Non-invasive, real-time monitoring for sepsis in neonates goes national
02-08-2007 · EurekAlert!Imagine being able to know ahead of time when a baby will get a serious infection and then being able to treat the infection before it can affect his or her tender life. More than a dream, researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have developed a way to monitor babies in neonatal intensive care units and predict sepsis before there is any indication of illness.

- First Non-invasive Test To Measure Skin Aging; Results Suggest Women's Skin Ages Faster Than Men's
10-05-2006 · ScienceDaily
Physicists and medical researchers for the first time have demonstrated a new technique that non-invasively measures in real time the level of damage to the skin from sun exposure and aging, and initial results suggest that women's skin ages faster than men's. Findings appear in the October 1 issue of Optics Letters, a journal of the Optical Society of America.

- Team of scientists develops non-invasive method to track nerve-cell development in live human brain
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists including researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified and validated the first biomarker that permits neural stem and progenitor cells to be tracked, non-invasively, in the brains of living human subjects. This important advance could lead to significantly better diagnosis and monitoring of brain tumors and a range of serious neurological and psychiatric disorders.

- Magnetic tape analysis 'sees' tampering in detail
07-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed an improved version of a real-time magnetic microscopy system that converts evidence of tampering on magnetic audio and video tapes -- erasing, overdubbing and other alterations -- into images with four times the resolution previously available. This system is much faster than conventional manual analysis and offers the additional benefit of reduced risk of contaminating the tapes with magnetic powder.

- Automated analyzer for complex nuclear waste provides rapid results
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Identifying and quantifying specific alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides in liquid solutions can be challenging and time consuming -- typically taking from days to weeks to get results back from an analytical laboratory. But, when an industrial process-scale plant requires that an accurate, reliable analysis be completed in near real-time from samples retrieved directly from the process line, the challenge could be overwhelming. However, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have assembled a robust, fully automated prototype process monitor to meet demanding production needs.

- Intelligent sensors gear up for real-time flood monitoring
10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
An intelligent flood monitoring system that could give advance warning of the type of rapid flood that engulfed the UK Cornish village of Boscastle in 2004, is under test in the Yorkshire Dales. The system, which makes use of grid computing, could reduce the cost of flood damage by providing warnings of local flooding in time for people to take pre-emptive action.
