Primordial Fish Had Rudimentary Fingers Tetrapods, the first four-legged land animals, are regarded as the first organisms that had fingers and toes. Now researchers can show that this is wrong. Using medical x-rays, they found rudiments of fingers in the fins in fossil Panderichthys, the "transitional animal," which indicates that rudimentary fingers developed considerably earlier than was previously thought. Proton Therapy Lowers Chance Of Later Cancers Patients who are treated with proton therapy a specialized type of external beam radiation therapy using protons rather than X-rays to treat cancer decreases the risk of patients developing a secondary cancer by two-fold, compared to being treated with standard photon radiation treatment, according Proton therapy lowers chance of later cancers American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Patients who are treated with proton therapy a specialized type of external beam radiation therapy using protons rather than X-rays to treat cancer decreases the risk of patients developing a secondary cancer by two-fold, compared to being treated with standard photon radiation treatment, according to a first-of-its-kind study ...

Emergency Health Centre at Willowbrook remains open during recovery period Emergency Health Centre at Willowbrook, the northwest Houston, full-service emergency care facility, remains open 24 hours a day during the storm recovery period for those in need of medical attention. Reducing Open Cancer Surgery The surgeon's knife is playing an ever smaller role in the treatment of cancer, as it is replaced by increasingly efficient and safe radiation therapy techniques. Progress in radiation technology will also lead to better detection rates for cancer. This is according to Professor Freek Beekman, who will give his inaugural speech at Delft University of Technology on Wednesday, 24 September. X-rays effective in cancer screenings But the less intrusive alternative to colonoscopies isn't perfect, federal study says A long-awaited federal study of an X-ray alternative to the colonoscopy confirms its effectiveness at spotting most cancers, although it was far from perfect. |
