People at high risk of stroke due to blocked blood vessels in the brain benefit from successful stent placement, according to a study published in the Feb. 6, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. More Prostate Cancer Screening Has Little Effect On Detection Of Aggre
More prostate cancers were detected among men who were screened every two years than men screened every four years, according to a new study. But the shorter time between screenings did not reduce the number of aggressive cancers found between the scheduled screening tests. Findings that should speed the development of drugs for Parkinson's di
Scientists have significantly advanced our understanding of dopamine release from nerve cells, findings that should speed the development of more effective drugs for treating Parkinson's disease. People with Parkinson's disease suffer from muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement. These primary symptoms are caused by the loss of dopamine producing nerve cells in the brain. Big Pictures for Small Spaces

Only some 30 days since its launch NASA's Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), with key involvement from UK scientists at the University of Leicester, has discovered its first gamma-ray-burst afterglow during its initial activation phase. During its first view of the cosmos it captured a dazzling image of Cassiopeia A, a well-known supernova remnant in the Milky Way galaxy. Improved Imaging For Identifying Breast Cancer In Overweight Women
Increasing the ability to identify sentinel nodes -- the very first lymph nodes that trap cancer cells draining away from a breast lesion site -- has a major impact in the treatment and outcome of breast cancer patients, possibly eliminating the need for unnecessary and painful surgery. Researchers found that using SPECT/CT imaging aids in sentinel node identification -- especially for overweight or obese women, according to a report in the February issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Another World First For Artemis: A Laser Link With An Aircraft
Artemis, the European Space Agency Advanced Relay and Technology Mission Satellite, successfully relayed optical laser links from an aircraft in early December. These airborne laser links, established over a distance of 40,000 kilometers during two flights at altitudes of 6,000 and 10,000 meters, represent a world first. Blip Festival: 8-Bit Is Enough
