Researchers develop portable 'vein finder' for faster, more accurate injections
When medics are treating trauma patients, every second counts. Yet bruises, burns, and other physical conditions often make it difficult to locate veins and administer lifesaving drugs or solutions. "Depth a...Robot assisted surgery more accurate than conventional surgery
A new study from Imperial College London shows that robot assisted knee surgery is significantly more accurate than conventional surgery. <...Unusual mechanism keeps repair protein accurate
Cancer researchers have discovered that a recently identified protein critical for repairing damaged genes uses an unusual mechanism to keep its repairs accurate. But while other DNA-repair proteins insure their accuracy with...Faster, more accurate tuberculosis test developed
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Imperial College London, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, and other institutions have developed a simple and rapid new tuberculosis (TB) test. The test, called microscopic-observation drug-susceptibility or MODS, is more sensitive, faster and cheaper to perform than current culture-based tests. The study...'GreeneChip' -- New diagnostic tool that rapidly and accurately identifies multiple pathogens
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and their colleagues in the WHO Global Laboratory Network have developed a new tool for pathogen surveillance and discovery—the GreeneChip System. The GreeneChip is the first tool to provide comprehensive, differential diagnosis of infectious diseases, including those caused by viruses,...Fast, Accurate Assessment of siRNA-induced Gene Silencing
Cells-to-Signal Kit: Small Sample Prep for qRT-PCR Real-time, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) is the most sensitive way to detect and quantitate mRNA and is often used to validate techniques that monitor changes in gene expression, including array analyses and RNA...Accurate Evaluation of the Finnigan Surveyor Autosampler Performance using a Deferred Standard
Thermo Electron Corporation, San Jose, CA, USA The Deferred Standard (DS) concept was introduced more than 40 years ago with the purpose of monitoring the reliability of process chromatography. The DS consi...Local meteorology company accurately predicts Hurricane Dennis landfall

Prostate cancer can effect men over the age of 40 years and is the second commonest cancer among men after lung cancer. Usually it goes undetected till it is advanced and beyond cure. However a lot of awareness has been created about this condition and now men over the age of 40 years can be screened regularly to detect the cancer. One of the most promising "tumour markers" in medicine...DNA Testing For More Accurate Results
Experts have now developed a DNA test capable of identifying myelodysplasia ( MDS ).MDS is a blood disorder that can lead to leukemia or // fatal infections and bleeding. Patients often don’t find out they have the disease until it’s too late for early treatment. About 15,000 to 20,000 people a year are diagnosed with MDS. The condition is most common in those over age 60. Researchers t...New Heart-Screening Device ,An Accurate Predictor Of Heart Disease
A new study shows a device that measures the stiffness of arteries may help doctors accurately diagnose heart disease and identify patients at risk for a stroke.// Researchers studied more than 250 participants. The patients were tested with a “blood-pressure-like” device, which measured blood volume in the leg as a way to determine artery stiffness. Patients were also screened with mag...CT Scans Said to Accurately Detect Small Cancers
New research presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America shows computed tomography scans may accurately detect small cancers and stones in the kidneys, bladders and urinary tracts of high-risk patients.// Multi Detector CT Urography ( MDCTU ) scans can be performed using helical CT scanners, which pass X-rays through the body from different angles. Patie...Can Men Gauge Biological Paternity Accurately
Paternity issue (if the man is the biological father of his child) has always been a topic of discussion, either as an idle gossip or as a detailed discussion by anthropologists. // A new study, by Kermyt G. Anderson (University of Oklahoma and the Centre for Applied Social Research) that would be published in the June 06 issue of Current Anthropology sheds new light a contentious issue. On how a...BD Beaver™ Accurate Depth Knives
Description:Pre-set guard for precise depth incision, bi-directional blade can cut left or right. 250 micron....Fast, Accurate Influenza A/B Antigen Detection
According to CDC data, influenza infections in this country cause more than 114,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths annually. Among healthy adults, bronchitis and pneumonia are the most common complications. Together, influenza and pneumonia are the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Influenza is particularly dangerous in elderly and immunocompromised people; however, infec...
