High-throughput oncogene mutation detection in human cancers by mass spectrometry-based genotyping
Researchers have devised a new method to detect a spectrum of known gene mutations in a variety of cancer genes that they say is both sensitive and cost-effective. They say that if validated, this method of genotyping might ultimately be used in "real time" to match patients to available targeted therapies. Results were presented at the first meeting on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Ther...Researchers use mass spectrometry to detect norovirus particles
Scientists have used mass spectrometry for decades to determine the chemical composition of samples but rarely has it been used to identify viruses, and never in complex environmental samples. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health recently demonstrated that proteomic mass spectrometry has the potential to be applied for this purpose. Using a two-step process,...Imaging Mass Spectrometry for Small Molecule Localization from Protein Discovery, Inc.

Imaging modality has yet another discovery to its credit. Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (MRS) as is it called is a safe, non-surgical method of identifying brain infections such as brain abscess, and an accurate// and rapid way of diagnosing meningitis. The new method will also help distinguish between brain tumor and other types of brain infection in a simple but effective way. Severa...Hazards of Electromagnetic Fields for children
Though technologic developments bring social and economic benefits to the society, the health consequences of these are difficult to predict and manage. With rapid advances in electromagnetic field (EMF) technologies and // communications, children are increasingly exposed to EMFs at an earlier age. Due to an association between childhood leukemia and exposure to extremely low frequency (...Mass Spectrometry to Identify Viruses
Although mass spectrometry has been used to determine the chemical composition of materials for decades it had rarely been used to identify viruses// especially in complex environmental samples. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health successfully separated, purified and concentrated a norovirus surrogate from a clinical sample within a few hours using pr...No Increased Risk of Certain Cancers from Electromagnetic Fields Among Energy Workers
Electromagnetic fields do not pose a health hazard to workers in the electrical energy supply industry, suggests a large study of 28,000 people, published ahead of print in// Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Exposure to low frequency electromagnetic fields of 50 to 60 Hz has been implicated in an increased risk of leukemia, brain and breast cancers. The researchers...Does Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields Cause Cancer?
Electromagnetic fields may not pose a risk of cancer; a Danish study conducted amongst 28,000 workers in 99 utility companies// has shown. Danish medical records were analyzed to monitor fresh cases of leukemia, breast cancer, or brain cancer among the utility workers for 23years. This was done to ascertain the levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and its effects....Lindstrom Lasik Spatula and Marker
Description:This instrument marks the cornea for centration of the flap and provides a spatula for flap management in primary and enhancement cases. The corneal marker has a pararadial mark that is used to ensure proper alignment of the flap after treatment.
