SPIE: New uses for focused ultrasound to treat brain diseases defined
March 15, 2010 -- Focused ultrasound therapy can noninvasively deliver targeted energy deep into the body with precision. Adding MR imaging enables real-time guidance and visualization of heating and ablation effects. And while the technique may not traditionally be associated with brain treatments, focused ultrasound could prove a perfect fit for treating a range of brain diseases.

Vertebroplasty effective for osteoporotic back pain when medical therapy fails
March 15, 2010 -- NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 15 - Contrary to recent reports, vertebroplasty does produce significant pain relief in selected patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures, researchers said yesterday at the Society of Interventional Radiology meeting in Tampa, FL.

U.S. House Democrat says still short on health votes

Still, there is reason for optimism, as departments learn from previous experiences and when inspiration came from desperation.

A normal coronary artery calcium score is reliable for several years
March 12, 2010 -- NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 12 - A normal coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan in middle-age appears to have a "warranty period" of about four years, during which the patient is unlikely to develop coronary calcium, U.S. investigators report.

Long-term breast cancer survival similar with SNLB and complete axillary dissection
March 12, 2010 -- NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 12 - With small breast cancers, doing complete axillary dissections only for positive sentinel lymph node biopsies (SNLB) yields the same 10-year disease-free survival -- roughly 90% -- as doing routine complete dissections in all cases, researchers say.

March 12, 2010 -- ST. CHARLES, MO (Reuters), Mar 12 - President Barack Obama declared on Wednesday the "time for talk is over" and urged the U.S. Congress to vote on healthcare as his health secretary directly challenged insurers to forgo profits to make coverage more affordable.

Cardiac catheterization has low diagnostic yield
March 11, 2010 -- NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 11 - Just 38% of patients with suspected cardiac disease are found to have obstructive coronary disease on elective cardiac catheterization, new research shows.
