Bill Partridge, President of VueTek Scientific commented, "Veinsite provides superior vein imaging in a unique, patented, head mounted configuration, making it the only truly hands-free, portable device. This provides clinicians with valuable information to facilitate their standard clinical practice. We believe Veinsite , which has a demonstrated success in the hospital IV market, will be as impactful in the vein therapy market. We are delighted to be working with Vascular Solutions to bring our innovative imaging technology to their market segment."

Differences between human twins at birth highlight importance of intrauterine environment
2012-07-16
July 16, 2012 – Your genes determine much about you, but environment can have a strong influence on your genes even before birth, with consequences that can last a lifetime. In a study published online in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers have for the first time shown that the environment experienced in the womb defines the newborn epigenetic profile, the chemical modifications to DNA we are born with, that could have implications for disease risk later in life.
Epigenetic tagging of genes by a chemical modification called DNA methylation is known to affect ...

Elegant delivery
2012-07-16
Cancers are notorious for secreting chemicals that confuse the immune system and thwarting biological defenses.
To counter that effect, some cancer treatments try to neutralize the cancer's chemical arsenal and boost a patient's immune response--though attempts to do both at the same time are rarely successful.
Now, researchers have developed a novel system to simultaneously deliver a sustained dose of both an immune-system booster and a chemical to counter the cancer's secretions, resulting in a powerful therapy that, in mice, delayed tumor growth, sent tumors into ...
New gene mutations linked to ALS and nerve cell growth dysfunction
2012-07-16
Researchers have linked newly discovered gene mutations to some cases of the progressive fatal neurological disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Shedding light on how ALS destroys the cells and leads to paralysis, the researchers found that mutations in this gene affect the structure and growth of nerve cells.
ALS attacks motor neurons, the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles. People with ALS experience such early symptoms as limb weakness or swallowing difficulties. In most people, the disease leads to death three ...
