Telemedicine can be used for accurate diagnosis of stroke symptoms
...the safe application of these medications requires exquisitely accuratediagnosis. If a patient's stroke is caused by a ruptured blood vessel insteadof a clot, or if too much time has elapsed since the onset of the stroke, usingthese medications can cause more harm than good, possibly even killing thepatient. So...Non-pathogenic bacteria block inflammatory response pathway in intestinal tract
...h. "Almost all other tissue types in the body are exquisitely sensitive to bacteria and their products. Now we have found a mechanism by which non-pathogenic bacteria block the inflammatory pathway and prevent cells in the G.I tract from responding as any other cell would respond. This mechanism for tolerance...USC researchers define role of protein, discover cause of chromosome damage
... critical for survival. And that is because of how exquisitely vulnerable our cells are to DNA damage in the first place. Indeed, he said, all you have to do is take some cells out of the organism in which they live and look at them under a microscope, and you'll find that 5 to 10 percent of them will have at le...Wake Forest researchers find brain region 'exquisitely' sensitive to alcohol
...w doses or high doses of alcohol. "This channel is exquisitely sensitive to alcohol." The next step is to expose the ferret thalamus to continuing high doses of alcohol -- paralleling an alcoholic's consumption. "We are now exploring whether chronic consumption of alcohol may turn this channel off, not just ac......ed to categorize beauty. A well-known one took ten exquisitely beautiful faces and mathematically averaged them. The result was one 'plain Jane.' Thus, the route to a perfect "10" is strewn with some tricky math. "One would think symmetry would be the dominating parameter, " Krantz said. "But if you consider a...OSU cancer researchers win $9.5 to study immunity
... even help them live longer. "The immune system is exquisitely complex, and may well hold the keys to the successful treatment of cancer, but we still have much to learn about its subtle machinery." Caligiuri says the award is the recognition of several years of sustained teamwork among many colleagues that have...Arizona pioneer in plastics wins top chemistry award
...n, Vandenberg designed a variety of catalysts, the exquisitely orchestrated construction workers of chemistry. Over succeeding decades he refined that knowledge with new discoveries. Among them were ways to control the length and branching of polymer chains, as well as what is now the most common route to make p...Researchers link the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's disease
...ction of the caspases, the researchers produced an exquisitely sensitive monoclonal antibody that recognized tau cut at Asp421, but not the complete protein. Using this antibody, they further established that tangles in Alzheimer brain sections had the caspase-truncated form of tau. "Establishing such a link be...'Shifty-eyed' monkeys offer window into brain's social reflexes
...shown that such a cognitive ability corresponds so exquisitely in humans and monkeys." Besides offering a basic understanding of the neural machinery of such social reflexes, said Platt, such a model could yield insights into such disorders as autism. "Children with autism tend not to orient to other individ...New breast scanner can detect early signs of cancer
... images," Tornai said. "For example, an X-ray will exquisitely show the bones in my hand, and as an analogy, a nuclear medicine image will show the ring on my finger which will appear to be floating in space. We need an imager that will show where the ring sits on my hand, and we can achieve that with a dual ima...Studies underscore genetic involvement in nicotine addiction & aggressive hostility
...ed of serotonin, these men's neural receptors were exquisitely sensitive and primed to over-react, in part by producing extra cortisol. Tying together the three findings, Hennig concludes that, "We found that gene polymorphisms contribute to the variance that can be found in neuro-endocrine challenge tests and...
