Using swarms of pinhead-sized magnets inside a handheld, all-in-one lab kit, UCLA researchers have developed a technology that could significantly increase the speed and volume of disease testing, while reducing the costs and usage of scarce supplies.

Undergraduate and graduate students, high school students and a few high school science and engineering teachers presented their work at the 2nd Annual Summer Research Symposium.

Lithium can help with the symptoms of both bipolar illness and depression if used at the proper dosage. Amounts that are either too little or too much can have harmful effects.

Lithium can alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression -; if taken in just the right amount.

For those diagnosed with colorectal cancer, surgery has been the only option that offers a solution. Unfortunately, surgery is frequently complicated by disease recurrence at the site of the original cancer when microscopic cancer cells are left behind at the time of surgery.

Surgery has been the sole option that delivers a solution for those diagnosed with colorectal cancer. However, surgery is often complicated by disease relapse at the original site where the tumor was found when residual microscopic tumor cells are left behind during the surgery. Although it can lead to harmful side effects, chemotherapy is a treatment choice that is frequently given along with surgery.

Wearable devices offer new insights into the progression of Type 2 diabetes in Latino adults In one of the first studies of its kind, medical and engineering researchers have shown wearable devices that continuously monitor blood sugar provide new insights into the progression of Type 2 diabetes among at-risk Hispanic/Latino adults. The findings by researchers from Sansum Diabetes Research Institute (SDRI) and Rice University are available online this week in EClinicalMedicine, an open-access ...

New Wireless Device can Help Treat Obesity Written by AZoSensorsJan 11 2021 For people struggling with obesity or suffering from serious health-related problems due to weight gain, gastric bypass surgery, at times, becomes the last option. Park’s paddle-shaped device consists of a harvester that contains microchips for wireless communication. The harvester also produces currents to power LEDs inserted near the end of the shaft.
