A new treatment has been developed that could destroy hard to reach cancer tumors that evade normal treatment. The treatment utilizes existing equipment available at hospitals, as MRI scanners are already a vital tool for diagnosing cancer.
The magnetic fields of the MRI scanner are used to steer a small magnetic seed through the body and into the tumor, where it is then remotely activated to destroy the cancer cells with heat. The 2mm seeds can be navigated accurately, and cause little damage to tissues around the cancer.
The researchers call the therapy MINIMA, which stands for minimally invasive image-guided ablation.
This video introduces the newfound benefits and information that the ultrasound provides, particularly that ultrasounds are non-invasive for both mother and child and relatively inexpensive. Fetal growth and even potential abnormalities can be discovered as they happen in real time. All the ultrasound requires is a full bladder, to provide a water-path for the ultrasound to be viewed.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded researchers at University of California San Diego approximately $30 million over five years to expand and deepen longitudinal studies of the developing brain in children.
“This is a groundbreaking study of normal and atypical brain developmental trajectories from day 0 to 10 years of age in a large sample of about 8,000 families,” Christina Chambers, PhD, MPH, professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and professor in the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at UC San Diego.
