    Researchers at Duke University have developed a new ultrasound imaging technique that non-invasively detects tumors and fibrosis in the liver, thus avoiding the pain and complications associated with biopsy. These researchers are also extending the technique to aid in diagnosing other diseases, as well.

      Why havent you posted that you are doing irrelevent experiments on marmosat monkeys on how the brain processes sound???? Give me a break, stop wasting taxpayer money for your animal torturing irrelvent experiments... If you insist, use prisoners.

      Please, don't pull articles from PubMed. People need to be informed. Please, don't let International Law dictate what you do. Codex Alimentarius was voted against by Congress. No international law should tell Americans what to do with their health, supplements & medical freedoms. Put people first. Not profit, ego, power or political agendas. Prayers for wisdom for the NIH. arr

      I've been listening and reading reoports about a possible epedemic(possibly a pandemic)of Dengue Fever outbreak in the Country of India.Apparently the Indian Government is not fully reporting the extent of this problem.The Fever has also been found in some South American countries,Florida and the Carribean in this hemisphere.Currently there is no vaccine for this fever and all you can do is treat the symptoms.I wonder why there has not been more reporting in this Country,about what could be a very serious health problem to everyone who lives here?

    Food for Thought from Genome.gov | National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI): If "you are what you eat," we must better understand our food to keep ourselves healthy. After all, food that we consume is quite literally the building blocks for cells in the body. Read More: http://www.genome.gov/27551968

    From NIH Research Matters: Two new studies show the potential of a genomic technique to help spot abnormalities in fetuses that conventional methods can’t. The technology might allow better planning for early interventions and prevention of stillbirth. Read More: http://www.nih.gov/researchmatters/december2012/12172012fetal.htm

    When you cough or sneeze, you send tiny germ-filled droplets into the air. Colds and flu usually spread that way. You can help stop the spread of germs! http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/germsandhygiene.html

    From NIH News in Health: You’ve probably heard of glycemic index and glycemic load. Some studies suggest that sticking to foods with a low glycemic index may help prevent diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Some claim it helps with weight loss. The truth is, we don’t know all the answers yet. Here’s what you need to know.

    In this video from the National Institute of Mental Health Lisa Greenman talks about was an NIMH clinical trial for children with Aspergers Syndrome - children like her own young son...who was seven years old at the time. NIMH researchers had developed an exercise designed to mitigate frustration in children by teaching them relaxation techniques.
