A Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered a key mechanism by which tumors develop resistance to radiation therapy and shown how such resistance might be overcome with drugs that are currently under development.
 
 
 Abbreviated breast MRI may be valuable cancer detection tool for women with dense breastsAbbreviated breast MRI may be valuable cancer detection tool for women with dense breasts
 
Among women with dense breast tissue, for whom traditional mammograms are less effective at detecting cancer, who request additional screening after a negative mammogram, abbreviated breast MRI may be a valuable cancer detection tool.
 
   Radiology images can reveal critical clues about injury patterns of intimate partner violenceRadiology images can reveal critical clues about injury patterns of intimate partner violence
 
Radiology images can reveal critical clues not only about a patient's current injuries, but also about patterns of violence a person may be experiencing. Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital present data today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America from a study that reveals new ways that radiologists can be involved in the care of victims of intimate partner violence (IPV)

Our brains function by electrical and chemical signaling. Recording brain wave patterns can be very helpful in conditions like epilepsy, but the potential of this inexpensive and easily applied technology has not been fully recognized.
 
   Claustrophobia and Panic AttacksClaustrophobia and Panic Attacks
 
Claustrophobia is a fear of enclosed places or physical restriction. It can trigger symptoms of anxiety ranging from mild sweating or trembling to fainting or a panic attack. Common claustrophobia triggers include small rooms, elevators, closets, MRI scanners, airplanes, and other small or tight spaces.

 Determination of Hydrogen Content in Hydrocarbons using minispec NMR Method
 
Determination of Hydrogen Content in Hydrocarbons using minispec NMR MethodHydrogenation is a process used for refining vegetable oils and hydrocarbons. Hydrogen consumption presents a significant cost issue in a refinery, whereas percentage hydrogen content serves as a key indicator of refining progress.
 
 
 Claustrophobia Triggers and Causes
 
Claustrophobia Triggers and CausesClaustrophobia is a fear of enclosed spaces or physical restriction. It is often present with anxiety disorders. Claustrophobia affects approximately 4 percent of the population.

Penn neuroscientists develop first whole-brain map of electrical connectivity key to memory processingA team of neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania has constructed the first whole-brain map of electrical connectivity in the brain based on data from nearly 300 neurosurgical patients with electrodes implanted directly on the brain.
 
 
 Birth complications associated with decreased dopamine levels in the brain, study reveals
 
Birth complications associated with decreased dopamine levels in the brain, study revealsA new study, published in eLife, shows that most people born prematurely, who also suffered small brain injuries during the time of birth, have lower levels of dopamine in the brain.
 
 
 Problems at birth linked to long-lasting chemical changes in the brain
 
Problems at birth linked to long-lasting chemical changes in the brainNew King's College London research, published today (28 November) in eLife, shows that adults born prematurely - who also suffered small brain injuries around the time of birth - have lower levels of dopamine in the brain.
