...Here pumping the chest, inflating the lungs, filling the blood vessels and starting the heart were the immediate and technically demanding needs. It was only when the medicine was unknown to us or very complex - renal failure cases, rare diseases or cancer patients on weird experimental chemo - that we looked to the medical residents for help...

...invention that could revolutionize the process of detecting and monitoring diseases such as cancer.Lieber explains in an e-mail that his device consists of several hundred silicon wires, each measuring only around 10 nanometers in diameter, each containing a receptor for a specific protein—for instance, a cancer marker.The new detector allows for real-time monitoring of blood, saliva, and urine using as little as one drop, whereas current detection involves sending several milliliter samples to a lab and waiting several days for results, Lieber says.Lieber says he believes the device is ready for production and is waiting...
...certainty that the benefit is worthwhile,” Bilmes says. The $2-trillion sum is so huge it is often hard for people to grasp, Bilmes says. In comparison, she says, the U.S. spends only $6 billion a year on disease control and $5 billion a year on cancer research.For a comparison that might ring truer to the Commencement Day crowd, the sum could fund four full years of Harvard tuition for 11.5 million undergraduates—more than the total number of full-time college students in the U.S.Or, it could pay for the entire world population...
...figuring out precisely which of the thousands of phytochemicals is most important, that is decades away, if it's even a legitimate question in the first place. Just as with vitamin E--and with the studies that debunked beta-carotene supplements as cancer fighters a few years ago--it may turn out that phytochemicals work only in tandem with one another or with other chemicals found in foods. Trying to isolate the "active ingredient" might be a fool's errand. Says Dr. Ronald Krauss, a nutrition and cholesterol researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab: "It's premature to interpret that...
