08/06/2010 -- Fluorescent probe detects oral cancer using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
UC Davis researchers collaborated to develop a fiber-optic laser probe for the early detection of oral cancer, which stimulates molecules in the patient's tissues with the laser—and some of these molecules naturally respond by re-emitting fluorescent light. -
08/10/2010 -- Spectral Molecular Imaging, Omega Optical join to develop multispectral imaging endoscopes based on optical technology
Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (SMI; Beverly Hills, CA) will receive National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding through a collaboration with Brattleboro, VT-based Omega Optical to accelerate development of a new class of medical endoscopes enhanced with proprietary multispectral imaging technology. -
08/13/2010 -- Chemical sensors based on photonic structures in butterfly wings show potential in disease detection
Recognizing the potential of GE's sensing technologies based on photonic structures in Morpho butterfly wings for improving homeland protection, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is supporting further collaborative research for scientists at GE Global Research. The GE sensing platform also shows promise for breath analysis for disease detection. -
08/17/2010 -- NICE moves to standardize ablative therapies for treating Barrett's esophagus
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued new guidelines recommending that clinicians consider offering endoscopic resection (ER) of high-grade dysplasia and intramucosal cancer as an alternative to removal of the affected part of the esophagus (esophagectomy) for the treatment of Barrett's esophagus. -
08/20/2010 -- Anti-VEGF use does not appear to affect retinal nerve fiber layer thickness
Concern over treatment effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy on the health of the retinal-nerve fiber layer may be unwarranted, as long-term treatment does not appear to lead to significant changes in retinal-nerve fiber layer thickness.
