| Body contouring after bariatric surgery helps obese patients keep weight off Posted: 11 Oct 2014 02:21 PM PDT Patients who have plastic surgery to reshape their bodies after bariatric procedures are able to maintain 'significantly greater' weight loss than those who do not have surgery, according to a new study. |
| Oral capsule as effective as invasive procedures for delivery of fecal transplant Posted: 11 Oct 2014 02:21 PM PDT A noninvasive method of delivering a promising therapy for persistent Clostridium difficile infection appears to be as effective as treatment via colonoscopy or through a nasogastric tube. |
| Common anesthetic procedure dramatically improves well being of veterans with PTSD Posted: 11 Oct 2014 02:20 PM PDT A single application of a common anesthetic procedure could be the answer to alleviating anxiety, depression and psychological pain in those suffering from chronic, extreme post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to research. |
| Detecting depressive states in elderly with on-line monitoring devices Posted: 09 Oct 2014 01:36 PM PDT Detecting depression in older adults through monitoring their daily routine has become a reality thanks to a new system developed by researchers. This technology can be used as an auxiliary tool for the care of elderly people, who for various reasons, such as family abandonment of or a chronic condition, tend to fall into a depressed state. |
| Launch of new sensor device on Hudson River set to 'wire' river for cleaner water Posted: 09 Oct 2014 01:33 PM PDT In the race to find solutions to critical water issues, the launch of a new cost-effective water quality sensor device is the first step in overcoming hurdles of historically prohibitive costs for long-term water resource monitoring, scientists say. |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2014 12:40 PM PDT As birth rates decline in countries that include parts of Europe and East Asia, threatening the economic slowdown associated with aging populations, a global study suggests that in much of the world, it actually pays to have fewer children. The results challenge previous assumptions about population growth. |
| MRI machine provides in-depth analysis of strokes Posted: 09 Oct 2014 12:38 PM PDT A new, innovative way to classify the severity of a stroke, aid in diagnosis and evaluate potential treatments has been revealed by researchers. "Stroke affects millions of adults and children worldwide," said one expert. "This research offers a new technique for the chemical analysis of metabolites during stroke and a means of evaluating dynamic changes in cell processes and size in living tissue." |
| How doctors use prescription drug monitoring programs studied by researchers Posted: 09 Oct 2014 12:38 PM PDT As prescription drug abuse and overdose have escalated across the United States, prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) were implemented in every state, but little is known about the types of clinicians who make the most use of PDMPs. Researchers have now examined the differences between prescribers of controlled substances who use PDMPs and those who do not. |
