Leading European experts in magnetic resonance for animals

The UAB SeRMN is enlarging its facilities to make room for two cutting-edge machines for nuclear magnetic resonance. The devices are a Bruker BIOSPEC 70/30 spectrometer with a horizontal magnet, making it possible to carry out magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in vivo on animals, and an NMR Bruker AvanceII 600 spectrometer combined with a high-resolution liquid chromatography team and a mass spectrometer. Both pieces of equipment will have applications in the field of biomedical research.

1. Imaging experts perform cardiac scans by remote control
   10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
   UCLA radiologists and Siemens Medical Solutions have developed remote-control software that enables an off-site imaging expert to operate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine via the Internet. Reported in the November issue of Radiology, the study found that the quality of the remote scans were superior to onsite scans by a less experienced technologist, suggesting options for helping facilities or regions with limited medical staff and expertise.

2. Finding an answer to Darwin's Dilemma
   12-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   The sudden appearance of large animal fossils more than 500 million years ago -- a problem that perplexed even Charles Darwin and is commonly known as "Darwin's Dilemma" -- may be due to a huge increase of oxygen in the world's oceans, says Queen's paleontologist Guy Narbonne, an expert in the early evolution of animals and their ecosystems.

3. New technique to 'see' and protect transplants successful in diabetic animal model
   07-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found a way to overcome a major stumbling block to developing successful insulin-cell transplants for people with type I diabetes. They developed a new technique encapsulates the insulin-producing cells in magnetic capsules, using an FDA-approved iron compound with an off-label use, which can be tracked by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The product, tested in swine and diabetic mice, also simultaneously avoids rejection by the immune system, likely a major reason for transplant failure.

5. Aching back? Sitting up straight could be the culprit
   11-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers are using a new form of magnetic resonance imaging to show that sitting in an upright position places unnecessary strain on your back, leading to potentially chronic pain problems if you spend long hours sitting. The study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

   06-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Data presented today at the European League Against Rheumatism Annual European Congress of Rheumatology showed that patients with ankylosing spondylitis who received Remicade over two years experienced significant improvement in spinal mobility. In addition, Remicade-treated patients showed sustained reductions in spinal inflammation through two years as detected by magnetic resonance imaging.

10. High-tech ventilation fails to control secondhand smoke
    10-31-2006 · EurekAlert!
    What happened when James Repace, one of the world's leading experts on secondhand smoke exposure, teamed up with Dr. Ken Johnson, a top authority on secondhand smoke epidemiology, to investigate claims that new high-tech "displacement" ventilation systems could protect nonsmokers from toxic tobacco smoke in restaurants and bars? The hospitality industry promoted these expensive ventilation systems in desperation and convinced some city councils to allow smoking in dining establishments where it would normally have been banned.
