Different types of cancer have distinct molecular “fingerprints” that can be identified in the early stages of the disease with remarkable accuracy. Small, portable scanners can detect these fingerprints within just a few hours, according to a study published today in Molecular Cell.
A malicious Android spyware application named 'BMI CalculationVsn' was discovered on the Amazon Appstore, masquerading as a simple health tool but stealing data from infected devices in the background.
Industry experts said profit pressures and M&A contributed to job cuts. They said layoffs will likely continue into next year, but some expect the cuts to slow.

These injuries can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life, and rehabilitative therapy is often a patient’s only option. In recent years, electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising tool to provide relief and restore function with a small zap. The gains are often modest, though, which is why Candy Tefertiller, a neurological rehabilitation clinician in Colorado, was thrilled with the results from the ARC-EX.
