Patients with increasing accumulations of coronary artery calcium were more than six times more likely to suffer from a heart attack or die from heart disease than patients who didn't have increasing accumulations, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of...
Working with patients with electrodes implanted in their brains, researchers at the University of California, Davis, and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) have shown for the first time that areas of the brain work together at the same time to recall memories...
Electrical engineers at Oregon State University have developed new technology to monitor medical vital signs, with sophisticated sensors so small and cheap they could fit onto a bandage, be manufactured in high volumes and cost less than a quarter. A patent is being processed for the monitoring...
The system provides support for two 100G or 40G monitoring ports, that are configured to capture traffic from both sides of a bidirectional link, in two rack-units.
Few physicians recommend active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer rather than pursuing surgery or radiation, according to a Mayo Clinic study presented at the North Central Section of the American Urological Association's annual meeting in Chicago. Mayo Clinic urologists also discussed...
Parkinson's disease is the second leading neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Now, researchers at The Technical Research Centre for Dependency, Care and Autonomous Living (CETpD) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, BarcelonaTech (UPC) have designed a new wearable...
I have been doing a lot of exercise lately and I would like to monitor my progress. The majority of cardio I get is from an elliptical machine and the rest from weight training. I looked into the nike sport watch and was interested, but I don't do too much running which I would guess probably...
Pharmaceutical drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but later re-called from the market - such as the antidiabetic drug Avandia and pain-reliever Vioxx - were the impetus for an Institute of Medicine committee report, recommending that the FDA take proactive steps to continue...
A new implantable sensor device provides a less-invasive alternative for monitoring pressure within the skull (intracranial pressure, or ICP), suggests a pilot study in Operative Neurosurgery, a quarterly supplement to Neurosurgery, official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons...
MRI scanning could become a powerful new tool for assessing how well cholesterol drugs are working, according to Loyola University Health System cardiologist Binh An P. Phan, MD. Phan is co-author of an MRI study of patients who had recently begun taking cholesterol medications. The study found...
I have 2007 Corolla le and I don't know if it has TPMS or not. How do I find it out? It was manufactured in August 2006. I read that the law requires all 2008 models and later models to have TPMS. What about models manufactured in 2006?
I don't see any TPMS symbol at all when I start the...
We wish to record our land-line analog phones at our workplace. There are total 12 phone lines and I wish to have a single digital device that can record multiple lines and can provide a web interface for monitoring.
Device management using a home monitoring system with daily telemetry in patients with ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrilators) is a safe alternative to conventional monitoring and could decrease the number of inappropriate shocks, according to results of the ECOST study, a multicentre...
Using nanotechnology to engineer sensors onto the surface of cells, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have developed a platform technology for monitoring single-cell interactions in real-time. This innovation addresses needs in both science and medicine by providing the ability...
With increasing numbers of people worldwide - 5 million in 2010 - on antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV, the International Forum for Collaborative HIV Research recommends that improved and sustained global drug safety monitoring, including monitoring for substandard products, drug...
Call me crazy, but Detroit is going incredibly health conscious and has begun developing technology that will be able to monitor glucose levels, provide severe allergy alerts and keep medical records available all at the touch of a button in your car's interior. Ford Motor Company and their...
