A team of researchers at Kyoto University have demonstrated that the chaotic component of heartbeat variability is uniquely sensitive to cognitive brain activity. Conventional heart rate variability, HRV, indices show no consistent response, whereas chaos-based measures reveal clear and reproducible changes, providing a new noninvasive indicator of brain-heart interaction. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-04-chaotic-heartbeat-patterns-track-brain.html Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:50:03 EDT news696006241 A Japanese research team has discovered a novel global cooperative phenomenon of cell interactions in cervical cancer cells. Their findings suggest that the cells are metabolically connected in a functional network. The framework they used in their studies could prove useful for investigating the hidden state of a group of cells. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-03-discovery-cancer-cell-hubs-reveals.html Tue, 25 Mar 2025 12:58:12 EDT news662126282 US pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson on Friday announced plans to break up, splitting its consumer health arm that sells Band-Aid and Tylenol from its pharmaceutical division that includes the single-shot Covid-19 vaccine. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-11-johnson-companies.html Fri, 12 Nov 2021 09:48:41 EST news555932919 The old adage about two being better than one doesn't necessarily apply to brain surgery. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-02-compressed-stent-effective-overlapping-stents.html Thu, 16 Feb 2017 10:06:32 EST news406461982 Christian LaBow left Servite High's spring football practice early on a recent afternoon to undergo a brain scan. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-06-uc-irvine-high-school-brains.html Mon, 20 Jun 2016 03:50:01 EDT news385613029 Toshiba Corporation today announced the launch in the Japanese B2B market of EWP-001, a portable, desk-top electrolyzed functional water generator that produces hypochlorous acid water. At a time of increasing concern for hygiene in settings ranging from restaurants to healthcare facilities, EWP-001 produces a safe, low-cost anti-bacterial sterilizer and deodorizer that uses the same technology as industrial clean rooms. EWP-001 will be available from March 15. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-03-hypochlorous-acid-highly-effective-bacteria.html Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:00:02 EST news376303662 Toshiba Corporation and Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation have developed a technology for displaying expansive virtual reality images inside the bore of MRI systems. High reality images are projected onto a dome-shaped screen (dome screen) in the bore to take the patient's attention away from the actual examination space.
