Progenika Biopharma presents a biochip that guarantees safety in blood transfusions
...an error of 3%. Thus, BLOODchip is currently the safest and most precise technique for genetically determining blood groups, enabling the reduction of adverse reactions in blood transfusions. Two different techniques are currently used to detect possible incompatibilities in blood transfusions: the sero......g tests (with nail clippers) show that the nail is safest from breaking into the nail bed because the energy needed to cut into the nail is much larger than to cut across the nail. Using scanning electron microscopy the scientists have found that the nail is made up of three distinct layers with the middle ...Combination therapy shows promising results in patients with advanced lung cancer
...ll. Reckamp's study was the first to determine the safest and most effective dose of Celebrex to use in lung cancer. Previously, doses were based on studies done in colon cancer patients. "I think the results of this early phase study are promising and I anticipate we'll have a better understanding of Tarce...Consumption of risky foods declines
...onsume risky foods than whites (32% vs. 21%). The safest eaters were African Americans, only 15% of whom reported consuming one or more risky foods in the 2002 survey. Among subjects under the age of 18, those who were immunocompromised were much more likely to consume risky foods compared to healthy subje...ICON funds UCSB survey of nanotechnology best practices
...ive director of CBEN. "Our goal is to identify the safest way to work with nanomaterials, and to do that we need to identify the best approaches in use today by industries that are already developing and using nanomaterials." The best practices initiative is intended to help companies manage potential nanot...Penn study finds hyperbaric oxygen treatments mobilize stem cells
...ficantly lower risk of such effects. "This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options," said Stephen Thom, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "Thi...Grants to fund research on preparing for bioterrorist attack
... precautions, however, makes computer modeling the safest approach. But can a model be built that is accurate enough to enable useful guesses about reality? Researchers within the new Center for Biodefense Immune Modeling will attempt to create comprehensive computer simulations of the body's reaction to t...Virginia Tech engineer investigates enzyme link to neurological disease
...ion velocity," Love says. "Our goal is to find the safest and most effective inhibitors that prevent the agglomeration-based crosslinking found throughout these neurological disorders."...Nerve protector could make for new stroke treatments

...amin D intake from diet and supplements may be the safest solution to achieve adequate levels of vitamin D," they said. The researchers compared 450 non-Hispanic white patients in the San Francisco Bay area who had advanced prostate cancer with a matched control group of 455 men who did not have prostate ca......e most appropriate and efficacious vaccine via the safest possible application method. DNA vaccines induce a distinct type of immune response that cannot be attained by traditional vaccines, and which is needed to fight many diseases that can not be treated so far, Tubersulosis being among them.
