New Guidelines for VHD

...int to the need to use echocardiography as the key technique to confirm a diagnosis of VHD. However, some countries provide better access to echocardiography facilities for patients than do other countries. "Another important point concerns the treatment of elderly patients," said Prof Vahanian. "VHD occurs ...

Hope for Noninvasive Prenatal Test

...somal abnormalities. Of the 60 samples tested, the technique identified the number of chromosomes correctly in 58, including two cases of trisomy 21. Although one case of trisomy 21 was not identified, and one normal sample was incorrectly identified as being trisomy 21, the researchers stress that this is a p...

Man-Made Proteins Could Be More Useful Than Real Ones

...and then analyzed it with x-ray crystallography, a technique in which x-rays are directed through a crystal of a protein so that its structure can be deduced from the resulting diffraction pattern. The researchers found that the Zwit1-F peptide folded into a bundle of coiled helices that resembled those in ...
