Results with newer bladeless LASIK equivalent to standard microkeratome LASIK
A Mayo Clinic study comparing femtosecond (bladeless) and mechanical microkeratome LASIK surgeries has found equal results from both types six months post-surgery, using a variety of vision and eye health measurements. The study's findings will be presented next week in three abstracts at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. LASIK (Lase...Molecular anatomy of influenza virus detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza. A team of researchers led by NIAMS' Alasdair Steven, Ph.D., working with a version of...Comprehensive model is first to map protein folding at atomic level
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a computer model that, for the first time, can fully map and predict how small proteins fold into three-dimensional, biologically active shapes. The work could help researchers better understand the abnormal protein aggregation underlying some devastating diseases, as well as how natural proteins evolved and how proteins recognize correct biochemica...Natural antibiotics yield secrets to atom-level imaging technique
Frog skin and human lungs hold secrets to developing new antibiotics, and a technique called solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a key to unlocking those secrets. Ramamoorthy's r...Better insight into brain anatomical structures
Magnetic resonance imaging is a very effective method for revealing anatomical details of soft tissues. Contrast agents can help to make these images even clearer and allow physiological processes to be followed in real time. Conventional gadolinium complexes currently used as MRI contrast agent cannot reveal anatomic structures. As reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie, Korean researchers...Vibratome 800 - McIllwain Tissue Chopper - 230V CE from myNeuroLab.com
Description:The Vibratome Company has joined forces with the Mickle Laboratory Engineering Company to introduce the Vibratome 800 Tissue Chopper. This tissue sectioning system has been designed to prepare sections of tissue for metabolic experiments and to be especially applicable to small and irregular specimens available at biopsy or from small organs. Its special features cause much less disturbance of ce...Vibratome 800 - McIllwain Tissue Chopper from myNeuroLab.com

An effort to diversify Potawatomi tribe casino funds is adopting a more aggressive investment strategy, one that has contributed to both the nation's technology industry and the state economy. After investing in two Midwest...Studying brain anatomy without surgery
Scientists at the University of Illinois developed a non-invasive diagnostic tool that can study changes occuring at the surface of the brain dur to the brain activity.This technique is based uopn near-infrared spectroscopy and is simpler to use and less expensive thatn other methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and postition emission tonography. According to Enrico G...Bottled Water Contains Coliform Bacteria and Diatoms
The New York State Department of Health has confirmed coliform bacteria and diatoms in some samples of bottled water produced by North Country Spring Water//, Ltd. For this reason North Country Spring Water, Ltd. of Port Kent is voluntarily recalling all of its bottled water products. Coliform bacteria are naturally present in the environment. But presence of coliform bacteria in bot...Australian Medical Students Lack Anatomy Knowledge
The significant reduction in the teaching hours for medical subjects such as anatomy in Australian medical schools has resulted in a pathetic state where medical students are unable to locate vital body parts//. In some instances, they end up confusing one organ with another. In addition to the subject of anatomy, there has been a considerable reduction in the teaching hours for biochemis...Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed

Description:6-inch Electro-Dermatome. This is the only powered 6-inch dermatome on the market. A six inch graft can cover most adult hands or a small child's face without seams. This dermatome has been designed to run more efficiently, thus the motor volume is decreased considerably and the handle temperature is much cooler. The Electro-Dermatome is durable and cost-effective. It is affordably priced to meet...
