Cosmetic Eye Enhancer may Lead to Disfigurement

...les to be a safer and more effective agent. The technique is still so comparatively new and unproven, however, that Goodman cautions against its use around the eyes unless completed by a doctor who is experienced in its use. According to Goodman, many cosmetic techniques are implemented too quickly and to...

This is Why DNA Has Its Famous Helix Shape

...sured the changes in force as they pulled. The AFM technique allows precise measurements of forces within individual molecules down to one pico-Newton--a trillionth of a Newton. For a sense of scale, the force of gravity on a two-liter bottle of soda is about 20 Newtons. "They captured the range of stacking...

Tumor Painting to Fight Against Cancer

Scorpion Venom may Help Treat Cancer

...or human clinical trials. The researchers said the technique could be used in operating theatres in the US in as little as 18 months....

Playing Music Helps Women Relax During Colposcopy

...rmal cells the woman will be offered colposcopy, a technique that involves a doctor studying the cervix with a special microscope. Many women find the whole procedure highly stressful and have particularly high levels of anxiety before and during colposcopy. Researchers working for The Cochrane Collaboratio...

AIIMS Fined Rs 5 Lakhs for Negligence

... in the procedure of detecting cancer (through the technique adopted by doctors) ... we find that the negligence of AIIMS was limited to the extent of wrong diagnosis that resulted in very serious consequences that the right breast and arm pit of the complainant were removed," said Justice Kapoor and Commissio...

Novel Method of Adult Stem Cell Growth may Help to Treat Cornea Disorders

...phthalmologist at the hospital, applied the growth technique for the treatment of diseases of cornea in 70 rabbits for the purpose of regaining the damaged epithelium, and thus restoring transparency to the cornea. The experiments proved the therapeutic efficiency in using corneal stem cells in patients with...

Simple Chemical Reaction may Help Early Disease Diagnosis

...ect important molecules in blood and urine. The technique is effective as it increases the visibility of markers for some genetically caused metabolic disorders up to 100 times when detected through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy equipment. The study was conducted by a team of researchers led by ...

Hip and Knee Replacements Becoming More Patient-friendly

...neration joints through minimal access surgery - a technique that offers numerous patient benefits. The centre has dedicated pain-relief therapists who work with all joint-replacement patients as a part of post -operative recovery. The centre also claims that infection rate will be minimal there and that sur...

Genome Annotation by Mutation

Boffins Develop New Technique to Hunt Illness-causing Mutants in Non-gene DNA

... that they have developed a faster, less expensive technique to hunt illness-causing mutants in large, non-gene stretches of DNA. The development of the new technique is important because diseases can result not only from mutant genes, but also from mutations of othe...

Interoperative Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer Patients

The switch has a genetic component and a chemical component: Using genetic engineering, the scientists insert a short segment of amino acids into the amino acid sequence making up the protein. This segment is capable ...

New Tumor Markers for Pancreatic Cancer

... out this work we used microarrays or DNA-chips, a technique used for multiple analyses. It allows the detection and quantification of messages sent by thousands of genes. We analysed biopsies of PC as well as samples of healthy pancreas. The RNA (thousands of messages sent by cells) from each sample was extra...

A New Milestone in Stem Cell Research

...bypass surgery. The feasibility and safety of this technique has already been demonstrated. As a result of the chosen double blind placebo-controlled design, neither the patients nor the surgeon knows whether the patient is going to be injected with stem cells or placebo. This ensures that results are not bi...

Maths Theory Shows Genetic Pattern of Tumour Growth

...h, Komarova and her colleagues used a mathematical technique called optimal control theory in which they considered a tumour with set characteristics, then changed the cell mutation variable to see under which circumstances the tumour grew best. The mutation rate serves as the control knob. Then, we can calc...
