Hemopurifier Filters Ebola, Hep C, Metastatic Melanoma: Interview with James A. Joyce, CEO of Aethlon Medical
Filtering infectious pathogens and cancer cells directly from whole blood has been an almost fantastic proposition, but the Hemopurifier from Aethlon Medical does just that. We’ve been covering it for over 10 years on Medgadget as it proves i...

Watch Out for Breast Cancer on all CT Chest Scans
People undergo CT scans for all kinds of reasons. However, a recentstudypublished in the German medical journalR öFo, is urging radiologists to take a closer look when reading a woman ’s CT scan. The researchers found that after reviewing 1,100 chest CT scans, six percent demonstrated lesions indicating a BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) category.The researchers found that 68 patients, or 5.8 percent, had at least one lesion representing either BI-RADS 3 (probably benign), 4 (suspicious abnormality), or 5 (highly suspicious of malignancy). Fifty-seven of lesions were considered potentially histological...

Going After Your Past – The Big National Geographic Ancestry Test Review
Have you ever wondered to which people your ancestors belonged thousands of years ago? Or how your ancestors ended up living in the region where you were born? Did you know that your genes can reveal this information? The National Geographic Ancestry Test promises to take you on a journey into your faraway past and to be part of the Genographic Project aiming to uncover one of the greatest stories of humanity – our origins. I was excited to see what my genes hide so I ordered a test with full of curiosity. Here are my results.
Where do we come from?
Have you ever wondered where would you find your ancestors if you ha...

The Future of Radiology and Artificial Intelligence
What if an algorithm could tell you whether you have cancer based on your CT scan or mammography exam? While I am certain that radiologists’ creative work will be necessary in the future to solve complex issues and supervising diagnostic processes; AI will definitely become part of their daily routine in diagnosing simpler cases and taking over repetitive tasks. So rather than getting threatened by it, we should familiarize with how it could help change the course of radiology for the better.
Radiologists who use AI will replace those who don’t
There is a lot of hype and plenty of fear around artificial intelligence an...

New MRI Technique Images Glucose in Body to Spot Tumors
Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center have developed a highly sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that can image tumors in the body, without the need for conventional contrast agents or radioactivity.
Normally, doctors often i...

The SENS Rejuvenation Research Supporters of the German Party for Health Research to Run in Berlin State Parliament Elections
Single issue political parties are near invisible in the US, thanks to the political duopoly that manifests as an outcome of the use of first-past-the-post election rules. In many European countries more representative voting rules allow for the existence of a much larger number of competing parties, and as a result forming a political party to advance a single issue is a entire viable way to run a long-term advocacy campaign. You only have to look at the many environmentalist Green parties, or the more recent growth of the Pirate party, or even the lasting message provided by the Official Monster Raving Loony Party of the...

Petitioning the German Government to Fund Longevity Science
The German parliament has a formal petition system that does actually seem to result in dialog with politicians, unlike the comparable setup in the US that is for show and little else. This is one of many examples showing why single issue political parties are more of a viable approach to advocacy in European countries, and why you see more of that type of initiative in Europe. The German parliament started using an internet version of their petition system some years ago, and here is an example of the longevity science advocates of the German Party for Health Research supporting a petition to increase funding for research...

A History of General Refrigeration
Ancient societies figured out that hypothermia was useful for hemorrhage control, but it was Hippocrates who realized that body heat could be a diagnostic tool. He caked his patients in mud, deducing that warmer areas dried first.
Typhoid fever, the plague of Athens in 400 BC and the demise of the Jamestown Colony in the early 1600s, led Robert Boyle to attempt to cure it around 1650 by dunking patients in ice-cold brine. This is likely the first application of therapeutic hypothermia, but it failed to lower the 30 to 40 percent mortality rate. One hundred years later, James Currie tried to treat fevers by applying ho...

Trends in making a career in German science communication
Internships, coincidences, childbearing and passion for communicating seems to be key themes in making a career in science communication in Germany. At least those are some of the conclusions I made when attending Science Communication Career Day at Heidelberg University last week.
The Career Day was all in all a good experience. Logistically well organised and with an interesting bunch of speakers. There was even ‘fancy new media’ involved. A hashtag (#scicomcareerday) had been assigned and it was enthusiastically noted when 20 tweets had been reached and later on 50 tweets! Being beginners in using this it w...

Exploring science communication in… Heidelberg, Germany
When I moved to Bonn, Germany six months ago it was with great ambitions of exploring the German (Public Health) science communication community. Somehow time flew by and different job opportunities, unexpected travels, practicalities and even sickness kept me from getting started on my exploring.
But last week, into my inbox dropped an email with an update from one of the LinkedIn groups I follow (it’s called Science Communication). The headline was Career Day in Heidelberg: Science Communication and Journalism. After orienting myself on a map and finding Heidelberg to be only two hours train ride from Bonn, I dec...

Nein! German cost agency spurns Xalkori, Komboglyze - FiercePharma
The well-armed German pricing gatekeepers have dismissed two more Big Pharma drugs. Pfizer's ($PFE) lung cancer treatment Xalkori and the Bristol-Myers Squibb ($BMY)/AstraZeneca ($AZN) diabetes drug Komboglyze both got an initial thumbs-down from the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG). Under recent healthcare reforms--and budget cuts--in Germany, IQWiG assesses new treatments in comparison with existing alternatives. The agency's decisions determine whether new drugs can wear premium price tags. If the treatments aren't deemed superior to older drugs, then companies' pricing power is virtually nil....
