The goal is to advance the use of an endoscope -- which allows access to organs through natural openings, such as the mouth -- for a less invasive alternative to laparoscopic techniques (surgery performed through a small incision) or conventional surgery. They will present their findings from recent animal studies today at the American College of Surgeons 95th Clinical Congress in Chicago. http://www.physorg.com/news174746920.html Medicine & Health Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:49:12 EST news174746920 Mayo Clinic researchers say that "teachable software" designed to mimic the human brain may help them diagnose cardiac infections without an invasive exam. Those findings are being presented today at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in San Francisco. http://www.physorg.com/news171987074.html Medicine & Health Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:30:01 EST news171987074 Researchers have found that early stage cancers of the esophagus can be treated as effectively by less-invasive, organ-sparing endoscopic therapy as compared to more complex surgical removal of the esophagus, according to a Mayo Clinic study published in the September 2009 issue of Gastroenterology. http://www.physorg.com/news171092936.html Medicine & Health Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:49:24 EST news171092936 Smokers have fewer and flatter taste buds.
