Technology invented by scientists from The Johns Hopkins University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev can make three-dimensional imaging quicker, easier, less expensive and more accurate, the researchers said.
This new technology, dubbed FINCH, for Fresnel incoherent correlation holography, could have implications in medical applications such as endoscopy, ophthalmology, CT scanning, X-ray imaging and ultrasounds, co-inventor Gary Brooker said. It may also be applicable to homeland security screening, 3-D photography and 3-D video, he said.

Do you believe in your Doctor or take a second opinion?
“When I went for a second opinion, my internist got mad,” a physician with lymphoma recently told me. “As if I were his lover and had cheated on him.”
The reaction may be extreme, but it is far from uncommon. Second opinions have undoubtedly saved many lives and are likely to gain in importance with the growing public focus on medical errors. But they can be awkward for doctor and patient, and surprisingly little is known about them.

Benefits of Eating Chocolate???
Most people have heard that chocolate is good for you. But now, the medical journal Lancet is bursting the chocolate bubble.
Just in time for the holidays, a Lancet editorial published today notes that there won’t be a “truffle treatment” for heart disease any time soon. In fact, the editors point out that the very thing that makes chocolate good for you — the antioxidants called flavanols – also make chocolate taste bitter. As a result, confectionery makers often take out the flavanols, stripping the chocolate of its main health-promoting properties. Worse, labels usually don’t tell you whether your chocolate comes with or without flavanols, making it tough to know if a particular piece of chocolate has any health benefits at all.
Benefits of Eating Garlic

In a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers show that eating garlic appears to boost our natural supply of hydrogen sulfide.
