A CWRU chemist's software program, a database of known toxic and carcinogenic chemical molecules, can help chemists determine within minutes whether a new chemical presents a liability for cancer, birth defects, side effects, or environmental hazards.
Others suffering from heart disease may one day benefit from research by a CWRU engineer who had open heart surgery and an aortic valve replacement. A former student piqued the professor's interest in how the laser diagnostic techniques he developed to study coal slurries might be applied to blood flow in an artificial heart.
Cleveland is the first major city to publish a city encyclopedia online. The Web resource updates the 1987 "Encyclopedia of Cleveland History," the first encyclopedia produced about a major U.S. city.
Grandparents are primary caregivers for more than 5 percent of U.S. children. A CWRU nursing professor examined health, stress, coping, and social support for grandmothers who are their grandchildren's primary caregiver, versus grandmothers who live with grandchildren but are not responsible for raising them.
A biomedical engineering professor at Case Western Reserve University recently received two major grants to support his research on the electrical activity of the heart to learn more about abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias, which kill more than 400,000 Americans each year.
An anticonvulsant drug may bring significant relief to some of the 1.3 million Americans who have burning mouth syndrome, a chronic, often debilitating condition whose cause remains a medical mystery. A Case Western Reserve University dentistry professor's study of the drug appears in the November issue of "Oral Surgery."
By December 15, a new telescope will go online at Case Western Reserve University as the country's first Earth-bound robotic telescope accessible to the public.
John Glenn, former senator from Ohio, the first American astronaut to orbit the earth, and later the oldest person ever to go into space, will deliver the address at Case Western Reserve University's commencement convocation Sunday, May 16.
A study has found that people usually are more honest, and distort bad news less, when delivering bad news via e-mail than through other methods, such as by telephone or in person.
A new study of the way individuals respond to advertisements shows how advertisers, through careful use of the individuals pictured in their ads as well as other visual cues, can appeal to minorities and non-minorities in the same ad.
The first detailed, systematic analysis of how gene sequences, and the proteins they encode, vary among human beings has taken a major step in identifying myriad gene changes that may cause hypertension.
Twenty-one senior dental students from Case Western Reserve University and four other schools are providing much-needed care at the Pine Ridge, S.D., Indian Reservation.
Unemployed single mothers would prefer to work, but often lack the job skills or child care to do so, according to a study by nurse-researcher at Case Western Reserve University.
A $1.4 million grant will help three medical schools improve the formal teaching of good doctor-patient communication skills, and better incorporate this instruction into clinical work during the third and fourth years of study, when medical students interact daily with patients.
Antioxidants in green tea may prevent and reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis, according to a study from CWRU's School of Medicine published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
Elderly patients at high risk for poor outcomes after hospital discharge who received comprehensive discharge planning and home follow-up implemented by advanced practice nurses were hospitalized less often, less quickly, and at far less Medicare cost.
A new study by a CWRU nurse researcher has found that relaxation and music, separately or together, significantly reduce a patient's pain following major abdominal surgery. Tested in addition to the usual pain medication, these self-care methods reduced pain more than medication alone.
Metropolitan regions with highly educated workforces fare significantly better in income growth than do regions with fewer educated workers, and the gap between the two is growing wider, according to a new study from Case Western Reserve University's Center for Regional Economic Issues.
CWRU researchers have designed a unique method that can remarkably suppress the magnetic fields outside high-tech devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Bucking conventional wisdom, their "supershielding" uses a short and open outside shield which produces the same field supression that an infinitely large shield would.
Cleveland scientists have developed novel genetically engineered mice that exhibit pathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. These mice will likely provide new insights into the disease and its treatment. The lack of an accurate animal model for scientific study has been an obstacle to understanding how Alzheimer's disease develops.
