University of Iowa to Study Macular Degeneration - Lands $2.8M NEI Grant
Explore Article WOWT I Home Page (Apr 27 2010)
An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of Iowa has been awarded a five-year, $2.8 million grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) to improve how doctors manage treatment for patients with the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study will examine how advanced imaging -- known as three-dimensional optical coherence tomography -- and related image analysis can be used to assess changes in the macula and retina of patients' eyes. These changes can reveal how well a person is responding to anti-VEGF treatment and thus help doctors provide proper treatment timing and care.

HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nearly 4 million people nationwide suffer from cardiac arrhythmias each year, according to the 2006 U.S. Cardiac Rhythm Management Market report by Frost and Sullivan. About 2.5 million of these cases cannot be treated or controlled through medication alone. Since pharmacological therapies have limited effectiveness, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has emerged as the prominent approach for treating a broad range of arrhythmias. However, during the procedure physicians have no direct visualization of intra-cardiac structures, nor do they have a means to measure successful lesions. Recognizing this problem, researchers at Case Western Reserve University began a research program in ...

New Optical Tool Could Produce 'Virtual Biopsies' for Brain Cancer
Explore Article Newswise (Nov 4 2009)
As a Johns Hopkins electrical engineer, Jin U. Kang has spent years tinkering with lasers and optical fiber, studying what happens when light strikes matter. Now, he’s taking on a new challenge: brain surgery. More precisely, Kang is building a tool to help brain surgeons locate and get a clear look at cancerous tissue. In some cases, Kang says, this device could eliminate the need to cut into the brain for a traditional biopsy, a procedure that can pose risks to the patient. “The idea,” he says, “is to provide instant high-resolution pictures of a small segment of the brain ...
