New research published by an international team of psychologists has shown that people can suppress incriminating memories and thereby avoid detection in brain activity guilt detection tests. Such tests, which are commercially available in the USA and are used by law enforcement agencies in...
Many diseases, including cancers, leave genetic clues in the body just as criminals leave DNA at the scene of a crime. But tools to detect the DNA-like sickness clues known as miRNAs, tend to be slow and expensive. Now a chemist and a biologist from University of Copenhagen have invented a...
Alterations to the "on-off" switches of genes occur early in the development of prostate cancer and could be used as biomarkers to detect the disease months or even years earlier than current approaches, a Mayo Clinic study has found. These biomarkers - known as DNA methylation profiles - also...
NASA has a new trick up its sleeve: a GPS system that is designed to locate the exact positon of serious earthquakes. Known as the Real-time Earthquake Analysis for Disaster (READI) Mitigation Network, it's being tested in the western US—and it's hoped it will save lives in the process. More »
Tumors can grow for 10 years or longer before currently available blood tests will detect them, a new mathematical model developed by Stanford University School of Medicine scientists indicates. The analysis, which was restricted to ovarian tumors but is broadly applicable across all solid tumor...
Mammography saves lives by detecting very small tumors. However, it fails to find 10-25% of tumors and is unable to distinguish between benign and malignant disease. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research provides a new and potentially more...
For patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the accurate determination of the lymph node status before therapy is critical to develop an individualized treatment plan. Research from the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine highlights a new way for this information to be...
A novel imaging probe developed by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators may make it possible to diagnose accurately a dangerous infection of the heart valves. In their Nature Medicine report, which is receiving advance online publication, the team from the MGH Center for Systems...
A new study from researchers in Indiana reports that use of a retroflexion technique in the right side of the colon during colonoscopy is safe and results in the detection of additional adenomatous (precancerous) polyps in approximately four percent of patients. This result is comparable to that...
I'm trying to make a maze game for android where you use your finger to navigate through the maze, but looking on the Android developer site, I can't seem to find anything which allows you to do collision detection with the position of the finger. Is there anything on the internet that shows how...
MelaFind, a device that helps dermatologists detect suitable samples for skin cancer biopsies has been approved by the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel, which advises the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The vote, 8 in favor and 7 against approving the device, only just got through -...
The IP Flood Detection setting on my motorola modem is causing 58+% packet loss. How necessary is it to keep this on? Is there a way to tweak it to give me some protection yet keep my packet loss at a minimum?

IntegenX, Inc. (IXI) announced that it has been awarded a new contract by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to develop an Integrated Sample-to-Sequence (ISS) system for rapid detection and identification of genetically engineered bacteria and...
According to a study from Thomas Jefferson University, the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) is increasing, in both screening and diagnostic mammography. The findings will be published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. CAD software systems highlight...
In a presentation at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Annual Legislative Conference Health Braintrust meeting, Faina Shtern, M.D., president and CEO of AdMeTech Foundation, unveiled overwhelming support from Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members and patient advocacy organizations...
ALOKA Holding Europe AG, the innovator in ultrasound, is heeding the advice of leading fetal health experts by including an automated Nuchal Translucency (NT) thickness measurement and pre-calibrated settings into its ProSound ultrasound systems. These features could reinforce the accuracy of...
