Researchers discover 120+ anti-angiogenesis compounds
Posted on 2008-10-06 06:57:37 in Cancer | Computers and Medicine |
Researchers have discovered more than 120 peptides that can stop or slow the growth of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. The discovery could lead to new treatments for some of the 30-plus diseases in which angiogenesis is known to play a key role. Continue reading…
Computer With Brain Connections Changing Quality Of Life Of Paralyzed
Posted on 2007-02-14 10:50:12 in Computers and Medicine |
Fundamental theories regarding consciousness, emotion and quality of life in sufferers of paralysis from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as 'Lou Gerhig's disease') are being challenged based on new research on brain-computer interaction. ALS is a progressive disease that destroys neurons affecting movement. The study appears in the latest issue of Psychophysiology. The article reviews the usefulness of currently available brain-computer Continue reading…
Virtual Realities Against Pain
Posted on 2006-09-05 07:15:49 in Computers and Medicine |
The feeling of pain produced during medical treatment can be reduced through sophisticated virtual reality helmets, a simple computer game and the determined predisposition of the patient. According to research psychologists at the UAB, this type of distraction even reduces the dosage of sedatives. Their research suggests putting greater emphasis on methodology and on psychological aspects of this technique in order to improve its property. Continue reading…

Posted on 2005-10-03 13:06:13 in Computers and Medicine |
Flight simulators used to train pilots and astronauts can provide relief from chronic dizziness, a study shows. Researchers from Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College London treated 40 patients with a history of balance problems. Continue reading…
Via Internet, Australian-based Researchers Perform Real-time Cell Surgery In California
Posted on 2005-08-19 06:32:07 in Computers and Medicine |
In an effort to combine sophisticated laser and Internet technologies, scientists in Australia have successfully performed laser surgery and "optical trapping" in a Southern California laboratory via the Internet. The scientists used a new Internet-based laser scissor-and-tweezers technology called RoboLase, demonstrating the potential of using the technology for real-time research activities between laboratories and for physicians to perform medical procedures from distant locations.
