Cancer scanner halves radiation
Posted in: Today's Chili
So sorry, you are not going to turn into a mutant anytime soon after undergoing a round with this cancer scanner which merges both PET (Positron Emission Tomography)and MRI into a single device, resulting in a new kind of medical technology that boasts of improved image quality and less radiation, thanks to the efforts of particle physicists at the University in Oslo . At the moment, most cancer examinations involve high levels of radiation, but this latest merged technology has been specially created to bring the best of both worlds, while reducing the amount of radiation that your body is bombarded with – which could be detrimental to your health in the long run.

If you happen to live in New York, then you would know that this city which never sleeps has its fair share of colorful characters, and among them would be this “Who’s Your Daddy” truck with Jared Rosenthal as the driver. As its name suggests, Rosenthal will charge anywhere from $299 to $575 for a paternity test, settling the answer once and for all to the question asked by bruised egos as well as suspicious minds, “Who is the kid’s parent?”
The Safety Pen might not be new, as it was thought up of last year, but then again, we are not going to argue with a $1 marker pen that was specially designed to be able to administer up to 400 prenatal disease tests thanks to the reagent within. Sean Monagle, a graduate student at the John Hopkins University’s Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design, alongside with his engineering classmates Maxim Budyansky, Sherri Hall, Matthew Means, Shishira Nagesh Mary O’Grady, Peter Truskey and James Waring, have come up with this particular marker pen which is capable of identifying prenatal diseases at the early stages in an accurate manner without costing a bomb, potentially able to save many lives across different continents.
It has been said that about 3 million children die every year because they do not have access to vaccine preventable diseases. Perhaps looking to start lowering those numbers, or perhaps as a way to better manage patient records, Peter Beegle has come up with an app called Immune. What this app does is that it basically links up to a QR code that can be either worn around the child’s neck as a pendant, or on an ID, or via QR codes embedded in toys or kept with the parents. Upon scanning the QR code, doctors will be able to pull up the records of the patient and will show what sort of vaccines will be needed for the patient or the rest of the children in the village.
Ever heard of Happtique before? I guess it is now our bounden duty to inform you of this mobile health application store that intends to introduce a new total app management solution known as the mRx pilot program. This patent-pending solution from Happtique enables physicians and other health practitioners to electronically prescribe medical, health, and fitness apps to their patients. It was specially designed to improve communications between practitioners and their patients, patient engagement and adherence, and ultimately patients’ health. 
Facebook might not be doing too well on the stock exchange at the moment, but this does not mean that the social network has no impact at all in this world. In fact, one of the more heartwarming stories that we have heard concerning the power of Facebook recently is this – Hannah Craig and her childhood friend reunited over the social network, Facebook. Basically, the gist of the story is this – one of Hannah’s started to fail earlier this year, resulting in the Tampa Bay area teen to look out for a donor in order to have a transplant performed. Doctors were not too optimistic about the prognosis though, claiming that it might take up to five years before a matching liver from a donor is found, before Hannah received a seemingly random phone call from a childhood friend, Hillary Glanzer.
Having smelly and damp armpits are something that most people do find troublesome, which explains the deodorant business which is absolutely booming. For those who tend to sweat around the ‘pits easily, here is a new procedure known as miraDry which intends to keep your armpit’s sweat glands nice and quiet using of all things, a dose of microwave energy.
