Time isn’t always in abundance at places such as airports, while infrastructure is lacking in many developing nations. Fortunately, researchers have created a diagnostic tool that can detect viruses quickly and easily, and that’s about the size of a quarter. <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/new-biosensor-quickly-detects-viruses/17051/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetically-guided-pill-sends-pictures-from-inside-the-stomach/16818/">Magnetically-guided pill sends pictures from inside the stomach</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/author/karen-sprey/">Karen Sprey</a></p> <p><em>05:24 November 22, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20101202215432im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetically-guided-pill-sends-pictures-from-inside-the-stomach/16818/picture/124820/">5 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetically-guided-pill-sends-pictures-from-inside-the-stomach/16818/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202215432im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/magnetically-guided-pill-sends-pictures-from-inside-the-stomach.jpg" title="Siemens Healthcare and Olympus Medical Systems Corporation are collaborating on the develo..." alt="Siemens Healthcare and Olympus Medical Systems Corporation are collaborating on the develo..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Stomach examinations may soon become more comfortable and less invasive with the development of a magnetically guided capsule endoscope.

A less well known bacterium Clostridium difficile (C diff), is also antibiotic resistant and on the increase. Infection prevention procedures used to address one superbug will not work for others, and traditional decontamination methods can be harmful to staff and patients. This new lighting system that kills bacterial pathogens but is harmless to humans may help beat this potentially deadly threat in our hospitals. The technology decontaminates the air and exposed surfaces by bathing them in a narrow spectrum of visible-light wavelengths, known as HINS-light. <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/light-decontamination-hospital-superbugs/16941/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/playing-tetris-minimizes-flashbacks/16929/">Playing Tetris shown to reduce traumatic flashbacks</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>15:52 November 12, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/playing-tetris-minimizes-flashbacks/16929/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202215432im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/tetris.jpg" title="Researchers have determined that playing Tetris minimizes the mind's tendency to flash bac..." alt="Researchers have determined that playing Tetris minimizes the mind's tendency to flash bac..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>If you’ve seen something you’d prefer to forget, then playing Tetris might be just what you need – provided you do it within six hours. That’s the conclusion reached by a team of psychiatric researchers from Oxford University, led by Dr. Emily Holmes. In a study involving 60 test subjects, it was found that people who played the video game within six hours of viewing traumatic images had less of a tendency to experience flashbacks of those images afterward. It all has to do with the way in which the brain processes experiences. <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/playing-tetris-minimizes-flashbacks/16929/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/microwaves-to-monitor-vital-signs/16915/">Microwaves could replace electrodes for monitoring vital signs</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>17:10 November 11, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20101202215432im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/microwaves-to-monitor-vital-signs/16915/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/microwaves-to-monitor-vital-signs/16915/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202215432im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/microwaves-1.jpg" title="Electrodes could become a thing of the past, thanks to new research into the use of microw..." alt="Electrodes could become a thing of the past, thanks to new research into the use of microw..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>In the not-so-distant future, patients having their heart rate or other vital signs monitored may not have to be wired up with electrodes. Scientists Atsushi Mase and Daisuke Nagae, at Kyushu University in Japan, have developed a method of remotely measuring such data using microwaves. This means that people would be free to move around as they were being monitored, or in some applications, would not even <em>know</em> that it was happening. <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/microwaves-to-monitor-vital-signs/16915/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/health/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/health/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/health/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/health/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/health/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop"> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202215432js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20101202215432/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
