   12-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the first evidence of single top quarks produced in a rare subatomic process involving the weak nuclear force. The result is an important test of predictions made by particle theory, such as the number of quarks that exist in nature. In the longer term, the techniques employed in this analysis will allow scientists to search for an even more elusive particle, the Higgs boson.

   Increasing the ability to identify sentinel nodes -- the very first lymph nodes that trap cancer cells draining away from a breast lesion site -- has a major impact in the treatment and outcome of breast cancer patients, possibly eliminating the need for unnecessary and painful surgery. Researchers found that using SPECT/CT imaging aids in sentinel node identification -- especially for overweight or obese women, according to a report in the February issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
