CAD plus MDCT useful in finding lung nodules

Computer-aided detection combined with MDCT improves radiologists' ability to detect solid lung nodules early enough for them to be treated without increasing interpretation time according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Hopital Pitie-Salpetriere in Paris, France.

1. PET outperforms CT in characterization of lung nodules
   02-06-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers involved in a large, multi-institutional study comparing the accuracy of positron emission tomography and computed tomography in the characterization of lung nodules found that PET was far more reliable in detecting whether or not a nodule was malignant.

2. Major link in brain-obesity puzzle found
   01-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A single protein in brain cells may act as a linchpin in the body's weight-regulating system, playing a key role in the flurry of signals that govern fat storage, sugar use, energy balance and weight, researchers report. And although it's far too early to say how this protein could be useful in fighting obesity, the finding gives scientists an important system to target in future research and the development of anti-obesity medications.

4. Jefferson scientists find blood vessel-building protein halts blood vessels from forming in cancer
   11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A piece of the protein cellular scaffolding involved in building blood vessels duringdevelopment might have the opposite effect in tumors. Scientists have found that the protein fragment endorepellin blocks both skin and lung cancer tumors from progressing in animal models by preventing their ability to recruit new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The researchers believe the finding could lead to a new type of tumor inhibitor to prevent cancer from spreading.

6. Penn study on olfactory nerve cells shows why we smell better when we sniff
   03-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Unlike most of our sensory systems that detect only one type of stimuli, our sense of smell works double duty, detecting both chemical and mechanical stimuli to improve how we smell. This finding, plus the fact that both types of stimuli produce reaction in olfactory nerve cells, which control how our brain perceives what we smell, explains why we sniff to smell something, and why our sense of smell is synchronized with inhaling.

9. Smac-ing lung cancer to death
   11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have developed a small molecule that can turn the survival signal for a variety of cancer cells into a death signal. The molecule mimics the activity of Smac, a protein that triggers the suicide of some types of cancer cells. The findings suggest that Smac-mimetic compounds could be useful as targeted cancer treatments for lung and other cancers.

10. Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
    11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. The program is designed to determine whether chest X-ray CAD can help identify hard to detect lung cancers at an early stage when they are most treatable, leading to improved patient survival rates.
