The embodied self: Using virtual reality to study the foundations of bodily self-consciousness
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
A group of neuroscientists and a philosopher have devised a series of novel experiments using virtual reality that could shed light on decades of clinical data pointing to cognitive and perceptual mechanisms involved in humans' concept of self. Their results, published Aug. 23 in Science magazine, show that a person's sense of self can be manipulated using conflicting multisensory bodily input, indicating that spatial unity and bodily self-consciousness depend on brain mechanisms, and can be explored experimentally.

Genesearch Breast Lymph Node assay detects breast cancer metastases with greater sensitivity
12-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Results from a prospective clinical study show that the GeneSearch™ Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay, a gene-based diagnostic test has greater sensitivity than traditional intra-operative methods of detecting the spread of breast cancer to the lymph nodes. In the study sponsored by Veridex, LLC, the GeneSearch™ BLN Assay demonstrated overall sensitivity at least 10 percentage points higher than traditional intra-operative tests. The data were presented today at the 29th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

Anyone can save a life: Penn researchers lead national efforts to improve CPR quality
01-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
Studies show that only 15 to 30 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR before emergency personnel arrive. But chances for survival plummet as minutes tick by without any blood circulating through the body. Early bystander CPR, however, doubles to triples survival rates. Penn doctors are using a multi-pronged approach, combining new technology with best clinical practices, to boost CPR quality in the community and across the nation.

Children with gene show reduced cognitive function
11-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Children possessing a gene known to increase Alzheimer's disease risk already show signs of reduced cognitive function, an Oregon Health & Science University study has found. Scientists discovered that 7- to 10-year-olds with a member of a family of genes implicated in development, nerve cell regeneration and neuroprotection display reduced spatial learning and memory, associated with later-life cognitive impairments. This suggests brain changes predisposing a person to Alzheimer's might occur much sooner than previously thought.

VEGF Trap shows activity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer
06-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Preliminary results of a randomized, international Phase II trial of VEGF Trap (aflibercept) show activity in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who had received three or four prior chemotherapy regimens and had become resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy agents. The findings, which are being presented today at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting, may indicate a role for this targeted therapy in women with ovarian cancer who have exhausted all other options.
