Candy-Striped Layers of Old Blood Can Spike Eye Pressure, and an Eye Injection Can Set Them Loose Within Hours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The front of a patient's eye can look striped like a candy cane: a pale, khaki-colored band of cells resting on a heavier layer of fresh red blood. A recent clinical image in JAMA Ophthalmology, titled "Candy-Stripe Sign in Ghost Cell Glaucoma," put that pattern on display. The khaki layer is made of ghost cells, worn-out red blood cells that can jam the eye's drainage system and drive pressure dangerously high. Surgery and injury are the best-known ways they escape into the front of the eye. A
Laptop Makers Warn Against Long Skin Contact, and a Boy's Net-Like Stomach Rash Shows Why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A pre-teen boy in England developed a lace-like rash on his stomach after resting a laptop on his bare abdomen for up to eight hours a day, often while it was charging. MedicalDaily reported the case earlier this month. What has drawn less attention is that laptop makers already warn against that kind of use. HP's computer user guide is blunt. "To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the computer, do not place the computer directly on your lap or obstruct the compute
An Orthopedic Surgeon Broke His Own Hand Refusing to Let Go of a Groom's Shoe at a Wedding (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An orthopedic surgeon at a destination wedding in South Goa, India, grabbed the groom's shoe with both hands as several of the groom's friends tried to take it back. One of them seized his left ring and little fingers and forced them backward. There was a sudden snap. He still did not let go. X-rays later showed a long oblique fracture through the shaft of his left fourth metacarpal. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons describes the metacarpals as the five bones in the palm that "connec
Needle-Thin Brain Implant That Records, Stimulates, and Delivers Drugs Worked in Mice but Is Not Ready for Patients (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers in Denmark and the United Kingdom have built a flexible brain implant less than half a millimeter across that can record electrical signals, stimulate neurons with light, and deliver fluids at multiple depths through a single fiber. In tests in living mice, the device worked in both shallow and deep brain regions, according to a study published in Advanced Science and announced by the Technical University of Denmark on Sept. 21. The device, called the microfluidic Axialtrode, or mAxi
A 'Lead Ghost' Left Behind in a Man's Heart Slipped Through a Hidden Hole, and a Stroke Followed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When doctors pull a long-implanted wire out of a heart device, the wire does not always leave cleanly. Scar tissue that grew around it can stay behind as a hollow, tube-shaped sleeve. Cardiologists call it a "lead ghost." In a case from London, Ontario, one of those ghosts went somewhere doctors rarely see. As a 55-year-old man's failing lead was removed, a fibrous cast about 3.5 to 4 centimeters long, roughly 1.5 inches, broke loose from the right side of his heart and slipped through a small h
