Killing Cancer Cells Using Electrical Field
Posted on 2008-07-14 14:36:41 in Cancer | Longevity and Age Management | Medical Technology |
A group of scientists headed by Yoram Palti from the Technion Institute in Israel, succeeded in killing dividing cells without harming non-dividing ones using electrical charges. It turns out that an electrical field in a small enough voltage doesn't damage living cells. The scientists used this fact to treat a cancerous organ with an altering current (AC) electrical field. Using the AC electrical field, normal cells remain unharmed while the dividing cancerous cells are destroyed. Continue reading…
Tiny scanner may monitor astronauts' mental health
Posted on 2008-07-14 11:59:31 in Longevity and Age Management | Medical Technology |
With jam-packed schedules and a video feed to Earth, astronauts enjoy precious little privacy as it is. Soon, doctors might peek into an astronaut's last bastion of solitude, thanks to a portable brain scanner that could one day go into orbit. Continue reading…
How Dangerous Are CT Scans?
Posted on 2008-06-30 12:13:03 in Imaging Techniques | Medical Technology |
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scans help doctors detect everything from cancer to kidney stones. But some physicians are raising concerns about the safety of such procedures — most notably, an increase in cancer risk. Continue reading…

Digital Surgery With Touch Feedback Could Improve Medical Training
Posted on 2006-09-18 07:38:46 in Medical Technology |
Combining the sense of touch with 3-D computer models of organs, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are developing a new approach to training surgeons, much as pilots learn to fly on flight simulators. With collaborators at Harvard Medical School, Albany Medical Center, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the team is developing a virtual simulator that will allow surgeons to touch, feel, and manipulate computer-generated organs with actual tool handles used in minimally i Continue reading…
