New CPR promises better results by compressing abdomen, not Chest

A biomedical engineer at Purdue University has developed a new method to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation that promises to be more effective than standard CPR because it increases nourishing blood flow through the heart by 25 percent over the current method.

1. New studies confirm chest compressions alone
   12-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Two large-scale studies report that the chances of surviving cardiac arrest are no better -- and may be worse -- when bystanders perform mouth-to-mouth breathing than if they press on the chest without interruption. The results are in line with recently published experimental findings by the Sarver Heart Center CPR Research Group showing that neurologically normal survival was better with continuous chest compressions than when following the standard CPR protocol of 30 compressions and 2 ventilations.

3. UVa biomedical engineering study shows magnetic field can reduce swelling
   01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A recent study by University of Virginia researchers demonstrates that the use of an acute, localized static magnetic field of moderate strength can result in significant reduction of swelling when applied immediately after an inflammatory injury. This means that magnets might be used much the way ice packs and compression are now used for everyday sprains, bumps, and bruises, but with more beneficial results.

    03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast have a higher risk of contracting the disease in their opposite breast as well. However, many tumours still remain undetected when using mammography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) promises better results, as is shown in an inter-national study involving the University of Bonn.
