   03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center and the New York University School of Medicine have developed a new imaging technique that allows physicians to peer directly into patients' blood vessels and find dangerous cholesterol-filled plaques before they rupture and cause a heart attack. In animal tests, the new technique improved cholesterol detection by 79 percent. The research will be presented in March at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Chicago.

   11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   An estimated nine million men and women in the United States live with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition marked by pain that permeates muscles in the neck, back and shoulders. The condition is difficult to diagnose and not entirely understood, but research studies indicate that a new imaging technology developed at Mayo Clinic holds promise for a definitive diagnosis and, perhaps eventually, new treatments for people who have the syndrome.

   An experimental drug that attacks cancer in an entirely new way has shown promise in treating advanced melanoma, delaying progression of the disease and prolonging the lives of patients. New research presented today at the European Cancer Conference in Barcelona found that giving the new drug in addition to chemotherapy more than doubled the amount of time patients survived without progression of their cancer.

7. Carnegie Mellon University research shows how sensory-deprived brain compensates
   04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Whiskers provide a mouse with essential information. These stiff hairs relay sensory input to the brain, which shapes neuronal activity. In a first, studies of this system by Carnegie Mellon scientists show just how well a mouse brain can compensate when limited to sensing the world through one whisker. Published April 4 in the Journal of Neuroscience, the results should help shape future studies of sensory deprivation that results from stroke or traumatic brain injury.

   More than 6 million kids in this country have asthma -- or do they? New research shows many children are being misdiagnosed. Instead of asthma, they may actually have Vocal Chord Dysfunction, a much less serious condition that doesn't require medication. A simple test can show doctors and parents the difference between asthma and VCD.
