Two-thirds of people with allergies suffer year-round, with few periods of relief. If y…

Nuclear Testing: It’s For The Heart, Too Nuclear Testing: It’s For The Heart, Too
Nuclear Testing: It’s For The Heart, Too PUTNAM COUNTY, N.Y. -- “Don’t go ‘nuclear’” might be a warning to someone who is highly stressed and overreacting to a situation, but when it comes to testing the impact of stress activity on the heart, “nuclear” may be just what the doctor ordered. That’s because use of nuclear material, radioactive isotopes that act as a “dye,” can give physicians more accurate information about the size of a heart’s chambers, its efficiency in pumping blood and the presence of any damaged heart muscle. The test also has an estimated 85 percent accuracy rate in determining whether any of a patient’s major …

Scientists Continue Hunt For Improved Diagnosis And Treatment Of Epilepsy WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The first known reports of epilepsy, which is characterized by seizures due to intense electrical activity in the brain, appeared in Assyrian writings around 2000 B.C. Ancient Greek medical texts reference the first neurosurgical procedure as being performed to quiet brain seizures. Mythological tales of demonic possession and lycanthropy – people convulsing into werewolves in the full moon’s light – are partially rooted in what was then a lack of understanding of brain disorders like schizophrenia and epilepsy. Epilepsy often leaves its victims in convulsions, foa…
