conditions over two field seasons. The long-necked herbivorous sauropods were the largest animals to walk the earth. They include Diplodocus and Apatosaurus. New Imaging Technology Shown To Detect Pancreatic Inflammation In Type
A key obstacle to early detection of type 1 diabetes - as well as to rapid assessment of the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention - has been the lack of direct, non-invasive technologies to visualize inflammation in the pancreas, an early manifestation of disease. Instead, clinicians have had to await overt symptoms before diagnosing an individual, by which time destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas has already progressed significantly. First Step Towards A Non-invasive Screening Test For Early Signs Of Te
Researchers in Denmark have discovered a way to detect early signs of testicular cancer before it has started to spread. Their findings are the first step towards developing a simple screening test for men at risk of the disease. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
