- Iowa State engineer develops laser technologies to analyze combustion, biofuels
12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Terry Meyer, an Iowa State University assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is using laser technology to develop advanced sensors capable of analyzing the combustion inside engines, power generators and heating systems. He'll use the sensors to study -- and potentially improve -- the combustion of alternative fuels.

- Purdue researchers develop technology to detect cancer by scanning surface veins
09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have developed technology to detect tumor cells within the human body. By shining a laser on surface veins, such as those on the wrist and inside the cheek, researchers are able to reveal and count circulating tumor cells. The new detection method is able to evaluate a much larger volume of blood than what can be drawn from a patient for analysis, said Philip Low, Purdue's Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry.

- Robotics lab helps stroke patients with recovery
12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Robotics engineers at Rice University are teaming with doctors from Houston's Memorial Hermann/TIRR to develop a PC-based system for stroke rehabilitation. Sixteen patients are testing a prototype system. They use joysticks to move objects on a computer screen. Using force-feedback technology, the joystick resists moves in the wrong direction and guides patients along the right path. Researchers hope to refine the system to allow stroke patients to recover more quickly.

- New 'GreeneChip' identifies multiple pathogens rapidly and accurately
12-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
An international group of researchers has recently developed a new technology for pinpointing pathogens. Called the "GreeneChip," this device consists of a glass slide onto which are attached nearly 30,000 pieces of genetic material taken from thousands of different viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. When human fluid and tissue samples are applied to the chip, these probes will stick to any closely related genetic material in the samples.

- MSU researcher helps develop computer game for Ugandan children recovering from cerebral malaria
10-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
The computer program Captain's Log - originally used with individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, brain injuries or learning disabilities -- is being adapted to rehabilitate Ugandan children who are survivors of cerebral malaria. Michael Boivin, a Michigan State University associate professor of neurology and ophthalmology and of psychiatry, and Bruno Giordani, a University of Michigan associate professor of psychiatry, are leading the project.

- New treatment for glaucoma shows promise in laboratory, say Iowa State researchers
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Iowa State University researchers developed a new technique that successfully treated rats for blindness caused by glaucoma. They previously determined that animals with glaucoma increase production of neurotrophins in an attempt to shield against blindness. They imitated that process in the laboratory, modifying bone marrow-derived stem cells and transplanting them into the eyes. Their experimental treatment will be used on dogs in the next year. If successful, it is expected to move to human trials.
