Technique monitors thousands of molecules simultaneously
A chemist at Washington University in St. Louis is making molecules the new-fashioned way ?selectively harnessing thousands of minuscule electrodes on a tiny computer chip that do chemical reactions and yield molecules that bind to receptor sites. Kevin Moeller, Ph.D., Washington University professor of chemistry in Arts & Sciences, is doing this so that the electrodes on the chip can be used...Cis-Reporting System Monitors Intracellular Calcium Mobilization
Stratagene cis-reporter plasmid,the pNFAT-Luc reporter plasmid, is designed for studying the activation of thenuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT) transcription factors...Cis-Reporting System Monitors Intracellular Calcium Mobilization

The health information will enable NASA to monitor and track the health of the astronauts du...Platypus receives $2.14M grant to develop personal pesticide monitors
MADISON, Wis. The grant is to continue development of a personal monitor for the measurement of low-dose, cumulative exposure to pesticides. The mo...Microscopic lens monitors heart problems
An innovative way to predict risk of surgery. Lens as thick as two strand of human hair, can predict when complications are developing after coronary bypass surgery. The main problem with bypass surgery is that arteries tend to re-block, risking heart attack and requiring further treatment.// If changes in blood flow through the artery could be detected at an early stage, it's possible th...Mumps Outbreak Hits US As CDC Monitors Air Travelers
U.S. Public health officials have voiced concerns about an outbreak of mumps that has hit people in the Midwest with some reporting to have contacted the infection on airline // flights. Iowa reported more than 600 cases of the common childhood illness, which was all but wiped out with the widespread use of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. "The state of Iowa has been experienci...New System Monitors Tiny 'Earthquakes' in Bones to Prevent Fractures
Researchers are applying the same basic technique seismologists use to measure earthquakes for a new medical technology that promises to prevent stress fractures by detecting the formation of tiny cracks in bones.// The crack formation generates waves similar to those created by earthquakes. Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Toledo have collaborated to create a pr...Fetal Oxygen Monitors Not Helpful To Prevent Mishaps In Labor:Says Study
A study conducted recently has concluded that monitoring fetal oxygen when a woman is in labor//, need not ensure that the new born may be more healthier or decrease the chances of an avoidable Caesarean deliveries. As part of fetal monitoring, during labor, it has been a routine practice in modern hospitals to monitor the fetal oxygen levels of the unborn fetus .This is done in the cu...Space-Age Bandage Monitors Patients With Raynaud's Disease
Clinicians from Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center together with engineers from the university's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) came up with this nifty monitor that// checks a patient's finger for symptoms of Raynaud's disease. Early results from the evaluation of the device seem to be promising: The Ambulatory Raynaud's Monitor wraps around a patient's finger and is secured with a ba...
